Email from across the world

I forwarded your email addresses here at work, para pag may quick updates , I can see it straight away. But do cc my email at home.I’m excited about the reunion we are planning. Remember nasa other side of the world ako, near the South Pole, kaya pag winter diyan sa inyo, summer naman dito.We want to escape the winter months here (June-Aug) next year kaya yan ang panahon na plano naming mag Europe, when it is summer over there.Kung next year pa tayo mag reunion, the rest of us will have plenty of time to sort out our schedules, whereas if this year we are short of time.But who knows if I see a cheap airfare, I could negotiate with my husband na ako lang ang lumipad this year. He knows how I excited I am, kasi nakikibasa siya sa emails natin. I work out natin, now that we know at least 2 of us wont be able to make it up until September this year , at least.Pag uwi ko sa bahay i-forward ko sa iyo Baby yung article about Emma . (Emma do you remember that article? baka pati ikaw nalimutan mo na yon ha )
Hello, Emma !! Where are you ? Pahinga ka muna from work.Ang lagi naming iniisip na mag asawa, ang tao pag nagkasakit, or worse pag namatay madaling palitan ng employer, but his/her family could never replace that person. Keep those photos coming !!Love,Belle

Hello Belle.Nasa work ka na? Ilang oras nga ba ang time difference natin? Sige, if we could plan for this year, let’s go. I just talked with my boss… paawa kunyari. I have 10 weeks of vacation that I could not use because of my work load. Sabi niya, she’ll see what she could do. Kung one week lang, maisisingit siguro iyon. Siya ang gagawa ng trabaho ko…huwag lang matapat sa busy days ko, okay sa kanya iyon. I noticed naging Maria din pala pangalan mo. Dito rin maraming ganyan. Iyong mga Ma. Lourdes, Ma. Rosario, etc. nada-drop and second name at natitira lang ay ang Maria. Ang nangyari tuloy, every other Filipino is named Maria.
Okay, back to work.Marianne

What time is it there now? Masyadong maaga ka yatang pumapasok.

Ako rin naka cc ang office email ko para mabasa ko agad ang update. I meant to anwer all your email during my lunch break pero heto 2 pm na hind pa ako nag la lunch, month-end kasi.Any wala pa akong natatanggap na pictures, please send some.Baby

I got your invitation for May 9th. Meron kaming mother's day gathering during lunch pero we can make it to your son's party for dinner. Call me at my cell phone xxx -993-1173. Yung home phone ko para lang sa mga creditors, hi hi hi.

Marianne - good to hear from you and it is such a small world talaga. I met Randy maybe 8 years ago (or longer, I lost track of time) here in Los Angeles when she & her her family is on vacation. I think at that time she still works for a bank in PI. My cousin (Tina Digal) is also her high school classmate. Send my regards next time you see her.

Emma - wake up and smell the roses. Ikaw din mahuhuli ka sa balita.

Eva - mabuti na lang hindi nakakataba ang pictures, otherwise nag gain na ako ng 20 lbs sa katitingin ng mga luto mo. Kailangang matikman, siguradong masarap!

Ayan, talagang nagutom na ako. Sige mag lu-lunch na ako at baka himatayin ako dito.

Bye for now...

Bigla naman akong nagutom sa inyo, International pa ang mga pagkain ninyo.
I think Tina's married name is Gubatan, Emma please confirm, we saw her long time ago na siguro close to 15 years ago,.
Lahat tayo hindi nagbago, I saw all your photos (Emma, where's yours?) please call me.
Only with the passage of time we all have grown wiser (kuno). I am so happy everybody is doing good. We should really stay in touch and plan for that reunion.
Meron na bank Grandma sa atin? My sons are still single, my elder one got a Chinese girlfriend, but no plans yet because he is still in law school for 2 more years.
Anyways, since I left the Phil in 1981, I stayed in Los Angeles from 1981 to 1994 and worked as an accountant with one retail company. The whole familly went back home to the Philippines in 1994 to try living there, but we decided to come back to the US in 1998.
This time, we went to Las Vegas, NV where Howard Hughes Corp. hired my husband back. I've been married to Rommel Dizon Sr for 25 years. He is an HVAC engineer and he is from Magalang, Pampanga. We settled back here in LA in 2003 when the kids started going to college and to be near with our siblings where in LA.
Currently, I am the accountant of Sequoia Productions, an event planner base here in Los Angeles, The company has been doing the after awards party for the Oscars and the Emmys for the past 15 years. I usually attend the party for both the Oscars and the Emmys. I know I have some pictures with JLo and George Clooney, and I was at one of the internet photo by the entrance of the ballroom. I will email them to you guys. Last Oscar, I approach Charo Santos of ABS CBN (a Paulinian too),she's the Pres of ABS CBN. This is the first time a saw a Filipino attending the Oscar party, I've been doing this for 5 years. This coming Sept we will doing the Emmy's party and I will keep you posted on my star adventure.
More balitas to follow.

Thank you Marianne for your endorsement. hehehe

I emailed Belle the link to my personal album with family photos and link to our pictures at your place with Cyn and Willie last July 08. I don't want to overwhelm her and not make yabang about my hobby.

Anyway, if anyone is interested, you can view my food obsession. Here's the link to my blog which is really just my journal of cooking and eating.

Wow Belle, mukhang ang sarap naman ng handa mo. Ikaw ba ang nagluto.
Alam ninyo, si Eva ay napakagaling magluto. Sana makatikim din kayo ng mga special recipes niya. Eva, nabigay mo na ba sa kanila ang blog mo?
