Stop and sleep

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

Of course, the logical direction of the mood swing is towards the extreme high and manifests as vague anxiousness and panic.

It will be dinner and karaoke over at auntie Ethel’s this New Years Eve.
A variety of sounds the past three days: firecrackers, karaoke singing, gun shots, drag racing, fire sirens, cats mating and fighting. I don’t mind all these noises, except for one which has been around for months and months already. It’s […]

The days after

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

The real Christmas family reunion took place yesterday, the day after Christmas. Auntie Ciony decided to move it because my cousin from Canada arrived on that day. It was so good to be able to see my cousin Divine again - and very good that she’s been coming to see us in the Philippines more […]

A simple Christmas day
