Amid speculations that the balloon boy incident was just a hoax cooked up by the family to gain attention, Richard Heene said that he is announcing something today. The other day, Richard Heene, the father of the balloon boy told reporters that he's going to have a press conference of sort today in front of his house, he's announcing something, and it became known as the balloon boy announcement to those who are following this story in the last few days. Many thought that he is announcing something big but it turns out that the announcement is that he is no longer entertaining reporters, he told them to stop calling, emailing him with questions and to leave written questions in a cardboard box he put in front of his house. That's the balloon boy announcement everyone is waiting for.
I grew up all over Luzon because of the nature of my father’s work. I can remember Dagupan City, it has helped a lot in shaping my childhood, we stayed there for about 5 years. Then in one of the islands in Hundred Islands, I couldn’t remember how long. Then there was Los Baños Laguna, 7 colorful years there. And of course Mandaluyong City. Then from Luzon I came to Cotabato City where I experienced my first “culture shock”. But I later learned to love the people and the place and stayed there for two years. Now I’m here in General Santos City (the Pacquiao town) where I met my destined lifetime partner who is a Visayan who could speak Tagalog, English, and some Ilonggdo.
My father is Ilocano, my mother Ilonga, but I grew up speaking Tagalog because that was what my family use at home. I have a 3 year old gwapong long haired son named Joshua Daniel and for now my world and joy is almost inside my family lang, wife and mother muna. I studied in UPLB (Communication Arts Major in Theater Arts for Children) and Mass Communication at Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges where I met my husband. He was teaching there part-time and I was in one of his Essay Writing classes. He encourages me to write and to blog. He majored in English but is so enamored with the language of computers. He takes care of the technical side of this blog and as much as possible does not get his hands wet with painting my emotions in my posts.
