Adios, Mi Abuela Julia

My Apo Julia was laid to rest today.  She was 95 years old.  Apo is the best grandmother one can ever have.  She was caring, thoughtful and very loving to her kids, grand kids and great grand kids. I am her youngest grandchild, and my dad is her youngest son.  We were spoiled rotten by her.  I remember she once told me that she wouldn't go to rest until she sees me give birth.  She did not only wait for me to give birth but she was able to see my kids too.  Even though she already had senile dementia and could not really recognize people that are even close to her, she still knows and seek for my kids.  It's unfortunate that I was not there to bring her to her final destination.  I will surely miss her and all the things she has done for us.  I will always keep you in my heart, Apo.  Rest in peace +

A hard habit to break

I'm officially hooked to online shopping!
Living in Papua New Guinea, there isn't much here in terms of shopping.  In fact there's nothing here!
For the past few years, for us to get a decent piece of clothing, we had to buy our things whenever we go home to the Philippines.  From clothes, shoes, toys and the ever important underwear, we had to get from somewhere else.  So imagine my happiness when finally, I was able to order "the necessities" from the internet.  It opened a whole new world for us.  It made living in PNG more pleasant and comfortable.
Now, I'm thinking of making a business out of this compulsion.  I would love to be someone else's personal shopper.  Doing what I do best and getting paid for it?...Not bad at all.
