I was back only once in 1992, I have never found the time to go again (esp. with my husband and kids (2 girls). About the narra display cases, they were wonderful. For a while now I have been obsessing with another narra creation. the capiz window panes. i think i have about 7 panels of them, and i don;t know what to do with them too. i have a wood carver friend that i asked to make something out of them, but he wanted to cut them to pieces. i felt like he would be cutting me to pieces to. so these beauties are just standing straight out along my walls. smiling at me.

Probably the same reason Mexicans never get Montezuma's revenge and everybody else does! Speaking of reasons: The reason I like to go back to Manila rather than anywhere else is because of you "iwanbayans" (love the word). I don't go back to meet Balikbayans who seem to have developed "the attitude", they waste my time. I once bought a Sampaguita garland from a street boy and when I asked how life was for him, he said, "Ok lang sir. I make a bit of money and we can eat and we are OK lang". He wasn't downtrodden, there was no hopelessness, he didn't say "Pity me". He was brave, he would do the best he can which is OK lang. And then he said "Here, let me pick the best one for you". He gave me a "sales" job! He made me feel good about buying from him. You gotta love that spirit. I bet he's doing better than OK lang by now. I'll be back with the iwanbayans soon and for a long time this time. Trust me, I'm missing you. Great observation, Cecil J.
