Sharon Cuneta

I had a CD of Sharon Cuneta's album "When I Love" with the carrier single "Both Sides Now". I found them in Bohol last week nga nauli ko. Hasta tong Sharon Sings Ogie. So si Lionel Richie ug Nina ra diay cguro naapil kawat last June 2012 when my HP Netbook got stolen. I like this song from that album: When I love I make sure that he knows in his heart In my life there is only one man I give my love to There'll be no ifs no buts When I love I will let him Hold me in his arms For as long as he wants I will never let go Oh no There'll be no if no buts When I love When I love Pati "Starlight, Starbright" from that album I like too. It goes like this: Starlight, starbright Wish I may, wish I might Won't you make him love me too Make him want to hold me too And promise me forever And wish upon a star As I do And of course "Both Sides Now". Need I say more??

Bong

He's Kuya Nasty's nephew, kaedad nila Leeyaj. I think he came to Cambodia in 2007, dungan2 sila Bantil. Sa Pyramid in Siem Reap mn to cja first work, which was managed before by Kuya Ray Kirit. Then sa Intercon n pud cja work.. Lahi n cja ron. Nagmature na and happy daw pud cjas ija life in PP. He gave me such great words of wisdom on my way home. He said sakto ra kuno my decision to go home in 2010. He told me to continue my passion of laag2. And he also said 'hangga't kaya mong magmahal, magmahal ka. Hangga't kaya mong tumawa, tumawa ka. Maiksi lng kuno ang buhay.. Daghan n btaw na cja tugon naho. When I asked before if pwede ba ko mag-asawa, he told me 'lumabas ka kaya sa kweba, subukan mong mag-2pc'. Bong talaga.. He also told me that depende kuno sa tinitibok ng puso mo kung kinsa mn gani ako minyuan. He's with Priscilla diay, a French girl he met there. Morag mag-6yrs n cguro cla. He's been to France n gud last year. Then nakaplano n kuno nga magminyo sila ug magkababy phn. She has been to Palawan n pud and nana kuno pud silay yuta napalit didto. Taga probinsya mn tawn diay sila. Layo gud kaju ang ila hometown of Brooke's Point sa Puerto Pricnesa. Ang iya ingon was 'once mahanap mo n sya at alam mong mahal mo habang buhay, maiintindihan mo rin kung gaano ako kasaya ngayon'. Cge gud Bakulaw, all the best in PP always!

PP Visit 2019

I wanted to do the trip coz I wanted to see how things are in PP. I left in October 2010 and I visited with my late mother last Oct 2013. So that trip was 5+ yrs in the making. I came to PP on Tuesday, 26 March after taking the bus from Saigon. Si Ate Larns ang nitagbo naho sa bus station near Olympic. She sent me to Juvy's place in BKK1 near Wat Lanka. Then we had pizza at Domino's nearby. There I paid for our food with the riels from Ate Ica. Heheh. Niapas na lng si Juvy then after dinner uli n mi. We had a long talk about what happened between her and Jack. Then after this, sleep na. The next day I had lunch with Marge at nearby Vego Salad. Then she accompanied me to Aeon Mall 1 near Nagaworld. From there I sent her back to her school then I went to Phsar Thmey for pasalubong. Then I went to Sorya also. From there I went to see Ate Tess in her school. Dinner mi in a resto nearby. Then by sheer chance, nagkita pud mi Elen. Didto ko nija gipatulog sa ija apartment. Afternoon of next day I went to see Bong at Hotel Intercon. Then I came back to Sihanouk Blvd supposedly to see Mam Eliza. Dugay mn cja so nilakaw n lng ko to the place where Mikawa Resto is. Grabe oi, didto mis skybar ni Juvy ug Ate Larns. To cap the night, didto p jud mis Brooklyn Pizza and Bistro. Next day I bought my bus ticket na to Saigon then went to Toulkork. Kutob gate ra kos K-West kos la n mn ko kaila sa mga gwardya. From there I went to Lucky Supermarket in Sihanouk. I had to do it. It's a very memorable place. From there I stayed back ila Juvy till afternoon. I went to Aeon Mall 2 for dinner with Dexter and Janet and Marge. From there we went to Motor Cafe. There I met Bong's brother Mark Fil and his gf Kim Bugo. The next day nakigkita p jud ko ni Malou ug Kuya Nasty. From there nanghipos n ko and I took the bus to Saigon na. Just like that my PP vacation is over. Di n pud ko kahibaw when ko kabisita didto balik. Thak you for the opportunity Lord. Amen. Lahi n kaju PP jud ron, di na pareha sauna. Please bless all our friends there Lord. I acknowledge the time they all took in order to welcome me back in PP. Si Ate Malyn wa n mi magkita, pati si Mam Eliza ug sila Will-Karren kay busy lagi mga tawo. God bless us all always!
