Note to self: about my ‘therapist’…
August 25th, 2009 Iris “We make the fatal assumption that we are ok in what we are doing and in our priorities. all we lack is adequate resources… the place of solitude not a private therapeutic place. It is the place of conversion.” – Dare to Journey, Henri Nouwen i used to think God was my personal therapist and [...]

August 24th, 2009 Iris reposting a call for help, from a friend, Shiela Catilo’s site, Moms For Moms: — shot April 2, 2009 photos by Jorem and Sheila Catilo I’ve always loved photographing children.

Ikea heaven in QC, almost
August 23rd, 2009 Iris it’s no Ikea, but it’ll do Dexterton Corporation (for such a cool portfolio they could’ve thought of a more apt name), the Philippine version of Ikea i think. there’s one in Greenbelt and one in QC. nevertheless, any store with interesting stuff in it is still worth loving (and checking out).

Palawan, part 2

Simple [i vs p]
August 7th, 2009 Iris i was too dazed to notice that i posted a photo for a different theme from P’s. haay. so here it is, (sorry P!) my Simple entry. we adults always say, ‘if only i were a kid again, life would be much simpler.’ i’m afraid i’d be guilty of saying that. it’s sad how sometimes [...]
