Lagawan turned 7 last October 24,2011. Yippie!!! And to celebrate its 7 years in the blogosphere, I’ve decided to give back or share something to others, instead of the usual series of Anniversary contest. Well, instead of celebrating it on the actual day, I moved it on the last weekend after semestral break (Nov 6) so the kids will have new set of school supplies and will be inspired to go back to school. And fortunately it was also the birthday of my Mom and sister, so the feeding charity project I planned turned to a birthday party with poppers, games and pabitin. It was a triple celebration of giving thanks and of course sharing with others all the graces we received.
