first car accident
2008-06-07 19:06:00 Well, I wouldn’t really call it an accident but it was the first time that Ramil hit something.

a dream house
2008-05-28 16:22:00 Ramil and I would sometimes get jealous of other people we know who have just gotten their own house or is about to get their own.

shoe shopping

On my first year of teaching, I was the math teacher for the grade four class. They were a bunch of boisterous, gregarious kids. Some of them were so small, they look like first graders. ...

a wedding/reunion
2008-04-27 05:21:00 Ramil and I attended one of my former officemate’s wedding last April 19. Both the bride (my former officemate) and the groom are Chinese so it was a church-full and ballroom-full of Chinese or at least Chinese-speaking people. There were even parts of the wedding when we could only guess what it was being said ... More About: Wedding , Getting Married , Reunion

keeping mateo busy
2008-04-16 05:30:00 Mateo is such a handful lately. He could barely sit still for ten minutes. It’s such a hassle now to bring him whenever we eat out because he could make such a ruckus.
