Return Trip to The Philippines

With beautifully defined golf courses and reunions in mind, Arnold, Ingrid and a bunch of friends are back in The Philippines.  Ingrid, attending her own Golden Jubilee @ St. Louis this year and Arnold embracing all the golf courses he can manage in places such as Las Piñas and at the Baguio Country Club.

A Visit to Toronto



Ka-asi met ta may-maysa na iddiay Toronto

With Amy on a Cape Horn Cruise and Aurora in California, walking up those hills, Gali scheduled a "cold" visit to Toronto.  Absence of good weather and company made it a lonely visit for this world traveller.  Kaasi met ta may-maysa na iddiay.... naka-smile pay latta ahh!!!  Napan pay isu iddiay Johnny Tomato (see Tower of Pizza icon @ the background), which is around my area in Scarborough.  My home is on the other side of the main street called "Steeles".

Hope Cynthia enjoyed herself better than he did, with James Laurico living in this area but unable to meet with Gali.

We hope to see Gali in Toronto when the summer's sunshine is abundant and his promise to attend our local BCHS Alumni picnic sometime in August, 2013.
