FEEDBACKS!!

Hi Vic: Reading your Balikbayan’s diary is amusing and entertaining. I never thought you are still doing the same thing as before. Wow riding in a tricycle from Urdaneta to Asingan I can never do that. Knowing that there are lots of hold-uppers on your way home to Asingan. You really have guts. During my younger days I have been to Urdaneta once only to watch the movie “Tarzan in the Amazon”. In Manila my pastime every Saturday was to see the movie and have a walk in Luneta (Rizal Park). All I could say is keep on writing it’s very entertaining. Thank you

 

 

Hi M. Lito, I know, you didnt go to Urdaneta because of the smell of the theatres! I dont blame you though, but a movie addict like me would go anywhere..anusan even those movies shown in the plaza during our  town fiesta..Remember the Lamplighter guy?.He has a beard, black cloak and he looked more like Rasputin the mad Russian monk than anybody else! Sometimes, he would perform healing in public..right among the fiesta crowd and I once saw an old woman who had arthritis go up the stage to him..He made some incantations, massage her shoulder, then voila! She was cured, or at least that is what he made us believe! For 25 centavos, you could watch a movie inside his tent ( actually a space surrounded by black tarpaulin..) Outside he would heal some people, sell some medicinal oil, etc..Yes sir, he reminds me of Snakeoil Harry of the Wild, Wild West!!

Hey!  I couldn't get into the site tonight, I have a numb brain.  Wasn't getting my pass word right.  The baby is darling!  This is your grandbaby?  I know the angels rejoice with you, another soul for the Lord.  Thank you for sharing.  I don't always get to look at these things right off.  I'm snowed under with kids & grand kids.  But I do read them, and I enjoy them a great deal.  Pretty soon, I can be part of the family!  LOL  
 
  Take care, Paula
