We were all young once......!

Just a short summary of my peaceful easy feeling life. So far, things has been going smoothly and it really feels like time is always on my side.

I just love the simplicity to live with my little family and enjoy the great blessings I have in life.

Photographs are one of my treasures in life and I hope someday, they will represent as my "memory" when everything will come to an end. Kidding aside, let's face it! C'mon!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas and a Prosperous, Marvelous, Happy 2010!

Welcome to the year 2010!!!


Days before the year 2009 ends, my family had something to celebrate and to look forward as me and my Olle are celebrating the memorable 25th wedding anniversary! Yepp, we have been together more than half of my life and I must say it feels great to be still alive and kicking but most of all our marriage is still "going strong" and we feel we've been grown together and mounted for life!


We were all excited to see Tessan again as she's coming over from London during holiday season. It was just likely wonderful when Emmy could also join us to celebrate Christmas at home.


My days were also full of nice "cyber-spaced" contacts with many love ones all over the world. Thank you everyone, you really spiced-up my life.

Sta. Fe Resort, Starbucks, Casino Filipino, Saltimboca, Rooftop Karaoke Bar, SM Mall, Robinson Mall, B&B in Alijis, La Granja, Lakawon Beach Resort;

Everything sounds just very exotic, right? It's exotic indeed! Three weeks of bountiful joy, laughter, singing, dancing, eating, sleeping and not the least, happy bonding with friends and relatives are spent in this lovable city of Bacolod in Negros Occidental,Philippines.

A scary incident we also experienced during an aborted take-off due to bird strike with Cebu Pacific aircraft and we realized how lucky we've been to escape from such a misadventure. It was only seconds from a horrifying disaster! God is really good to us....

From a hectic and stressful day, me and my 3 friends stayed at the Manila Hotel and enjoyed the night with music and good food. It feels good to be back to this luxurious, friendly, and historical place and I could relax and feel at home in this environment.
