This happens every single day in my world: It is daylight here in Vista, California and my beautiful fiancee is sleeping under the Philippine early dawn. July 1st this all will begin to change. We will no longer be subject to the different time zones, conflicting schedules, or expensive long distance charges that we are now confronting. Paulyn...you are worth this and many more sacrifices, but it's time I get off my butt and catch that airplane to Manila. Passport? New one will be here before you know it.

This is my attempt to bid farewell friends, collegues, former classmates, and family. I will miss you dearly and expect that you will miss me too. Mom, Dad, Christie...love you and will miss you. Call me! There is a beautiful island by the name of Boracay and from what I understand, the golfing is superb! We will meet you there!

As for the party guys - why not! For all of those that read this and have the opinion that I am quiting school or giving up something, you haven't met my Pinay! My education will continue exactly where I left it off. In the fall, somewhere I will be sitting in a classroom or in a laboratory disecting something or preparing for an exam. That you have Paulyn to thank for...she insists.

Do not be sad or cry for me! Instead, be happy...I am!

Love to all...
