Minnie at 42

It my sister’s birthday today. Fermina was born 14 September 1965. She is 42 years young. Young kase she still doesn’t look much her age. Probably, will pass off as a 35 year old lady. She graduated from UST.... finished HRM. Photo shows Minnie with my mom the night before she left for Canada

For the past year, Minnie, as she is fondly called, has been living and working in Edmonton, Canada. For many years, she worked at Danarra Hotel until she pursued a chance of working abroad. She had worked in Danarra for many years, and often whenever we were around that place, we would pick her up at the hotel. When the three nephews, Carla, Geneve and Nicole, were all still living with us, there would be weekends, they would go to Danarra for a swim.

I remember back in 2005, she made her first overseas trip. Yes, she visited Chief and me in Vietnam. For two weeks, she lived with us at Hung Vung 2 at Saigon South. And for a week, she also bonded with our cousin, Patrick, who also had a long vacation with us. Photo shows my sister with Patrick (left) and Chief (right)

During those days, none of us would have imagined three cousins living together in Vietnam, much less, imagine Minnie traveling out of the country. But now, she is across the globe… on her own and for that we are very proud of her!
