  • Pag nakakakita ako ng mga videos ng mga farmer’s market haul, natutuwa ako. Parang ang saya nyang activity. Na-experience ko na sya dito pero hindi ako natuwa. Hindi kasi maganda yung farmer’s market dito sa Calgary—to be fair, isa pa lang naman yung napupuntahan ko. Pero ang layo rin kasi dito sa lugar namin. Tapos…

  • During our weekly heart-to-heart session last week, merong tanong dun sa couples deck na: What’s your ideal day pag nag-retire ka na? So inisip ko yung mga gusto kong gawin pag lola na ko, which is:
