He's been very supportive of us all his 7 children. But now, at 86, he has changed. Madalas na wala na siyang imik. Sometimes, I take pity on him, because he seems to be oblivious of what's happening around him, unlike before when he would discuss news, issues and ideas with us. He used to be a voracious reader. But now, he has lost interest, maybe because of his age. Niceheart and Kathy:

I do visit your site often and being a mother myself, I feel I connect with some of your "motherly" entries there. Niceheart, thanks for dropping by.

Lo and behold! I was trying to figure out last night why your comments are being considered spam, then as I awoke this morning, I found your messages here. haha! I believe that is how it works with us when we have some problems - sleep them off and the next day, the solution is right before you. Thank you for your comments. Yes, I know your mother is 88. I have read all your entries! I have lurked on your site for three straight days, didn't stop till I have read everything. LOL Salabat? I think I'll try that one. Thanks. These photos here have stories of their own. Most were taken by my son who is developing a passion in photography. Others were from my phone cam. Eric! Lo and behold!

BTW, my brother, a retired US sailor, sufered from vertigo for many years. The US Navy medical services were unable to provide him with effective cure. On his own, he discovered a cure -- SALABAT! Yes, the bottled ones available at all grocery stores in Metro Manila! Hi Rhodora,

Filipino folklore claims long ears signify a long life so your tatay has quite a long way to go still. My nanay is 88! What a lovely site you have! I'm glad you dropped me a note which made me discover your site. I'll be visiting often. BTW, my brother suffered from vertigo for many years. He was a retired US sailor yet, even the naval doctors were unable to find him an effective cure -- that is, until he did some research on his own and found the miracle cure himself -- SALABAT! Yup, the bottled ones available in most grocery stores here in Manila. Do you take the photos yourself? Happy New Year! Eric Hi Rhodora!
