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.

Coping up with Grief: Balance Between Frugality and Extravagance-Part 2

In my first article about coping up with grief, I mentioned that I am participating in the Complimentary Hospice Program for Grief Counseling which started last week. The first session was indeed helpful. One of the questions, the counselor asked me was, what do I missed most about my spouse of over 63 years. My first reaction was about Macrine's personality( exact opposite of mine), her passion for community involvement and her good sense to balance frugality and extravagance. (See link below)

The following are some photos of Macrine's involvement in the community and her leadership abilities with the Filipino-American Community in the Washington DC area in the late 1990's.
