Dapit-hapon na. Ngunit asul na asul pa rin ang langit at ayaw magpatalo ng araw. Parang may gusto pang ihirit si Liwanag. Parang gusto pang maghatid ng regalo.

This is a typical scene when there’s a huge gathering at my grandparents’. The elderly all gather in the garage. The grandpas play poker, the grandmas play mahjong. The younger ones gather round the TV or tell stories in the dining room. The older you get though, the more you will find yourself moving out [...]

Live healthy. Laugh more. Hold hands. Save more. Cook more. Move more. Love, love, love. Those are the guiding words for making my 2009 lovely.
