Freedom Plaza,1992.
Steve and I were walking home one late night after a party.
We stopped to rest on the grass in the middle of this plaza.
We woke up early the next morning surrounded by people standing at attention.
Freedom Plaza was the site for the daily National Anthem and flag ceremony.
Ooops.

One day I overheard Chona at the phone booth (Blue-pone)
She was doing her once a week call to her boyfriend:
"I just called to say: I love you!!!"
(which is the line I thought of EVERY time I saw her)
I wonder if she ended up marrying him.

Hi Teacher Chesca!
It's Pindie here, who baked you your birthday cake! hey, wonderful to see all the pictures from the good old days at camp. I'm here as you know and can't wait to see you when you visit the Philippines again.
Love Pindie
P.S. If you google Kara you'll find an article written about her registering voters for Obama.

Hi Teacher Chesca, thank you for all the beautiful pictures of the camp. I lived in the camp when I was about 13 years old. Our family was so poor that we don't even have 1 single picture taken at the camp. These images bring so much wonderful memory. This is the most beautiful place, it like paradise. If you happen to have more pictures of the camp please share some with me Sphommachan@ctdi.com Thank you..
I searched google and tried to look for pictures of the refugee camp that I used to live there twenty ago. Thank you for sharing these pictures. It brought back a lots of childhood memories for me. Thank you and please keep sharing your updates pictures.
