Delubyo!

It was bound to happen.

Siksikan na ang mga tao sa Maynila. Pati mga buildings parang sardinas, halos magkakadikit. Ang mga ilog, puro basura. Ang mga drainages puro clogged ng basura, karamihan plastics. Ang daanan puro sementado. Halos wala ng lupa na pwedeng sumipsip ng tubig-ulan. Ang mga puno pinagpuputol to give way to residential needs. Pinabayaan natin.

Lesson learned.

Tulungan po natin sila. Even in our own little way, let us help our kababayans who are most affected by this current disaster in our midst.

The teen is now a lady

My niece, Colleen Abigail turned 18 today. Since we won't be on her party on Saturday, we decided to take her to dinner after her class. While waiting for the food, we gave her her gifts: a digital videocam from Glenn, Anne Klein watch, belt, earrings and an imported lotion from me, and of course, her cash gift.
Happy 18th birthday Colleen! We love you!

Happy 09-09-09 everyone!

9-9-9 will be the last of the single digit date, the next one will be after about 1000 years. Yup, quite some time it'll be, folks. Maybe it will be great if we celebrate and do something memorable on this day. Or list down nine goals or do nine nice things or simply think of nine things that we should be really, really thankful for and GIVE THANKS.

Oh well, happy birthday to all you niners out there! May all your good wishes come true!
