For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been the kind of person who honors traditions. I stick to the same plan every year, never really changing what I’ve grown accustomed to doing growing up.

My first digital camera was a cute little pink Cybershot U that I insisted on buying purely because of kawaii factor. I dragged my Kuya to Megamall in search of the maarte 1.3 MP cam (wala pang zoom!) and we celebrated my purchase at Almon Marina. { One of the first shots from that camera } I still have that…

Christmas Eve
It’s been four years. It doesn’t really feel that long unless I read my previous entries and I’m proven wrong. It has been that long. Five years ago was the last Christmas we spent with you, in an unfamiliar place that almost reminded me of Shake, Rattle, and Roll. I watched you get wrapped in sheets of powdered carbon, laying…

Holiday Rush
Last year, I was super efficient and got my Christmas shopping done at least a month before Christmas. This year, I panic bought gifts on the last weekend before Christmas eve! I had a plan, though. To get to the mall right when it opens and get out before the madness starts at lunch time. Got to Megamall at 10:30…

Happy Holidays
Two years since the first. First in this new old home. And I’m happy to report that this Christmas was not necessarily the loneliest one without you. It’s been a while since I got excited about Christmas. Buying presents, wrapping gifts, preparing Noche Buena (although I can’t take credit for that. It was all All-Around Pedro). We heard Mass as…
