Places I've visited...

Places...places...places!!! Each and every one of us have a desire to go somewhere else that will make us happy...some do this to re-invigorate himself...to think...to meditate...to have some peace of mind...to visit old friends...to visit relatives. Some go there in their own...some with their friends and most especially with their family. I, being a Pisces is a nature lover, I want to explore and do some adventures. But sometimes the kind of job I have make it impossible to do what I want. So If I have enough time or if I can cope it I rather go to savour the new air I can inhale. Well, it is obvious that as of now I can't boast that I've been to another country. What I plan, as my budget can't make it is to first, see all the beautiful place here in the Philippines. I've been to Pagsanjan Falls, Lagos del Sol at Caliraya Lake, Abra, my wife hometown wherein I saw how they celebrate their fiesta and Semana Santa, some beaches in Ilocos Sur, at Vigan, I've already seen Mayon Volcano and the Church there, I can't recall its name, I've been to Tagaytay, the Tagaytay Highlands, Baguio, I climbed the Mount Makiling, I've visited Corregidor, Bataan and so many places. I also swimmed so many beaches here in the Philippines from Bicol, Batangas, Quezon, Bataan, Ilocos, etc. There's still so many places here that I wasn't able to see but I know someday I will...before I can say that residing in a strange land is more beautiful than living here in my own country.

Congratulations for my new Engineer!!!

Their names are Jech, OJ, and Gray. This photo was taken during the graduation of Gray when he graduated High School. Now Gray is in his 2nd year of college while his sis and brod had already finished their college days. I am proud to say that my PharJech is already a licensed pharmacist while my OJ recently passed the board exam for Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) which means he’s now an Engineer. I am very proud to have children like them. I have another kids named Vetvet and Botbot and I also took pride when Vetvet consistently making a good grades of her own. She’s still in nursery and she’s the first honor in her class while Botbot seem to be another genius in the making for our family.

Two in a row for Vetvet!!!

Congratulations to my daughter Vetvet for making it two in a row as the first honor of their class. Actually, it’s still not official that she’s the first in their class but their school is recognizing it every grading period. It was the second grading period and she garnered an average score of 94.62 from 93.25 during the first grading period. There is still two grading period left and I am positive that my Vetvet will take home the first honor. (He he he!!! I’m keeping my fingers cross). Anyway, again Congrats to my Vetvet.

Halloween!!!

Every year we celebrate Halloween...and trick or treat. We do this not to frighten the kids but to give them some foods and candies, to have fun. Look at this photo...the Dracula is not so scary but look dashingly handsome...and the girl whom suppose to be a witch looks very gourgeous and alluring.

Visiting my Mother

Every year here in our country we celebrate All Saint’s Day. It is always declared a holiday so every one of us can visit our departed relatives. The day is spent visiting the graves of deceased relatives, where they offer prayers, lay flowers, and light candles, often in a picnic-like atmosphere. Today we visited my mother at her graves at Calamba, Laguna where she laid. Me, my wife Marie and my kids Vetvet and Botbot, my brother Pholly light candles and offer flowers and prayer. I also checked my other children Jech and Gray if they already visited the grave of their mother and Lolo in Pampanga. My other son Ojey already visited her mother last week due to the reason that he will take his board exam this week. During this day we visit those special people who were a special part in our life…to let them know that even they are already gone we still remember and love them. To my grandparents, Lolo Apolonio, Lola Felisa, Lola Insay, my parents, Nestor and Sally, my parent-in-law, Graciano, my brother, Edwin, and my wife, Milet, may all of you find happiness and rest in peace.
