Life in the Heart of Cebu City: A Returning Immigrant's Memoir is a sequel to An Immigrant Goes Back Home to Cebu (2021). In that previous memoir, she revealed how, as she was retiring from her senior instructor's position at a community college in Canada in 2012, she took to heart the persistent call of home from Cebu in the Philippines and decided that Cebu is her spirit place where she'd stay around for retirement. This meant, however, that she had to give up continuous and readily available access to the medical health care provided by Canada's social safety net to which she had contributed and enjoyed as a provincial government employee for more than 30 years. Despite losing this advantage, she has set herself up to regain a foothold in a place where she knows her belonging is not questioned as she makes practically livable and pretty her brand spanking new condominium in the heart of Cebu City in the past year and a half. She recounts how her new living arrangement has provided a convenient jumping board for engaging with friends and acquaintances from the past and present as well as planned and serendipitous engagements with people from all walks of life. Interwoven in these narratives is her rather disconcerting recognition of the widening gap between the rich and the poor and that between the emergent middle and the lower classes. Nonetheless, grateful that she is not on the needy end, she recounts with optimism the first concrete steps in her self-assigned project to build a permanent food bank depot and lodging house for poor students in a now run-down city area where she once lived during her student days. Underlying this apparently workable enterprise are reminiscences of her parents giving to others often at so much cost which they lightened up somehow with a metaphor about the talisay, a tropical almond tree's fruit which could be found along beaches as rivers carry them into the sea usually after a storm: "No matter how small the talisay is, it still could be shared if there's a will to do so." On this note, the author also pays undying tribute to the good-hearted overseas donors who share their talisay to fund the feeding programs and other community projects she has operated with her husband since 2008. Gratefully, she recognizes their empathy for the condition of the poor back in the Third World who, unlike the First World's poor, have meager access to social assistance, if at all available.
My fourth book is a collection of ideas and thoughts from my imagination on different topics that come into my head that are all fiction and the way God our Father lets me express them. Hope you will enjoy reading it as you have before, and I hope I can continue to express myself in poetry and rhyme like the poets before me. I like it when I can pour out my thoughts and be able to share them with you and those who know me through my work and my being me.
This book is intended to reach Children's hearts and show them how to deal with different situation that occurs in not only they life but other people they know life in a positive light whether it be fiction or non-fiction. Some children can express and deal with life challenges sometime by feeling other people unfortune , by expressing how it effects them. I pray the children will always come out with a positive outlook from reading my books, by being gentle, courteous, respectful, kind, and grateful in any situation. I always believe there will always be light at the end of every tunnel. Although there might be heartache, pain, sacrifices, as well as strife. I personally feel there will be light somewhere waiting for a slight of relief for others. But, in the mist of all of that turmoil we must admit and remember we still need light in our hearts and life. Therefore, I humbly ask and say: "let our children imagine, wish, hope and dream. For they imagining and dreaming for tomorrow while their hopes and wishes are for today So let them live their dreams and to the world I always say dream to live, for living is your dreams!!
