Daughter of My Mother's People

After 2 weeks of blog incognito, I am finally writing a new entry. Things have been kind of crazy at work with me getting a lot of front desk experience culminating with a day spent at the Budget airport location which is the busiest location in the system. That experience alone has upped my confidence and I would believe competency at that aspect of the job. And we all know competency = sales = more money! One of my contracts along brought in $700 + on top of the rental cost which made my boss super uber happy!

In other news, I finally made it out to Banff on a solo trip this past weekend. I must say that I am even more in love with it than I was when I first visited in 2005 for my college buddy’s wedding (Blanche and Eddie). I also got to take the Nissan which was weirdly cool to take “my car” on that trip. Man how far we have come!

I want to thank Vilma for hooking me up with the suite at the Fox Resort. Ynah for making me feel at home with the all the local Flips. Reeza for inviting me to her birthday party. Sharmane, Joe, Ja Jan ad Je for starting it all. Jill, Ate Daisy and Tita Ledia for supervising. And of course “Mary” Tes: your smile wins me every time!

I didn’t realize how much I missed hanging out with my parent’s people till I got to spend time with these wonderful folks. There are a lot of Filipinos in Banff who are connected to the booming hospitality industry. They’ve developed quite the reputation of being hardworking and industrious… definitely something to be proud of. In a way I feel I’ve found a lost tribe of WBFM members. (Those of you who know what I’m taking about are probably members too. I love and miss you guys so much!)



So Lily rocked it at Janice’s wedding! I’m proud of my little sister and all that she has faced and overcome. But probably the most important accomplishment she has done and is still doing is being a mom to my nephew Calvin. On a side note, I’m still laughing about how some people need to just live their life decisions and not drown them out with the bottle. Suck it up dude, we all have too at some point! I know I am out here and that crap will just slow or destroy what can be a positive process. But I’ll leave it at that.

Oh yes and Chris rocked it while chillin with NKTOB! I'm so happy for you and you totally are with that celebrity status vibe.

Anyway I’m focusing on December and taking what I’ve learned about my body and really applying it in the next few months. I want to close out the year feeling like I made significant progress in my health goals. With God’s help it all possible.

Stay tuned… The saga of Romil is far from over.
