Wow, it's December again soon time for shopping of course. I just can't believe it that the 2007 is almost ending. As if it was just yesterday that we celebrated the 2006 Christmas. Time really fly so quickly. I felt I was just shopping from Christmas last year. I have to get busy in the next few days because this is also the time of the year for our business to get going. I have to shop for my mother-in-laws gifts to our kids too. She didn't send the balikbayan boxes this year because she was here in the Philippines from August-October. When she went back to the States it's too late for her to send. Last Christmas she was here with us. The kids … [Read more...]

Wow, another year to celebrate Thanksgiving again. Being here in the Philippines for over 7 years now, It's so good to celebrate it here nowadays.

We bought turkey through our neighbor. The turkey is not that good, very tough we just had the native one. Now, practically every mall in Davao has a butterball turkey and the yams and pumpkin. Today supposed to be the Thanksgiving, but we will celebrate it this coming Saturday. The kids are in school today, so we moved it … [Read more...]

Yesterday night I had a pleasure to have a friend that cooked for us. He was from the UK. His name is Steve. We knew Steve through John. They both live here in Davao. They were kind enough to come to our house and prepared dinner for us. I was kind of assisting and trying to learn from Steve on his good recipe. My mouth still drooling from it. Honestly all of us pig out that night. Can't help it though. Steve prepared a typical Sunday roast, with roasted potato, mushroom stir-fry, steam carrots and broccoli. Of course the yorkshire pudding(not a dessert). It was delicious. I am so proud to say that we made it from scratch. That was the first … [Read more...]

A few weeks ago we got a puppy from our friend Klaus and Rosana. Upon seeing at their house prior to getting her, Bob and I always thought that the puppies are really cute. They are very clean too. We really like it a lot. Later as the days goes by when Bob and I went to their house. We really did admired the puppies more and more. So finally one day we decided to surprised our kids, Bob asked me to call up Klaus and Rosana and asked them if they could give us one puppy? Rose then told me that she will ask Mutti( German for mom) if they could give away one puppy. Rose got on the phone again and told me that Mutti said it's okay because she really … [Read more...]
