          Luz kabahin sa imong giingon nga yuta diri ilabi na sa Batuan nga common sa atong mga ginikinan akong giistoryahan sila si Manoy Semion ug Yoyo Eulogio parte anang butanga ug matod pa nila nga kon gusto kono ka nga moari ka diri aron sa pagsurvey anang bahina. Ug sa yuta pod ni lola Garet nimo wala may nagpuyo diri mao ra nang gamay nga payag kay giguba naman ang balay sa una gani wala nay prutas nga tanom ang anaa ra diri mao nang mga lubi kay gilukop man ug lubi sa nakapalit ug kabahin sa mga papeles nga imong giingon wala me masayod anang butanga kay gani ang gabaligya ana ang imo mang mama ug Iyo Ompong man kaha wala mangilabot silang Mama, Manoy ug Yoyo ana sa una kay tungod sa panultion sa imong mama nga walay igsoon, ig-agaw, paryente nga maka panag-iya anang yuta ni lola Garet nimo mao nga wala koy mahimo ana.

         Ug ani-a man ning imong camera ako mang nadawat unya maoy imong gusto nga pakuha-an ug picture ang mga beaches diri ingon man sa yuta kaha sa batuan. Ug tingali mao ra siguro na ang akong matuman diri ug ako unya nang liboton sa pag picture basta pada-an ko nimo ug kwarta kay unsa may akong pamasahe sa pag-adto sa mga lugar unya diri. Mahal ra ba ang pletehan diri labi na sa habal-habal pakyaw dayon. Tingali dili paigo nang imong giingon nga one thousand kay pagbayad unya sa pagmail sa film nga akong ibalik diha nimo. Maayo kon imong dugangan na. Kay bisan gani ug ordinaryo nga sulat ra gani 15.00 pesos ra unsa kaha nga anaa may gama nga e-package kanang film
 Dinhi lang ko kutob ug regards to everybody.

There must be a connection somehow.  How are you related with the Kilats in Bitaug? i.e., Linda Kilat, Debbie Kilat etc.
Yes, with children it is a bit expensive when you travel.  That's one reason why it was only me and our 2 younger children who travelled this time.  I'm quite fed up travelling now so we are seriously thinking that the next time we travel it will be the last as we think of going for good soon.  If God willing.
How about you?  Any thoughts of retiring in the Philippines?
Bye for now and hope to hear from you again.

Kind regards,
Lucki

Dear Day Luz,

Hi Hello how are you there, I respond to your letter that you sent to Mama Presca. Day Luz basin nalimot kanako nga ako ang anak ni mama Presca nga si Tata nahinomdom ba kanako adtong didto sa Balagatasa. sa to yu nimo ni Mama Presca nga maoy
papangitaon ug yuta ako ang nangita kay si mama dili makalugar kay gulang na siya. Busa akoy nangita, dia-anay yuta nga akong nakit-an sa pamilya Manos. Ang kantidad sa yuta is one hundred fifty thousand pesos naay title. Pero ang magpalit sa yuta maoy mag lakaw sa papers, Dead pf seal, registered of deeds basta mao na ang ilang toyu sa pomalalit. Straight kini sa balay ni Mama Presca nga yuta Day Luz. Ug may tindahan ko. Ang akong bana si Abner police diri sa Enrique Villanueva matod niya naka classmate kono kamo sa grade 1 sa Bitaug.
      Si Era naka anhi siya sa Bitaug kay nagsobay sa inyong kabilin pero walay klaro kay gibaligya kono sa igso-
on ni mama nimo. Day Luz very beautiful ang imong mga kids.
       Mi-ingon si mama nga akong iyang gisaligan sa imong sulat. Lami ra ba ang view sa balay busa balusi ko dayon kay daghan ang interesado kay along the road kaayo plastar daghan kaayong naibog sa View sa yuta. Regards to all your family Gyseman , your kids Yvette, Abigail, Genevieve, Charlotte & Vincent and may God Bless you. Day Luz and Edward .
    Your relatives,
Tata, Abner & Kids

Hi Luz,
Sorry to take long, just get too occupied with the children and work.  They are on holiday this week so I try to get mails replied as much as I can. I do know those people you mentioned in your last mail.  I have a feeling that Nang Presca Kilat Sugabo is somewhat closely related to me because I seem to remember that she and my mother were very close before.

As far as the lot you mentioned in Bitaug, I think you better hurry and check things out there because lots have been sold and for sale all over the island now that foreigners are so interested in them.  I know for sure that many lots went in Bitaug.  I'm not saying yours was one of them because I honestly don't know where your lot is but who knows?  There are a lot of buying and
selling problems in the island now.

If you are interested,  I know of  a piece of land for sale on the beach @P300/sqm. (2,600sqmts. approx.) along Sandugan about where the boundary of Sandugan & Bitaug.  This could be a good area for your husband's sports
interests.  Only problem is the road which could later on be acquired through negotiations with the adjacent lot owners.

I have browsed through your website on lingeries, may I ask you how much does it cost you to accept credit card payment on the net?  I'm interested because we also have a little business but always thought it will cost a fortune to
have this thing set up.  Check us out on www.inks1.comand maybe we could have business with you?

Well, i think I've gone too far for now.  Hope to hear from you sometime.

Warm regards,

Lucki & family

Hi Luz & family,
At last, here I am, able to jot down some words to reply my mails which have been piling for a long while now.  Football!  Jubilee! etc., etc.  they are my excuses. Anyway, thanks for the advise with regard to the e-commerce thing.  I did
get  the disk a while ago when we applied for the herbalife distribution business but, things did not work out.  Frankly, I think my learning days are over.My husband has just asked me to ask your husband if you've got the cartridges yet, if not, it should not be long now, it is on its way.

 I hope that you will have success with your land back home.  However, don't  be silly and say you have no money to buy any other land.  We have no money to our names but we still manage with hardship and frustration of course but they say money can always be found.  My advise if you don't mind, is to secure land there while they are still available.  Foreigners are crazy
about buying properties there and personally, I'd sooner have Siquijodnons acquire the ownership of these properties rather than these other people. I mean Siquijodnons like you and me married to western people.

 I hope that don't offend you at all.  If it does, please say so.  I do tend to give stupid advises sometimes. Bye for now and take care.  Kind regards  to your family.

 Love,
 Lucki & family

 Hi Lucki,
        I am updating my website about Siquijor and would like to include a few pages about your place out there. I have already made the pages and I just want to ask you if this is ok before I upload them to the Internet. If you don't mind, I will upload them so you can see them and of course change anything you don't like.  I am trying to include as much information about the Island as I can, to get the tourists going there. Hope to hear from you soon, Luz
