CHRISTMAS W/ THE SALAS FAMILY

GETTING BACK TO A “NORMAL” LIFE
So it’s been over four months since my last surgery and I can say that I’m back to my normal daily routine. Needless to say, if it wasn’t for the scar and the memory, I would think nothing much has happened the last few months. The reality is: this experience has changed my perception of [...]
OH FRASER TREE

FLYING PUMPKINS TURNS INTO THE DARK KNIGHT
October is definitely one of my favorites month! There's just so much things to do and it's also my mom's birth month (she's a Halloween baby). Every year we always go to a pumpkin patch and try to pick out the best looking pumpkins. There's just hundred to choose from! This is my first time [...]
THE LATEST SCOOP
My mom left Seattle last week and she’ll be staying with my sister's family in New Mexico. She’ll probably be there for a few months and then return home to Guam. I’m glad that she’ll be nearby just in case anything unexpected were to happen to me. I’m back at work, but part-time for now. [...]
