A few weeks ago we had a somebody here for a visit. He is from Australia. His name is Leon. We’ve known Leon over the internet for almost for 15 years now. He was a member of the forum that Bob created over the internet. When we moved here in the Philippines 7 years ago Bob and Leon still e-mailing each other. One thing his been e-mailing Bob is how the dental work here and the cost in the Philippines? Bob told him that it’s cheap and the quality of the job is good too. So he was searching on the internet and found some sites that cater to foreigners. So he asked Bob if we know some dentist here in Davao? Bob told him that we know of a good dentist that we can recommend she’s the dentist of our whole family. So he asked Bob if he could get a hold of our dentist because he wants to send her the x-ray of his teeth so that she could gave him the estimate of how much would he will be spending. So when the dentist got his x-ray she told him how much. He was shocked because it’s just one tenth of the cost in Australia. So he came here and have his teeth done. He stayed here for 3 weeks. So Leon was very happy with the result of the dental work here. He told us he can now smile again.

We took him to Bukidnon to see our Italian friend Fr. Franco. Just like us he also likes Fr. Franco a lot. He also tastes some of the liquor creation of Father Franco. Father called it the LBC, really its LAUREL, BASIL, & CINNAMON. Wow that was really strong even just the smell of it. Father also talked to him about living in Bukidnon, he could tell that Leon likes the place.

We also took him to see our other new friends that has a farm in Bukidnon. Wow that place is really something. Just by looking at the side of the mountain you could not tell that their’s a hidden paradise at the other side of it. It’s really a peaceful place. I told Bob I could retire there someday. I love Samal, but that place is amazingly peaceful and quiet.

Anyway, to Leon thank you so much for visiting here to see us too. We really enjoyed having you over. We really like your friend Flor too. She texted me yesterday. Hope you will visit us again soon.

Yesterday we meet up new couple the guy is from Germany his name is Klaus. The wife is originally from Davao who reside in Germany for 16 years her name is Rose. Klaus and Rose decided to lived here in Davao for good over nine years ago. They like it here, even the mother of Klaus came with them to live here. In Germany his mom has some health problems. Now shes feeling great. She really llikes the weather here. Who won’t?

We brought them to Samal to see our land the we just recently purchased. They really like it there, especially the scenery. I told Rose how much we bought the land for and she said the price was reasonable. Gosh, how I wish we could build a house now there. Can’t do that though till our youngest finish up high school. Just dreamin for now. 😉

Anyway, we will meet up Klaus and Rose again on Tuesday at our house. Klaus wants to learn more with this internet thing. He is not an internet guru. ;-). He will soon. I can’t wait to make tsismis with Rose again. Ha Ha Ha. Just kidding guys.

To all the Mom out there Happy, Happy Mother’s Day. I hope you guys have a good mother’s day. I received a message from somebody last sunday and said that ” Motherhood is a tough 24 hour job: No pay, No day off, most often unappreciated; and yet resignation is impossible!”. It’s kind of funny and true, but you know what it’s very rewarding when our kids say I love you and give a hug. At least they gave us one day off. 😉 That’s all that matter.

Wow, It’s been awhile since I last post on this blog. I know it’s not an excuse to be busy. Yesterday I brought my son to his doctor’s appointment. On our way home while walking, we saw a furniture store. I decided to go inside. I was in awe upon looking at their stuff. It was really nice. The quality of the furnitures and paintings are very good. It’s not affordable for the regular people in the Philippines. I think they cater mostly to foreigners. I saw one painting cost P200,000.00.

For me it will just be a window shopping. I don’t think I will purchase stuff from them. It’s expensive.
