Fragments of Last Year

Realizing that there were several things I missed when I went to Russia and now the fragments of every piece are now coming back after me. Coming back from a year that was a struggle for every student who pursued their AFS School year it was time for me to go back to my past and it was a different feeling now. I decided to go back home in Morong Rizal, a small town in the east of Manila. This town is where I grew up and I left my family there to pursue a bigger dream and be a part of a bigger picture.

After two months when I left the Philippines my brother John had his first child from his marriage with Rochelle. It was a big disappointment for everyone, believing that he'll be fulfilling his dream before making his own family but destiny has been challenging him and my family. Everyone said she has my resemblance, but i keep on denying the fact that she has it, It can't be as easy as like that knowing that the consequence of having a child is harder when parents are not prepared for anything of that kind.
My brother is now experiencing it.

Cheska is sweet and quiet for a baby eight month old but she's coping and making every day as a learning day with her father. Our family is always doing their part in providing for the three of them.




Kapamilya Comeback...

Ahhh unlike every ABS-CBN Stars who shines the lime light, my shine was not so bright to get their attention when I visit my second home ABS-CBN compound in Quezon City. I walked around the compound like a stranger to it, I was a very very weird feeling coming back to a company I worked for three years. The feeling was overwhelming while I was walking towards ELJ Communication Center. I remember my first ABS-CBN Week in 2004, I was walking through the hallways and not even thinking that I'll be working for my dream company. One of the best days of my life would have been our training in Cebu City. In A month and a half we stayed in Cebu and trained in International Academy for Film And Television IAFT (http://www.filmschool.ph/).

A year passed and changes were fast to keep me disoriented with the security passes in ABS-CBN and with the new facilities they had added in. Passing the Loop, i went to Big Brother House, where my colleagues are working at. There were a lot of people whom I shared some of the most unbelievable experiences. Miss Peng was in the front garden of the BB house smoking then Tophey went out to meet me and bring me inside. It gives me creeps that authenticates that Im here in Manila!! that Im in the Philippines!

I stayed for almost four hours in ABS-CBN just going around talking to lost friends. Four Hours Imagine! I lost a year then I have to keep them in track for only four limited hours. I know I have to make updates with everyone of them.
