Back to Homeland

We're again here but not yet for good. We arrived the other day and dirk's best friend joined us this time. The flight was a smooth one but very tiring.

We used the new Gate for Kuwait Airways for the first time.

We need to take a bus going to the plane

Our first stop-over is at Kuwait International Airport

The next stop is Bangkok where Thai cleaners clean up the mess


I'm very glad to see my family, i'm going to see my other children and grandkids soon

The first days were spent unpacking our stuff for our new home

Happy Halloween

Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31 in which the colours black and orange have become associated with the celebrations, perhaps because of the darkness of night and the colour of fire or of pumpkins.


Even in the city shopping center, there's a statue ghost trying to scare the kids. There will be lots of halloween costume parties tonight and there will be trick and treats for the kids.


It is a custom for children on Halloween. Children proceed in costume from house to house, asking for treats such as confectionery, or sometimes money, with the question, “Trick or treat?” The “trick” is an idle threat to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given. This is normally an empty threat, because it is rare that any such trick is ever played (source-wikipedia)

The New Passageway

It's very foggy last sunday. It also rained that day and its so serene when you look around. I grabbed my camera and take shots of the mountain hidden by fog.


While waiting for the gas station to open, i took photo of the new passageway leading to Offenburg train station. They constructed a new and secured one though the other "tunnel" on the opposite side is still passable for train passengers. But its more dangerous to walk alone in the old passageway, there are reported crimes that happened to people while walking alone because there's no hidden camera and there's no security manning the area.

Below is my best friend Joy and her Panggo

Lunch with Friends (again!!!)

Today, we have a sumptuous lunch at Elena's place. She cooked Dinuguan, her own version with Kohlrabi and paprika, adobo, and fried chicken. My commenters in my main blog noticed that we like to meet and eat. Pinoys here really love to eat and we really have a good appetite when we're eating and talking together. Our dessert is of course my leche plan and elena's tiramisu cream.


Dinuguan and Fried Chicken

My friends, oh! look at Agnes, caught in the act of eating while we're posing for the camera

Elena and her daughter Vanessa, how time flies very fast, i still remember pushing her stroller when she's still a baby, look at her now, she acts and dress like a lady.

Elena and Vanessa's new toy is the balance board where you can do some sports, yoga, aerobics, etc.

City Shopping

Yesterday, i did drive to the city to buy some girls stuff. It's saturday so there are many weekend shoppers taking advantage of the sale at H&M store, Pimkie, etc. I am not anymore lured to shop on these stores because i have more than enough junks already.

While walking along the coffee shops, i saw Annalyn, wearing blue pullover and boots. She is known here for her fancy kind of dressing, sometimes wearing all red, pink, silver, yellow, gold, polka dot, tiger-look, barbie, spaceship girl,black & white and other colors from head to foot.

Seminar Workshop at Home

For two days, Dirk conducted a training and seminar workshop at home. The three employees of a beer company was billeted at Hotel Engel which is just 5 minutes walk from our house.

The beer company is one of our major customer and they send their employees for training on computer software applications.

The Pumpkin

When summer is over, autumn fills the air and the landscape changes colors. It is also a great time to change up your home decor for the new season. Bringing this magic inside a home, autumn decorating is a lot of fun and natures offers plenty to work with. One creative but underused decorating item is the pumpkin which you can use as vase and table displays.
