I will post up the BBQ thread tomorrow. Don't want to give out more info than I should but we have a few sponsor for a raffle along with a huge lot and a shop that was nice enough to let us host this there.

Nov. 7th, if you ca read this mark your calendars

 

^ Got the date on my em subscription. I will see what I can re-arrange on the calendar. I was planning a breakfast run on the eastern side of Sac thru the Sierra's on that day. See if I can move it to Sunday.

 

Thanks, hope you can make it down here.

Guys thank you so much for all the support. Here's the update.

My mom was cremated last night @715pm (Manila time). Her ashes was transferred into an urn where it stays on an altar in our home pending
the move to a mausoleum.
There will be people coming to our house to say prayers every night till
the 9th day.
I could post pics here but since I'm in an internet cafe right now, I wouldn't
trust uploading my files.

 

Ed its so nice hearing from you and hope everything is ok back there and no rain thats gonna hold you back . I guess you miss your Z but thats more important so ok see you when you get back and pm jesse coz i asked him if he can pick you up on tuesday

Hi everyone!

So I'm back in the Bay Area last Tuesday (Oct.27) and the sudden change in weather made my life more miserable for it gave me cough and colds. On top of that, I have to work the next day. Lucky me, didn't experience any jet lag at all after the grueling 18-hour flight, whew...

I was able to talk to my stepdad and my aunts regarding the bill. It sucks to know when hospital wouldn't release the death certificate if the bill hasn't been paid up, which amounted to almost $8k. In turn, the funeral parlor wouldn't go through the cremation if they don't have the death certificate on hand. That would mean adding an extra day at the wake. That's $106/day in addition to the $425 package which incl 3 days in the chapel, cremation and food for the guests. So my stepdad pawned off our house to come up with cash.
It is so much expensive to die in Manila knowing only well-off people can afford health and life insurance.

So I thank you all those who unselfishly and unconditionally donated their hard-earned money. Every dollar would be wisely spent on my Mom's death. And to all those who prayed and expressed their sympathies, my deepest gratitude.

Ed
