I was looking for window panes made of capiz kaya napadpad ako dito…glad to see familiar names and faces.
one name struck me, though…Sharon Rose Canta, sana makita mo ang message na ito…are you the same person who is or used to be from WCG? The person I know must be around 40 by this time and the last time I got in touch with her was about 2 decades ago…or more years pa.
Hmmn, I am from the Phils. but I think I’ve never been to this place yet. Is it really that nice?
You’re right it’s me. We went to summer camp together back in the 80’s. Hope to get in touch with you, It’s amazing how time flies and see long lost friends in the net. What church u go to now? I’m lost… still groping…though dad is one of the leaders in CGE. They’re good people there.
