meet Nelson Palaris aka Saneweng

Mr and Mrs Nelson Palaris.

 

 

Nelson and his 2 year-old son Johnlex. Seen with  his wife Pauline and his sister in law ( his brother's wife) seen at the back.

Nelson's father Eddie served with the military as well. He is now retired and is still residing in Palaris, Asingan.   His father's brother Bernan ( now deceased) also served in the military.

Manong Eddie and Manong Bernan used to visit Domakit all the time because of my uncles and my mother.  Then we left for Hawaii in 1984, and recently  I moved to Virginia.   We hear from them every now and then when my mother comes back after  her vacation to the Philippines.  

Nelson told me he is assigned in Camp Aquino, Tarlac City.  He is presently a lawyer with the rank of Captain.  I  also found out that his mother (Dora Palaris) is in Cleveland, Ohio together with his daughter Mary Jane,  a nurse, Nelson's only sister. 

 

When we visited the Philippines in Dec 2002, that's the day  when Nelson just got married.  We were there the night of the wedding, just arrived and we were so tired and jet lagged.  Me and Adam fell asleep even though the Karaoke machine was blaring very loudly.

After a full meal like that one, who would not be sporting such a big smile?..:)

 

Will there be a big feast like that in Asingan in 2008?. If so, I will be eating nothing but bread and water for a whole week before I will fly, ha-ha!------#
