    ah, this is inspiring toni! i think this will be my first post in my blog that needs serious updating :) thank you!
    it is indeed a long list and seems like there’s a lot more of things to do in life, but im pretty sure you’ve done some more amazing things and more impressive than what’s on the list.

    so.. why don’t you start a filipino version – that would be cool to see.

    thanks!

    Leah: I’ve talked with some friends who were planning on taking their own lives! While I can’t take credit for saving them, I’d like to think I played a part in helping them realize what they’re doing. Dramatic ang mga buhay namin, haha.

    Eye: Was featured on Blog-O-Rama by dear Ajay. And yun costume contest, it was a college org party. Hawaiian ata yun theme. I just wore a bright blue 60s-style dress with big yellow and red flower prints. Very summery. Panalo!
