Flashback to Santacruzan / Flores de Mayo in Carmine St when SSS Village was still new. Maybe I'm six and Evelyn is nine. Evelyn & her brother Mark Childhood neighbors on Carmine St, we lived two houses away from each other. I'll always have fond memories of Carmine St. Neighbors May & Evelyn.

 Hi Darren!

 Kwentuhan from 2-3 PM.

June 29, 2013: Lunch with family. Mainit as usual. Franco Robles in the house. Marist classmate Ray Abenojar brought me to #9 from Marikina Hotel.

After Antipolo and Greenwich Pizza on the corner of Molave, Ray Abenojar brought me to Boeing's Gym then to Lime St to visit Jeff Delos Santos. All three of us went to Marist School, Batch 1983.  Ray and Jeff attended Marist from Prep through high school.  Of course, I left after Grade 3 when I migrated to the USA with my family.
