Severe thunderstorms slow us down!!

It has been raining off and on for the last 3 days now but today has been the worst of all 3. As I type this, it is raining cats and dogs out there steadily for the last hour. Yesterday, the internet was down and the service we use informed us that they were experiencing a nationwide problem. It had taken about 30 hours to restore.


Eline and Uli (with kids) took us to lunch yesterday and I asked if we could visit our grandparents graves. I was too young to remember my grandfather but experience my grandmother till I left home back in '86. One of my regrets in life was that I never got to say goodbye to her. I had the opportunity back in '91 but decided not to wake her up the day I was leaving because it was 4am. A year later, she died and I immediately felt the pain and sorrow of missing her. All these years I've prepared myself for the day I visit her grave and apologize to her. What I could not prepare for was the flood of emotion as I stood infront of her grave. I miss her so much!


Would you like to know what driving is like this part of the world? Check these videos out. Tricycles, jeepneys, pedestrians: all own the road. One more thing, when you drive.. you always seem to have the right of way!











Hey N, you'll never guess what my mom does during her spare time...
