I met him in Cambodia on 18 June 2008. I went to look at his apartment in TTP. I remember very well that it was a very sunny day when I met him. Coz we met at about 1230pm man outside the old CWF building in TTP. Naglakaw2 mi ni Ate atos PP after seeing his apartment. We eventually ate ice cream somewhere coz init lagi. But wala namo kuhaa ni Ate ang apartment unit coz gimahalan mi. He paid for 3 months rent in advance and morag plano ni landlord ato nga patas-an. Wala pa mn gud koy work pud ato sa PP. Then after 2 weeks I saw him at Western International School in Toulkork, De Castle Campus. We became colleagues. There was even an incident that I'll never forget about the report cards at school. I ended up saying sorry to him about it. And the rest is history. Coz I went home in November 2008 and for good in October 2010 coz dili lagi ko OFW.. Fast forward to recent times. I told him that I'm experiencing changes in my body coz of my age. Tiguwang naba daw ko kaju nga di na nako kaya mobyahe to KH which is essentially just a 2 hour flight. Hehe. He always keeps me in check. He's now a metafit coach n mn kaha gud in PP. He's been there since Feb/March/April 2008 I think. He did the CamTEFL man with Marco Demarin. I met him at Cafe Yejj in TTP when I visited with Mama back in October 2013. He asked me then why I didn't want to work in KH again. I said coz my mom's very old. But my mom passed away a few weeks after that and I didn't return to PP. I had my own agenda.. He didn't meet up with me when I visited last 25-31 March 2019. He was busy working daw and that he was also sick. Brownout daw sa PP. True man sad. But then iya n mn gud ni gibuhat before so di n lng ko matingala. All the best in PP n lng po. God bless! ;)

He must really love me. He was my former student who eventually became my suitor. But I didn't give him a chance so in 2006 he got married to someone else. After that we somehow kept in touch. He tried to stay in touch mn gud. I kept my distance coz syempre so I don't want to destroy their family. He's a teacher now in Naga, Cebu. Morag taga-didto iya asawa. Cf he once told me that dili sayon ang pag-aasawa. But if mao daw gusto sa imong heart and di pud mosupak imo mind, go daw! Today 17 March 2017 I saw his message on FB nga nangumusta nako. So I came to the conclusion that he must really love me. He called me up gud even when I was in Holland. Because of that I became disturbed gud and took a train to Belgium. I spent the entire day in Belgium nga nagsuroy2 on my own. Thanks Johnroy and all the best to you and your family and loved ones always!

Legazpi, Albay

I had booked a ticket to Legaspi City in July this year. Madon invited me to share in the joyous occasion of their wedding anniversary. They were planning to renew man daw their wedding vows with Fr. Jovic. I had booked my ticket with Cebu Pacific alrdy last March mn cguro to. I paid P5,334.16 last 03/05/17. I was able to go there last July 11-12. Mora ra jud ko'g nisimhot didto. I slept in Bacacay gud so that I could visit my cousins there also. Then the next day I travelled to Legazpi City after visiting Uncle Loloy in the cemetery. I met up with Madon and her husband and Fr. Jovic at the New Chancery Building in the Old Albay Cathedral Compound. We had a very private mass in their chapel. Then we went for lunch at Colonial Grill in their Ayala Center. After lunch they rushed off to Sorsogon while I made my way to the airport too. Nagkita mi Jacky and Sir Herbert Rosana of Bicol University who I met during TCW at Legazpi Airport. Then I waited for my flight back to Cebu City. That's how my very short trip went. May 2009 pa ko last nibiya didto. I had the chance man to work in SEDP from January to May. I couldn't stay on the job coz it was too far from home. When I went to SEDP this time, gibida jud ni Fr. Jovic ang ilang award from BSP. They are in a bigger office building too. I must admit I felt bad when Jovic said that Cheryl Soriano graduated from NUS but I did not. Well, I already did all of it back in 2005-2006 as well as very quickly in 2008. I can't do anything about it anymore. I withdrew my candidature from NUS na gud. Sayang tinuod but then according to Mam Alona, that was the best I could do at that point. Di mn gud ka pwede magregret sa imong decision. I have tried my best and if indeed it wasn't good enough, then I can't do anything about it anymore. I was confused man lagi when I was in NUS. Nobody helped me out from USC. Only my good Filipino friends there tried to help me out. Jia you Doki, everything will be alright ra lagi. Your time to shine will come. AMEN!
