Thanks to Lola Josefina “Pining” S. Cabral, Lola Concordia “Coding” S. Tolentino & Lola Rhodora “Dora” S. Alvarado & the whole family for being beautiful models of my new book, “The Amazing Family Circus”, at the Samaniego Clan Reunion last September 22, 2018ย ๐ธ๐๐ทโค๏ธ๐ป๐ช๐๐ธ



They amazed us with graceful dancing by Lola Pining & Lola Coding to the tune of “Kiss Me, Kiss Me” (I taught my lolas simple but fun Zumba hand actions), funny acting by Lola Coding who imitated the expressions of the character illustrations, and crazy storytelling by Lola Dora (naiba yung plot ng book wahaha)! ๐๐ฌ๐ Wow, ang gagaling talaga ng mga lola ko! ๐ Our next gorgeous models hopefully will be Lola Nelly S. Macaraeg, Lola Zeny S. Chan & Lola Isabelita S. Zablan when we see each other ๐

Please pray for the health of all my lolas, especially for Lola Pining who is now confined at the hospital, only a few weeks after this reunion. ๐ We hope to share more fun family moments with all of them in the future.

This book bonding took place at the Samaniego Clan Family Reunion w/ the Cabral, Tolentino & Macaraeg Families last September 22, 2018, Saturday. ๐ฅ๐ต๐ค

Thanks to Tito Ryan Cabral & Tita Janet Cabral for hosting the party! Thanks to everyone for the yummy food, the great company & the fun music, complete with videoke and dancing hehe. We enjoyed bonding with you all, Lolas, Titos, Titas & cousins ๐ค๐ป๐ฝ๏ธ


Thanks to Tita Emily S. Macaraeg Manotok for your bulk order of “The Amazing Family Circus” and to Tita Annie Tolentino, Tito Ronnie and Tita Cely Totten for bringing my books to the US. We appreciate your support!ย ๐ป๐ช๐

This is Part 1 of my “The Amazing Family Circus” Family Moments series.
Family is the focus of my new book. That’s why I’m thankful and surprised that “The Amazing Family Circus” is giving me new ways and opportunities to bond with my own family. Circus cheers!ย ๐ช๐๐ปโ๏ธ๐โค๏ธ๐๐๐คธ๐คก
