    Kiaora Jo! I remember meeting you a few times in Welly but I didn't get to know you really well. I did the Praxis A1 course in 2000. Anyways it was really cool to look at your photos and reading the blog "You know your a Filipino when..." made me laugh and brought back so many memories of the 3 months I spent there in 1999.

    Hi Jo,
    We are all good - been awol for awhile - the kids have had headlice and conjunctivitis, both of which we didn't think we should share with our Ilam whanau! All is looking good for this Sunday though so hopefully we will make it! We would love to have you guys over for tea one night - what night suits you? Hope you are well and finding your place here in Christchurch - must be so different for you. Be great to catch up sometime, take care, Michelle
