Staying In

Life has been moving way too fast these days. The only thing keeping me in is being sick. The only thing bringing me to this page is sadness..

Any minute now, my family in the Philippines will begin my Uncle Eddie's funeral services. Even as life continues here, there has not been a day since I found out of his accident that I have not thought of my sweet uncle, my auntie, my cousins and his grand kids. He was kind, caring, and made every situation better with his light-heartedness. I knew that he was a special part of my life, but due to the distance all these years, I didn't expect to be this affected by his loss. But I am. And I love my cousins so. They were my best friends while I was growing up in the Philippines. I can't even begin to imagine how they must feel. 

We lost my uncle on June 25 at 52 years old. He left us too soon. This is yet another reminder of how fragile and short life is. I hope there really is something bigger and better after this life, because it all just doesn't make sense. 

We'll miss you Uncle Eddie.

Spring Training

My little family went on vacation this past weekend. Nacho visited his friends at Petsmart and Niner and I went to our third Spring Training in Phoenix. Our first game on Saturday was against the Indians at Goodyear Ballpark. There was a lot of action near the end when the Indians caught up and tied the game. There was a Mister Softee soft serve truck and Niner tried a Guinness Blondie at the beer cart. That is a nice ballpark and we had a cute time. I even got Ethier's autograph on our Cactus League ball.    We had time for a nice hike and dinner after the game. Niner introduced me to Native American fry bread which was delicious. Sunday we started off with a nice brunch at Province downtown. The game was at the Dodgers' (and white Sox) Camelback Ranch. It was a hot, sunny day, but fun nevertheless. It was lovely to get away for the weekend and we did so much! Can't wait for baseball season to start! We got a mini season plan t...

Connecticut!

It's been awhile! We moved to Connecticut so Niner can go to grad school! We've been here for almost 2 months.  So far it's snowed on us four times. Those Nor-Easters were apparently bad this year and lasted until March and April which is not typical. Now it's just raining a lot. We went to one hike at a cool park just down the street from our tiny apartment. There are cherry blossoms everywhere and we found a cute park in New Haven where they were especially abundant. Of course my allergies are acting up. We went to Montreal last week for 3 days which I hope to post about soon. Nacho has been sick since our trip and his stay at the pet hotel. We're in the process of nursing him and his sensitive belly back to normal.  So far it's been different. Mostly we've been applying for jobs. Not much luck yet. As Niner put it, they don't know how awesome we are. The lady who approved us for our apartment at least thought we were great enough to give us a un...
