News from Seattle



Microsoft has laid off at least 5,000 people so far. First time home buyers maybe the key to real estate recovery. The Philippine Community Centre is having a fundraising dance on May 30th. It's been raining these past two days in Seattle and weather has been on the cooler side.

For this trip to California and Washington, I packed spring-summery clothes; mostly short-sleeved shirts, and even brought two pairs of shorts. It's good I also brought two long-sleeved thicker shirts, and a spring jacket. When I left Toronto, it was a nice 20 degree Celsius or thereabouts - the reason for my summer-frame of mind.

Good news is, since I arrived here in the west coast, I've been to 5 churches already - St. Justin, St Maria Goretti, St. Francis of Assisi, Holy Family and St. Bernadette; another church I would go to is the St. Philomena.

Bad news is, I've also abandoned my usual diet in favor of high cholesterol cuisine; this always happens when I'm away from home.
