Three more days to go before Valentines Day. The clock is ticking and I still don't have a date.

Iloilo, my mother's home town. I went there over the weekend with my older brother, his wife and family, and my younger sister. We took time out to visit our ailing grandmother, who has colon cancer. We had to drive for 5 hours, ride a 1-hour ferry trip and take the jeep bound for Cabatuan. We had a family reunion of sorts upon our arrival. We settled down for a nap, had dinner then went to the hospital to visit Nanay Bada, that's my grandma's name. It was a somber time as we saw that she's very sick and we realized that it won't be long until she'll pass away. We spent 2 nights in Cabatuan and left for home afterwards.
