away

Thank you 2007!

I’ve been away for quite a long time now! Was away on the hills, at home-- with folks for Christmas and New Year and some more. And then, the post vacation bug bugged me for quite some time.

My family spent Christmas together after six long years and perhaps that was one reason why it was exceptionally awesome. We were all so full of love! Hardly any fights except fighting for my darling nephew. The first grandchild in the family and I guess that explains it. Until I come up with any fancy thoughts, I leave here some of the pictures I clicked during my vacation.

Have a beautiful year!

It's been almost two years now since dad retired. A workaholic that he was..fell into depression until he decided to take up gardening. The moment I reached home he took me around exhibiting his well tended beans, the mustard, the broomsticks, berries and the works! He is happy--thanks to a tension free job and we are happy too...coz we get to relish fresh veggies and fruits straight from the garden! :)

"it's my turn to kiss him!" "no it's mine"!! "It's my turn ...you just did it!" and the baby says: "bug off you adults! it hurts" (my bros Justine and Wallie, cousin Apok and the hero Nung

moa the baby)

my cheeks have turned pink!

The view from my veranda. Notice the star? that's a neighbor's Christmas star hosted on a bamboo.

This river runs down below my aunt's

cottage in a small town "Tsudikong". while the adults were catching up, we kids decided to try the raft. (am not in the picture though...my turn came later but no one captured my glorious moment of rafting for the first time!)
