Dear
Loved Ones,
Pleasant Greetings from SAC, CA,
USA! We are in the middle of summer heat with temps in three digits;
compensated with the cool evening breeze – the body needs to adapt well to the
sudden changes. One needs to balance everything - Much Thanks GOD for all the
Blessings!
Church activities kept me busy – Opus
Dei group (supplemented with watching videos and potluck meals with the
ladies), Adoration Chapel commitments, doing Library duties, fulfilling
assignments as Eucharistic Minister; balanced with week-end bonding with Sean,
eating out and watching movies, and workouts / exercising at the clubhouse gym.
Car-pooling with my neighbor Odette, I
attended the 3rd Saturday breakfast meeting of the BCBP at Denny’s;
the sharers were a military couple with their compelling family life
experiences – so profound. The following Wednesday, I attended a prayer meeting
at the home of Odette and Robert Pumares with 9 others, at Sunridge Park (next
to our Anatolia).
Sean was on field work in the San Diego
area for a week, so I focused on my contemplative missions, house works,
gardening, vehicle maintenance tasks, and other routine.
On our Pinas side, Gerry did his
executive medical check-up, and the results are within normal limits, except
for some ulcers which need attention. We are all looking forward to our Pinas
reunion middle of August; we are praying for good health, nice weather,
peaceful situation in the environment, safe travel – GOD bless us always!
Other
highlights of the month:
- I recommended a Pinay household help for my sister and her husband, and I hope they can adjust to one another;
- Sean has been on field work to San Diego and areas across the Mexican border that he had to carry his American passport; and used to eating Mexican food, but had been avoiding them since he came back; longing for Pinoy food;
- Had my Dental visit for fillings, cleaning, and other preventive maintenance tests – everything is fine!
Movies
watched – Legend of Tarzan (historical tale of Belgium – Africa); Mike and
David Need Wedding Dates (comedy featuring Zac Ephron and others); Ghostbuster
2 (starring female leads); Star Trek – Beyond (starring Chris Pine and others;
and Imagine You and Me (IYAM - Pinoy movie starring the popular ALDUB, Alden
and Maine love team). I was happy when
Sean informed that IYAM was showing in a Roseville theatre as I had beena fan,
following their Calle Serye in GMA-Pinoy TV’s Eat Bulaga. I enjoyed the talents
and thousand faces of Maine Mendoza – she deserves her phenomenal success!Much love and Best Regards!!!SUSAN BG
