The clock struck midnight and I waited for change. It was Y2K all over again. Nothing happened. At home, in bed, tired from so many things, I don’t know why I thought there would be something different just because a new year rolled in. But I did hope for…something. A melting away of the past. […]
Christmas from the Philippines to California
The streets were dark and so were most of the houses. There were no street lamps to guide the way for the rag-tag group of carolers. There were no strings of twinkling lights to beacon us to the more welcoming houses. So onward we went, house to house, ringing one doorbell after another. I stood […]

I’m Going to Make It
Three weeks from now is the 1st anniversary of this blog. 🙂 I don’t know much about emojis, but I’m excited-ish. I’m definitely happy. I’ve been beating myself up because I’m not the best planner.
