A Brief Tribute to Olga Nieva Luarca Quiazon

I just read on Facebook today that Olga Nieva Luarca Quiazon - Macrine's first cousin on the Nieva side of her family died early this morning. I was so shocked I wish it was faked news. Immediately, I called Lito Quiazon, Olga's beloved husband. He confirmed it. Olga was very close to Macrine and me, since she was the only first cousin that kept in touch with us via telephone call regularly. I do not have the courage to inform Macrine yet. I am scared that this shocking news may trigger her to deep depression since she is suffering from Parkinson Disease. Here's the announcement in FB from Benny Luarca-Olga's brother:

Facebook Relatives and Friends, It is with deep sorrow and sadness that we announced the passing away of our eldest sister Olga Blanca Nieva Luarca Quiazon in Richmond General Hospital in British Columbia, Canada.

She died 5:40 AM 25 August 2018 due to pneumonia and infection. She had a long battle with Cancer. She was 72 years old. We requests for your prayers for the Eternal repose of her soul. Rest in peace Ate Olga.

Here'a a photo tribute of Olga with us: We will missed you very much, Olga. Rest in Peace. Amen!

Funeral services and arrangement will be announced soon!

Chateau Du Mer Beach Resort and Conference Center

These are the reviews from from two of our guests published at the Trip Adviser web site. Visit the Trip Adviser website for additional details. 1.What a peaceful place to spend relaxing time in Marinduque! The cottage is very comfortable, and right on the beach, with a large deck for watching the sunset. The location in Boac (and not too far from Gasan) is well placed for a home base for day trips around Marinduque. But the best part of our stay here was the graciousness of the hosts, David and Macrine. They are warm-hearted, know the island well, and truly made us feel at home. Although we were there to explore the island and relax, the property has a great conference/meeting facility as well. Highly recommended. 2. Nestled against the beach, this cottage on stilts was a great place to spend a week away from all the insanity of urban life. With a spacious deck, two bedrooms, a living room and a full kitchen, my entire family truly enjoyed their stay. The hosts, Dave and Macrine do everything possible to make you feel like family, while still giving you space and privacy. The beach is all of 25 feet away and early morning walks on the beach are what I remember most. My kids were fascinated with the bamboo flooring. A reef is just off shore and filled with beautiful fish to enjoy while snorkeling. I would go back in a minute if I could.

I love Sunsets! How About You?

1. Sunset from Balcony of the Chateau Du Mer Beach House, Amoingon, Boac, Marinduque, Philippines Over the years, I have seen and photographed several dozens of sunsets in several countries that my wife and I have visited. We have been to Marbella, Spain, Rome, Italy, London,England, Vancouver, B.C., Cancun, Mexico, Aruba, Hawaii( Maui, Kawaii, Big Island), Puerto Rico and most of the US big cities, New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago, Kansas City, St Louis, Miami, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, NV, Houston, TX and other small cities . But the two most beautiful sunsets that stir my emotion are the one at Amoingon Bay (#1- taken at the balcony of our Chateau Du Mer Beach house-top photo) and the one over Manila Bay(# 9 photo). You will probably say, I am partial since I am a Filipino-American, but judge it yourself. Above are ten of my favorite sunset pictures for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy! Comments, anyone?
