Birthday Pampering

First of all, A blessed Christmas to Everyone!!!

Its pampering day for Dirk and me last sunday. The weather was sooo bad that we just decided to have massage, foot spa, pedicure/manicure and haircut for Dirk in preparation for his birthday celebration the next day.

Revisiting Tutuban

For a change, we took a PNR train going to Tutuban together with my friends. Its such a wonderful experience riding a public transport. Its very fast and convenient going there but as always, Divisoria is always full of shoppers from all walks of life. We really enjoyed the trip, the shopping spree but the sad part is seeing those poor peole living near the railroad. I just hope that the government will do something to uplift the living condition of the less fortunate living along that area.

Rose Belle's Birthday

For the first time my daughter celebrated her birthday away from home. I know how she terribly missed her two young sons but she is strong enough to fight homesickness to give them a better future. For her 30th birthday, she has two celebrations, in our family home in San Pedro and in Canada together with her colleague and friends. To you Neng, belated happy birthday and always remember, we love and missed you so much.

My Daughter as OFW

Every year, more than a million Filipinos leave our country to work in foreign countries where their services are needed. The OFWs are some of the most preferred workers in the world because of their possitive attitude to their work, specialized skills, their being friendly and acommodating, their willingness to work on extended hours and their ability to speak the English language. My daughter Rose Belle is no exception where she is working in one of the fastfood chain in Canada. She's now adjusting very well to her new environment and newfound friends. She's very happy that there are some restaurants selling filipino foods, a cure for homesickness.

Despite the hazzard and the problems that the OFWs face in their respective work places, they continue to work and serve their employers well, just to be able to send money to their families and loved ones in the Philippines. And for these efforts, they deserve to be called unsung heroes of the Philippines. They are the main reason why our country survived despite global economic crisis.

Sunday with Friends

After attending the sunday mass at St. Benedict where the seminarians rendered christmas songs, we decided to try the Southforbes driving range for a change. It was my first try and i find it interesting. Aside from bowling, i'm also going to start practicing my golf swings. We then have a coffee time at home and dinner at Racks Paseo.
