Ted, Sylvia and Sean[to be continued later as I'm going to the Luce now to watch a play called 'Art']

Dear Ted,Teehhhd! Sure ka you're gonna leave us na? As in, you think you can stand the cold, cold winters in Minnesota and the layers and layers of clothing that you have to wear each time you step out your door? And did you know you have to clean your own bathrooms in America? As well as shovel your driveway, cut your grass, actually paint your own house or build your own cabinets and practically do-it-yourself everything? And did you know that nannies there cost a fortune?
So what if there you can earn in one day your entire month salary here in the Pinas? So what if everything is automated and bar-coded and card-chargeable there? Do you think you can find such wonderful workmates like us here? Do you think you can find a pedicab there that will deliver you to the doorstep of wherever you want to go? And I'm telling you there are no sari-sari stores there where you can buy a flat of mantika, in case you run out of kitchen staples. So what if Sean will probably like Disneyland more than our fiesta carnival here? So what if the president(-elect) there is smarter than the smartass presidents elsewhere? So what if the hospitals there are truly cutting edge and state of the art?
Do you really think you can just pack your backs and fly away and have an awesome adventure in that strange land with your family? Do you really think that when you leave we will never forget you? Do you really think that even as we will miss you, Ebyang and Sean2x terribly, we also wish you the very, very best?
If so, then go. Larga. Ayaw pahawid. Lupad.
Yours truly,
Doc.
(p.s. size 6 ako tiil, ha.)
(p.s.2 while you're away, i volunteer to "safeguard" your many, many novels. ako ray bantay sa imong mga books. in other words, leave your books with me, yeah!)

hi vicki,
yes, that beach house in sibulan is for rent.
this "letter" is actually a sort of komedya dalang tinuod, ba. though we'll miss him, we're actually glad that ted was able to get a job in minnesota even at this time when there is a recession in america. and that he will be bringing his wife and son with him. pait kaayo kung mahibilin sila.
bitaw, dili lalim ang plete, especially kung daghan mo. maybe you can take a short vacation alone, anyway dagko na man ang kids, di ba?
Another morning.

let's thank the Lord
for giving us another chance
to enjoy His blessings!

puti or itom or pula....lol
panit, cloth, moka---or boots....
bitaw, ang shoe size, hehehe. didto sa beach, i heard everybody was telling ted their shoe sizes, binuang ra gud, kay magpadala lagi ug sapatos nga gikan sa USA (unya made in China or Asia diay to). So mao ni, ni-apil-apil pud ko sulti sa ako shoe size. jowk!
ug ang books, si ted is fond of reading and has a wide collection of books. sige ko niya pahulamon ug novels to read. so ako siya gikomedyahan nga ibilin lang sa akoa ang iyang plenty plenty books. kay unya ug kitkiton sa r-a-t. di ba.
thanks doc... your comments made me smile today... hahahaha! but then again, i need new challenges that can push me to the limit..i love looking forward, make tougher decisions, and lay a print in this world or die trying... as francis Kong would say and i quote " life is about perspectives" ,"Early bird gets the worm,the second mouse gets the cheese"....(points to ponder perhaps?)
ted
bitaw, makamoot kaayo.
shoes....namoot kay ga-SALE, sukod dayon kay barato na....paglantaw sa dis-a gama....kay made China or Philippines man na....
like VANZ n GAP....sus ingon dayon kim, ay di ko, palit nalang ko pinas ug daghan kaayo......iyang 50euro daw, maka palit na cya ug 2....whereas here, kulang pa iyang 50euro sa 1 pair.....
mao nga kung mouli bya mi dha, dha mi palit ug shoes, really...basta sa good store paliton.......barato pa kay sa diri.
tingala gyd ko, gusto nato-dha, gikan sa gawas-pinas, pro lantawon asa gawa, dha or asia.....

Hi Ted,
good luck......
"A person can make plans about the things that he wants to do.
But it is the Lord who decides what will happen.
Always turn to the Lord for help in everything you do, and you will be successful.
A person who trusts in the Lord will be blessed."
God bless

Go for it, Ted!
Godspeed to you and your family.
Whoohoo!
