I’ve just turned 36! Hooray. *Eeyore voice*
I really do not feel much difference between 35 and 36… yet. But yes, four more years to go and… Tada, the big four-o!
I know some women who get more aggressive skin interventions as they near or hit forty – Botox, chemical peels, collagen, prototype 37c (a powerful anti-wrinkle [...]
My bump car is no bump car anymore! *woot*
…For now, that is. hehe
Hub finally had mercy upon my dearest baby and had the bumpers repaired and repainted. Now it’s looking shiny and smooth again. I intend to keep it that way for a long, long time. (Waiting for auto insurance quotes takes a lot [...]
Since attending WordCamp in 2009, I realized the importance of backing up our blogs and websites. I’ve read of countless blogs that crashed or were hacked, and the files - all precious memories captured in text and photos – went skaboosh!, vanished into the thin virtual air.

And everyday, I get something from them. Something funny, something precious, something that gets me pondering… I think that kids have far more wisdom than most adults do.
It’s often from their innocent remarks in such unguarded moments that I learn more about them. That’s why I make it a point to talk [...]
I know this is late. This post has been on draft since the 1st, but, as usual, life has gotten in the way…

Sunrises never fail to give me an awed feeling. I shot this photo on our way back to Manila from Baguio. We left Baguio at 5 AM and the sun was just rising as [...]

I take this opportunity to thank all who have been reading this blog. Thank you for the support through the years. I hope to keep getting better with [...]
The recent scenes of devastation caused by Typhoon Ondoy bring me back to the July 1990 earthquake, when my family and I camped out in the park for several days.
