I have a little garden: slightly bigger than the forehead of a cat. I grow herbs: parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, and mint, and lemon grass, and lavender, and basil. Occasionally, I cook for myself. Sometimes, my Japanese wife and my daughter like my cooking.

I come from the Philippines – it is said that there are more than seven thousand islands but I do not own one. I’d love to, though.

I always carry a camera with me – in my walks, journeys, and wanderings.

Most of the time, I’m home – staring at Fujisan and writing something.
