I was really struck by the comments early in your post about Tukluhan and people not really knowing it's origins. It saddens me to think of a people not knowing their own history like that. I am fascinated by local history where I am as it relates directly to my ancestry, while I understand this interest may be a Hornsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544004835869277539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240896319294333780.post-54540235770619295802011-07-31T10:23:03.439-05:002011-07-31T10:23:03.439-05:00Those are incredible.

However, they just don't spark my interest like the ones abroad. We have some history going on, but it's nothing like the history and traditions of what I've experienced in other countries. Such an interesting summary here.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673728403023457344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240896319294333780.post-23183902531245260512011-07-30T02:25:17.456-05:002011-07-30T02:25:17.456-05:00Wow!

But it would take a lot of skill for the carving - I'll stick to paper cutting for now. Definitely, we will have to plan something when come here! 8-)<br /><br />Malou - Thank you! I never knew about pabalat either until I was doing research into pastillas.
