lolo soc's motorized necktie organizer

who remembers hiding in lolo's cabinet? do you remember the turning thingy for his neckties? at that time, that was the most hi-tech thing i have ever seen in my life. i also thought their then newly-renovated bathroom was a special place.

how about the flower soap of lola in a tall bottle? i felt that those rose shapedcolored soap bars were the most luxurious thing in the world! well for those who have migrated early, i have news for you--nandoon pa yung mga flower soap at wala na siyang amoy.

one thing i keep telling my kids, when we were all in lolo/lola's house, we could know who was in the room by the slippers outside the door.

i was so sad to leave manila last year because nothing will replace the broadway years. medyo dwindling na nga kami noon as there were more people in new jersey than in broadway. but guess what? though broadway will never be replaced, i have found new bonds with cousins in the east and in the west. i realized how kind and generous they all were. marijo helped me out with free milk for monica and lia, mayoy, and ched and the rest of the new jersey connection sent me coats and summer clothes for the kids!

mabuhay ang bonds natin!
