Reconnecting with Nature (The Huntington Experience)

When I learned we were to visit Pacific Coast Boulevard, I anticipated one thing....the

pristine Huntington Beach, which is also known as the "Surf City" home to the world's

famous pier.

The beachfront have diverse and complete recreational amenities, parks and cultural services. 

My favorite treat was the preservation of its wildlife. I love watching people doing their own 

activities like jogging, biking, fishing, walking (which I did 😄) and surfers surfing along the 

Pacific Ocean.

The sun kiss on my skin and the smell of the ocean breeze was already a treat. I would never

forget this day and the different images of people waking the shoreline and what nature brings 

us everyday.

I had the finest view of the beautiful landscape. The serenity, inspiration of nature

brought me back to reconnect with nature. The best beach experience I had 

in years.

Reuniting with Friends/ Maryhill Academy (Maryknoll) Batch '86 / Corona California

It was a typical modern day reunion - two former classmates finding each other in Facebook 

years after they last met.

I received a personal message one unsuspecting day from an old friend in elementary inviting 

Me for a get together. I immediately said yes, because I was excited to meet up with US based 

classmates this time.

I became reacquainted with Arlene Prieto- Milana, Roy Zabalerio, Michael Ferreras, Reymer Antona,

Raymund Magadia and Aristotle Quevada.

We brought each other up to date on our lives. We enjoyed dinner, talked and joked. All the people 

I spoke with had an interesting stories to share with regardless of their personal elementary and 

Highschool experiences. The difficult part was when I discovered that there were classmates who 

went ahead of us and had gone to their rest. The fun part was finding long time "lost" who were 

grateful to be "found".

The most rewarding part was when I was able to connect friends who had lost touch with each other

and wanted to reconnect. Before the reunion was over we exchanged contact information.

Life has a way of getting in the way of staying in touch with valued friends on which I have to cherish

my life. 😄

Thank you Arlene Prieto- Milano for organizing the meet up.

Our Countdown to 2015

We celebrated the coming of the year 2015 at the Vue Bar, Bellevue Alabang with family, relatives, close friends and followers. As we bid goodbye and thank 2014 for all the things it brought us, 

Mulatto Band serenaded guests and followers to enjoy and dance the night out.

I am also greateful for having close friends who have been with us all through these years. 

We clink our glasses and say cheers for a blessed and prosperous new year! :)
