Originally hailing from the Philippines, I now reside as an actively retired individual in Raleigh, North Carolina. My joy lies in cherishing moments with my grandkids, one of whom is an 8-year-old boy with autism. Welcoming guests from diverse backgrounds fascinates me, as each person carries their own captivating tale. Additionally, I've triumphed over cancer and find solace in preparing and indulging in wholesome cuisine, outdoor activities, family and friends. :) Here's to good health and happiness! Cheers!
