Anthony's Birthday Celebration

 How time flies very fast, my first born Anthony is now 41 years old. I gave birth to him when i was still young and it is in him i developed the mother in me.  I know i have some flaws as a mom but i think overall i was able to raised all of them properly. He just have a simple birthday celebration with family and my wish for him is good health, hopefully his blood pressure will soon return to normal. I wish him all the best and for him to continue to be a good son, brother, uncle, grandfather and father to all his children. May God bless his family always...

By the way, below are some old photos of my children and grandchildren. They are now all grown ups and looking at them brings a lot of memories....

Our King

 My Kingking who lived with me for three years is now very happy living with the family of my daughter Arianne. He is now a "changed" dog because he used to be an aggressive pup. I think it helps a lot if he is surrounded by people and other dogs because here its just me and Dirk. Though he still recognize me, he is now more at home with my family in San Pedro where they truly belong because his mom Chay used to live there.

Covid 19 Fear

 Corona virus is real and its really affecting a lot of people and getting closer to home. With the new delta variant, it is more contagious because of fast mutation among people. In our family, my nephew Jon was tested positive for the virus and believe it or not, he was not admitted to 15 hospitals because of full capacity. Its good that he was able to recover with the home treatment. Another nephew Martin is also experiencing some symptoms but thank God he tested negative. It is really getting scarier because everyday, lots of people died from this virus. It is really very important to follow health and safety protocols even we are fully vaccinated.

 By the way, i am also sending hugs and prayers to my only brother who is suffering from cancer. Its hard if people close to your heart are terminally ill, i just hope and pray that he will be fine so that he can still be with his family.

Cousins Bonding

 My niece Mary Ann and her husband Bernd from Germany is currently in Canada to visit the family. They started exploring Edmonton with Marivic's family and also drive to Calgary to see my daughter. While in Calgary, they did visited the famous Banff, Moraine lake, Lake Louis, Calgary downtown and more. After 11 years they finally see each other and bond to the max.

My Daughter's Friends

 I lived and work abroad for more than ten years and i know the feeling to be away with family. Homesickness is always there and the best way to beat this emotion of missing home is to be with friends. My daughters Astrid and Belle are no exception, they braved the longing for home being busy with their respective work and of course spending fun time with friends. 

My Grandkids up North

 Time flies very fast, my grandchildren who lives in Cabanatuan are now grown ups and a little bit heavier. Argie, my eldest grandson is now a father to Chamcham and hopefully he is as good as his Daddy Tony. I loved all my grandchildren and always included them in my prayers everyday.

King, one of our royal doggie live up to his name because this is his favorite spot for sleeping.
