This is the highlight of my day: blog. I have been unproductive for the past 6 hours doing nothing except take pictures of my crew here at the Holiday Inn Inner Harbor.. They love these digital pictures. Our admin Sandy is so sweet.. she said I can't deal with these technology but I sure am so pleased with how I can find my best pose.. And I ( Read more... )

We woke up at 5:30am today to join Poy's sister & her boyfriend go hiking. I was so excited the previous night.. it's as if I am diving the next day. Except that I won't be wet.

Really, so how can I invite the buong barangay if it's a Friday?! I'm hoping the people I expect will ( Read more... )

It has been four months since my grandmother suffered stroke but to me it feels like eternity. Somehow, I found it hard to articulate my feelings and convince myself that a fateful day like that could happen to an enegetic, beaming-with-so-much-life 83 year old.
