Sparks and Smiles

Just waiting for Cecile's parents here at our Greenhome, somewhere in Legazpi Village.

Cecile is catching some sleep in the sofa.

Am watching the Toronto Raptors and New Jersey Net playoff game.

We are all visiting Tita Eva in Quezon City. She has been sick for the past few months, but continues to be under the tender loving care of Boyet and Tessa and their 3 kids, two daughters and one son, fondly called C1, C2 and C3.

Dad Gabutina hasn't seen his sister in a long long time. She was not able to make it during the Gabutina Clan reunion last December. Cecile and I did visit her a couple of months ago. She was cheered up when we visited her. But with the passing away of Tito Nick last year, her zest for life has affected. And visits from relatives and loving care from Tessa and Boyet and their kids do give her lots of sparks and smiles!

Chinkay also proudly showed off her artistic prowess. She is building her own portfolio. Boyet and Tessa are very much supportive of her creative pursuits, bringing her to art exhibits and buying her the tools of her craft. Really cool and loving parents. Hope Chief and I would be cool and loving parents soon!

Boyet is the elder brother of Jeffrey San Diego, who was my classmate in UST HIgh School. While Tessa is into writing romance novels, very much like my barkada, Edith Garcia from college. Boyet and I also share the same "activism" during his days at U.P. while me... as a labor union officer during the long strike at the Manila Bulletin in 1987.
