As I write this, we are a few hours away from flying back to the States. I'm sad about leaving 'home' on this side of the globe though look forward to coming home Stateside. It has been a fantastic trip particularly being with my family especially with the goose seeing her grandparents and meeting her aunts, uncles, and cousins face-to-face. Seeing them on Skype ever so often just does not compare to being with them these last three weeks. I do hope we get to fly back soon; and with Kelly in the future. I will miss my friends who I caught up with this time but am advised to open a Facebook page since I appear to be the only one left without one. They apparently have been keeping up with each other through there.
Mom and Dad took us out to lunch today at a place called Fely J.'s which is a Filipino
restaurant with a modern ambiance. If you happen to go there, order the "Sekreto ni Maria" - a suman (rice cake) dessert with mango slices and a cream sauce. Its great! Sorry, no pic - we ate it before I could take one. Pictured at right is an appetizer called 'crab tofu'; crab on top of tofu cakes with veggies and a light sauce. This one's ewcellent as well.Kelly requested I take pics and videos of our house so all of you can see what it looks like. Below was taken from across the street. (The gardener I think was off this day..)
And here is what it looks like inside the fence..(Uh oh.. I can't figure out how to link the movies for now so I'll come back and complete this section after a couple of days.)
Here's Michael Jackson practicing in our vestibule..
I will certainly miss Luigi who the goose and I have become fond of. I tease him when I see Lolay (grandma) and tell him that 'she's my lolay!'. He comes and tries to fend me off of mom to claim her as his. What a character!
This is my aunt, Ining. She's mom's baby sister.
Last night's pics: Of course I'll miss everybody too
