Update on Tita Chit with a new photo

Hello, dear cousins!

Tita Pacita is now staying in Tower Grange Nursing Home (Bec’s place of work) which is about 15-20 minutes brisk walk from my house. Pero kung si Mila and Vin and maglalakad from my place, 1 hour dahil sa edad.

After my heart palpitated and got sick (in the mind?), the doctor advised me to rest for a while, hence brought Tita Pacita to the respite hospital for 2 weeks, then to the present nursing home where she is staying. She is well taken care of there as Becs is one of the nurse there.

Tower Grange Nursing home contact is 9544 8167 connect to GRANGE then tell the head nurse (Sister) you want to talk with PACITA Castro.

The sister has a portable phone to give Tita Chit.

Ciao and magluluto pa ako,
Benjie

PS paki-desimminate na lang sa other relatives and mom’s 2 surviving sisters.

The much needed vacation

I’ve been busy with projects that I can only do on weekends and have not been able to join Vic in seeing Mommy Gloria lately. So for the past three weekends, I've been going to church by myself but at least Vic can still find the time to continue his regular visits and Mom can still go to mass and that’s what’s more important. I promise to make it up with her as soon as my projects ease up. Anyway, we have long before scheduled a week vacation next week plus we will be attending the SCRC Convention. Vic and I need this time off badly. We’ve been so tired and stressed for so long and the plan to take time off is long overdue. We need a quiet time together doing nothing, just absolutely nothing. Just allow our body and mind to refresh and get energized. We have not done this in a long time and we both are looking forward to it. For healthier body and mind, dear everyone, please do try to relax too and I mean r-e-l-a-x for your health sake.

Happy Birthday Albert and Joshua!

Last Sunday, we joined Albert and Joshua in celebrating their birthdays. There were many friends and relatives from Grace's side but from the Samson clan, only Vic, Mom, Dida and I were able to attend. The food was great as usual and we ate a lot.
