Ingming Aberia is a living thing

He has planted quite a number of trees. He has written a book. And he at least tried to procreate.

But one needs to carry on -- because there are promises to keep, and miles to go, before he sleeps, to borrow Robert Frost's lines.

Still, it is mostly about Kion!

Over 71 years of combined fun, artistry, and the thrill of discovery between Grampa and Grandkid.

Two generations, one bond: stories and art that inspire.

Together, they represent two generations bound by family, imagination, and the belief that creativity can make the world a kinder, more beautiful place.

Aparcero

Ingming Aberia dabbles in a few hobby-inspired trades and crafts, including farming, woodworking, and livestock raising. It is not only about being crafty and pigheaded, it also justifies the DNA that descended from Lolo Kagarting (mother side) and Lolo Patricio (father side), both of whom were relentless in trying to discover new ways of doing things. It's not all work, however. He unwinds by playing the royal game of chess.

Ingming Aberia blog joins the dreamers and doers who plant the seeds of hope for a better world. It lobbies for social leveling and respect for human rights, promoting each person's God-given dignity and birthrights.

It does not intend to offend anyone, but where there is inequity, it shall seek a position where it can inspire people to shake up the status quo.
