Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

Birthdays/Christmas Greetings and Newsletters


Do you still send or receive Birthday and Christmas cards/ newsletters greetings via post office mail? (Hall Mark Cards)

I seldom send Birthday or Christmas cards via snail mail after I signed up on FaceBook several years ago. Normally, I will extend my greetings via Facebook or e-mail.

I believe this is what most of you are doing, because it is easy and no expense on postage stamps.  However there are a few exceptions this year.

This 2019 Holiday Season, I received more than 70 birthday Greetings Via FB and three via E-mail and two telephone calls. However, I received only three Birthday cards via post-office mail.

Macrine and I also received more than 50 Christmas Greetings via Facebook. However, we received only four Christmas Cards and two Christmas Newsletters via post office mail this year.

One of the Christmas cards were from an old friend who has no FB account. The other three were from closed relatives. Needless to say, Macrine and I do appreciate more receiving cards via mail than from FB greetings.

The first( out of 2) newsletter came from our oldest son and I like to share it with you.



Thank you Dodie and Ruth for the above newsletter besides your Christmas card from Hallmark.

Note: When our Children were young, Macrine and I used to send Christmas Newsletters similar to the one above without photographs.
