Ailene's Field Notes

The notes of a saunterer in Manila, the music she hears, some photographs (because they're automatically worth a thousand words she doesn't have to type), overheard conversations, and infinite moments compiled. The more formal, edited thoughts are all in http://www.theailene.co.

    Me:
    So kaninong 40 days na po 'to? (My great-aunt and great-uncle died within a month of each other.)
    My grandmother:
    Pareho na. Kasi si Auntie mo 47th day na. Si Uncle mo 33rd. 47 + 33 equals 80, divided by 2, 40. Kaya pareho na.
