1. This is where my home is. I love being home because whenever I am there I am reminded of my childhood. The happy memories spent in our residence together with my siblings my parents and the people who one way or another became part of my childhood.

2. Family. Our family was established here. My siblings and I all grew up here. This is where we had some of our firsts, as kids. I remember playing in the streets of Tabi when I was younger. Most of the memories were being with siblings, cousins, being with friends in the streets or river, all just happy memories of playing and getting silly as kids.

3. Salog. My fave spot. I used to swim in this river. I love watching the boat passing through here or watching the sunset here.

5. Friends. I built good relationships with some friends here. In sulat u will hear the term batch often. This refers to your classmates could be in grade school or high school. I am glad I belong to batch 90. I treasure the friendship in this group.
6. Family gatherings. Its been in our family to gather often as much as we can. I remember when we were younger we usually get together in the beach with the bunch of baldados during weekends. I will never forget also the after Sunday mass get together in my grandmas house, again with the Baldados. Nanay Pruden was always ready with her coffee and pandesal and most importantly the reason why I get excited of the after mass bonding was its my nanays imported corned beef which she would just serve during a family get together like Sundays gathering in her house.Up to this time whenever we go home to Sulat we make it a point to gather and catch up for the missed times that we were not around, wherever, could be in the farm or any Baldado residence, whenever.

9. Fiesta. Sulat fiesta happens every 31st of July. Long week of celebration and preparation. The festive mood, the costumes in the parades, the food served, guests, the sarayaw(dance party), shows every night including the singing contest, the basketball tournament, regatta, marathon, the tiange how can i forget these and more. These all had been a part of me and somehow makes me excited about fiestas.
