    Hi from Concepcion, Tarlac Province

    Hi All,

    A friend recommended I check out this group and it looks great

    I'm 48, originally from Cambridge, about a lifetime ago, but grew up in Perth, West Australia. 20 years in Asia, lived in Subic / Olongapo 97 - 02 before going back to Malaysia for a few years, then back here 2004 till now, mainly in Tarlac Province, staying for life now, no parole requested.

    I work from home with a small team doing programming, database and other web work for UK firms. I live with my wife to be Debs, my 10yo son and her 11yo daughter - we each had half a family till 15 months ago when she went from data encoding employee to partner in life

    No hobbies really - too busy working all the time - although Man Utd games must be watched with diligence (and Debs is now a convert of course). Won't talk about yesterday's game...

    Aside from work I try to get some community service in here as a member of the Guardians (GBI - "RMG Ronin"). Any Guardians in the UK on this forum?

    Anyway, now I ramble, I'll lurk for a while until I can contribute something

    Thanks for having me aboard

    Cheers

    Steve

    Welcome here Steve
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

    They're used to it now. When they see that look on my face, staring at the screen, talking to myself...

    They keep a distance...

    welcome to the forum, I know Conception quite well. My wife is from San Nicolas Pangasinan and we go through Conception on the way there. We usually stop in Luisita for a coffee. (in fact you look familiar from my last visit last month).

    Enjoy the forum

    I have friends in Dagupan, Pangasinan and have been promising to visit for ages. Usual excuse, work. I get fresh prawns at the market here from Dagupan that are so fresh and large, the seafood market there must be a treasure trove.

    I've only been to Luisita once - and it was indeed last month...

    Not too many in Tarlac look like yours truly - small world indeed!

    Hi Welcome to the forum, I have cousin very active in Guardians (RMG Weng), from Nueva Ecija.
    Me and my friends planning to visit Tarlac this summer at the ISDAAN restaurant very famous and looks nice.
    Enjoy your stay
    Don't make promises when you are in JOY. Don't reply when you are SAD.
    Don't take decisions when you are ANGRY. Think twice, Act wise. BE happy.
