WEEK 11

MARCH 11, 2009
today i realized how diffucult it must be to grow old alone. we saw this old lady lying on the sidewalk, her head bleeding. i wondered what happened to her. good thing help arrived right away.
i see lots of old people here walking alone with their cane in one hand and their caddy in the other. walking slowly crossing streets finding their way to the grocery store. i even saw a lady one time with her oxygen tank with her while doing grocery. i mean i hope they have a child looking after them or just a care giver or...just somebody.
anyway...im just so grateful someone helped this old lady right away.

it has been raining the whole day... though it doesn't rain really hard in paris, it is still difficult to go out in this kind of weather. as my dh and kids cross the street, i took a picture of them....walking under the rain.

early morning i went to meet some doctors from manila. dr. aquino is my dad's pulmunologist and dr. padlan was the one who operated on my wounded foot. i really wanted to invite them over for dinner...but their schedule was so tight. so i just decided to meet them at their hotel (which is not that far from our house) and spend some time with them. on my way back i missed the bus so i just walked home. it was a bit far but it was a nice walk home. and as i was crossing pont mirabeau, i took some pictures of eiffel tower and our apartment.

that scrap about the old lady is depressing. that's just sad. i hope that her family (if she has any) will atleast attend to her at the hospital. march 10, the rain, i think that's gloomy. nice shot of the 3 of them though. hehe. somehow i can never imagine paris to be gloomy. i mean look at that shot of the tower and the bridge. it looks like its meant for a postcard heheh. :)
