My Life Here at THD- A Surprise Visit from a Friend and His Wife

Frank and Mildred Cabunoc of Fairfield, California

Yesterday,  Frank and Mildred Cabunoc visited me and brought some Pinoy sweets. I was touched by their visit.  They are residents of Fairfield, Ca but had a family picnic here at Heather Farms, Walnut Creek.  They decided to visit me on their way home after the Family Picnic.  Frank and Mildred thanks a million again for your visit.  

 Here's a short story of how I met Frank Cabunoc.  

My Second Literary Son-Frank Cabunoc:

My second literary son was just born a few weeks ago. His first article was titled,"Why I do not write for Viewshound" received several positive comments including a note from our editor, the very helpful, Ian Howlett.

His name is Frank Cabunoc. I met Frank, last year on-line via my blogs. Frank wrote me that he enjoyed reading my autobiography. We corresponded every now and then. I noticed from his comments that he is a good writer. I asked Frank to guest write for me in my blogs. As of today, he had a couple of guest articles published in my blog sites. When I discovered ViewsHound last August, I encouraged Frank to similarly write for the site. My encouragement resulted in his first article, mentioning my name.

Franks says in his profile that he is the silent type, and can have strong opinions about issues. He is a Filipino transplant living in the US, married to a wife who supports his hobbies, interests and aspirations. He finished his Master in Business Administration(MBA) from the American Institute of Management(AIM), and have worked in marketing and finance in the past. Today, he works in customer service for an insurance company.

Here's an excerpt from his well-received and extensively commented first article.

"A Facebook friend introduced me to this wonderful ViewsHound website, which is read by and composed of people with varying degrees of eccentricities and talents. Based on our correspondence on many issues, he coaxed and encouraged me to write for ViewsHound, but so far he has been unsuccessful.

I have read numerous high quality articles, and I decided to disregard his suggestion. I have no lofty goals of writing my own inferior work and suffer the indignity of being printed beside award-winning authors. Moreover, I cannot be persuaded to write with promises of ViewsHound money and recognition.

On the other hand, my friend has been a prolific writer on his blog sites and an exceptional workhorse for ViewsHound. He is unstoppable by continuously entertaining us with his creative writing abilities and photograph submissions. I salute him for his literary productivity, the distinguished David Katague.

His previous article entitled "Why am I writing for ViewsHound?" inspired me and gave me an idea to create something entitled "Why I don't write for ViewsHound". His opinion of not comparing himself to other writers gave me a slight relief. I should also shun the idea of comparing myself to more experienced writers."

Meanwhile, This Morning my knees is acting again. I did not feel like socializing so I ordered brunch and here's the blueberry pancake with berries I had for breakfast. I have also cocktail shrimps, salads and avocado to enjoy later.
