Greetings - May 2007
Dear Family and Friends,
It has been several months since we last wrote, hope this finds you well.
Irene and Dominic
May 2007
We had a 3-week trip in Europe during Apr-May 2007, visiting France (including a 2-week French language course in Lyon), Italy, Vatican and UK . We also took a short break in Koh Samui during Easter weekend. To improve our skills in taking out-door photos, we did a photography class in March and practiced with our teacher and classmates at Tai O. We went to an excellent seminar on Bhutan organised by Royal Geographic Society of Hong Kong.
We have started sponsoring 2 kids (1 in Nepal and 1 in Laos) through World Vision, Irene has exchanged a few letters with them.

Filipino Philippine Tagalog DVD You Are The One (buy from Amazon)
Romantic Comedy, Philippine, 2006My review:
I got this DVD as a gift from a friend in Philippines. It is very funny and entertaining, old fashion clean fun (well, most of the time anyway), with a warm touch.Story:
Sally lives and works in Manila while her parents and elder sister live in USA. Her family wants her to join them in USA, she is not so sure but she applies anyway because her mother is not well and needed to be taken care of. At the US embassay, her application was rejected by the US officer Will, who is young and handsome. While she has a crush on this young man, she also hates him for rejecting her application.
