(roi,jojo,ana holding photos of me and adrian)
it was a few minutes just past midnight in the Philippines (25th of december). a few minutes after 4pm in the UK (24th of december).
even time and distance cannot stop ties that bind.
we keep up the tradition of connecting and showing our appreciation of having one another in eachother's lives.
this photo was'nt chosen for its photographic qualities. the whitebalance is too warm, the composition not exactly quality, the laptop's dust much more obvious in the photos (harhar), and there really is nothing much to how the photo looks but the meaning is so much more to me.
this was taken after speaking to my mama. my brothers, jojo,roi and my sister ana were holding photos of me and adrian, while we greeted one another "merry christmas".
in my background was my stereo playing christmas songs, and behind them, i could hear the entire family chattering and laughing.
this was our version of a group photo.
yes, i did spend christmas with them. phils time, at least.
I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.
Oprah Winfrey
My hope is to see myself in others. My reflection mirrors my identity.
I am thinking about what I want to achieve, then connect with others with the same dogma and maybe (just maybe) one day, change the world.
This is how coffee affects me. Pensive and Vain.

"Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more." (David Steindl-Rast)
It was Dec 23. The night I will always remember as my worlds, being united. It was the night the little souls met for the very first time. My fear evaporated as easily as the moment I saw them having fun.
We went through the festival of lights - where kids and adults were at once, a lot alike. At that very moment. Amazed, satisfied, and happy. Where everything was right with the world.
Senor Sto Nino have always been the third person in our marriage. We tried for 2 years to have our 1st born and after completing 9 days novena and asking for a child, Lorenzo Mikel was conceived. Yes, we did not name him Nino because we can only have one Nino in the house.
Each and every journey we took there after, Sto Nino was there for us. In fact, his image moved to Auckland too.
The preparation for Auckland's celebration of the feast of the Sto Nino has kept us busy in December and January. Being a devotee and dancing the Sinulog for the 1st time here in Auckland was definitely my best moment for 2009. What a good way to start the year.

It was a few hours before Noche Buena. Clark, Beau, and I were spending time together at the living room -- laughing, telling stories, and taking pictures.
I asked Beau: Do you love Kuya Clark?
She replied: Kaau. (Very Much).
This is one of my favorite moments last Christmas -- witnessing how the next generation have so much love for each other.
