Zayda

Tab

        Zayda T. Boles formerly Zaida B. Tangug of IV SS Cancer, is now married to Richard John Boles a Graphic Artist and blessed with two children namely Danielle Zoe - 11 years old and James Samuel - 7 months old.  The family lives in a condominium at Mountain View, California in the heart of the Silicon Valley. 
        “Zayda” as she spells her name now, because of some typographical error done by the city clerk with her Birth Certificate, humbly told this writer her life story as short as possible. 
        Back in 1990 she got a job in Saipan, Mariana Islands, U.S.A. as a Cost Accountant which became her passport to the mainland.  She was issued a Social Security Number and work permit which made her entry to the U.S. of A. a breeze. 
        On April 1991 she made it in California, applied thru Manpower, (a temporary job placement agency) and worked as Account Tech doing payroll and payables at Bayside System Authority which lasted only for a couple of months.  
        While working on her second job, which she holds until now at Palo Alto Medical Foundation as a Patient Account Reps she asked the help of a lawyer to convert her working visa to a permanent resident.  Finally after several years, on February 1998 Zayda was granted her American citizenship. 
        Zayda visited our homeland four times already in the year ’93, ’95, ’96 and the latest was 1998 when her mother died of a heart stroke after being bed ridden for three years.
        Zayda might be visiting the Philippines again on our Grand Silver Reunion on August 2003.

Octavio "Tab" Reyes

Tab sent me an email asking for his buddy's (Tony Ocampo's) email address.... I can't remember a Tab Reyes in high school.   I looked at the yearbook under Science-1 and I found out that it was Octavio.  I can't remember his face, though, so I asked him for some information on himself.   Amazingly enough, he remembered me well with this description:  "Pre ikaw ba yung Val na Math 0ne na nakasalamin at bunot ang buhok nuon? Kasi iyan ang nareremember ko at this moment."

I asked him to describe himself and this is what Tab has to say, "Maputi daw ako at tigyawatin at medyo slim kamukha ko raw si Danilo Molo ng SS if you know Danilo.  Pre kasi di akong unong sa computer kaya I can't send any picture or whatsoever siguro I have to catch up."

On his job and family....

"I work sa City Gov't of Manila sa Engineering Dept pero di ko napapractice ang M.E. ko kasi shut down na yung asphalt plant namin. Nuong na-hire ako about to close down na kaya wala akong experience dito. So kung saan-saan na lang kami itapon.  Married with one kid, Gerald Paul age 8 and my wife, Precy works at United Lab as a market analyst. We live here in Cainta pero mas malapit kami sa Pasig kasi boundary lang kami."
