Birthday Surprise

Yesterday, while i'm preparing our foods for lunch, í was surprised by the gesture of our shih tzu pet. She took an artificial flower in one of our guest room and gave it to me. She is really so sweet and seem to understand that its my natal day yesterday.

A Busy Weekend

There's really no end for housework. It's good that my daughters are staying with us and they're a big help in maintaining the house. Caring for three shih tzu's are no joke as well. They are just kids that needs attention and proper caring.

It's playtime





We're also curious about the Pinoy restaurant nearby and in fairness the food tastes delicious at a reasonable price.

Our moment in time

Happy Mother's Day !!!

I'm going to be busy tomorrow so i'm going to greet in advance all mothers in this world and that also includes grandmothers, mother-in laws, godmothers, aunts, nuns, stepmothers, caretakers/nannies with motherly concern and above all to my departed mother who celebrated her 4th death anniversary last May 6. Happy Mother's Day to all especially to our mother in heaven, Mama Mary.


Motherhood is still the most important job in all the world. Nothing else can compare the hardship and hardwork our mothers did to us. They always worked hard and stood the test of time doing their best for our well-bing and our future.

A Busy Thursday

Today, we did drive to Alabang to buy some stuff for our house. Our first stop was at Festival Mall where we have our lunch at Super Bowl of China. Dirk ordered chinese soup only because he was very much on diet and while we're still eating, he bought nuernberger, a white german sausage at Zentis.








We then drive to Wilcon Home depot and bought some electrical and plumbing items. We also buy some non-food items at S&R membership shopping store.

The Visitors

Yesterday, we did go to Don Bosco Chapel and have the opportunity to have picture with Papa Lord. My last visit to the chapel was three months ago when we have our house blessings.



In the afternoon, we have a surprised visitors, the soon-to-be neighbor Thomas and Remy. They are in the design planning stage of their dream house.

Bonding with Friends and Kids

While waiting for my children at Paseo, i have a long talk with my neighbor friend Rosanna and Sweet, a sweet gay. Roxanne as we fondly call her also lives before in Netherland and they are now staying here for good. She said that her children are now very much adjusted here and soon to graduate in college.



When my kids arrived, we have dinner at Jollibee and its a good opportunity for me to bond with my other children. We then proceed to our house and have dessert there.

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.
