"Un"lucky Day

Today is not our day because we were figured in a minor car accident outside our subdivision. Accident do happened and our big consolation is that both parties are safe. Thank God we're not hurt and the damage on the other car is just minimal. We already settled amicably and tomorrow we're going to the auto repair shop for our own damage.

Count Me In

Yesterday, the census enumerator came to our area and conducted the 2010 Census on Population and Housing. The census data gathered will be used as bases for the formulation of economic development plans and programs. The NCSO also underscord the importance of the said program in businesses and academic research.



While the interview is going on, Dirk is also busy doing some installation outside the house. The garbage collector also came to pick up our trashes. Here at Southforbes, they pick up our garbage twice a week.

The Many Faces of Mimi

How time flies, my grandaughter Jaimee Antonie is turning one year old soon. She's the only kid of my daughter Arianne. Let her picture speaks for themselves, she's really cute.

An Evening with Friends

Last night, our family friends cum neighbor lani and Steve dropped by for a short visit. We have fun talking about life, travel and losing weight. Dirk is a very good influence because he's sharing his ways of removing unwanted pounds. Since he started his diet program, he now lose 32 kilos. His target weight is 100 and 35 kilos more to go.




By the way, our workers already finished putting black grout on our toilet and shower tiles. Before its all white and it just collect dirts.

The Tokyo Pool

After visiting Marianne & Ulli's farm in Canlubang, they decided to have an afternoon dip in the pool. The first choice was Phuket pool but the lifeguard said that they just cleaned the pool and put chlorine in it. So we then drive to the Tokyo Pool and there's an ongoing birthday celebration of the son of one of the provincial Mayor. It's really a wonderful sunday for the Bachmann and Krause family.

Garden Visitors

While watering our plants yesterday, Dirk found two visitors in our garden. The black ants are our permanent residents there and unwanted visitors are welcome as long as they are outside the house.
