What better way to start the month with the purchase of my very first camcorder. It's a Sony DCR-HC28 Mini DV Handycam Camcorder which was worth around $250 over at Best Buy, which is where me and my sister bought it (we split the bill).

Today also marks the 100th birth anniversary of my paternal grandfather Remigio Jacob Llaguno. Known to the people he admired as "Lolo Mio" and "Daddy Mio", he died 3 days after I was born, hence I was named Patrick Mio Llaguno in his honor (Patrick was after a brand of cologne). So yesterday was also the 20th anniversary of his death, 3 days after I turned 20.
