I needed to see Jimmy on a very important matter while in Cebu a few days back; while I was at his place his beautiful little daughter they call 'Baby' came out to see me & study me while I had the camera.

...she never said a word to me, she just looked, and smiled, and turned to listen to others talking, and went about studying me, and I got some very beautiful shots of JherLyn, Jimmy's wonderfull daughter.

Jimmy's quite poor, and is struggling very hard to support his wife & 3 children - but he always smiles & never ever complains; when I showed up he gave me the best of what he had - no food to eat, but a solid wood table and chair to sit & chat with him - all made by his hand.

I bought some food for us and loaded his phone so he could text me when I got back to the Island, but I really hope he can find some work - he does excellent carpentry.

Thanks for reading today,
