Nostalgia

Somewhat felt nostalgic seeing this picture of newspaper clippings from my GDrive. I was inspired to work because I have supportive editors. And this award inspired me, even more, to give my best shot in everything I do for the job I love. How time flies.

My former job brought so many unforgettable memories. One of which was my interview with Psychic Stargazer at the Ultra gate in Pasig City. In the middle of the interview, Star uttered a prayer for those who perished at the stampede that occurred in the area in 2006. She said the victims need prayers to walk into the light and move on.

Stargazer, who began her formal training in psychic readings decades ago, said that seers like her just relay signs from God. She considers herself as the link between the living and the dead. Seeing spirits and communicating with them is one of the things she was able to hone as a young child.

Flashback Friday: Meeting with National Artist Eddie Romero

From left to right: Former PJI President Rudy Romero; his older brother Director Eddie Romero, who was then PJI Chairman of the Board; my husband N, then MIS manager; and yours truly.

This rare moment with the National Artist Eddie Romero was captured on camera in 1999 at the Philippine Journalists, Inc. office in Port Area, Manila.

The Romero brothers were visiting each office, including the Management Information System (MIS), at the time. Hubby, who was then heading the MIS office, introduced me to the bosses.

I was pregnant with our second child here and sharing a computer with one of the MIS staff.

Mr. Eddie Romero was declared as National Artist of the Philippines in 2003. He was known for directing, producing, and writing several movies from the 1940s to 2006. Source: Wikipedia
