Life is way too serious-especially for us immigrants who work hard for our money and to become the best as we suffer silently and serve with a smile. To exacerbate our challenges, the news and talk around the pandemic has pushed us to madness. But that's only true if you've lost your Pinoy way! In true Filipino fashion, Fundemic Moments injects levity, lifting the corner of my frown much like Botox. Somehow, Romeo Honorio has captured my thoughts and centrifuged them to get just the right dose of pun as the best cure for COVID. But laughter isn't always as easy as swallowing a pill. I'm so thrilled Romeo has written this book, his third. I feel like we share the same Pinoy punny bone. You'll enjoy it! Even though my Puti husband and Mestizo kids have a hard time getting me, I know they'll enjoy it too. This book encapsulates laughter as the best medicine for any virus or the blues. Take the red pill! -Astrid Kuhn Ph.D., Social Scientist, Calgary, Alberta Fundemic Moments is a powerful resource that will help you discover the other side of the pandemic times! Great source of chuckles and laughter. -Abby Villanueva, President and CEO, A G & Associates, Calgary, Alberta Stories are stored memories. No matter how good or bad, jolly or melancholy, as long as it's Romeo's story, you can always find ingenuity. What can't be technically defined can always be described, as proven by the unique presentation that captures the modern-contemporary vocabulary to fully appreciate that life is a gift to be enjoyed and not a problem to be solved. Fun-filled annotations and artistic methodology are fun-tastically displayed in this prose. By reading its printed pages, you will grow intellectually and not only in age. -Lito Mendoza Velasco, Editor-in-Chief, Alberta Filipino Journal Romeo Honorio's third book, Fundemic Moments, gives a humorous yet insightful understanding of the last few years of life journeying through the global pandemic. Romeo's simple yet profound thoughts allow you into the personal and intimate journey of a man who loves his family, friends, and his God while not taking himself too seriously. You'll be laughing at one moment, reflecting personally at another moment, and constantly learning a value that you need to apply to your own life. This is a book you need to read! -Matt Wilks, Pastor and Author, Cultivate: A Youth Worker's Guide to Establishing Healthy Relationships
