Astrid's Birthday

My daughter Rose Astrid celebrated her birthday yesterday. Her college and high school friends prepared a combined surprise party for her. A picture of happiness showed on her face when her friends just popped up from somewhere to surprise her. They did bring foods and of course.... fun and memories.

The Southforbes Ladies

After our yoga or aerobic sessions at 8:30-9:30 in the evening, we usually stay for some meeting or doing our community projects. We seldom do it in the clubhouse but at any friends house willing to serve coffee and midnight snacks. I have lack of sleep but i'm enjoying very much what we're doing.

Lunch at Tia Maria

Today, we have again craved for mexican foods so we decided to have lunch at Tia Maria at Festival mall. It is known for serving mexican favorites SAMPLER, which comprises: Spareribs , Quesadillas, Mexican Pizza, Spicy Buffalo Wings, Cheese and Jalapeño Flautas, Taquitos and Nachos. It is one of the country's pioneers and leading exponents of this cuisine.

The Carolers

After our yoga session last night, we proceeded to Imee's place again for a meeting regarding our christmas activities. We also practiced some christmas song for our caroling next month. It was really fun, its more of laughing than singing.

Driving in the Philippines

The thought of driving here in the Philippines really never cross my mind. I'm used to drive in Germany where there are clear road signs and people follow strict traffic rules. Dirk is now very much adjusted in driving here where you need more eyes left, right, front and back. Full concentration is very important considering the agressive nature of the public transport drivers. Always be ready on whatever you encountered on the road, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, tricyles, puschcarts and animals which might unexpectedly pull out in front of you. I only drive inside and outside our subdivision and its enough for now.

Foods and Friends again

Both of us were craving for Lechon Kawali yesterday so we decided to eat at Grace and Rose Restaurant for lunch. In the late afternoon, a good neighbor/friend invited us at their place for an alkaline water presentation. It's a Kangen water that will cleansed the body and can cure of many sickness.

Keith@1 month old

Yesterday, my youngest grandson celebrated his first month into this world. Keith Jedrick's visitors includes my relatives and the Mcdonald colleagues of my daughter. They probably have lots of fun while feasting on the foods prepared by my eldest sister (not mcdonalds they have enough of it already)
