After breakfast, we left the house to secure Lola's prescription for her injectable medicines in the town's health center.

Interesting Cokes in Britain which had reminders on the tags. To share the bottle with someone. Bea got "Share a Coke with Sam,". Pigeons ...

Monday, February 7, 2011. Ever since high school, there was always one other person in school who supposedly looked like me. Now that I find pretty amusing since my own sister and I barely resemble each other and the closest people who supposedly share some of my facial features are my Tita Vilma and my cousin Denise. Who knew that law school would yield another person who seems to bear an uncanny likeness to my physical appearance? Good heavens, we even part our hair in the same way! Phibs and I both th...

Wednesday, May 25, 2011. Slowly he lifted his hand over the bed rails, rested his palm over my right shoulder and closed his eyes. I tried so hard not to cry as he moved his hand back to the bed. I held his hand and he held mine back. We would be like this for the next couple of days, in a comforting - and comfortable - state of silence until his heart finally stopped beating. The song has always appeared to be innocent and straightforward but it is only upon closer examination that the last verse seems ...

Wednesday, February 29, 2012. 28 February 2012, 11 pm. So what does a girl do on the eve of one of the most important days of her life? Months ago, I imagined I would be biting my nails to nothingness and fighting off sleeplessness, all while leafing through my Bible furiously and perhaps waiting for some divine sign that everything was going to be all right. Tomorrow will be another gateway into something better. Posted by Amberle Brin. Tuesday, February 14, 2012. I didn't know my own strength.

Tuesday, May 15, 2012. Cue Ed Sheeran’s “Lego House.”. 8221; What I liked best about her (and laughed most heartily at) was her verbalization of something I had long been puzzled with: why a lot of dresses do not come with sleeves anymore for those who want to cover their arms when, according to her, “the whole point of clothing is to hide your shame” which she supports with a verse from Genesis.

Thursday, March 24, 2011. A New Year's Eve Letter. My dearest Lolo,. I'm going to be straight out honest with you because I haven't been for the past seven years or so. First, I owe it to you to be honest.

All right, here goes. My grandfather - with his Einstein hair - checks. Who I Check Out.
