After months of enduring long commutes (40 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes, tops, longer in the afternoon) from my old place in Sampaloc to my office in Ortigas, I decided to move into another room/apartment/condo, preferably just a stone’s throw away from my workplace.

Moving House

We have just moved house to 7 Cromarty Close. The patron saint of moving house is St. Anne (first century). She was the Mother of Our Lady.
