Another Photo of our new family in California

March 29, 2007 , Bakersfield, California - This is the first photo of the Tanicala and Tolentino families. Our similarities are many - Manong Roger(2nd from left) is from Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte also my father's home town; Manang Isabel is from Binalonan, Pangasinan where I stayed for three months (don't ask why) . Manong Roger and I share similar interests and know people from the Philippines and a lot more.

The words that best describe our encounter - HAPPENSTANCE and SERENDIPITY. Go ahead and look it up in the dictionary. The full story on the next edition...
