I did (dare to wear wide leg trousers)... at this morning's honors' assembly where our youngest son received a silver medal for last year's academic performance (related post below).
by Junnie Metro Manila is still wet. Some parts are still with knee-deep waters. One thing we have going for us is that we have strong faith that this too shall pass, and that the Filipino will rise above. It is October already and it seemed that no one noticed that we arrived Manila last Monday at the heels of the weekend Typhoon Ondoy visited the country. This week we celebrated the feast of the Archangels - Raphael, Michael and Gabriel, and last Thursday, we celebrated the feast of our Guardian Angels. What a whole week of heroic deeds from Pinoys helping their kababayans, and for all the angels in our lives. :)
"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet.

Pero sa totoo lang, after a long day at work or from school, it's always nice to come home to a clean house. Ang sarap magpahinga sa maayos na kabahayan pagkatapos ng mahabang araw di ba?
You look good, Ms. Linnor! Your legs look longer with those trousers. And congrats to the little boy! :-)
ReplyDeletethanks marie angeli! i'm glad it was effective in making my legs look longer than they actually are :)
