In October 2008, I went back to Baguio for a month to stay be with Nay and Tay during this painful ordeal. As time went on I began feeling [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well I finally got around to posting the photos from our recent trips. In February, on Valentine&#8217;s Day we went to the Wilhelma Zoo in downtown Stuttgart. We didn&#8217;t really plan on doing much for V-day so on a whim we went to the zoo. It was cold almost snowy day but we went anyway. [...]]]></description>

On February 13, 2009, Stephen and I went to the Mercedes-Benz Museum. We got up fairly early to catch the SBahn which dropped us [...]]]></description>
