Subject: Sabado Night

I'M BACK! WELL EXCEPTIONALLY, MY SABADO NIGHT EDITION WILL COME OUT ON A LINGGO NIGHT! I HAD TO WORK THIS MORNING KAYA I HAD TO SLEEP EARLY LAST NIGHT.

WHAT A RELIEF TO HAVE SOMETHING TO EXPRESS OURSELVES AGAIN: PAST EXPERIENCES, VIEWS, PLANS AND MOST SPECIALLY PHOTOS OF THE PAST AND OF THE PRESENT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I MISSED IT A LOT.

WHAT DID I DO THEN DURING THIS MONTHS OF ABSENCE. EASY, HERE IN FRANCE, YOU WILL NEVER RUN OF THINGS TO DO; MY JOB IS TAKING A LOT OF MY TIME PERO I MANAGE TO RESERVE PRECIOUS TIME FOR MY KIDS. MY DAUGHTER CHINA HAS VERY LONG HAIR, LAGPAS PUWIT ANG HABA KAYA I LEARNED TO DO STYLES ON HER. MY SON NYLAN IS LEARNING LIFE'S WONDERS KAYA HE WOULD ASK ME DIFFERENT QUESTIONS LIKE "WHY IS THE SKY BLUE" AND "HOW DO PEOPLE MAKE LOVE" KAYA MAY I RESEARCH AKO SA LAHAT NG ENCYCLOPEDIA TO ANSWER HIS QUESTIONS (MOST OF THE TIME EMBARASSING). BUT MOST OF THE TIME, TINUTURUAN KO SILANG MAG ENGLISH KASI UP TO NOW MALAKAS ANG REFUSAL TO LEARN IT KASI BA NAMAN AT SCHOOL, NO ONE SPEAKS ENGLISH, ONLY FRENCH.

NATUTO RIN AKONG MAG SMALL REPAIRS OF MY CAR, MAG CARPENTRY WORKS, PATI PAGGAGANTSILYO AT PAGBURDA INARAL KO NA RIN.

MARAMI ANG NAGTATANONG O NAGTATAKA KUNG ANO ANG GINAGAWA KO RITO SA FRANCE (MOST PINOYS ARE IN THE US OR CANADA)? TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION ONCE AND FOR ALL: I WORKED AT THE CULTURAL CENTER OF THE PHILIPPINES AS INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS OFFICER. I DID INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL EXCHANGE AGREEMENT PROJECTS WITH VARIOUS COUNTRIES. MY SPECIALTY THEN (BY PREFERENCE OF COURSE) WAS EUROPE. MEDYO TSIKA KO ANG MGA FOREIGN AMBASSADORS IN THE PHILIPPINES KAYA MEDYO SUCCESFUL ANG MGA PROJECTS KO NUON. I DID A NUMBER OF PERFORMING ARTS FESTIVALS IN FRANCE AND IN ONE OF THEM, I WAS ASSIGNED AN INTERPRETER WHO TOOK CARE OF ME DURING THE TRIP. TEKA MUNA, NOT TOO FAST, NOTHING HAPPENED THAT TIME. WHEN I CAME BACK TO FRANCE A MONTH LATER THAT I DECIDED TO RENEW CONTACTS WITH HER. AND THE LONG STORY BEGAN FROM THERE. HER NAME IS KARINE SANTOS NEE CHARPENTIER.

I AM NOW EMPLOYED AS TRAINING OFFICER AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT (QUALITY) OFFICER OF A PRIVATE COMPANY HERE AT PARIS AIRPORT. IT WAS NOT EASY TO ARRIVE WHERE I AM NOW KASI WHEN I ARRIVED IN FRANCE, HINDI AKO MARUNONG MAG FRENCH. KAYA THEN NO CHOICE I CONTINUED TO GET CONTRACT ALL OVER EUROPE (SPECIAL PROJECTS, STAGE DIRECTING, ETC). THIS CONTRACTS OBLIGED ME TO STAY AWAY FROM MY WIFE (WHO WAS ALREADY EMPLOYED AT THE AIRPORT) FOR WEEKS OR EVEN FOR MONTHS. THIS DID NOT LAST LONG KASI MY WIFE GAVE ME AN ULTIMATUM TO SETTLE DOWN IN FRANCE OR ELSE. SO I LOOKED HARD FOR AN ENGLISH SPEAKING JOB IN FRANCE TILL I FOUND THIS ONE. WORKED HARD TO PROVE MYSELF, GRABBED EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE MY WORK AND MY FRENCH. SO NGAYON MEDYO MAY FOUNDATION NA RIN AKO. I AM STILL STRUGGLING AS LIFE IS A CONTINOUS EDUCATION. MARAMI PA RING TRIALS AND OBSTACLES, PATATAGAN NA LANG.

FOR THE NEXT SABADO NIGHT STORY, MORE EXCITING NEWS! SEE YOU!
