Lifeline

I grew up with my Lola Bette, my maternal grandmother. I lived with her until I graduated from high school. I am the little girl in the middle. The young lady is my Tita Ulding. She was a biology teacher. I went with her to collect specimens - starting from her college years until she started teaching high school. I looked forward to those outings every year. I have a very big extended family. It is part of Filipino tradition. In the photo are my Lola Dada and Lola Conching.



Sunrise!!! To this day, I love sunrise and sunset.



When I was a child, I spent a lot of time walking along the water on this beach - Catmon, Cebu, Philippines. I played "Chase the Waves" a lot! Swimming is a favorite activity to this day.
