Super summer










































































“Super summer”

Sun.Star Davao, April 9, 2011

One of the special things that make writing worthwhile is when I receive messages of appreciation from my readers.

Every time I would come up with my Davao City Kiddie Summer Workshop list, parents would text, write or come up to me to say thanks for making their quest to choose the perfect summer activity much easier.


As promised, here’s the second part of my list. Have a super summer!
