The Family House

The mother-in-law of my eldest son is always inviting us to visit their place in Cabanatuan everytime we're in the country for vacation. It only materialized last weekend when we attended the baptismal of my grandson Aivler Vaughn, the second son of Anthony.




The Ponce family house sits on a 375 square meter lot. Their architect did a good job in building their house. I really like it at first look, the interior of the house, the kitchen, bedrooms, entertainment room , dirty kitchen and the big space at the back and side for some family bonding.




The house is a product of long years of hardwork and business-wise. There's no family members who work abroad to seek a greener pasture, they cultivate their own seeds and harvest it through strong will and determination. It's another success story without leaving our homeland.

A Relaxing Friday

It's friday again and that means the start of a weekend. I'm still in the recovery mode because of long flight from Germany to here. My body clock is not yet normal and still have sleep deficits. After seeing Adeth this morning, my daughters and me decided to just pamper ourselves.



Thats what i like here most in the Philippines, pampering is more cheaper

Happy to be Back Home

We did sleep till 12 pm for our first day in the Philippines. It's understandable because we arrived close to midnight. The first thing that we did was filling our stomach for brunch at Flavours of China together with my eldest daughter & grandkids.

Floh Markt in Offenburg

A flea market or flohmarkt is a type of bazaar where inexpensive or secondhand goods are sold or bartered. The flea market vendors may range from a family that is renting a table for the first time to sell a few unwanted household items to a commercial operation including a large variety of used merchandise.



Last saturday, there's a small flea market in Offenburg Markplatz. The weather was very nice and its really good for vendors, rare finders and antique collectors.



Now, its ice cream time!!!

Castle Dining with the Luetzigs

Last Saturday, we decided to have dinner at Schloss Staufenberg in Durbach, one of the main attraction here in the Ortenau. Their specialties are flammenkuchen, salads and different cheeses. The castle is situated in the mountain, the Luetzigs walked their way up there and we go there by car.

Dinner at Rammersweier hof

The Luetzig's are longtime friends very close to our hearts and they arrived yesterday to spend the weekend with us. We have dinner at Rammersweier Hof and we have a nice conversation about family life while enjoying the sumptuous foods at the hotel.

Kim @ 8

Though its a delayed post, its better late than never. Last April 8, my grandson kim celebrated his 8th birthday at Southforbes villas clubhouse. It's actually a pool party because of the hot weather and the reception was held in our house. Most of his guests are family members and some of his friends.
