Today is Thursday, October 12th, 2006. It's been awhile since I logged into my blog because my wife Rose and I are moving to our new home in Eagle Rock (near Pasadena). We're very excited and it's been a bit tiring and frustrating because we're doing a lot of upgrades and renovating before we move into our home in November. I am sort of a Project Manager of coordinating with carpenters and contractors to make our dream home happen. It's been very hectic, but worth the effort and in the long run it will be amazing!!! God is good and we're very blessed!!

My wife is studying day and night to pass her RN board exams. Please pray and cross your fingers that she will pass it since we're so focused on our goals!!

As for me, my after school program YS-CARE has closed down at Normandie Ave. School and I supervised Vermont Ave. School's program for the month of September.

I'm now focusing on a career as a journalist (freelance for DP Magazine, Philippine News, Balita, and other publications), motivational speaker (P.o.e.t.i.c. Educator), and continuing my career as a Traveling Teacher for LAUSD (my bread and butter).

We at RA Mendoza Books are still promoting our Poetic Passages (ramendoza.com) to customize poems for all occasions on wooden decorative plaques.

We will continue to spread positive poetry and short stories throughout the universe!!!! Thanks for all of your continued support!!!!

Peace and Blessings,
R.A. Mendoza
