Five years ago, we celebrated the union of two lives.
But the celebration continues to this day.
Happy Anniversary, Mommy!
Inigo and I are truly blessed to have you in our lives.

More photos on the weekly photo challenge here.
One of the main reasons why I went for vacation was to attend to my youngest brother’s wedding in the Philippines. My brother Jay, was marrying his co-high school teacher, Jasmine.
Being the eldest brother, I took my father’s place in the entourage. My mother wore the traditional Filipiniana gown, while I wore the traditional Barong Tagalog.
It was my son’s first time to be a ring bearer. He did very well. He also wore traditional Barong Tagalog.
The ceremony was very solemn.
Overall, the wedding was perfect.
Wishing the couple a lifetime of happiness together.
World peace is one my dreams. I always wish that someday, people will just set aside their differences and live in harmony forever. I know that it’s still possible.
Today, thousands of blogs, FB and twitter accounts from across the world will be showing off their peace globes to show support to the global peace movement dubbed “Blogblast for Peace”. Blogs will flag the title “Dona Nobis Pacem”, meaning “Grant Us Peace”. Check out founder Mimi Lenox’ site for the details. This is my 2011 contribution and support.
Peace be with all of you!

Today, my blog celebrates its birthday! It’s been 4 years! Happy blogiversary to Digital Catharsis!
Looking back, I am proud to say that my humble site have gone a long way. There were ups and downs, highs and lows. There were times I thought of giving up, but then this past year was quite challenging.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who dropped by, left some comments, clicked the “like” buttons, rated by using the stars, subscribed, reposted, featured my articles on their site, shared in FB, retweeted. What else can I say, but THANKS!!!! You guys rock my blogging world!
Cheers!!!!
So today is the day I promised to announce who the winner will be for our “Birthday Giveaway.” Isn’t it exciting???
Well, before I reveal who the winner is, allow me to thank all those who participated, especially those who really put their time and effort in collecting the points in order to win. I know how difficult it is to get through the different pages. Sometimes, I would take note of the time the first comment was placed, and the last time that same person commented. I would notice that some really spent hours on this site jumping from one article to the next. Thank you so much and I appreciate everything.
But of course, I know that the participant was looking forward to get the prize, and that was a motivating force 
Anyhow, I hope that you enjoyed reading my posts, and commenting at the same time. I am sure you got to know me more through my writing, and I wish this has started friendship amongst us. Thank you all for your time and I hope you guys comeback to visit – with or without prize.
It was really tough counting all the points and I have to get through all the sites submitted. I started counting when I was in Abu Dhabi some weeks back and finished here in the Philippines. It was a tedious process! Sorry that I have to disqualify some entries, like redundant reposts on the same blog site, redundant comments etc. I had to be fair with everybody, and to tell you frankly, I don’t know any of the participants personally. The blogger friends I know decided not to join.
So much of the talking now. I am sure you are all excited to know who’s our lucky participant. She’s the one who earned the most number of points. She’s none other than (drum roll, please…)
KAYCE!
Congratulations, Kayce! You did a very good job! Actually I did not count some of your double comments, but you still ended up as the highest scorer. Well done. You will be contacted shortly for your hundred dollar bucks!
And guess what… I decided to give TWO runners up a prize also. I found they did very well also and I couldn’t just ignore their efforts. And they made it very close to Kayce. So do you want to know who these two are? They are…
PEARL
and
KAT
Congratulations! You will also be receiving surprise gifts (but not hundred bucks anymore, ha!) and I will notify you shortly about it.

So that’s about it guys! Thank you all for joining. I’m typing as quickly as I can because it’s almost 2am here. As you all know, I’m on a vacation to the Philippines so I am quite busy going around. But I tried my best counting the points in between
Congratulations to the winners!
