to remember last year's tragic floods from Ondoy, i've planted a teak tree in the UP campus today. i'll be taking care of it and making it grow, so it can be my constant sign of hope for this earth.
i am totally inspired by this b&b and restaurant in merindol - a very small, off the radar town in the provence. both places are owned and run by this beautiful young french couple, who live in the french countryside most of the year, and travel to asia in the winter. looove it.
