Lego was one of the other toys that Thaad enjoyed the most as a little boy in the Philippines. Lego was more expensive so when we came to the US, I agreed to have him bring his Lego. Once, a friend of Bong from the office learned that he has a son who likes Lego, she volunteered to give a set that her son never opened. Assembling this castle took him a while. Lolo Buddy was visiting us for Christmas with Lola Fe and he helped him a little bit with the castle but Thaad did most of the work. Later, he overgrew with the Lego and handed them down to cousin Andrew.

Thaad was a fan of Batman. He had a few Batman toys but left all of them with his cousins in the Philippines because I promised that we will buy new ones when we get to the US.... and this is the only one I bought him... and then he moved on to Pokemon.... then Yu-gi-oh...

Gem & Jas both went to St. Michael's College in Iligan for their elementary education, although they both did not graduate from the same because we had to move to Manila to be with Bong, who was already working for OnLine Phil., where they continued to go to school in San Lorenzo Ruiz in Paranaque. After a year, we came to the US.

Our ever reliable Suzuki... Bong's ride to work and our ride everywhere else. In front and on the gas tank would be Gem and Jas. Seated next would be Bong, the driver. Then Thaad and myself. We all fit... until the kids grew bigger than me.

I found this old photograph with the Ocampos. This was a pose for remembrance before the Ocampos left Iligan (and us) for Cananda. Who knew that our paths would cross again? Friends forever?
Not in picture: Bong-he was the one taking the picture; and Keith-he was not yet even made.

Our first pumpkin carving experience. I settled for the more traditional pumpkin face while Thaad did a more complicated one. Done about three days before Halloween, they decorated our porch. With a lighted tea candle on each of them, they glowed during the evenings. We were proud of our work.... until Halloween, when the pumpkins were so dried up and were no longer shiny.
