Rockefeller Christmas Tree at Midnight
A few nights after the Rockefeller Christmas Tree was lit, and on one of the coldest nights in my life (heads up: I'm from the tropics so what's cold for me may just be a normal cold to you), David and I, with his whole family, had a late night road trip to the city to see the ...
Wrapping up the Past Decade in a Bow
A tad too late to the decade-ender party but as always taking my time to process it all—the decade that has passed, the new one that has just begun. I started writing this post in December, only to write up the last paragraph while in quarantine. Ha! I'll save the quarantine ...

Sometimes I wonder when I would get out of this perpetual state of busy. I am working on it, and I am fully aware how ironic it is that I've been working so hard so that I won't have to be working so hard, you know what I'm saying? But that's just the way it is around here ...
You’ll Always Be Our Babies
"You're my baby," I would say. "I'm not a baby anymore, I'm a big girl," Rain would reply. "But you're my baby," I'd repeat, part joking, part serious like 'I don't care what you say, buddy, you're mine!' "No, no, Mommy, I'm not! I'm a big girl. See, I'm 5," she would insist, ...
