2020 Christmas photo of Salie's beautiful family

Salie and her husband Tim, both far right, live in St. Louis, Missouri. They have three sons and two granddaughters!

Salie and I were neighbors on Toni Ct in Vallejo

My family and I moved to our house on Toni Ct in 1979 when I was in seventh grade. Salie and I were neighbors until my family moved start of ninth grade to our house on Heather Ct. Salie and I both attended Springstowne Junior High School and Hogan Senior High School.

We had gotten back in touch last or two years ago via texts. She's not on Facebook (as are a couple old buddies, so I'll be more on this site than Facebulok). Salie came up in conversation when I took Auntie Digna Santiago to visit Dinna.

FYI Springstowne & Hogan alumni. Salie and her husband may be in town for Thanksgiving holidays.

Let's plan on a mini-reunion in November.

Former IT Product Manager at Pacific Gas & Electric. Photographer at JFPerseveranda.com. Founder, Social Media Manager & Content Creator at Pinoybuilt.com. I'm a 1.5 generation immigrant—Filipino-born, U.S.-raised—sharing stories that bridge cultures. Share yours at PINOYBUILT.com. I’m still learning about our roots, and I invite you to learn with me. I was born in Makati City and raised in Marikina, known for world-class shoes and strong community ties. I went to Marist School; my sister went to St. Scholastica’s. We spent weekends in Malate—those memories of old Manila still shape who I am. At 9, we moved to Chicago, where I saw snow for the first time. At 12, we relocated to Vallejo, CA. Since then, I’ve lived in Davis, Glendale (SoCal), back to Chicago in my 20s, San Francisco & Fremont. I visit SoCal often for family. Chicago will always be special—but go Golden State Warriors! At UC Davis, I was a member of Mga Kapatid, where I had the chance to participate in Pilipino Culture Night and perform traditional dances like Bangko. Now, as a father of three, I’m doing my best to pass on our Filipino heritage. Let’s build something Filipino together. Mabuhay. Salamat!
