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.

A Post Card from Bora Bora, French Polynesia

1 received the above post card from Alix and Brendan during their honeymoon in Bora Bora three weeks ago. Alix is one of my four grand daughters. She is my second grand daughter that is married.  Alix is the oldest daughter of my son, Dodie.  Thank you Alix and Brendan for the post card. I am honored to be remembered during one of the happiest event in your young life. 



I wish more grand children remembers their grand parents, in spite of the busy schedule of daily living and practicing their profession.  I will treasure this post card as a symbol of our good relationship between grand father (LOLO) and grand daughter. More Power to Grand Children who remembers their Grand Parents.     

I also know also that you are one of my two grand daughters that showed interest in knowing more about your Filipino heritage. Here are two sites describing my ancestral roots both from father's side of the Family-the C(K)atague Clan and my mother's side of the Family the Balleza Clan.

And here's the site of the ancestry of your LOLA Macrine maternal side of the Family-The Nieva Clan

I exert no pressure. But I am looking forward to meet my future great grand children soon!

Love You, Alix and Brendan. May your marriage be filled with happiness and laughter now and forever. Visit me again here at THD soon. LOLO

Meanwhile here are two of my favorite quotes on marriage.

Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and far happier is he who finds that true friend in his wife.” – Franz Schubert. “There is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.” – Martin Luther.
