Para sa kanyang 50th birthday, nagtulungan kami ni Joseph ng Patnubay Saudi mangulekta ng samu’t saring pagtingin ng ilang OFWs at ka-network ng CMA. Maaring makatulong sa kanyang paglilimi sa nakaraang 50 taon gayundin sa kanyang pag-aninag sa mga susunod pang mga taon.

I am 37 years old, a proud mother, and a newbie in blogosphere. I write about my hidden feelings, pain, dreams, and other personal matters. My personality reflects on my blogs. It’s good when people come to visit my blog site and leave comments as if they were able to connect with me.
