We didn’t visit the cemetery. I just lit this candle at the altar. Oyen had several candles made two years ago for her Lola Felicing and Lolo Cardo with their names and silhouettes.

We humans will continue to pollute the earth because of our lifestyles. I don’t know how we can reuse and recycle these plastics. The massive effort must start with the manufacturers. They should come up with biodegradable, environmentally friendly packaging.  Nung araw, bibili ng suka mering dala-dalang tasa na lalagyan.  Tapos biglang nagka meron ng plastic.  That kind of retail would still work in the suburbs but not in big cities.  Bibili ka ng suka may baon kang bote.

Nov 4,  she gave me one whole box of Dunkin’ Donuts kasi daw 30th birthday nya.  I took one piece and gave back the rest of it.   When I was 28 years old I was so worried what would happen to me when I turned 30.    Kala ko kasi uugud-ugod na ang 30.

I never posed beside cars in the past 10 years, kala ko kasi ang taba-taba ko na nuon pa.  Now that I am truly heavier than thou and always looking like mamamalengke,  ngayon ko pa gustong magpa-picture sa tabi ng kotse,  kunwari promo girl.  #promomom
