He was supposed to join us in Palm Springs and our plan was to spend two nights in Santa Monica at a hotel overlooking the beach. Hindi natuloy so we drove back last night so we could be with Nyke today.

I am preparing some small gifts. I want to tell him something but I can’t even begin. Parents say the same things to their children. When my mother was still alive I liked to complain that she was very repetitive, paulit-ulit na lang ang sermon. Ganyan din ako ngayon.  Eh what else does a mother say?
