Tito Toto

Another sad news reached our home.

Nanay's eldest brother, Emilio Arboleda, Jr. or Tito Toto has died last November 18, 2007. I have regular contacts with him, since his wife Tita Nita is a patient of mine, having operated on her both eyes for glaucoma.

His dedication to his family is truly unremarkable, he always accompany Tita to her appointments in the clinic, and during family reunions, he always say the funniest jokes.

He will be truly missed.

Tagaytay 2007

The family spent a 3 day vacation in Taal Vista Hotel last October 19-21, 2007. The kids enjoyed their stay. Zia had lots of running space to go around, Enzo enjoyed the cold weather. Judith enjoyed the break from work, I enjoyed their enjoyment.






Tito Ben

One part of the Tahanan ng mga Perez has left.

My Tito Ben died after more than 2 months of lingering illness last October 18, 2007. He was buried last October 25, 2007 in Makati Municipal Cemetery.

As an alaga, he was the one who taught me basic rules of basketball, he introduced me to the NBA when I was in my elementary days, he gave me stories about the pillars of boxing during the 60's and 70's. Siya rin lagi ang nag-aalaga hindi lang sa akin kundi sa iba ko pang kapatid at ibang pinsan.

We all salute you, Tito. Rest in peace.

Tatay at Nanay

My parents are back in the Philippines!
They arrived last week, I fetched them at the airport. They look trim and healthy.

Their trip from Canada was uneventful, and they arrived just rightly, when the weather here improved, no more rains.

From the airport, we proceeded to Makati, and they have a wonderful reception from Lola, Tita Madre, Jing, Noli and the kids. Lola cried, saying those were tears of joy. After lunch, I accompanied them to Ospital ng Makati, where Tito Ben was confined. This was also one of the reason why they have traveled much earlier compared to their original plan of going here before Christmas time. Tito Ben was still very weak, but was quite glad when he saw Tatay and Nanay.

On their first weekend, the whole family went to dinner in one of the "market restaurants" in Pasay - me and Judith were there, Noli and Jing's kids were there, Bado, Lare and Alicia also were there. The food was great, and we all had a great time. We wished that Jay and Biboy were also there. I'll post pictures soon.

Then Tatay and Nanay finally settled in Las Pinas. They were glad that they're finally home. Tatay congratulated Judith for taking good care of the house, and of course, they were very eager to see Zia and Enzo for the first time.

The succeeding days were not as good, Nanay has started to have some asthma problems again (which she did not have when she was in Canada), and Tatay had some flu and diarrhea. Jet lag is still a problem, compounding the issue.

All in all, I am happy that I am again in the company of my parents. They are planning to be here until the first quarter of 2008.

Nice!
