IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS

YEAH, IT IS ALMOST CHRISTMAS! TONIGHT, I HAD COFFEE AFTER DINNER, AND THAT MUST BE THE REASON WHY I CAN'T SLEEP.... I TURNED ON THE CD IN MY ROOM AND STARTED TO LISTEN TO SOME CHRISTMAS SONGS AND HYMNS ... BY THIS TIME, ROGER IS FAST ASLEEP ... HMMMMM.... I HAVE TO BE VERY QUIET LOGGING TO MY BLOG ....

I THOUGHT ABOUT MY CHILDREN, MY FIVE PRECIOUS CHILDREN AND THEIR RESPECTIVE FAMILIES .. OHMAR, MY OLDEST SON MARRIED TO PORTIA, AND THEY HAVE 3 CHILDREN: SHAB, A FRESHMAN IN ATENEO DE MANILA UNIVERSITY, OKI, A 3RD GRADER IN DON BOSCO, MAKATI, AND PRIYA, THE ONLY GIRL AND THE YOUNGEST, PREP IN ASSUMPTION, MAKATI. MY SECOND SON, OWEN IS SINGLE NOW, BUT HAS THREE CHILDREN WITH EX-WIFE LUENE OF ILOCOS; THEIR CHILDREN NAMELY: KATRINA, FRESHMAN IN HS; KRISSA, FIRST GRADE; AND KARL WHO IS IN PREP. ALL CHILDREN ARE WITH THEIR MOTHER IN ILOCOS. MY THIRD SON, ONEILL IS MARRIED TO MYRA, A LICENSED DENTIST IN CALAPAN, OR. MINDORO WITH THEIR THREE CHILDREN NAMELY: JOHN, SIXTH GRADER; NICOLE, THIRD GRADER, AND HANNAH, PREP. ONEILL IS IN LAS VEGAS, MYRA AND THE KIDS ARE IN CALAPAN. IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER 2-3 YEARS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY TO BE TOGETHER HERE IN THE US. OHSKAR, THE YOUNGEST BOY IN THE FAMILY IS BASED IN PLACERVILLE, CA AND A FREE-LANCE COMPUTER WEB DESIGNER AND CLASSICAL GUITARIST. HE IS STILL SINGLE. MARJU, MY ONLY DAUGHTER AND THE YOUNGEST IN THE FAMILY IS BASED IN DULUTH, MN WITH HUSBAND RYAN ANDERSON, AND 3 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AVA ROSE.

ALL THE FAMILY MEMBERS ARE DOING FINE PRACTICING THEIR CHOSEN PROFESSIONS. I THANK GOD EVERYDAY FOR GIVING ME THE PRIVILEGE OF RAISING MY CHILDREN AND SEEING THE FRUITS OF MY LABOR. GOD IS GOOD! HE IS AWESOME!

THANKSGIVING WEEKEND 2010

Roger and I checked in at Tuscany Hotel in Las Vegas to spend the Thanksgiving weekend together. We were trying to catch up for the several months we had not been out due to our job loads.We had a great time listening and dancing to the music of Corro-Van Such, a three-men band at the PIAZZA LOUNGE at Tuscany. They were such a lively,talented, vibrant group of three middle-aged men who play saxophone, guitar, and drums.
