My mother-in-law called early today. She said she had put up their Christmas tree back to their attic. Mine, I have not. The year is not over yet. It’s just too beautiful to hide. If we could prolong the celebration longer. In Philippines we start putting decorations and playing Christmas songs months early, and [...]
My flight to Florida is tomorrow and though I had a lot of time this week, I just packed my bags today, to maximize my excitement I guess. I know we will be going to some outlets and thrift stores, for short, shopping galore, so my luggage is purposely just half-full. I will be checking [...]
Who would have known that our simple talks of taking a breather and visiting places to have some fun were not just simple at all, for it was also serious and would happen in reality. At least I could say it after my friend really requested one week off her work just to ‘accommodate’ me [...]
This is one of the photos I took on our way back from town. It was a beautiful day, a really quiet day. Not much traffic, but that is generally the scene. In this part of the place you don’t see too many vehicles, much less people around. But it makes the country side [...]
A picture of me and my ‘backup’, este, my family: mother, siblings and cousin outside the terminal building of Davao International Airport. Perhaps I was just as glad that my flight that time to Manila was delayed so I could ’steal’ some time left to be spent with them before we separate ways. Every [...]

We have a merry and loud Christmas eve this year. Loud in the sense that all sound systems here were operated in full volume, at least just for few minutes. And it was not yet New Year’s eve! We have several young people caroling us (they already had few times the previous days) with their [...]
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all, from our family. May our lives be blessed and our territories be enlarged this New Year and beyond. Inner peace to all.

I chatted with my sister today and I am glad to know that my other sister in Dubai can go home after some issue with the airline ticket that the company is supposed to give her. I am glad all went fine with her and she can now travel. I am excited for them, for [...]
It seems that our days in India are over, whether temporary or not. We have seen what we have to see, and visited places we ought to while there, and I am privileged which I am so grateful for. Have to move on. Middle east is very exciting for me too. I have several former [...]
