Pepper Lunch at Rockwell Kills the No Rice Diet
Met up with Fran, Didi, and Sophie for dinner. We had previously come from an event with Juned and AJ and made our way to Rockwell for dinner.

New Media is all about conversation. Spam NEVER talks back.

A Short Essay on the Family Dogs, Whilst Injecting Mothers Day in Non-Sequitur Nonchalance
Today, my parents celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary. We had lunch at the Bellevue in Alabang. I did the math and since I’m turning 28 this year, being the eldest means that I came into the picture five years into their married life.
