Proud as I can be

June 19 of last year, we received a package from my sister in law from the States. Rylie was so excited because most of its content was hers. She got her very first helmet, although she didn't know how to use the big bike yet, she was so happy. I told her to try her big bike. She was hesitant at first but she tried it anyway and I was so amazed that she learned it so quickly. I am so proud of you Anak!

This is one of Rylie's precious milestones. First time to be able to use her big bike by herself

Night Time Predator

One of the main problems we're having, being overseas, is the mosquitoes. Our house is located near a mountain with trees. During summer time, mosquitoes are everywhere. Every time we open our door, some of them manage to sneak in. Then later that night, they attack us....especially our daughter.

My husband and daughter are very sensitive to mosquito bites; swelling occurs easily and it takes time for the bites to fade. Our daughter often wakes in the middle of the night complaining about the itching sensation caused by the numerous bites she aquired while being asleep. We try to keep her body covered as much as possible but they still attack her face.

We became so fed up with the situation that we purchased a small mosquito tent which fits nicely over a twin mattress. So far, we have had success, not a single bite and she sleeps through the night. Thank God! I hope that these "blood thirsty" little beasts won't bother my daughter anymore. Our only concern now is crawling insects. This area is known for its heavy population of centipedes. We must always ensure these invaders can't get inside the net. We pray to God for continued success.

Even now that is cold already, we still see some mosquitoes flying around. I am glad that in two weeks time, we're outta here. I'll sure miss Korea but not the mosquitos!

Operation smile

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. ~Author Unknown

Hi Clang, I know that you are experiencing a great loss right now but be reminded that there are still a lot of things to smile and thank the Lord about. Smile and be merry because it is your birthday.

This tag comes with rules to post your sweet smile and the smile quote for someone special who is celebrating her birthday today. Happy birthday Clang.

Gone with the Wind

We had a brown out today from 9 am to 6 pm so we decided to go to Busan International Market with my student Amy. I took a lot of pictures but unfortunately my camera got sick and threw up, she was in comatose for a while so we had to reformat her.. I lost every picture I had in there wahhhhhhhh.. I need a new one.. I am so annoyed that my camera let me down today heiiizzzz, the memories that I captured was gone...SIGH....

But anyhow, aside from my camera's dilemma, we had fun. My kids enjoyed feeding the pigeons at the park, we enjoyed taking pictures (which was lost grrrrr) and we shop till our wallet dropped lol... Today's adventure ended at the Chinese resto where we devoured tastylicious foodie (just imagine friends that I posted several pics)... God bless everyone!

Hey, wait a minute, Amy sent me this... Mwah, you're an angel Amy!

Hala sige anak habulin mo yan, bigyan mo kasi ng food hehehe..

Note: This is just a repost from my last year's post. We will be going somewhere so I'll just share this one for my Camera Critters.

Have a great weekend everyone!
