the dolphin hunt – bais version
this time, it did not feel like a hunt at all. whereas in bohol, the motors thundered as we were moving in search of the dolphins, it was a different approach altogether in Bais. The boat trudged along the calm waters, barely creating waves as it moved. we were told it would take an hour… Continue reading the dolphin hunt – bais version

core family …
our view of the core family has always been represented by that poignant scene in the manger, with Joseph and Mary looking over their newly born son Jesus. to put it into an equation: Father + Mother = Child(ren). a recent anecdote brought this concept to the fore and made me look at it really hard. a… Continue reading core family …
