Ef and I have been on the road for a week now and its far by a great adventure. We experience an entirely new season for Tropic dwellers, autumn bordering winter, amazed with greenbelts and local parks, and baffled with trams and where to hop in again.
But, what is a trip without meeting a kababayan. And we have been blessed to have the opportunity to be reunited with old friends and meet new ones. Time flies so fast we can’t all believe we have grown and now trailing respective lives, its amazing!

Finally, I’ve been able to play with Asher, Tonette’s big boy! Tonette was my hs classmate back in Quezon. I’m so happy for her achievement now as a mom, wife to Rey and an accountant in Brisbane :)

And then there’s Wowie! Our fluffy dormmate at St. Therese back in my college days. Wows used to be caught by Sr. Suki room-hopping, laughing too hard and giggling every now and then. And now, she’s writer in an accounting firm (imagine??!) with a great Aussie accent! Its FANTASTIC! :D

And Kath! Who would not miss this girl who laugh so contagiously! She’s a former forester turned chef at Conservatory :) She’s still lovely and very Pinoy!
All of them shout at the sight of Flat Tops and Choc Nut! Haaay. Lovely feeling of reuniting with them in Sydney and Melbourne :)

And yes, what is a trip without meeting and making new friends! Here’s Nick and Ate Michelle, then Kye, Ate Mary and Kuya Tim. They’ve been our very gracious host in Melbourne. Maraming salamat po sa inyong blessing, kwento at kape.
Ohana on the road :)

I think everyone should give yoga a chance :)
In an effort to provide abused children with a safe way to reach out for help, a Spanish organization called the Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk Foundation, or ANAR for short, created an ad that displays a different message for adults and children at the same time.
This is what you call “genius”.
