The Nuvali Wanderers

We spend the day after christmas at Nuvali Solenad near our place. Its not surprising that there are lots of people there for eating, shopping, boat riding, picnic and fish feeding. Its sunday and its family day for most of us Pinoys. While the people are busy with their activities at the center part of Nuvali, we chose to wander along the man made lake watching the boats and enjoying the green scenery.

Merry Christmas to All !!!!!

Christmas is a time of God showing His great love for us, a season of great joy. Of course the perfect way to spend the holiday season is with your loved ones. Christmas is also giving and sharing your blessings to less privileged ones. It becomes our tradition every year to drive to my sisters place for family get together. Its already the third year that Dirk played Santa to kids lining up for some christmas presents.

The Bulb Tale

After one month, the LED light that Dirk bought at Ebay arrived. It is a test light for our subdivision to minimize energy consumption. Using his ebay german account, he bought the bulb at ebay UK and the bulb came from Hongkong and shipped to the Philippines.


By the way, after playing bowling at the Mills Country Club, we did drive to Chateaux de Paris here at Southforbes for some photo ops at the clubhous infinity pool.



Its just normal to have muscle and joint pains after every play so we decided to use our complimentary massage at the newly opened MSA Spa in front of our subdivision today.

Moments with the Zarn

We have the opportunity to bond with the Zarn family during their 3 week stay in the Philippines. They are our family friends and soon to be neighbor. Through this blog, we want to wish them a merry christmas and a prosperous new year. I'm praying and hope that your dream house will be in reality soon.

Steak Madness

Today we did try to have lunch at a steak house in Alabang as per recommendation of our friends. Looking at the menu, the foods are really very very expensive. Though its out of the world pricey, we did ordered the house steaks specialty. When our order arrived, we were dissapointed on how they cook the steaks. Dirk argued with the manager, compromise but we'll never set our foot there again.

Dirk's Birthday

Today, my schatz started celebrating his birthday with a buffet lunch at Italian Restaurant at Paseo de Santa Rosa. It was then followed by a sumptuous dinner in the sky at Vivere Suite in Alabang. The big boy was very happy on his 55th birthday celebration for he is surrounded by his loving family and friends. Mutti at her age of 80 specially visited us here to celebrate with us.

The Ladies in Red

At my nephew's wedding yesterday, i prefer to wear red than follow the traditional motif of the wedding. For us sponsors, the couple did not demand us to wear something with violet, yellow and pink color. Though i can use my other gown with violet accent, i choose red its because i wanted to stand out, beside its one of the color of christmas and a lucky color too. Anyway, i am not the only one wearing red, my niece who is the elder sister of the groom also wore red outfit. We have both things in common, we shared the same birthmonth and zodiac sign.
