(1399) MUSIC AND ME (May 18, 2017) PALAUAN FIRST-BORN CHILD RITE (Royal Seasons Magazine 2008)

The Royal Seasons Magazine published in 2008 the traditional rite of Palauan first-born child with the mother being rubbed with oil all around her body. The problem is it is written in Chinese language/characters.

The 2007 Palau Royal Resort's New Year's Eve Countdown was also featured with guests and staff enjoying the countdown, where the performances were done by me during the early hours (piano instrumental) alternating with young Palauan traditional dancers and during the countdown (11pm-1:00am), live band featuring me, Alex Mantes and the greatest showman Palau ever knew--Lemuel "Lemon" Bacor-lead guitar and vocal. The staff had photo sessions with GM Isao Takahashi, Michelle Liao, Jesse Tsai, Edgar Cayanan, Maricar Genova Manad, Dennis Lara, Nino Flores, Nor Lazaro, F & B Manager Allan Tuppil, who sponsored $100.00 cash prize, trophy and medals for the 2007 Palau Royal Resort Rating Chess Tournament. VERY GOOD MEMORIES OF YEARS GONE BY!!!

In the Employees Corner, 4 employees of PRR were featured with 52-year-old (same as me) Chief Engineer Amado Fulgencio, former Employee of the Year Anette Niango, Mignon (without family name) and me. It also shows there how long we've been working at PRR with Mr. Fulgencio--2 years and 9 months, Anette (2 yrs. 11 mo.), Mignon (1 yr. 2 mo.) and me 9 months (from June 01, 2007).

 In the last page, Executive Chef Masaki Horie (1 yr. 5 mo.), F & B Manager Allan Tuppil (same years as Anette-which means they are pioneers), Annie and Winn Yobech. (2 yrs. 9 mo.).
