The B's are Busy

Yesterday, we did drive to market market to do some house shopping at MC Home depot. Because of the on going skyway construction, the traffice was very heavy. We bought some bathroom accessories and door locks. We then have our lunch at Sbarro, an italian restaurant inside the market2.

On the way back, we encountered the same traffic situation. At alabang home depot, we ordered doors and granite for my dirty kitchen. It's really very hard if you're constructing a house.

But today, our tagaytay adventure is a mixture of nature trip and fruits shopping. Along the tagaytay road, there are lots of stalls selling pineapples, bananas and other fruits and delicacies like buko pie.

I bought 4 pieces of big pineapples for 100 pesos only and cluster of bananas for 30 pesos. Its really worth your money, everytime we go to tagaytay, we really stop in these stalls.

We also tried the mexican restaurant along paseo. The lunch buffet costs 330 pesos and I would say that the price quality relationship of the foods was superb.

Color Coding

Today, we did go to the construction site twice to meet the kitchen contractor and the landscaper. If we're busy buying things here and there, its the same with our 35construction workers. The first thing i noticed when i saw them last sunday is their color coded t-shirt.

The workers belongs to different contractors. Actually there are four colors, those who are wearing red belongs to our contractor, the blue from cosmo stone, and they're responsible for putting the granites on the floor, the green from the electrical company and white for architectural.

Nice to be Back

It's nice to be back not only here in the Philippines but on the web as well. I really missed the blogosphere, its already a part of my life.

My two daughters picked us up at the airport and have lunch with them. Our family car is just small so all my children will not fit in. I'm going to have a mommy moments with them later. I should first adjust myself with the time difference and its really hard.

We then visited the construction site and was surprised that the workers were there. They said that they're really working overtime to cath up with the schedule. Dirk was very much satisfied with the way our retirement house was done.

Hopefully, it will be finish in september.

My Umbrella

It's raining hard last night and today when i looked at the skies, its still very cloudy. When the rain begin to pour, i suddenly remember my missing umbrella.

Last week when i shopped at Mueller in Offenburg, i placed my black esprit umbrella in the spot where wet umbrellas should be. After 30 minutes of shopping, i returned to the front door to retrieve my umbrella.

I was surprised to see a german girl picked up my umbrella. I did confronted her and told her its mine, then an argument followed. I really insisted that its mine and she tried to find hers. She searched for her umbrella and found it in another bin. It turned out that we have the same black esprit rain protector.

With my umbrella in hand, i decided to stop shopping because of the rain. I then headed to the level parking to retrieve my car. I pay my parking fee then drive home.
I was in our garage when i suddenly remember my umbrella, i forgot it at the ticket machine. Oh my gulash, i was figured in an argument only to lose it because of my alzheimer. Don't be sad cool mom, you still have your red esprit and other umbrellas.

The Blue Belter

Last week, my grandson kim joined a taekwondo competition at Nagcarlan, Laguna. He's really very determined to upgrade his belt and luckily he placed second in his age and belt group.

He received a silver medal and from yellow belt, he is now a blue belter.

Gathering of Friends

It's almost summer here in Germany and people are enjoying a nice weather. It's also grill and garden time. They are now busy beautifying their gardens with lots of beautiful flowers and inviting friends for a grill party.

The other day, Lalaine invited us again for a get-together at their place. The kids enjoyed the pool while we're busy joking and exchanging pleasantries. The foods was superb, pansit, fried chicken, chicken curry, sinigang and kaldereta. I'm really busy this week attending get together and birthday parties.

Yesterday, i am with my best friends having lunch at our favorite italian restaurant.

Floh Markt

We have a very nice weather today, its sunny but a little bit cold, around 20 degrees. I know that there's a scheduled flea market today so i browsed around the stalls selling different kind of stuff, clothes, decors, antiques and other household junks.

I told myself i will just browsed, but i cannot control myself buying some things for our house.

I think we have a flea market four or five times a year only and its just from 8 to 5, so better take advantage because you will surely find some rare things that's not available in any store.
