To feel the holiday spirit last December, I invited my sisters to join me and Kiel in a park visit at the Liwanag Park on Meralco compound located in Ortigas Ave. Eversince I started working in Ortigas, I can't help but notice the Meralco Theatre every Christmas because of its beautiful building facade full of Christmas lights and its infamous 'M' logo. I pass this park daily going to work and has been interested on what it offers. They set up Christmas lights on the park grounds and it becomes open to the public every Christmas season.

So off we went to this park one Saturday evening. We took an Uber ride but was dropped off at the wrong gate (Meralco compund is such a wide place with many gates) so we had to walk to the correct visitor's gate located in front of Shell station at Ortigas Avenue corner F. Ortigas Jr Road. I immediately noticed upon entering the compound that most of the visitors were groups of families with little children, just like us. The place was bright because of the trees and plants covered with different colored lights. 'Travelling the World' seemed to be the theme they chose for this year. Although not evident on the pictures I took, there are mini structures like the Burj Khalifa, Petrona Twin Towers, Pyramid of Egypt, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Big Ben of London, Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco and many more famous tourist spots which were scattered around the park. Haha, what a clever idea noh? Imagine travelling the world in just a single night, for free! 👍🏼

Kiel clearly had a great time being makulit. He didn't want to be carried and just wanted to linger on his own. I just realized upon writing this that this is the first park he has ever been. Surely, he was dead tired and was already asleep before we reached home.😂
