Dear Loved Ones,

            Pleasant Greetings from Sacramento, CA, USA!  We are in last stretch of the campaign period for the Presidential elections, and as a Faith person with conscience, I am doing my share of spreading my stand on the most critical issue. I agree with EWTN preachers that the most important criteria, over and above all other issues combined, is the protection of life for the unborn (pro-life); thus, vote for TRUMP-PENCE! Much Thanks!!!

In the midst of the Fall season with rainy days, cold weather, and change of fashion/outfits, the exciting event we looked forward for almost a year (since we got our tickets in October last year) was the Adam Levin’s Marron 5 Concert, opening the new Golden 1 Center, located in downtown Sacramento. Sean, realizing that I was an avid Adam fan since he came out in 2002, (he is the only singer that I expressed admiration for, over the years), made sure that we got 2 VIP premium ticket for the concert. The ticket cost included VIP reception – entrance, amenities, appetizers, drinks, laminated tickets, special shopping time, and many more freebies, floor stage you can almost touch him. After the two opening acts of 2 hours, Adam’s Maroon 5 performed for two straight hours, with no interruption. His vocals were superb, very energetic / entertaining / excellent continuous performance by Adam. No time was lost for outfit change, as he came out with 4 layers of jackets/shirts and removed it at a time, until the last left was sleeveless shirt exposing his body tattoos – he is so slim and sexy! During the entire Adam show, the full-packed crowd was standing and dancing for two hours! The fans were a mixture of young millennials, old men and women -   dancing, and singing to all his original compositions. Truly enjoyable and worth every penny!
 
Significant highlights for the month:
·      On our Tuesday Bible Study group, we are continuing with  ‘The Prophets’, Messenger of God’s Mercy; I find myself actively participating as I am always discussing Question No. 1 in the assignments; well thanks for keeping me focused!
·      On our Opus Dei group (2nd Saturday of the month), Fr. Turlock is back as he is cleared to drive again, resuming his wise counsels. More ladies were queueing up for Confession which is good news;
·      On our BCBP 3rd Saturday breakfast meeting at Denny’s, we had our guest sharer – a politician/ businessman from Zamboanga, Pinas – very compelling life story. I also had more lunch bonding time with Odette P. as we have our common birthdays in September;
·      I look forward to Adoration Chapel turns, and my Eucharistic Minister assignments, which inspires me to prepare spiritually well.
·      Books read for the month: Six Lessons for Life, by John Kane, and 4 more books.            Movies watched for relaxation were: The Girl on the Train, a thriller starring Emily Blunt; The Accountant, a very interesting movie  starring Ben Affleck, about different special person’s talent developed; Keeping up with the Joneses, about nosey neighbors’ discoveries;
·      I am continuously communicating with my lawyer in Bohol, Pinas for the titling of my Valenzuela lot property for its economic development, and following up with Jen Alvaro of Megaworld for the 8I, El Jardin title.

Much love and Best Regards!!!
