the Earth-bound adventures of the Lost and Found

21 April 2008, Davao City. The night before Lola Coring's birthday, we took her to People's Park (the former PTA) and then had dinner at a barbecue place right across. Papa went into historian mode and started asking her about their life in Sorsogon when she and my lolo were growing up. There's still so little they know about their grandparents. I guess he wanted to do this a long time ago, but just didn't know how to initiate the project. Of course, I, too, instantly went into video documentarist mode.

16 April 2006, Davao City. In this clip Lola Coring realizes that her younger brother (my lolo) is actually in a worse physical state than she is, while Lolo Joe learns for the first time that his favorite younger sister, Josefina, has died--just last year, in September, and I never got to meet her :(
