Welcome to My Site

If this is your first visit, welcome! This site is devoted to my life experiences as a Filipino-American who immigrated from the Philippines to the United States in 1960. I came to the US as a graduate student when I was 26 years old. I am now in my mid-80's and thanks God for his blessings, I have four successful and professional children and six grandchildren here in the US. My wife and I had been enjoying the snow bird lifestyle between US and Philippines after my retirement from USFDA in 2002. Macrine(RIP),Me and my oldest son are the Intellectual migrants. Were were born in the Philippines, came to the US in 1960 and later became US citizens in 1972. Some of the photos and videos in this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on infringing on your copyrights. Cheers!

Macrine's Physical Therapy Sessions and Her Home Health Aides


Blossom Ridge Home Health provides physical therapy services for Macrine three times a week. I am pleased with the services of Crystal, the physical therapist assigned to Macrine ( see photo). Crystal has a doctorate degree in Physical Therapy. She is very knowledgeable with a very pleasant personality and really care for her patients. Also in the photo is Mele (Tonga-American), one of the four home health aides that David and I hired to help us take care of Macrine's needs.

There are days when Macrine feel good and she can walk more than 75 feet around the house. However, there are days when she could barely stand.

The physical therapy session has really helped her strengthen her legs muscles. The goal would be that she can walk with minimum supervision and hopefully we can go again to Thunder Valley Casino in the near future. Please continue your prayers for Macrine's complete recovery.

Lulu ( Mexican-American) is one of the Home health aide( Helping Hearts) that help Macrine on Wednesday and Fridays from 9AM to 1PM. Lulu also helps Macrine with her exercises and urge her to play the piano.

Macrine has another home health aide, Mindy( Partners-in Care), a Filipina-American who comes on Tuesday and Thursday from 9AM to 1PM.

Mindy also does some light housekeeping ( vacuuming and doing the laundry) when Macrine is taking a nap.

On weekends, besides Mele, we have Letty helped us.
