On July 27, 2008, Marissa and I attended the wedding of Cherry Ann Udasco and Carlos Nassaire.
Man, am I glad no one got a photo of me crying at my own wedding, and by saying that I am not admitting that I did.
Carlos had just arrived back in The Philippines after working in Vancouver, Canada, […]
This post is pretty much just for family.
I can’t see that there would be many people that would watch 16 minutes or so of videos of a baby unless they are related to him.
I am very fortunate to have such a healthy, playful and happy baby. I am also fortunate to have a large extended […]
A few days before July 17, 2008, Marissa advised me that there was a Mother Club Rotary Event in “Pine Hills, Bukidnon”. I tried to look the place up on the Internet and couldn’t find anything. I remember the last time I went to Malaybalay and Valencia that there was some kind of National Park […]
Catholic christening of Race, and the reception that followed, photo gallery.
I am not a catholic, having been raised Methodist, a protestant, but having married a catholic Filipina, and having decided to live for at least the next few years in The Philippines, and raise my son as a filipino, to inoculate in him the values […]
Papa entered a greased pig contest last week and won. Ten men were in the contest and they were all blindfolded. The pig was greased to make him hard to catch.

“Lechon” means roasted, and “baboy” is a pig, Tagalog.
Marissa bought the pig from some friends who live in Lumbia, near the Cagayan de Oro Airport. The price was 100 pesos per kilo, or 5500 pesos for the above pig, which was taken to my house live on Thursday, two days before he was prepared […]
So, I have to give in.
Race is a good kid, he only cries when he is hungry…
Needs to be changed…
Or if he’s sleepy..
Of course, sometimes he can’t sleep because of all the distractions…
Sometimes the distractions come from Mama…
Sometimes the distractions are just toys, like super-sized milk bottles…
Sometimes it’s Mama that distracts him…
Sometimes he just distracts […]
My cousins, Gilbert “Pampoy” Miranda and his wife Ann “Ann-Ann” Christy, celebrated the first birthday of their darling daughter, Mary Joselette “Buletlet” Miranda in style on April 9, 2008, at one of the Pearlmont Hotel’s several function/banquet rooms. (”Buletlet” means “cute” in Visayan.)
There was seating and food for 200 guests, and it looked like […]
Yesterday I watched for the 2nd time the Good Friday processions of the Philippine Independent Catholic Church (PICC) and the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). Last year I did not realize what the processions were about, but this year it dawned on me that these processions are re-enactments of a funeral procession for the recently […]
On the East side of Cagayan de Oro is a road that goes up a fairly steep mountain road. Eco-Village is on that mountain, and there also some kind of wilderness resort up that mountain that offers hiking, rock climbing and and overnight camping. The road is steep is my point. […]
