Liza Franco & Frances Pacis: Hollywood Walk of Fame

Image
Flashback to Summer 1985 This was summer before my freshman year at UC Davis. It should be September because I was supposed to be moving into the dorms. But Tita Myrna lost an expensive bracelet in our house and I found it under the sofa mattress in the den. Tita Myrna asked me to fly down, with both Liza and Frances having offered to pay for my flight. How can I refuse that?! LOL Tita Myrna was my mom's coworker in Illinois Masonic Hospital, and our neighbor in the 20-story Barr Tower. She lived on the 2nd floor, while we lived initially on the 8th floor and moved to a 2-bedroom apartment on the 12th floor. Frances had been my classmate in 6th grade in St. Sebastian in Chicago. But Liza and I both remember that Tita Myrna had taken us to something with our siblings, maybe a movie when we were younger. I have always admired Sophia Loren, so we took a photo with her.

Khor Fakkan Beach & Gulf of Oman Flashback: Khor Fakkan Beach - Sharjah - United Arab Emirates. Khris and I drove from Dubai to Khor Fakkan in the emirate of Sharjah, from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman. We got to Khor Fakkan right before 8 PM, but as you can see, it was HOT & HUMID. This was September in UAE so expect it to be hotter than hell. What is Pinoybuilt.com? Pinoybuilt.com is an online Filipino Community built on Google technoloogy.
