Almost Unfaithful
Sometimes I wonder, am I ignoring these signs too much or are you just too friendly.
Will you do the same for every other girl?

Home For The Holidays
These 20 years of family gatherings came to an abrupt end when my mother-in-law passed away in 1993, and my father-in-law passed away two years later. We eventually established new family traditions, but we all remember that special unplanned Christmas gathering in 1979 when everybody was with us.
Pauwi Na
Araw-araw ganito tayo. Tatlumpung minuto nating binabaybay ang Ayala papuntang terminal ng UV Express. Ako ba-byahe papuntang Maynila, ikaw pa-Rizal. Tatlumpung minutong minsa’y tahimik, minsa’y maingay. Ngunit lagi, may kwento.

The Slowest 5K in History
This year’s race was supposed to be special for me since I am now a personal trainer at Safari Island Community Center in Waconia, and I know a number of the great people who live here.
