whoa, today i'm zesty! like salsa! i like the new format, guys- and i like being able to see who's an 'active user.' i took heather to her camp; in mommy's car, no less. kevin gets back on tuesday. my dad emailed me from the Philippines!! here's what he wrote, but first, here's what I wrote: don't they have computers in the Philippines?! geez, we've all been waiting for word from you; like a "hey kids! i got here in one piece and the weather is terrible!" -nicky ---and his reply was--- Hi sweety, well I'm here in one piece, barely and the weather is terrible. It's starting to rain a lot here. Already some roads are flodded and you have to transfer from your car to a banca boat to continue. we did that a few days ago when we visited Presile's uncle fish far, I'm sorry i didn't write sooner, but there has been a lot to do since i've arrived. I've taken many trips to manila frm here already. I live in a town called macabebe in the province of pampanga.....we have a joke here ,, it goes like thisd....."How long does it take to Macabebe" ha ha ha everyone speaks englishs here....amazing. Anyway, Presile is for real. She realy is a lawyer (GULP) and has a lot of lawyer friends and even some judges....I saw her give a tralk yesterday, she is a very good speaker, very dynamic....holds everyone's attention.....and she's funny too. We've decided to get married (Gee what a surprise) so we're sending out invitations etc....we've rented a nice venue for the event and it looks like a big time occasion.....she's pretty much paying for it as i came with little money. she buys me shoes and things....she says she loves me. I can't understand it but i'm happy about it. She's buyibng the rings too. I've been shooting some video and after i've loaded the necessary software to up;load it in the comp. (Haven't had time to do that yet. see....very busy) I'll send you some pics.... oh yeah, I've been going to the dentist....another two weeksa and it's all done...yeyyyy.... i hear you have dsl....why not load up yahoo messenger service so we can chat ? Love you, Daddy...
