		<title>For the love of storytelling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The storytelling gift is innate: one has it or one doesn&#8217;t. But style is at least partly a learned thing: one refines it by looking and listening and reading and practice &#8211; by work.&#8221; - Donna Tartt

We made it! Angel and I attended the Facilitator in Training workshop conducted by the Center for Digital Storytelling at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one.&#8221; ~Stella Adler
I felt so nourished to have attended for the first time Via Affirmativa (at Glen Eyrie, Colorado Springs) &#8211; a gathering of artists from various places.;-) One of the performances the other night was &#8212; tango!   Yay! [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Took a train from Portland to Seattle. Met a nice fellow train traveller. My name reminded him of a song, he said.   So here it goes. Thank you, Jonathan, for the song, and so far, for the friends and places that left a big smile on my heart. Forever grateful! Cheers!

		<title>All My Loving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the Live Music Capital of the World &#8211; Austin!   Early this month, I had the chance to walk around downtown Austin on my own. I went to 6th Street, probably its most famous street that has over a hundred venues that stage live music every night. Went to a couple of them! [...]]]></description>

		<title>Letting go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On my way to Seattle from Portland, I had a good chat with a fellow train traveler. Talked about work, life, culture, history, etc. After some silence, he pulled a paper from his bag and showed me a poem given to him by a friend &#8211; &#8216;Letting Go Takes Love&#8217;. I took notice of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mt Multnomah Falls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Miriam took me to Multnomah Falls today &#8211; the tallest waterfall in Oregon.;-) It was a cool day, but with sunshine. I heard an old lady explored in joy, &#8220;Oh, sun! Sun! I am so glad to have the sun shining today!&#8221;  
I walked all the way up to the bridge. It was [...]]]></description>

I went to see a long time friend Miriam and her family in Portland. I had no idea of the big surprise that awaited me.;-)

		<title>Mt Hood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just about a day after I arrived in San Francisco, I left for Portland to see a friend. I was sleepy on the plane, confused with time, tired yet excited at the same time.   Just few minutes before landing, I was suddenly wide-eyed. From my window, I saw a snow-covered mountain &#8211; the [...]]]></description>

		<title>A sea of wonder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was in Singapore for only about 24 hours from my trip to the Philippines. Yesterday, on Day 12, my colleague Angel and I took off for San Francisco. It was an 18-hour-and-50-min flight. Flew 8,441 miles.   I was lost in transition.;-) I didn&#8217;t care. I just marveled at the sight of the sky.  The thrill [...]]]></description>
