Bonding with my Daughters

Last wednesday, i have some bonding moments with three of my daughters and baby jaimee. It's really a good feeling to spend some time with them because of their busy schedules.







We have a late lunch at Super Bowl, a chinese restaurant and shopped at SM for food and household items.

Seagulls Cup


Yesterday, dirk and our neighbors Brian, Steve and Ochia joined the 4th Seagulls Cup at Tagaytay Highlands. It was participated by 70 golfers of different race but majority are Filipinos. They seemed to enjoy the tournament and they all won raffle prizes from the sponsors. Dirk won a golf bag which cost around 100 euro, not bad at all.




Lunch after the tournament

The night before the tournament, we have a get together at Sawyer's house where we have lots of fun.


Back in the Blogosphere

For the past days, i was not able to blog due to some tamaditis or laziness. I declared saturday a "me day" by having foot spa, pedicure, manicure and some shopping. Pampering myself is a must for me.



Last sunday, i became a spontaneous godmother to four month old Nina Ricci, a daughter of a family friend. There are around 150 guests in the combined catering and home cooking, typical filipino tradition inviting relatives, friends and neighbors. I was not able to take picture in the reception because the battery of my camera was empty.




Yesterday, we're at Greenbelt park in makati after visiting a german friend. They're fascinated that there are lot of greens inside a busy business district. It's a good feeling to say a little prayer at the round greenbelt church once again.

Canyon Ranch


Last night, we visited Heinz-Werner's abode at Canyon Ranch. It is situated in the most prime location in Carmona, Cavite, and is part of the sprawling 77-hectare San Lazaro Leisure Park. Its high elevation provides stunning views of landmark surroundings.



Though the lot area is small, the house has nice architectural design. There are lots of finished houses but a community is yet to establish.

Fast foods


When it comes to Filipinos, there are different fast food chains that can provide just the right kind of taste that we are looking for. Jollibee, Mcdonalds, Red Ribbon and Chowking are the top fast food chains in the Philippines to date, serving their unique menu from their delectable choices of hamburgers, crispy chicken, spaghetti, and other pinoy meals for Filipinos all over the world to enjoy.





Since we arrived here three weeks ago, dirk and our guests prefer to cook in our new kitchen. I missed so much these fastfoods that up to now my lunch and dinner come fom take-outs.

Charity Christmas


Christmas is just around the corner but because of the last typhoons that affected most of our kababayans, the celebration will not be the same. It's just once a year but we also need to prioritize the repair for damage caused by Ondoy and Peping. We, Filipinos are survivors and no amount of storm can dampen the spirit of christmas.


For many years now, actor Aga Muhlach started the project Maaga ang Pasko sa Jollibee. He asked the people to donate at any Jollibee branch used toys, books and other things for the poor kids. In turn, the biggest franchise food chain in the country will also make a counterpart on the donations.

Alone but not Lost

Yesterday, our guests tried for the first time to drive to SM Santa Rosa without us. Dirk cannot leave our house because of the on-going post-construction. They succeeded in finding the store chain and shopped for some foods and house items.
