The exciting oysters!!
We never have an agenda. We simply start with great food chosen by Cora Oriel Ted Benito Maryjane Southerling Saldana Mina Layba Nathan Glenn myself or Rex Sampaga. Hubby shows up every now and then and if Roger Oriel is in town, he joins us. Last time he joined us at a paella place and another time, Kuya Lord.
Conversations meander all over the world and Glenn starts riotously, encouraged by Ted. Cora takes us back to sharing more stories and pretty soon, we all find humor in the dishes being served.
We go outdoors and share more stories. By the time we end it has been 4 or 5 hours of fellowship. Non-stop laughing, finding joy in our own reminiscing of our own past and sharing most importantly, our future plans and to help plan for more of life to be lived.
The best saying came from Ted:”I am only successful if the community benefits from it.” Imagine that community-mindedness!
I shared what I learned from Komos:”You should do good while you are living well.” The story ended with this luxury tequila maker who sends employees to become scholars, recycles agave husks to become biofuel pellets, pallets to transport their products and construction bricks to build schools and women’s shelter, that evening’s dinner was courtesy of Benel Se-Liban and Cris Liban, a night ago.
Find the good, do good for others and contribute to the joy-making each day!
Thanks for coming with me, dear love of my life Enrique de la Cruz. I love you all!
Last five photos #11 to #15 came from Mina Layba, a better photographer than I am.
