    Mamo & Dado @ 31

    My 100th Blogpost will be a special post for my very own parents. Let me share you some of my fond memories with them as a tribute to this 2 awesome people of my life. They got married on this day, 31st Jan – 31 years ago, that was 1985. They met in one of the department store where they used to work. As years goes by they had me on their first year and followed by my brother – Glendann (Dan-Dan or Don Pasio) in 1987. I believe it was their choice to only have the 2 of us. Two, I guess is a good number to raise children…

    Panghuling Dalawa

    Panghuling Dalawa (BOB/BOS Activity Reflection)    Sa buhay halos araw-araw may mga desisyon tayong ginagawa. Mula sa pagmulat ng ating mata hanggang sa pagtulog. Ngunit sa araw na ito hindi batid ng aking puso ang magaganap. Naiwan akong luhaan, habang nasa gitna ng sitwasyong kailangang pumili. Hawak-hawak ko ang maliliit na mga papel kung saan naka sulat roon ang mga tao, lugar, bagay, sitwasyon atbp. na kailangang bitawan. Ngayon nasa panghuling lebel na – kailangan bitawan lahat maliban lamang sa dalawang papel. Napuno ng inggay ang hall ng St. Paul, naririnig ko ang mga kapatid na ang ibay nahihirapang mag desisyon. Ang iba namay naka-ngiti na at silay nakapili na.…

  • UC-ESL Letters...

    Handwritten Epistles

    Handwritten Epistles   I had an opportunity to review and re-read the handwritten letters I used to receive during High School, College, UC & GEOS days… (When technology was not at its peak yet). No! They aren’t love letters; they were letters from people close to my heart. ❤ :)   One by one I look at the envelopes and identify right away who were these bunches of friends who somehow spent some of their precious time writing epistles for me! I was eager to jump from one letter to the other as my mind rushes to the moments when I received them and associate the stories to the shared encounter…

  • Welcome 2016 note

    Hello 2016!

    I am so back at work and all I say is Hello 2016! I left my whole being in the Philippines. A month long vacation with loads of adventures still lingers on my head.

My mind is still somewhere else, even upon writing this!   But let me keep this short, attached to this short note are my 30-31 December 2015 photos (with…
