My elder sister, Gabrielle
Khryss flew to U.K. for her birthday this summer. She pleaded to Dad and
Mom, that she be allowed to visit England and Wales in lieu of having a party
for her debut. Well, she got her birthday wish! My parents said that she earned
a trip for having good grades for her first year in the university.

Before my “Ate”
Gabrielle left, I requested her to look for an archery shop in U.K. and buy
some stuff for me. I did not ask for other “pasalubong” (gift) because all I
wanted was a new archery bag. My sister visited Windsor Castle, Hampton
Palace, Stonehenge, Bath City and other places before she remembered my
request. Of course, I also kept reminding her about it.
Together with my Tita
Winnie, she went to Quicks Archery Store located at Apps Court in
Surrey, which is near London. The store has an indoor and outdoor range. It
sells recurve and compound bows, arrows, quivers, chest guards to
accessories, among other things. My sister was able to buy a nice
lightweight backpack that comes complete with an arrow canister for
me. The Hoyt bag was out-of-stock, so she got me an SF backpack instead. She
also bought a Hoyt bucket hat and a bowstringer for me.
