You light up my life

by Jody Alarva // December 15, 2020 // No Comments
I have been wanting to get one of these since we saw them more than 5 years ago. Thank goodness for small favors (and the randomness of shopee) that we’re now able to have this on the car, it feels... Continue reading →

Dear Nanay, It looks like we’re going to miss All Saint’s weekend and your second death anniversary prayer/food gathering with the family. And Christmas. This is going to be my first Christmas without the rest of the family, as we’re... Continue reading →

525,600 minutes later

by Jody Alarva // April 12, 2019 // No Comments

Hello, summer

by Jody Alarva // March 15, 2019 // No Comments
It’s been a rocky few days for Metro Manila. A water shortage has crippled thousands and has made the heat that has come in even more difficult. It’s hard to be thankful for beautiful things when you feel grimy and... Continue reading →

Hit like a frying pan

by Jody Alarva // January 13, 2019 // No Comments
