Glory, Finally !

Glory Salvador with her be-dimpled smile !

Glory took up Nursing @ St. Lukes Hospital.  As a Pediatric Nurse, she travelled to the United States in 1974 and stayed on to nurse in Little Rock, Arkansas. Briefly in the 1990's, Glory had also travelled and worked in Saudi Arabia for 6 years. On her return, she settled back in Little Rock and is still a resident of that state.  Currently retired, she divides her time to visit with her two children and her grandchildren in the colder state of New York.

For those who remember very well the "antics" of Manny Sr in high school with a choice of just a 2x5 notebook and a broken pencil to write notes with (so they say), as well as to show off his befitting "macho" image to his barkada of old... Today, Manny enjoys the many blessings he had asked for in his children: an Accountant, a Nurse, a Doctor, an IT Consultant, a grand daughter and a triple load of blessings in the Reverend Father.

The Life of James

Life of James @ a glance based on excerpts from email exchange between Filipinas Florendo, Manny Natividad & James Laurico:

Hi, Abit! Am glad to hear from you again....and also glad to know I am not alone suffering from Osteo arthritis.... ha ha! Manny, pati sakak madi!!. Yes, I realize this disease is not curable. Would you have any suggestions on how to lessen the pain? Am now avoiding lots of foods which I find hard not to eat. Pork, beef, even chicken meat, and a lot of other foods I love, I now must not eat.

James - First Appearance on this blog
June 3, 2009

As to my 50 years, since we were classmates, I came here to Canada in1978. I experienced working in a factory and did odd jobs as well. I studied and later on became a Programmer here in Toronto and worked for several years in the 80's in the States...in New Jersey and in New York, as a contract Prog/Analyst of AT&T. I waited for sometime to retire and so, that is it here in Canada. I have never been back to the Phil since I left in 1978.

I have three kids, all doing well. My first, a daughter produces tv shows and she has here own company. My second, also a daughter is about to finish her doctorates degree, Ph. D. in Canadian Literature and we all expect her to be done this year. My youngest son is still in university taking up Aerospace Engineering.
