Happy Birthday Victor

Victor Montaño celebrated his birthday yesterday - May 9

Ambush Reunion at Junie's House

Ambush Reunion at Our House. The raiders arrived around 7 pm on May 4, 2005, over an hour after I received the call that they're coming and about an hour after I frantically searched every nook and corner of our marketplace for something special to prepare for these VIPs. Here, they're inside our house, taking a tour of our blogspot site. **Junie**

Dinner got served around 8:45 pm. Nakatsamba c Henri. Masiramon an inadobo niya na kulambutan (cuttlefish). And to think na nabasa lang nya kun pan-o an pagluto! 

After dinner, we proceeded to Rizal Beach. Over bottles of beer, Dave shared to an unbelieving Eric his "wild days." 

Henri is never known to say much about himself. But in this particular get-together, he allowed us to take a peek into his soul. Here he is shown passionately recounting the events that led to a failed marriage. No regrets, though, he said. In fact, he has moved on and is already seeing someone else, a childhood sweetheart. **Junie 

Happy Birthday Wiron!

Henri Arnulfo Estiller Deri Revisited

(Sometime in April, Henri upon my prodding promised to post his life story in this site. So here it is, unedited. ---Junie)

1987—After six years in the seminary, I finally had the courage to leave. At first, I asked permission to be on a regency for a semester so I enrolled in Colegio de la Milagrosa. I took up Bachelor of Arts major in Social Sciences and Theology in Sta Isabel Manila where the males are in minority. Some of my instructors there are former nuns and two priests.

1990-1995—I taught at the Higher Education Department of Colegio de la Milagrosa now St. Louise de Marillac College of Sorsogon.

1996-1997—I tried my hat as newscaster/broadcaster for a local TV station. I did not stay long. Magastuhon sa bado.

1998-2000--I entered government service and was assigned in Cebu City as Personnel Manager , later as Administrative Officer. After a short stint in Cebu City, I left and joined YMCA and was assigned as Administrator for the province of Sorsogon. So here I am to stay.

By the way I will need all your support come 2007 where I will run for local office in the municipality of Gubat.
