It has been said that 'OF ALL THE THINGS IN WHICH THE WISE EXCEL, NATURE'S CHIEF MASTERPIECE IS WRITING WELL.'This is my attempt at writing and getting published. This is not to say I'm passing myself off as wise but believe me, I hope to come across as someone who just writes well. After all, what's a frustrated writer to do but write? And hopefully, get read?

PAP34 [Housewarming]
Super dami the tao at our housewarming. Box office hit! It was the first time that the Magnos and the Mendozas came together, so it's also probably historical and certainly hysterical. He he. This is the eksena at the living area na tagus-tagusan sa dining area.
Jog and young family sa stairs where you can also see somehow what's going on at the terrace. Turkish lamp also making dungaw from the ceiling. The baby (Howie) is my godson. Lucky baby huh?!?
Dennis' nephew JR and girlfriend Lisa enjoying dessert at the dining area where the dining chairs were backed up against the wall for more space.
Blogger's nephews and niece bonding at the garage area -- my, how they have grown!!! There's Ana, Gavriel, Jeremy, Paolo and Jonathan.
Dennis' nephew (Gabriel), hilaw na nephew-in-law (Levy), niece (Joanna) and apo, the cute and cuddly Luigi, at the still-empty but cool foyer.
My three pretty nieces bonding on our really gigantic (though it does not seem apparent in this shot) bed: Gabrielli, Frances and Tricia.
Dennis' niece Lea and look-alike daughter, infront of our little fountain at the terrace.
The other Bismontes: Kuya Tanton, Candace, Ernst and young wife and new-born son, Kristine (she of the Bismontes who went to Hong Kong) and Ate Elaine with Dennis at the balcony. This group of Bismontes used to own the house and lot where Merrill Court now, pardon the adjective, "proudly" stands.
My wonderful and helpful sisters (Tess, in grey; sister-in-law Ate Lilia; Flor and Doris, in blue) with Dennis' Ate Bab and daughter Karen, at the still-immaculate kitchen.
More of Dennis' sandamakmak na nieces and nephews: Kathleen, Richard, Jog and Bryan infront of Merrill Court.
