  • No traffic on weekends, especially Sundays around the QMC just expect a lot of bikers on the biking lane. The walk was not that long for me since I stopped midway to have breakfast with my family :D Thanks, Ems

My sister was not able to go because she taught a student of her that day. May special one on one sila for a quiz, I believe.

Happy WS, teacher Julie! Have a great week ahead :)

  • Sayang, it would have been a great opportunity to see people supporting a cause gather together. Anyway, this is not the last and what your sister decided on is a worthy cause too. Thanks Sasha! :)

i am involved too in community service for autism related projects albeit in a small way

  • How wonderful, BB! The world needs people like you for if we do things in our own small way, and everybody else will do so too, our world will be better, so much better.  :)

i passed by Quezon Memorial Circle on my way to Mom’s, parang I didn’t notice the event.

Love the first shot, and the shirt is cool!

  • The event started around or before 6am and culminated past 11am. Plus we stayed on the Liwasang Aurora area, the concrete part in the middle of the park kaya hindi masyado kita sa labas. Thanks for the visit :)

That’s a wonderful shot and great cause to be involved in.

  • Thanks Carver. I guess its time that people are more aware of this condition plus the other special needs category to be able to understand people better. :)

Autism is a very important problem to work on in special ed. Great photos, Julie!

  • Yes, it is, Mary, very challenging too. Thanks :)

Thanks for visiting me.

I admire that you took part in such a significant activity. I like the message printed on the shirt

  • Thanks, Rachel. The whole family went, bringing along two bikes, one for hubby and one for Trixie. The message is good di ba? Work of the owner of the center :)

  • Naku, if you only knew, was just there for a photo/blog post opp, joke :D Seriously, we have to let people know about this condition plus the other special needs categories since a lot are being diagnosed already. Thanks for the visit, GBex.

Hi T. Julie!

I was just browsing through news about this year’s Autism Walk and I decided to check your site. I was also there that time because I watched my students performed. We’ve been practicing hard for their performances and I’m so proud they did well. :)
