Major Updates 2, Mariko and Lani

Yesterday I posted the following on Facebook:

"First thing tomorrow I'll finish a post in my blog and I'M NOT GOING TO LOGIN TO FB."

You see I blame Facebook as one of the reasons that I've been lagging on my blog posts. As I've replied on my post above, once I login to FB, I get stuck there and can't or won't do anything else. That's how addictive Facebook is for me. But I'm proud of myself since I finished my blog post before this, as promised. And I'm now starting on this one!

WooHoo!

Mariko's 2nd US Visit, Jan 2010

My first cousin, Atching Nida, has a daughter, Mariko, from her Japanese ex-husband and she lives in Japan. In January of 2010, she made her 2nd visit to California. She previously visited several years ago when she was much younger. It just feels sort of strange to have a Japanese relative somehow. But then again, I have a Japanese daughter-in-law so I should just get used to it.

Here is Mariko at Cong Raf's place in Bellflower.

Lani's Visit, June 2010

My niece Lani, (Cong Romy's oldest daughter) who lives with her family in Missouri somewhere took some time off in June of 2010 to meet us here in California for the first time. She stayed at Cong Mansing's place and the pictures below were taken when we met her at Homer's house in Downey and the day Atching Lori treated us for lunch.



Lance, Roland's younger son, was still a baby then.

That's two blog posts in a row. Now I can take a break and visit Facebook!
Yay!
