Sixth Grade




I went back to my old school for sixth grade. I'm standing third from left, again right next to my good friend from grade school, Rosalyn (2nd from left).

My grandmother in my father's side died when I was in sixth grade. We attended her funeral in Bulacan. From my home province of Bataan, our family traveled by jeepney to pay our respects. I did not really know her that well. From what I hear, we could have a lot of similarities. She was a very independent woman. Her faith was central to her life. I guess that's part of the reason I am writing my memoirs here in my blog. Maybe my future grandchildren and greatgrandchildren will be able to read this and through my stories understand themselves better.

I really should start scanning all my old grade school (and high school, heaven forbid! hehehe) pics. Rene and I spent a fun day scanning his grade school pics (naku, you should see how Rene, Marco Polo and Al look in short pants, hehehe!) Have a great day, it's raining torrentially here in Manila today as we wait for GMA's SONA on the radio.
