John Michael is now 14 years old!
He did the traditional lighting of his birthday candles.
And smiles after all the candles were blown out.
He sliced his share of birthday cake and . . . . .
posed candidly for a souvenir birthday photo.
My dad, Augusto Cembrano joined his Creator early evening today due to complications caused by Alzheimer's. May his soul rest in peace.
Grades 10 and11 students in the Catholic school where I work as a teacher put up an art exhibit, the theme of which is Impressions of the Big Flood. I took some photos of the ones I found meaningful in the context of the effects of the month long flood in the lives of the people living here in Bangkok. Cheers to all students who participated in the exhibit.
My son took a look at some of the entries to the art exhibit.
He later moved on to the administration building where photos of the school during the flood crisis were on display. We supported the school by buying raffle tickets and flood souvenir T-shirts to help finance the repair of the damaged buildings.
The model of the school was on display during the exhibit.
The sky is so blue, not a cloud to be seen. 
At my faculty office with my favorite red teddy bear.
Above was my lunch, I had ham fried rice, sushi, pizza, KFC chicken and a delicious desert made of blueberry and nuts.
The grade 8 classroom with the students lunch table.
For students' exchange gifts. 
Wishing you all, happiness, health, prosperity,peace and blessings in the year 2012 !
We attended the New Years' Day mass at Assumption Cathedral and we saw this beautiful nativity scene on the left side of the altar.
The baby Jesus on His crib.
After mass, we proceeded to the Mall Bangkae for New Years' Day dinner. Glowing reindeers are a sight to behold.
And this giant Christmas tree as well !
