1. Taking Care of Calvin: He discovered this morning that he indeed left his rain jacket on the Autobus last night (or this morning rather) that we took back from Banaue. Coupled with the loss of his point and shoot, we concluded that when Calvin is sleepy, he leaves...

Before I begin, thanks to Nilam Patel, I was unaware that the pictures in the last entry only linked to its own thumbnail instead of the full size. That problem has now been fixed. So check out my favorite pictures such as: BADASS GIRL and CHILDREN. I also uploaded a...
