Sheng, Lola, Odette: I did my best put into words everything that I felt. From your replies, I guess I was successful in making you feel the way I felt.

WitsAndNuts: Ah yes. The tweet that I sent that night was worth every cent I paid for the internet GPRS connection!

Blogusvox: Would be nice to hear *your* story.

HiLola: Don’t freak out now…but ‘Lola’ in the Philippines means ‘grandmother’ hehe. The other Lola is my mother. I’m Mama to the kids; she’s Lola to them.

That sunset photo is not so sharp because (i) it’s cropped from a larger photo, (ii) I shot it while walking, and (iii) I was using a Nikon Coolpix point-and-shoot camera. So I had to tweak it a bit with Photoshop to make the sun’s rays more prominent. And I had to post a smaller version so that the graininess won’t show hehe.
