MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME: San Jose Del Monte Bulacan

"Travelling takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere."

March of 2007 I went to Manila to work.  Though I have mixed emotions.  Going to Manila is not that easy living my two kids behind in Davao with my parents, but I don't have a choice but to leave them for a while and work. And to meet my second family, the SACMON FAMILY.


Tough decision I guess.  Need to balance my needs and the needs of my children.  Even if I am 45 minutes far away from my children I feel the love and the acceptance of the SACMON FAMILY.


The SACMON Family residence is located at Sto. Cristo, Tialo, SJDM Bulacan.  Near Tialo Bridge.

Loneliness is part of my travel but yeah its true that even you are far away from home and you have family who cared so much about you nothing to be afraid of, still the same you feel at HOME.

Jane, Diane, Nanay and Allan

I stayed with them for almost a year.  Nanay Purificacion, Diane, Allan and Bebe are my closest in the family.

In my day-off we usually go to the market and walk down Tialo Bridge.

Or ride on their jeepy going to Sapang Palay and touring me around SJDM, Bulacan.

The most part I love from my stay here in SJDM is the food Nanay cook.  I love her LAING so much ( I miss it already ).

My stay is not that quiet as well as others might say. I miss my kids.  I miss Davao.  Sad but I have to go back home, the home I surely called my HOME. But I promised Nanay I will come back and visit her soon in Sto. Cristo Tialo SJDM, Bulacan.
