project read

today we read to kids from a small school we're helping



and got the best thank you ever.

i take refuge in the buddha...

i take refuge in the dharma...

thanks, adorable guardian lion,

for presenting me an orange during your cute traditional dance earlier. i think this orange is so special, i dont wanna eat it! lol.

happy new year, family, friends, and phantom readers! may the year of the water dragon be filled with love, luck, and rock and roll.

cool color effect

hehe. something i discovered while playing with my sister's thingamajig on the way home.

date with dinosaurs

me happy like the smiling t-rex!

starting my very 1st skin care regimen

i hope it makes my post-acne skin better because i've been feeling so ugly for half a year now. hehe.

me eat babies for lunch

lately my nanny while i was growing up and my silly younger sisters have been asking me for a baby. doesn't anybody in this house know how expensive and fragile and scary babies are? can't we just borrow 1???

and preferably 1 born in the year of the rabbit, like my happy baby cousin here and yours truly. rabbits are the best babies, i think—peaceful, obedient, and organized! the organized bit is very important as you don't want a messy baby. lol.

yeah, i wish i'm kidding. i'm not, sorry.

but i like babies. especially for lunch! and you know this 's just a joke, right? hehehe.

today is my 1st day back in the morning shift, and i'm home for only an hour, with the help of colleagues who are covering for me, because my mom's throwing an intimate goodbye lunch for cousins who are flying back to aussie tonight...

it's a very bittersweet thing, a very bittersweet thing.

it's the eve of the sinulog

and since here it's a bigger deal than christmas and the new year combined, we're celebrating at work, too.



the fire dance was 1 of my favorites.



and the bit a colleague's trainees gave me more candy because they think it's amusing that i'm very happy and excited to receive sweet treats.



and, of course, all free food. lol.
