Claire Madarang For the so many things I'm grateful for this weekend that are just so many to mention one by one here, but some highlights - 1) for a successful Dialogue Mindanaw (seminar and focus groups for inputs on the peace talks between the Philippines and MILF), 2) for doing quite well and keeping my cool in my work for the dialogue, 3) new friends and their very interesting stories, 4) fragrant and refreshing tea from jasmine which literally bloomed in front of our eyes 5) coco sugar, a yummy and healthier alternative to usual sugar.
