only a few will know

a couple of days before i was to leave for manila, i had a bit of an emotional struggle to deal with. my sister, karla, being online during my waking hours became the receiving end of my temporary drama. now that i think i have "recovered" from that, a new struggle has ensued for me. i would overcome that in a few days, of that i am certain. but in the mean time, i have to put on my brave face for all of the world to see.

but you won't get to see the tears i cry..

here i come

the long wait has ended! i am going home tomorrow! :)

zoo blooms

i was supposed to wait until my parents come to cincinnati to visit before i went to the "tourist spots" but since the blooming of the flowers could not be delayed, i decided to go this weekend as i would be back in manila for the remaining weekends of april. being alone for most of my recent adventures, i am now an expert in taking self portraits using my camera. hehehe!

on another good note, i was able to do parallel parking for the first time today! i didn't want to pay an additional fee for parking so i looked for a spot on the curb. the first spot i saw was between two cars. i decided to try parallel parking instead of looking for another space and i did it! talk about what you can accomplish when you need to. :)

a walk through sharon woods

i've been through sharon woods before with l.u. and roman. it was autumn then and the park was a mixture of yellow, red and brown. i went to another visit last sunday, walking though the hike path. the weather was perfect and although the park wasn't a lush green yet, i still enjoyed my hour-long walk.
