I am happier this way.

oh life how you want to bring me down.
to beat me up, to haul me down.
to keep me at your level.
I am not made for this earth, only made of it.
and where I go, you cannot.
so while I'm here, have your way.
for it won't be long till I'll be lifted up
in his grasp, rid of you evermore.

Rest in peace Draco, I am sure you are in a better place. But just so you know, your memories will live on in my heart. I often remember you sleeping in front of my door in the Philippines, and me tripping over you in the morning. You always came for walks with me down the runway, you were such a friendly and loyal dog. I will miss you. Even from ( Read more... )

I am back, but tired..will share all in the morning...or later on this morning to be precise.

Today we went island hopping. It was so awesome, so much fun. We started out at the dive shop, getting our gear together. We were aiming at getting 3 dives in and some snorkeling, while boating from island to island.

I am fnding myself able to have more time in the morning. On Tuesday we had a very eventful day. We took a long drive out of Cebu to an area called Moalboal, it's supposed to be famous for ( Read more... )

Today we had a errand and chore day. Tracy had to get her teeth cleaned, and fill out some paperwork for the overseas workers. I tagged along with her parents for a good part of it. We had pizza hut at the shopping centre, ok so I lied about the last north american meal in my last entry. We bought fresh fruit and came home. We sat outside in the ( Read more... )

We left for Hong Kong from Toronto at 10 at night on the 17th, after a 20 hour flight with high turbulence around Alaska we touched down for a long day. My butt was so sore from sitting in that plane. The Hong Kong airport is very nice and very well laid out, you rarely see congestion even though it's always busy. After much wandering around we ( Read more... )
