How is everything over there?

It has been nice weather here in the east coast for the past months considering that it is winter here. From the past ntil today Our tmperature was generaly 40 to 50 and sometimes went up to 70 but today and the comming months, we will experience 15 to 20 degrees which is way below freezing per the weather forecast. I am use to it except that i pity the young children going to school. It takes them too much time to dress up with warmer sweater/jackets and still suffer being outdoor. Lucky for you tita to be there to enjoy our warm hometown, openning young coconuts, buying Ice cream, going anywhere not worrying for anything.

When I was there in January of yr.2001, I was surprise with the change of Bayombong. It was so crowded with students, tricycles and buildings constructed all the way to the edge of sidewalk or streets. I did not realy appreciate the looks without any landscaping between the streets and houses. With what i saw it is not stopping me to come there again to see most of you if not all who are still strong and kicking. I do not have anybody to stay with (relative) but with you over there i will still be able to sleep in somebody's coach. Tita, in case you happen to see our classmate ROGELIO QUERIDO who was in Bonfal 47 years ago, please extend him my regards.

Regards,
