Happy Father's Day, Pa.

9 months for a new life to come into this world. 9 months ago, a life was taken away from this world. Tomorrow is the first Father's Day we're observing without Pa. But in our hearts, he's still alive. Just off on an extended trip to the Big Land Farm supermarket.


One of my fave pictures. :-)


Getting my graduation from junior kindergarten certificate. Pa valued education more than anything.


At the suspension bridge in Vancouver, BC, in April 1989. En route from the Philippines to our new life in Toronto, Canada. Did I look queer or what?


The chain was a phase, let's leave it at that.


I was really pissed off when we took this photo, but it's one of the nicer family photos we have. LOL.


His surprise 85th birthday in 2007. I wish he could've lived till we threw him a big 90th birthday party.

no, you didn't look queer just perky in your big sunglasses!

We should do a nice surprise party for Mama for her birthday in January. We can do it again in my condo room if you'd like - or yours.

You should see my baby/young kid pics. I loved to ham it up for the camera. :-) LOL.

I miss my blue contacts. I'm thinking of getting gray/hazel contacts.
