It's been a while since we last updated our web page. After writing the chronology of our home buying experience - we would not like to bore everyone with the endless tales of bills and house works that followed :-). Well - recently, our life is returning to normalcy, i.e. our schedule is now as predictable as the weather as we added a few more family activities. Those who received our Christmas 1997 newsletter would know what we mean.

After six years as migrants to Australia (that's right - not 160 years as our picture suggests), we now feel to be truly part of this multi-cultural society. We are active members of the Scouts Association of Australia. We are also very active in the Philippine-Australian Marching Band and Talents Organisation; (PAMBATO) Inc.

In addition, Celine and Jessica are both members of the award winning St. Francis of Assisi Junior/Senior Choir. But the activity closest to their heart is Ice-Skating. It is the only activity that will get them off their bed at 5:00am on a Saturday. Fortunately for them, their ice skating skill have progressed to a level where a Saturday training in a public skating session is already crowded. Their coach moved the training schedule to a Thursday afternoon in a session limited only for trainees.

Sundays afternoon of course is reserved for band practice. Celine plays in the clarinet section, Jessica in the flute and I play as second alto saxophone. There are over 50 members of our band and slowly gaining popularity in the Olympic City. Watch out for our calendar of events on the schedule of public performances of our band.

We hope you will enjoy our pages and please e-mail us with your comments or updates. If you are related, we would like to hear from you.We maintain a database of our family tree, and we would love to add you to the growing list.
