Farewell, Arvi John.

Last October 16 is a very very sad day for all of us because my stepson, our bunsoy joined our Creator because of dengue. My children was really devastated of the news that their youngest brother is gone. Last year, thru Facebook my daughter Astrid was able to find her long lost step brother and start reconnecting with the family. He was surprised at first but later on very happy because he met his real father and siblings. He has no idea that we exists but we all know about him since he was born 17 years ago. I treated him just like my own kid and we even exchanges some chats in FB expressing our love and concern for each other. He just turned 17 and two days later he's gone thats why we're all in shocked. Its just more than a year since we met you but i know you are also happy meeting your new family in us.I know that you're in good hands now with the Lord and you will be forever in our hearts, we love you, rests in peace Arvi.

Balikbayan Boxes

I was not able to blog last week because of my daughter's visit here but now i'm back again in the blogsphere. My family was very happy because of her gifts to everyone and it became double happiness when the balikbayan boxes of Belle and Astrid arrived in the same day. Those boxes are the fruits of their labor in canada and qatar. We are all very happy especially the kids and for me its a big help that i will not buy dishwashing liquids. washing powder, toothpaste, etc for a few months. Thanks again to my OFW daughters for providing us some of our needs.

By the way our four-legged housemate also has her share from the balikbayan box

Jaimee, our Quiz Bee Princess

My grandaughter Jaimee Antonie topped again the science quiz for Grade I students. We are very proud again of her achievements thats why a small reward from her mom makes her happy and achieve more.

Astrid and Her Friends in Qatar

Life of an overseas worker is not that easy, you have to deal with homesickness and the everyday stress at work. Luckily for my daughter and her friends, they seem to find ways to balance work and friendships.

Happy Dirk

I'm glad that there are mobile watch phones that has internet and serve as phone as well. With this latest technology i can now be able to reach Dirk especially when we're at shopping malls and other places. Because of his severe stroke three years ago, its hard for him to use a cellphone and this new gadget solve the problem.

Happy Birthday Argie

Argie Neil, my eldest grandson celebrated his 15th birthday at their place in cabanatuan. Though we live hundred of kilometers apart, i know that he received all his warm greetings from family and friends. Happy birthday apo and wishing you happiness and hope that all your dreams come true.

The German Restaurant

We're happy that there are many restaurants here in our area serving pinoy, asian and western dishes. Dirk liked very much the german restaurant 2.0 located at laguna central near shopwise. We sometimes eat there when we crave for german foods.
