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.

Summer Vacation: Disneyland Matterhorn

Image
Flashback to Disneyland 2015 2015 June 15. Anaheim, CA. Taken at Disneyland's Autopia . Tess had to stay back due to work. So it was just the kids and I who went to SoCal for summer vacation. Reppin' the Bay Area with Jian wearing his Stephen Curry t-shirt and me wearing my favorite SF Giants Tim Lincecum t-shirt as the Golden State Warriors had just beaten the Cavaliers the day before to take a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals. The Dubs would win the championship the next day.   Jian, Chesca, Nica & J.F. Autopia is the only existing Tomorrowland attraction dating back to Disneyland Park’s opening day in 1955. When the cars first took to the road, they captured America’s fascination with the latest transportation innovation, the “freeway.” Join us & help build this Los Angeles Filipino-American community.
