Aia's Graduation & Philippine Trip 2006

Sorry it took this long, I would normally have posted these by now but it was so difficult to get back to the reality of being away from home again (got spoiled).  I needed more than a week for it to finally sink-in.  Enjoy the pictures.  I did not include much of myself as I am not that photogenic and the Boracay island pictures do not show too much skin as we were too afraid to show-off our "hindi" pang-Boracay figures.  We miss you ALL and thanks for all your hospitality, generosity and most of all

the FRIENDSHIP & the LAUGHTER!

P.S. Makati Shangrila dinner pics & pictures with Manny Paquioa to follow.

Paging Mia, please email them to me when you get the chance.
