Aside from the scheduled hearing, my must-do in Cagayan de Oro was to take a picture of this:



A street sign with my lola's name on it. And no, her name is not Blvd.

Vamenta was actually my great-grandfather's adopted name. As a Chinese immigrant, he had to adopt a Filipino name and he chose, or was permitted to use, Vamenta.

I guess the Vamentas must be some important family to have a boulevard named after them in Cagayan de Oro. Of course I'd like to align myself with such an esteemed lineage, but as it is, I sadly sprung from the second rate, trying hard, copy cat side of the (feeling) family.
