Dinner with Friends

After playing bowling at StarMall in Alabang yesterday, we proceeded to Rose&Grace restaurant in Paseo de Santa Rosa for early dinner. We decided on this restaurant because its specialties are filipino foods. We did order Lechon Paksiw, Fish Sinigang and Ginisang Ampalaya. For our drinks, we choose gulaman and sago. The foods are sooo delicious and it really satisfies our cravings for pinoy foods.

Dirk, the Construction Worker

For the past days Dirk busied himself constructing a row of hollow blocks at the back of our house. Everyday he puts two and it will be finish soon, the next step will be plastering and he has second thought of doing it or he might just leave it to the professionals.

Filipino Foods and Delicacies

Today's lunch is at Rose and Grace restaurant near our place. Dirk's favorite pinoy foods is Lumpiang Sariwa and Lechon Kawali. I really miss the foods below and there are really times that we craved for some filipino dishes.

Week One in the Philippines

We have done a lot of activities a week after arriving here in the Philippines. We started having lunch again at our favorite restaurants and some window shopping on newly opened stores in Paseo. Yesterday, we also visited a friend's property in Canyon Woods in Tagaytay where he is planning to build his dream house overlooking the Taal Lake. It was such a wonderful scenery but i cannot find myself living close to nature, i am more of a city girl.

A Perfect Sunday

Its our third day here in the Philippines and i started my sunday attending mass at St. Benedict Church. I really miss doing my religious duties in Germany and i can only do it here but of course i never fail to pray the rosary everyday. We then drive to Festival Mall in Alabang to shop for our ventilator at Robinsons and to browse around the shopping center. We also shopped for our foods at South supermarket near our place before calling it a day.

Our New Home in Germany

Since last year we dont have anymore a permanent home because when we're in Germany we live in different vacation houses. Its really very hard for us to carry around our personal stuff and sometimes we have problems with our bookings so we need to move in 3 vacation houses in just a month. Now, gone are the days of being a "tourist" and we now have a place we can called our own. Its just a small apartment but its soooo cozy, just enough for us to live conveniently. Its near the shopping centers, restaurants and train station. Now i'm back to being a city girl again and i really love our new HOME.
