i really love Guimaras -- next to Bicutan, of course, kahit na magulo at delikado. but it wasn't always like that in Bicutan. to me, it was perfect. (and this "me" i am talking about was just 7 years old then!) we had the nicest neighbor, and a very clear creek, we can catch some tadpoles and bring them home, as well as some fishes, which on some unfortunate cases, would give out a stench smell the next day (somebody forgot to put holes on the jar of the jar lid!)

well, back to Guimaras... i would love to come and visit some day. i wanna se my old school, my old classmates (literally!) and of course my grandparents... i was so sad when i heard that my grandmother had a mild stroke last week. it's been like years since i last saw her, and my grandfather, and i would really love to be with them again. they raised us up and i owe them big time.

anyway, it's already october... i will miss the "filipino" christmas. one time, i was on a department store and i saw their christmas decors, and i sang (out loud) merry christmas... and the lady beside me said "oh your already in the (christmas) spirit" and i grinned, (really embarrased) but replied, "oh yes, i sing the song, 'it's the most wonderful time of the year' almost everyday!" and we both laughed... and my heart cried...
