My Dear Bwisitors!
July 9, 2002
Loida Aragon and Myra Handog and kids "Bwisited" Orland in Vancouver in June. It is almost a sin to imagine how "good a wife (ehem!- if you know what I mean)" Loida is that Mario let her go on a 7-week trip of North America. Loida's first stop was Vancouver where she stayed at Orland's mom's house. Why not at Orland's, you might ask? "Wala raw makain sa bahay nila.

Dahil sa mabili ngayon ang mga kamatis, consequently, dumadaloy na walang tigil ang katas nito sa bulsa ni Myra Handog, sinabayan niya si Loida sa pag bwisita kay Orland. Dali-daling lumipad kasama ang dalawang anak na si Kevin at Alexia. Myra and kids just stayed for 2 nights. Timo nga naman ang suerte. She was supposed to pay for their accommodation at the Westin Bayshore nang biglang nagliwanag ang langit at inilibre sila ng dating kasamahan ni Loida sa trabaho. Libre na nga eh na-upgrade pa sa isang stunning 2- bedroom suite overlooking Stanley Park and the Coal Harbour.

We left for Seattle on Saturday to see Oyie Yambao. Halos bumagsak ang mga salamin sa dinding dahil sa dagungdong mula sa ingay ng kanilang mga bunganga (Bibig, pala!). We had a big feast and a lot of stories to tell. My family and I left that evening while Loida and Myra stayed overnight. Myra had to fly back to San Francisco that Sunday. Umuwing mga bingi sina Alexia at Kevin dahil sa trauma na dinanas ng kanilang mga tenga. Oyie had to drive Loida back to Vancouver on Sunday afternoon.

As of this writing Loida is touring Ontario. She e-mailed me a couple of days ago and said she spent the long weekend and Canada Day in Montreal and Ottawa.

Her next stop will be San Diego. Matiyagang naghihintay ang kanyang pinagkakautangan. She will visit Mario para
"magbayad ng utang". She will be going back home sometime in August pag lupaypay  na siya sa pagbabayad ng kanyang "pagkakautang" kay Mario. Maghanda ng SALOMPAS.

Oyie Yambao ?
July, 2001
Lorie "Oyie " Yambao (chynthia?) invited Orland and his whole family to the christening of his youngest son in Federal Way, Washington. Actually Orland and Beng stood as ninong and ninang to Matthew, a five year old, poging-pogi (mana sa ninong!), future "Regal Baby".

Although not a member of our homeroom, Oyie is well know to all of us since she hung out with us especially with Loida, Emely, Myra, Nancy, and Liza among others.

Living only 2 1/2 hour- drive away from Vancouver, she and her kids are constant visitors of Vancouver. She would pay Orland a visit whenever she is bored at home. "Bilib na bilib ako sa galing niyang magpasikot-sikot sa Vancouver.....puwedeng taxi driver! Though not that often, we would also visit with her everytime we had the chance

Bilib na bilib rin ako sa "tindi" ng hospitality niya. Talagang wala akong masabi sa pag-aasikaso niya! Huwag kalimutan kung gaano siya kahusay magluto! Thanks for the warm welcome, Oyie!.
