2007 was a year for linking with relatives and staying connected with old friends. It was also a time for losing some friends and making new milestones. Here's a quick rundown of 2007 as I experienced it...
1. New Year 2007- we had our Auntie Cors "Akulaw"---the last of the 4 Antiques---pay us a visit during the Christmas holidays and stay up to February.
2. We had a visit from Kuya Glenn and Ate Marilag and had a get together at the KKK restaurant. We also had a visit from Ket and her son Nicolas.
3. February saw me at the Managers Convention at Taal Vista Hotel,Tagaytay. Our first convention held outside Metro Manila. The franchisees' convention was held at the Marco Polo in Davao.
4. Tasha finally gets a dog! A yellow Labrador whom we name Angel.
5. Amy Directo had a short vacation here and stayed with us at Millbrae.
6. Tasha participates in the Palarong Pambansa at GenSan. She wins overall Silver.
7. Jaja's team wins a $2.4 M bid and gets recognition throughout the Coffey International network.
8. Jaja and I travel to Hong Kong.
9. Jaja and I have a weekend vacation in Bohol with Jaja's friends.
10. The ex-Juvenate egroup holds many mini-reunions. Most memorable is the Coco Grill get together where I manage to play golf again at Luisita. The others are the get together for Ruben Porciuncula and Tony Luistro's 50th birthday.
11. Tasha wins gold medals at the Philippine Olympic festival.
12. Boy Vetus succumbs to cancer. We are shocked by the news of Dulce's death from a car accident. Early this year we had a reunion of the old MTD group which she attended.
13. JP de Guzman marries PY Nakar at the Highlands.
14. TJ finally passes his requirements and becomes eligible for graduation.
15. We buy a new van---an Innova G variant---after months of visioning by Jaja.
16. I travel to Bangkok for an ocular survey in preparation for our Franchisees Convention in 2008.
17. Jaja finally gets our leaking roof fixed and with the help of Kuya Zen we also get our leaking pipe fixed.
18. Before the year ends, I get reconnected with Melvin Claros, a former colleague at Jollibee.
For 2008, we expect a lot of celebrations and more milestones...hopefully more Good Luck and Blessings to come...
1. Jaja and I will get a chance to travel together to Bangkok during our Franchisees' Convention.
2. TJ will finally march during his graduation sometime in February.
3. We are looking forward to him getting employed. :-)
4. Somehow I feel so lucky...Jaja's going to win a Fortuner in the Toyota raffle.
5. James is going to start his culinary arts training at St. Benilde.
6. It will be our 25th wedding anniversary in October. There's a possibility we will travel to the USA in time for the proposed ex-Juvenists reunion in Las Vegas.
We will be richer, happier and more prosperous in 2008!!!
