Bowling at the Mills

I just came back from our bowling stint at the Mills and Country Club with my dear friends. Unlike our "all-filipino" play last saturday, this game is with our respective "white partners". In between bowling and coffee, we have lots of fun exchanging jokes and the never ending girly talks.

The Old Spaghetti House

It seems that the spaghetti house located at the new paseo becomes our favorite restaurant. Its because they are now offering a set menu which includes ice tea, pasta, small portion salad, rice and meat/fish dishes. The price quality relationship is good but they offer the combo meals from 11 to 2pm only.

Sunday at Festival Mall

Filipino families impulsively prefer malling during weekends and holidays. Its a sort of family bonding while doing some window shopping, eating and watching movie. Yesterday, we also browsed around festival mall and have lunch at Tia Maria's, our favorite mexican restaurant. The good thing here in the Philippines is that shopping centers and moviehouses are open the whole year round. In Germany, majority of the stores are closed and only the gasoline station and few coffee shops are open during sundays and holidays.

Sport Bonding with Friends

While the first ladies are busy with bowling, the men in our lives are playing billiard. Its really a good form of bonding with our friends and neighbors at Southforbes. Aside from playing bowling and billiard, Dirk also played Dart. The Mills Country Club now becomes our second home for sport activities.

Aero 2011

To get rid of the unwanted kilos i gained during the holiday season, i attended the first aerobic session for 2011 at our villas clubhouse. I'm very happy to see my aero mates and hopefully the number of attendees will increase in the coming session.




By the way, i started removing our christmas decorations and that made me lose some grams in my body.

Despedida Party

After buying some construction materials at Home depot and clothing materials at Star Mall, we did drive to my sister's place at Southpeak to attend the despedida party for my brother in law. It was a sort of family reunion and we enjoyed having fun with some of our relatives and friends.

High Hopes for 2011

Our country faced a lot of challenges in the past years and hopefully, hoping against hope that there will be some improvement in the life of Filipinos under the new administration. For me, i will always be thankful for all the blessings in my life. With all the new year preparation in the past days, we started the year by shopping for our food at SM. My daughter Rose Belle was also there to watch the movie with my grandkids.
