| 6th June 2008 lyn smith | lovely - From: MALAPASCUA Island - Philippines First of all, I want to thank you for your kind and unspoil words. Those statement was really "TRUE", your right, still is HEAVEN AND PARADISE, esp. when you know, there are trully place in this world that still innocent at heart to welcome, love to care, give their best to their friends/visitors. Your dealing with "GOD MERCY" at all time in this Island. Mother Nature is your best friend, and pray that she stays. You know what I mean. I grow up there in "LOGON" till I was 12yrs. old. I know the catastrophy that nature can do. My family live on prayers, in everything that they do. I been away for too long, but my heart aches when I think back home. The fishing, fresh food, relax time always, and most of all my time with families. So I prayed that "GOD" will bring me home every year for the "FIESTA CELEBRATION" to see and feel GOD's creation that "HE" birthed me to, even I end to be the poorest girl in the world after all. I call it my ultimate sacrifice, gather all my energy for two years then back home again even just for two weeks, there "I'm broke" again. I have given it all to my people, but it's all worth it. Reading your blog, reminded me and it did brought tears to my eyes. I've been living in states since I was 19yrs. old. Taken me 13yrs. before I made it home again. I cried everytime month of May approaching, cause I know that this is the month that I will get reunited, and acquinted again with old and new members of our family, seeing most of my family from different place of the world. WE are very loyal and true to our feelings being a family. Since 99, I have been home often, as I know now 2yrs is the most, that I can take of feeling homesick. I'm hoping one day, that GOD will let me stay for as long as He let me. It's funny how growing up, I want to ran away from the innocent of life, now looking back I wish I stayed. But then, I would not know the difference what life had to offer. Now I treasure everything about the Island. And I hope that this comment will bring a lesson to the locals, that what you got on that Island is a pure "TREASURE" make the best of it, and love it because "GOD's had given you the life of "PARADISE". My thanks to the LORD OF HOW HE KEEP THAT LITTLE ISLAND WELL CARE AND PROTECTED. TO OUR MOTHER, Mahal, Virgin De Los Desamparados, (daghang salamat sa imong pagkamatuod nga inahan, wala kay pinalabi). Well, thank you for visiting there, and your true words. I hope that you will visit again. LYN MONTECLAR ROSALES |

| 14th December 2007 Shirley Fryer | Europa calling! (Judith) - From: DUBAI - City of Contrasts Well, aren't I clever? Managed to understand your instructions and see what you've been getting up to! What a marvellous Arab Ben makes! We're very glad you're safely there - what a plane ride that was! We hoped you might have been able to sleep or look at films - it must have been like going to another planet. Been to see Mackenzie again - looked the same as before. Very busy with school at moment. Infant Nativity, playing for choir last night at Esporta (carols). Chris Beardsell was there on a large table for their church's Christmas meal. Tomorrow St. Williams Christingle followed by Julia's Abbeydale Singers Carol Concert. Very cold here, cold AND dank. Dad says very very pleasant to talk to you - a nice surprise, and glad to know everything going all right. You'll soon be looking after those children!! We look forward to hearing about it. Lots and lots of love to you both. Heaps of love from Woof. xxx |
