lots of love here

Celebrating the birthday of our beloved shooting star - Peque Gallaga. 

This photo of Peque working behind the scenes by that giant kawa could likely be the inspiration to naming Mahala Dewdrop Kawali while she was in my belly.

Peque meant a lot to so many of us, touching our lives in big and small ways as teacher, mentor, friend, marking personal breakthroughs and highlights and enhancing our own outlook in life. 

Happy Birthday, El Pogi!

For wonder | wander | women, we are eternally grateful and abjectly appreciative to have been accepted and adopted into the whole Peque Gallaga clan for many happy years. 

As Peque's mass comm student we parked in their home every semester - working on our various school projects while fed and cared for by his wife Madie, their whole production and household staff, and all five children. 

with our production gang -  eight months pregnant

When I was pregnant with Mahala, Peque was in Manila mostly and I spent my weekends as Madie's roomie. Two pregnant women spending her last and my first trimester together.

Holed up in bed, munching on home baked and junk food cravings as we vegged on our fave videos. Plotting our conquest of the world was a large part of the agenda too. 

Great times that continue to sustain us with lovely memories as we hold our beloved mumo eternally in our hearts.

dakilang mumo always

No words for the loss of our sweet giant, Peque. Beloved hero, mentor, lifelong friend and co-heart to us and boundless others.


After a slow decline in a flash he took his leave. Exit stage center from our lives. He was our beacon of light, love and laughter.

We were forever changed when he entered our lives. We are eternally enriched by his presence. Shine bright always our true North Star.


May we walk in Beauty in a sacred way
May we walk in Beauty each and every day.
May we walk in Beauty in a sacred way
May we walk in Beauty each and every day.
May the Beauty of the Fire, lift our spirit higher,
May the Beauty of the Earth, fill our heart with mirth,
May the Beauty of the Rain, wash away our pain,
May the beauty of the Sky teach our mind to fly.

paying tribute to Jess Aiko [not Ayco]

In today’s blog we pay tribute to Jess Aiko [not Ayco] and his art - highlighted in “Fugue Frolic: A Retrospective of Filipino Modernist, Jess Ayco” at the Balay ni Tana Dicang in Talisay City, Negros Occidental. Forming a central part of the VIVA ExCon's 13th biennale, the exhibit ran from November through January. 


Late as this post is wonder | wander | world wishes to recall this stellar Renaissance man and acknowledge his all encompassing artistry - former resident artist of our hometown Bacolod in Negros Occidental [Philippines].
