I would like to welcome my childhood friend Evangeline "Vangie" from Mindanao. She is not from Bohol, so I would like to ask your forbearance for this intro to explain how she came upon TB.
We were practically next-door neighbors in Wao, Lanao del Sur. Being her age and gender, my two older sisters were her playmates. Because of the persistent strife in our hometown, we were sent by our parents for schooling in Cagayan de Oro where city life cut short that neighborly interaction and we met only during school vacations. It was actually like, I last saw her as a girl and when we came across each other again, she was already a woman. As fate would have it, that last time was when I was leaving for Japan and she for the U.S.
By chance, we came across each other again at Bob Martin's Mindanao blog, particularly Wao travel blog. I was the first Waonian to leave a comment there two years ago, when I was on the verge of a decision to bring my family back to the Philippines. Since then, many old friends and acquaintances from different parts of the globe have discovered that site, including Vangie. Since there are more than 20 years of catching up to do, I just provided a link to my travel posts in this forum to update them of the latest events in my family. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Vangie also decided to sign up here, since she has many Boholano friends in the U.S.
Vangie, please feel free to share your views and comments with us. We really look forward to your Boholano friends to enliven the exchange here. I was actually thinking of asking our webmaster Mike to make a similar forum for us Waonians. Meanwhile, enjoy your stay...
