Hello Friends,

First I would like to thank everyone who sent us the anniversary greetings. I sincerely appreciate the thoughts. To Prescy, Barbs Che, Mila, Melin, Carlots, Fe Lucille, Amy, Vicky, thank you ladies for the greeting tags and ecards. To kookie, thanks as well for the father's day greetings. Dhay Fe, thanks for the visit here and to all those who sent me private greetings. I dearly thank you whenever you pass this corner.

We all have been busy but am not going to justify our busy-neess. It's just that time off work and school are spent practising for the 108th Philippines Independence day. It was fun, a camaraderie spirit developed and somehow my daughter was all of a sudden laid immerse with the filipinos in such a cooperative and giving way. Although, take note, it was a helluva too, having to deal with the so called 'filipino time", like we were told to practise at 7:00pm and indeed up practising at half past eleven pm. That's our filipino way....Despite of this inconvenience, we were able to do our best. Colleen has to dance the tinikling with a new partner while I did with the rest the pandango.

This was the first presentation during the independence day last June 12

We celebrated the independence day with the diplomats on June 12th. But what was disappointing was, even in diplomatic functions, some of my compatriots here for once can't change their tardiness. The reception was supposedly to start at 6:00pm and of course, all the ambassadors were there on time....and we were supposed to perform at 7:00pm just to entertain the diplomats while having their cocktails.  What can you guess, the dance participants were not there on time but we finally performed, a little late..... and with only a few asian ambassadors and other guests remaining but of course with a full pack filipino audience. Even if the main objective was to present the cultural dances to the guests other than our compatriots, the show went on with enthusiasm and appreciation from the audience.

This is then the presentation in Sheraton hotel last june 16th, it was tagged a cultural show presentation from the Filipino community in Dhaka. This one was a success. This is a paid cultural show and I guess finally all the participants have taken a great toll of commitment. This was a huge organization but with our energetic president and those who participated nothing is beyond.

Colleen performed the Tinikling, Jabanera dance, the La Combia and the Singkil. Other than those tiring dances, she gave a special song number just with the guitar. She was well applauded. Just imagine how she changes from one costume to the others. Am so happy that Colleen's last days in Dhaka were partly doing her side of filipino culture. Am so proud of my daughter.  

Tiny little girls and boys were all lovely in their santacruzan attire too and even their dances were really something to entertain the guests.

The photos will be ready soon, I will advise by email once I loaded all. We are having internet problems lately too so nothing much to do in computer when internet is gone. Take care all and will be visiting you soon.

We will be leaving next week for our summer holiday for two months. Enjoy your summer holiday too guys. I might not be posting then but I will keep in touch by email. Take care all.

Hello Fe,
Aba, you grace my journal with your presence here madame. kumustamos, long time no hear na. but I appreciate it kasi you don't need high maintenance to keep up with my tardiness. How are your flowers, I can guess you must be busy gardening. Thanks thanks to all the compliments, puputok yata ang puso ko but I know you mean it from the heart so thanks for making me smile and thanks so much for writing here and leaving a beautiful footprints. We are leaving in four days. we will pass bangkok first. Enjoy your holiday too and do have fun under the sun "smiles"

Hi Phoebes, am sure youre busy with packing for your vacation and finishing up with work stuffs. Thanks for sharing the pics, have u seen the pics from Tyler's party yet? He loves the basketball hoop you gave him, he plays with it every day. thanks again. :)

Congratulations on the success of your Independence Day celebration despite the few hassles here and there with the 'tardiness' of some participants, lol. I know it is very disappointing that some people do not have respect for other people's time, I hope this stigma of 'filipino time' attached to our 'persona' would vanish and corrected all together.

Its good that your kids get to participate in this kind of event, not only that their social skills are enhanced but they are introduced and get to familiarize themselves to one of their roots. Your daughter is very talented she cannot only dance but sing as well, you must a very proud mom!

Btw, belated happy anniversary to you and your hubby, may you have more blissful years together. And enjoy your summer vacation!
