Weekly Photo Challenge: Lunchtime
Can I just say how much I LOVE this theme? Because seriously. FOOD! I love food! Our family’s life literally revolves around food.

This is the first time I’ve ever done this. Hah! It was a challenge to try to summarize an entire year in just a bunch of photos but I think I got it right. Lots of challenges but lots of fun too.
My long absence and Christmas Eve on the island
My long absence from this blog is due to my graduate thesis. It’s all my thesis’ fault! I took 2.5 months off work so that I could work on it full-time in Manila. Unfortunately, those 2.5 months were not enough as my adviser had me do more analysis work to get the results we wanted....
