Summer Journey 0f The Tale Of Juliet

• Orlando Florida – Attended Mega Book Marketing University where 500 different authors from all over the world were present. Some of them are well best selling authors, literary agents and publishing gurus like Barbara De Angelis, Richard Paul Evans, Jillian Manus, Dan Poynter, Rick Frishman, Armand Morin, Marc Victory Hansen himself and many others. I am thankful for new friends and associates I have met.
  
  
• Japan – I traveled with my youngest daughter Catherine. It was both our first time in Japan. Spoke to Filipino community and church leaders and to Philippine National Bank officials and staff. Enjoyed the hospitality of new found friends and kind-hearted people such as Maritoni’s family and friends Leah, Joy, John, Sister, Deacon and many others. We also had a chance to tour around busy Tokyo in the guidance of our tour guide Deacon. Short and sweet visit it was! We will definately be back.
  
  
• Philippines – Catherine and I traveled in some remote areas – Batangas, Bicol region and Baguio City. It has been rewarding experience to be invited to speak to different schools, Summit of school principals, teachers and youth leaders, the Senate, several Rotary Clubs and in seminars sometimes with audience of up to 3,000 people. I must say hats off to our 16 year old daughter Catherine who spent her whole summer following her mother around, opening our hearts to people and new places we visited, experiencing rainy tropical weather, storms, a flood, lightning and thunderstorms, no aircon under 40 degrees hot nights and no running water. I feel so proud of her when at one point she was officially introducing me to over a thousand people in the audience (Thanks to coaching and inspiration from Anthony Pangilinan) She also had fond memories meeting some young famous artists of ABS-CBN, also an honor to meet Gary Valenciano, Gabriel Valenciano, and Christian Bautista. My sincere Gratitude to many people that have helped me pass on the message of The Tale Of Juliet. Too many to mention, you know who you are – Carmen, Atty. San Buenaventura, Jay Tambunting, Ed Pelaez, and many more
  
  
• After four long weeks on the road, I came back to home Canada to the loving arms of Michelle, Ted, Mary Ann and yes our black 100lb Labrador “sneakers”. Immense gratitude to staff of Digi-print – all is well! Thanks be to God.
  
  
• I have barely unpacked less than 24hours later, we took off to our most awaited Family Fun Holiday – Orlando, Florida, USA. We visited our friends Richard and Geri Calais whom I haven’t seen for 9 long years. Richard and I used to worked together in Yemen Arab Republic where some part of my “charmed” life has begun. Upon arrival Geri announced Mark Victor Hansen and Art Linkletter are both in town promoting their book “Live The Rest of Your Life the Best of Your Life”. I seized the opportunity to see Mark once again, although I have seen him already 4 weeks prior to that in Mega Book Marketing University. My children had the opportunity to finally meet and hug Mark Victor Hansen who inspired and mentored me to write “The Tale Of Juliet”.
  
  
• The Happiest Place on Earth. My admiration to Walt Disney for the realization of his dream come true – DISNEYWORLD! For living a legacy for the rest of the world to see and enjoy. Our family had been so fortunate to have visited Disneyland five times and Disneyworld for the second time – and really you will never get tired of going back there over and over again. There are lots to see and experience.
