WELCOME TO MY SITE AND HAVE A GOOD DAY

If this is your first time in this site, welcome. It has been my dream that my province, Marinduque, Philippines becomes a world tourist destination not only during Easter Week but also whole year round. You can help me achieve my dream by telling your friends about this site. The photo above is your own private beach at The Chateau Du Mer Beach Resort. The sand is not as white as Boracay, but it is only a few steps from your front yard and away from the mayhem and crowds of Boracay. I have posted some of my favorite Filipino and American dishes and recipes on this site also. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on infringement of your copyrights. Cheers!

The Other Women Who Have Touched My Life

This is my response to the inquiry on the other women who have touched my life for the StoryWorth Book of Memories. The following photos are some of the other women that have touched my life besides my Mother ( Paz Barrido Balleza Katague-RIP) and my spouse for over 63 years ( Macrine(a) Nieva Jambalos (RIP).

These photos are not deepfakes( my article the other day) but real from my extensive photo collection compiled for the last 4 decades.

Last but not least my Nanny: I do not have a photo of my yaya (nanny), who took care of me when I was 2 years old( a polio victim) until I turned 7 years old. When the Japanese-American war started in 1941, we have to move from the city to the ancestral town of my mother in Barotac Viejo, Iloilo. It is still fresh in my memory how overprotected my Nanny was. She will not permit me to play with the other children in the neighborhood, because they were dirty and rough. I remember her to be in her 50's and a large woman but with a gentle voice. I cried for days when we she was not able to join us and she had to go back to her own hometown.  The day we separated was the last time I heard of her!!
