Saturday in Manila

We just came back from our Manila adventure where we attended the seminar for Franchising in Pasig City and bought a new wakeboard gadget in Horsehoe village in Quezon City. We briefly passed the Greenhills Shopping Center and was amazed by its improvement. I told Dirk that we should do our shopping there next time we return from Germany.

Mimi and Ulay Goes to Preschool

The first day of school is one of every child's biggest milestone. Last wednesday, my two grandaughters are very excited to attend their nursery class. Its the first time for Mimi while Ulay already attended a day care before. Ulay who is older cried and she was comforted by Mimi by telling her that she should not worry because they are together in class.

Late Birthday Gifts

My daughter who is based in Canada gave me some gifts through the kind accomodation of a very good couple, Jim and Yna Haskett. My daughter is always joking that its payback time but i told her that i'm not expecting any in return from my children. Its enough that i already gave them some education to established their roots and its up to them to use their wings.

Happy Fathers Day to All

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my schatz Dirk for being a father to my kids for more than ten years. Words are not enough to describe his goodness to my family. He may not be a perfect father but he did his best to be one. Happy Papi's day to you Schatz, to all Fathers and those who are liked Father to everyone. Your roles in this world are numerous and deserved to be remembered not only on this day but everyday.

Foot Massage in Beijing

We have a very wonderful three-day trip to Beijing which involves a lot of walking to the main attractions like The Great Wall of China, The Forbidden City and many more. At the end of our trip, we pampered ourselves with a foot massage and it somehow rejuvenated our feet, legs and muscles.

Back to Normal

Thank God, my cholesterol levels is back to the normal range. For the past years, i'm battling with high cholesterol levels and i know its not healthy. So i tried to changed my diet and lifestyle, did a lot of exercise, took the Natures Aid cod liver oil with omega 3 capsule and fresh pineapple juice. I also eat more fruits now and shifted to chicken instead of pork. Hopefully i can still make the number lower.

My New Role

In my desire to serve God and the church in my own little way, i volunteered as wedding marshalls at St. Benedict Church near Ayala Westgrove. As first timer, i just assist and observed what the head marshalls are doing and i find it fulfilling. I really loved weddings and i enjoyed seeing those nicely dressed entourage and the newlyweds important moment of their lives. They also gave some of the flowers to me and i offered it to Mama Mary at home.
