We just came back from Manila and the title says it all.

We went to Manila because it was my grandmother’s 85th birthday. We couldn’t let it pass because 1) not everybody gets to have the chance to reach 85 and 2) she is our only living grandparent. As usual, the heat was horrible and the traffic was bad, but tolerable.

The food was worth it though. I got the chance to taste my aunt’s kaldereta and CCME’s lengua again so it was all good.

However, when we were about to sing happy birthday to our grandmother, I couldn’t take any pictures. The lens won’t focus so it won’t click. I then noticed that the lens were askew ~ perfect bad timing. I really don’t know what happened because it was in my Crumpler bag all the time so maybe when Matthew was carrying it, it fell down? I really don’t know. For now, I hope it’s fixable. I’m trying to be cute so Edil will let my buy the 50mm 1.4 lens (that’s the cheapest I can buy). So there, no pictures.

Kainez. I wanted to get as many pictures of Lola because we will never know up until when she will still be with us. Her birthday last year was also wiped out when my EHD fell down. I don’t have March pictures last year.
