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 3^rd 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!!!
