Just dropped by to say hello. I haven't been able to update the site for quite a while. I've been really busy since the start of the school year. I have to get up earlier than usual. Can't stay up late anymore. Hindi na kaya ng katawan, or in other words "hindi na bata." (I don't like using the antonym of bata.) :-) Besides, I have this thing that we call "job." Well, anyway, here are some new pictures for you. I have also created a movie clip, "The Story of Us."

Summer is finally over. The kids are back to school. The kids were at home with me for two months. They helped me out around the house and gave me more free time to read and finish the novel, East of Eden. My pen was also busy this past summer. Take a peek at my "Summer Diaries." This will also give you a glimpse of what it's like to raise the 3 Rs (my three boys)

I was looking through my mother's photo album and found some more old photos of our family. I didn't realize that she had more siblings than I thought she had. These siblings are no longer with us, but they are a part of our family and I had to add them to our Family Tree. I have also written a short Family History. We also have 3 new arrivals. My cousin Gemma had a baby boy, Rielged. My cousin Maricar had a baby boy as well. (I still have to find out his name.) My niece Marife (daughter of my cousin Tess) had a baby girl. I still cannot believe that I am already a grandaunt. Well, I don't really mind. With a family as big as ours, it was inevitable. Besides, I don't look like a lola naman, di ba?
I also found some more old photos of my father and mother when they were younger and still happy together. I feel nostalgic whenever I see these old black and white photos. Those were the happier days, when I was still very young and innocent. And I just really treasure the memories of my father. I created a tribute to my father's memory. This tribute was inspired by Luther Vandross' new song, Dance with my Father.
Don't forget to check out my exciting account of My Visit to Folklorama. And guess what? I am not the only writer in my family. My niece, Agnus-Mariae writes very beautifully. Check out her work, Echoes From the Past.

I have been a bit pre-occupied lately. I have been busy adding pages to my website. This has been really a very enjoyable pastime for me. I have added a "What's New?" button on the Home page to keep you updated with recent news about my family and friends, and also with recent additions to my site.
I have created a new website which I call Old Songs. I have compiled tons of song lyrics mostly from the 70's and 80's. Browse through my song list and select a song. If you want the lyrics to your favourite songs, request your song and I will e-mail you the lyrics if I have it in my song album.
Our most recent pictures are posted in "Photos." I have also added my extended family in "Family."
Please note that you will find a "Site Map" button at the bottom of every page, just in case you get lost. Links to other websites that I have created are found on the Home page and Links page, as well.
