Greetings from the Philippines

Well, I just arrived this morning after a long 14 hour flight from SFO. I came in at about 4:15 am Manila time and I must say the airport is really nice. My mom and dad picked me up at the airport and when we got to the house, I didn't even recognize it. My parents renovated it and it was not the same house from what I remember back in 2001, which was the last year I was back home.

I finally saw my niece and nephew, they are so cute. I will try and post pictures later. Now I think I'm gonna rest up a bit.

review

I saw superman returns with Maestro tonight and I'm telling you it's a refreshing movie to watch. it's still has the quirkiness of the old superman movies, but with a touch of romance and humanity. Kevin Spacey played the role of Lex Luthor with as much gusto as an academy award winner would have, he was cool. There's a few surprises in the movie, but there's one that will make you go WOH. I won't say what it is, you just have to go out and watch it.

Rest In Peace

At 3 am today, my beloved grandmother finally decided to go meet God in his kingdom. She was 92 and she led a very good, eventful and happy life. She supported 7 kids all by herself (my grandfather died of a heart attack at 30 something years old) my dad was in the 5th grade at the time. Besides all this adversity, she managed to get all but one through school and through college. Everyone from her kids to us grandchildren and even the great grandchildren owe her a lot of gratitude and honor, for if it wasn't for her perseverance to make sure that my dad and the rest of his siblings ended up with good educations which eventually led all of them to have good lives which in turn gave us kids a chance to enjoy life as well. It is with a heavy and sad heart that I bid farewell to my beloved "Nanay".

We love you always and your legacy will be with us all.

Addicted to watching this.....

I'm currently addicted to watching the world cup. It's very exciting to see this spectacle. It truly is a WORLD event. I mean the winner can truly say that they won against the very best the world has to offer. Unlike the so called world series of the American baseball, where its only teams from the US (and 1 from Canada) compete for it. They should call it the America's trophy series and not the world series cause it just doesn't include the rest of the world.

Anyways, if you get a chance to watch the soccer matches, I'm sure it will be a pleasant experience.
I can't wait until I go to the Netherlands and France in two weeks, with my dance company, and be there for the whole experience. Should be fun and exciting.
