Thomas's Story

Here's my update. I've been married to Mailyn for 11 years now. We met in Singapore, although she is a Filipina. We have a seven-year-old daughter. We lived in CA for 7 years, then in the Philippines for 3, back here again. We spent New Year¿s Eve 2006 at our home in Mindanao, Philippines, and then packed up and moved back to California. After three years there, I had had enough of it for a while. We will keep our house in Davao, but change our emphasis; instead of living there and traveling to the US, we will live in California and go there sometimes. I returned to the US in March 2006, and made a quick business trips to Ohio and to Texas. I started a new project in Austin, Texas and visited Tom Jr. and family there. In Cleveland on April 1st, 2006, it snowed, I did not like that, so I hurried back to Huntington Beach and bought a new home before Mailyn and Emily arrived, mid - April; we moved in on May 1, 2006. (Our address is 7961 Waterfall Circle, Huntington Beach CA 92648) I HAVE WRITTEN A BOOK "Rebels of Mindanao". Search the web for it. My first novel, Rebels of Mindanao, is scheduled to be published by Beaufort Books, New York, in May 2008. It is a fictional story about the collision of Islam and Christianity in a civil war in the Philippines. The logline is "Maverick ex CIA agent fights al Qaeda in the Philippines". Beaufort is a small publishing house, but is getting some PR now because they are the publisher of the OJ Simpson confession. While waiting for the book to come out, I am writing the screenplay for the story in a workshop run by a producer who also teaches at UCLA Film School and the University of California, Irvine. I teach Global Business Strategy at the University of Phoenix, here at the Southern California Campus and Online. I only teach one class at a time, and then start another, about six - eight classes a year ...Expand for more
in total. Emily did great in the first grade at the Montessori School in Costa Mesa. She had finished two years of preschool at Montessori in Davao City, so she was able to start here although only 5 ½, because the curriculum is the same as it was at her school in the Philippines. She also studies ballet (her favorite activity in the Philippines) and attended acting classes at John Robert Powers in Costa Mesa. She wants to do these things, it is on her own initiative and we just watch in amazement and support her interests. For Emily¿s sixth birthday last November 5, we took her to Hawaii for five days and her ¿birthday luau¿. We all enjoyed the trip and visited Pearl Harbor and the site of the sunken Arizona, and the Army Museum in Waikiki. We plan to go back again; we like Hawaii. I only have Alaska to visit yet to have been in all 50 states. And here is our big news: my wife Mailyn, (only 32), and I just had a baby! Traveling to Texas in June, I teased her about gaining a pound, but the tests were negative. Still, we hastened our return a bit because she was "feeling funny." On the way back she felt some back pain and a "funny twinge". She took another test here, and it was positive! Elaiza Maria Anthony was born In Irvine CA March 6, 2008. All my girls are doing fine. We are very happy. My son Chris, born in London, is now 28; USC grad lives in Hollywood with his girlfriend. Banking and development business. Son Mike, 33, born in Vienna, Austria, Virginia Tech grad, also lives in L.A. and works for Myspace in Beverly Hills. Son Tom jr., 40, born in Izmir, Turkey, U. of MO, and family, wife Julie, Tommy and Jenny, my two grandkids, live in Kerrville TX. Daughter Emily, born in Newport Beach CA, is now in second grade. You can find my book, "Rebels of Mindanao" online through any of the book sellers. Check it out! Stay in touch! Tom
