See You Again Mercy!

The world has become a pretty small place and most of us move around a lot. We move away for school or a new job, and unfortunately for most of us Filipinos here in Saudi Arabia, especially those living with the family, we have to accept the reality that we need to send our kids back to our own country to continue their college education when the time comes.

This is the case of Mercy, a 16 year old kid who's known Jeddah her lifetime. While this temporary set-up is sad because she'll be away with the family, the positive spin to this situation is that she's taking a step to a brighter future.

We know, despite some misgivings, Philippines still has one of the best educational systems. And we parents know that education is the best "pamana" we can ever leave our children with. So to the parents and close relatives of Mercy, rejoice because you know you're doing the right move. We can always keep in touch with our loved ones back at home thru cell phones and instant messages, email, Facebook and Twitter anyway.

We failed to take a pix of Mercy because the young lady is shy.

Here's the menu during the occasion: Roast Beef, Chicken with Cashew Nuts, Shrimp Casserole, Fish Fillet, Mixed Veggies, Buko Pandan & Sapin-sapin.
