WOW! It is now 2024. I can't believe how time had passed so fast and furious! I have missed to write a big number of events, occasions, and happenings around me, my family, friends and special people who had inspired me all the way through.
Good news is I had published two books in the past two years. First, WORDS SPEAK WISDOM published by Christian Faith Publishing, May 2022, Meadville, PA, USA and the second one is BOOST ME UP: Walk in Faith with God's Words published by AMZ Publishing Master, January 10, 2024, Victorville, CA.
Prior to this publications, on July 2022, Ohmar, my eldest child and his family immigrated to the USA after 21 years of waiting. YES, I petitioned the whole family in 2001 after I became a US citizen. One and a half year had passed, and today the family is building grounds in the USA, particulary in Boulder City, NV. My son, Ohmar got a job with Veterans Affair Senior Facility based in Boulder City while his wife Portia got employed with the Golf Club in Boulder City. The oldest son, Oliver was accepted with the US Army stationed in Texas. He is being trained as a Nurse at this time and going on his second year as such. The youngest daughter, Priya was assigned outside the US and providing training to new enlisted men and women with the US Army, too. She is pursuing a college degree in Psychology while with the US Army. The second son, Oscar had just graduated in Ateneo and De La Salle University with a degree in BS in Psychology. He is coming back to the US this month of January 2024 to pursue an MA degree in Psychiatry.
All of them are such in a blessed situation, I just can't express my thanks and gratitude to our Almighty Father. YES, all of this events took place because of my FAITH in God and the family's sincere intention of becoiming great children of GOD. THANK YOU, LORD!
Meantime, my other children had accomplished much, too. My second child, Owen is now in Munich, Germany, reunited with his wife Ching. Right now, he is starting to look for a job to help his family particularly his children who are still in the Philipines living with their mother. Kate, who's Katrina, has finished college from St. Louis University in the Philippines with a degree in Radiology Technology and is now working in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Republic. His second child, Kryssa is in second year college taking up BS Pharmacy in the same university in Baguio City, Philippines. His third child, Karl is still in Third year High School in Ilocos Sur where he resides with his mother. He stopped school for reasons we do not know, somehow, lost interest. What I heard and learned from his sister Kryssa is, he is studying and getting trained as a Chef in a nearby technological training school.Whatever happen to the plight of these children, we leave it up onto the Lord. The Lord is our Shepherd. Who shall not want?
My third son, Ohrlan Oneill and his wife Myra Picache with their three children are based in Las Vegas. The family owns a house in Providence, NW of Las Vegas where I temporarily live, too. I live in this house since July 3, 2023 with my live-in significant other Roger Douglas. The children are all adults, John who is the eldest had been employed in a pharmaceutical firm, Anaceo Pharm. The second child, Nicole recently graduated from UNLV with a degree in BS Economics and is partially working as an associate in a big department store in Summerlin, Las Vegas. Hannah, the youngest is pursuing a college degree towards Nursing in a community college and partially working with the Cold Ice Cream Shoppe in NW Las Vegas. So, everyone is busy with their own lives, all employed and studying, living their American Dream. From time to time, the family travel around the USA and other countries like Mexico, Canada, Philippines, Europe and many parts of the USA.
My fourth son, Ohskar Obrien and wife Johanne, lives in Las Vegas, too. They also live in their own house in Alexander, Las Vegas, NV. The three children are adults, too. Jelo, who is the oldest is training as a Flight Attendant soon in February 2024. Jelay who finished a vocational course is into online selling joining Mom and Dad. Justin who is still going to the university pursuing to finish a college degree. Meantime, the whole family is engaged in Online Selling as their means of livelihood. At the moment, everyone loves what they do. They seem to enjoy the online selling, attracting a big number of customers all around the world. From time to time, the family travels in different countries as they see fit. They moved around from the USA to Canada, Mexico, Carribean, Europe and other parts of the USA, putting business and pleasure together.
My fifth child, Marju, or Marie, my only daughter is happily married to her high school sweetheart, Ryan Anderson of Esko, Minnesota, USA. They live in a 9-acre land, which they consider their playground, in a semi-concrete country home in Esko. They have two children, Ava (13 years old), and Aiden (11 years old) who attend school in Esko. Both kids are very warm, loving, respectful and responsible children. The family is well in all aspects of their lives. I am thankful and grateful to our Heavenly Father for this blessing. Thank you, Lord!
I have to tell you more about my life next time. Please stay tune.
God bless you all, my family & friends. Till next reading. Minerva MP Honkala
