Dancing with Grace

How I wish I could dance! But I do love to watch people gracefully dancing. It is even more delightful to watch graceful and well-dressed dancers.

Truck Accessories

As my father is in the construction business, there was a time when he owned a number of trucks. These trucks were parked behind our house and they would pass by my bedroom window and emit foul-smelling engine smells. I didn’t need an alarm clock to wake up early for school.

No announcement and no mention about the One Philippines Festival. Instead, an announcement titled “Street Festivals to Highlight Philippine Festivities in [...]
