On the morning of my last day in the
family compound, I loaded up a roll of monochrome film and just walked
through the compound and out onto Rosas Street taking pictures.
Here are my monochrome memories of that morning..
Eric, mom and
Paquito have a light breakfast to prepare for the day.
I'll miss the
home cooking,
and those
conversations with Romi,
and the pleasant
disposition of.... dog. I never did get that name!
It was nice
having auntie's sari-sari store so close when you just needed a Coke!
I am surely
going to miss Rosas Street,
and roaming the
country side in Paquito's Jeepney,
and spending
time with family and friends.
But the one
thing I will miss most of all is the gentle touch and sweet smell of
Jennifer.
