while a snowfall is one of the most beautiful sights of nature, a tropical rain is just as riveting. my christmas will be green this year, and i don't have to wait for it because it is already here.

kining snow maayo lang kung picture. being in its midst is another thing. motingog ang dunggan, mohapdos ang tutonlan, mapuwa ang ilong, numb ang tiil ug kamot, and when the temperature rises above zero and the snow melts, lapok intawon; then suddenly the temperature goes down and the melted snow freezes over again, asows, sayon ra ang dakdak. so yes, i am thankful for wherever i would be this christmas, be it white, green or brown, as long as i'm with family and friends.

Mao ba? He he he, i can't help but smile at the situation, Anna. Some 100 years ago, my Lolo Mariano left Guangdong, China for the Philippines in the search for a better future in Bohol. 100 some years later, Bai Bugsay left Bohol for Guangdong, China.

Interesting gayod ang times noh? It shows us that we all are immigrants in our own ways. When Lolo Mariano left China for Philippies, he gave up his old identity and assimilated into the host society in Philippines. By moving to the United States, I feel like I am doing the same thing as my Lolo Mariano. Immigrant nature gayod.

Tho I ever knew him or met him personally, I feel close to him in knowing that we both chose to go abroad ...in search of a better future!

My grandmother was fluent in Cantonese and Hakka. When I left for USA , the last thing my Lola whispered to was "Ngo oi neei". It means , "I love you...".

I miss her.

Hehehe! how cute! My lolo mariano took my lola and lola's 3 other siblings back to China (sa guangdong) in the 1930s. They lived there for almost 5 years daw. Ning balik sila tanan sa Bohol because ang asawa ni Lolo Mariano, ahoang great grandmother gimingaw sa Valencia. That is why , in the words of Dr. Plinio Lim, a former mayor of Valencia and a good friend of my grand mother, "When your Lola Nating came back to Valencia, she did not even know how to speak in Bisaya. Only Chinese. Nag ininchik to siya duro, doy!"

hehehe!

My Lola Nating is 100% Han. Chinese mestiza si Mommy. Naa gani mi ug old documents and address of Lolo Mariano's family members sa unang panahon. Pero, ang problema di na mi kahibalo og naa pa ba ang ilang old house.

My grand-uncle, si Ceciliano Tan, the younger brother of my Lola Nating, went to Fujian University. He died while he was studying there, Anna. Gi lubog sija sa family grave plot sa mama ug papa sa ahoang Lolo Mariano.

This was back in 1946 or 1947 ba toh...

His death was a catastrophic loss for my great grand father. He was his favorite child, his eldest son man gud...
