hello. wow seeing all of you brings back a surge of memories - our mini-escapades and alang katapusang wentuhan :D m jealous in a way but at the same time, m genuinely happy to see all of you still in touch with each other. glad to know everyone is in good health and doing well.

sensya po - did not have any intention of hiding. e hindi po totoo na ako ay nasa isang maximum security prison. matagal na po akong nakalaya. :D after MRTC, several trainings from where i used to work (HP) and there, i got to be assigned to different projects in different provinces too. i event spent almost 2years in Mindanao, thats why sort of got out of the loop. gustuhin ko man pong sumali sa inyong mga gimmik ngayon e medyo i might have to ask Superman's help so i can fly there fast. :D i was fortunate to move here to the US (California) 12years ago. nasa IT pa rin po ang racket ko! :D i have a son, EJ and he is 15years old now and is a sophomore in a Christian school here in San Jose, CA. he is a consistent honor student and m a proud mom. yep, iisa lang po ang aking anak dahil isa lang po ang kaya kong buhayin. and me, got married also 8years ago, his name is Jacob and yeah, he is American, actually he is a mix breed (hehe) part German, Dutch, ek. we worked in the same company some 10years ago. i can see some eyes twitching - mahabang wento. i went back to the Philippines twice - both in 2007. first, for a 2-1/2 week vacation in January and then, around May, flew back back again because my Dad passed away.

my life here evolves around schedule. dalawa lang po kasi kami ng opismeyt ko na palitan ng oncall. and yep, get oncall 24/7. recently said opismeyt went on sabbatical for 1month, was oncall for 1month. well, i looked like a zombie after that. yeah, my work here is creepy crazy, but i have learned to live with it. when m not oncall, and i know i need a timeout, on a weekend, i drive along Highway-1 - thats the Costal side of California. kahit akong mag-isa lang. i do this before the feeling of chocking somebody overpowers my mental state. lol.

lots of changes and challenges that i've been through (still does) the years of living here. made lots of good and bad decisions, lots of lessons learned, some in a very painful way. but through it all - our God is faithful. i have a lot of gratitude. m truly blessed. i also gained new friends here too. some Pinoy friends. we still continue to gather and enjoy Pinoy foods specially pag may kainan. oh, where i used to live, was near Jollibee. so pag tamaritis magluto, tamang Jollibee or Chowking ang pagkain. here in our area, daming Pinoy kainan. every Sunday, after Church, my son and i would eat fishball, siopao, gulaman, lugaw, turon at kung ano-ano pa. tsalap. hehehe. Jacob eats Fiipino foods pero ayaw ng sinigang (abnormal talaga), dinuguan at anything with bagoong. pag kumain ako ng may bagoong, ayaw akong lapitan! was teasing him nga na umuwi na lang kami ng Pinas at mag-artista na lang siya para yumaman na kami e ayaw, suplado. kainis. di pa nga sikat, snobbish na!

Boss Ronald - congratulations on your moving to Edmonton. may madadalaw na pala ako dyan. lol. alam ko favorite mo ko nong araw - favorite mo kong sapakin sa sobrang kakulitan ko! lol.

Ms. Admin re: about ur Hermes dream. when we were in Waikiki (Oahu), we passed by through some high-end brand shops and there - the Hermes Store. we saw one wallet - a very small one - cost $10K lang naman. hahaha, we cannot stop laughing just thinking kung may bibili non. hehehehe. naloka ako sa presyo.

m really happy to see all of you. sige po pag ako po ay nakapag-bakasyong muli sa ating inang bayan, eh treat ko kayong lahat - dinner at may kasama pang kapeng barako.

ingat po kayong lahat and keep your faith alive!
muwahhhh...
