Chicken Ala Carte

I was blog hopping a while ago and I saw the recent post at Kevin's blog about this video that made me cry while I was watching it. This is a reality that I always tell my kids whenever they do not want to eat. This is also a very good reminder that we have to be contented and thankful for everything that we have. Even the things that we have is not exactly the ones that we want but still we are fortunate that at least we have something, other's DON'T have anything. Please watch the video guys!

friendly deers

We used to have two or three visitors in our backyard during summer. They are the family of deers that lives nearby our house back in the mainland and we enjoy ourselves watching them eat the apple fruit that fall on the ground from our backyard. This apple tree bears so many fruit every year and our neighbor would come out to our yard and pick 'em and make it into an apple pie since I don't know how to make one hehehe. She makes awesome homemade apple pie. Me and my daughter love eating the fruit because they are sweet although small in size. Yeah, it is obvious on my post that I am missing our home... sigh... The good thing is that we are near to my homeland Philippines, so the air fare for the four of us will be much cheaper compared to the states.

Ambiance

When we were in Legazpi, we stayed to a small family owned hotel. what we Like about Jennifer's Kabayan Hotel is that all the employees are very friendly and welcoming except to one lady. I think she is a manager or something but the majority were pretty nice, even the owner always talks to us when we're outside. The ambiance is awesome, they have a terrace where you can sit and relax, a swimming pool to plunge in when you're feeling hot or sit in the beautifully landscaped garden. it's a very nice place to stay especially when you have kids. The price is unbeatable too compared to other hotels in the area.

Lovely Landscape

Beautiful isn't it? This park used to be an abandoned lot near the road where we always drive by in town. During the cherry blossom festival, they landscaped it into this very pretty park. What amazes me is the material they used, it looks like a dried grass. I don't know what it's called but its very pretty. If you want to see more pictures please click here where I posted the rest. Thanks!

Chilly Walk

We did our family walk by the beach yesterday but it was cold out there that we didn't stay very long. Before going back to the base, I took some pictures of the flowers beside the road. Here are some of the assortment of the gorgeous flowers on the flower beds.

Here's my sweethearts goofing around hehehe.. We ended up playing on the playground area of the school inside the base. EJ made some progress when we went to the Philippines. He can climb to this tall slide by himself, he never did it before because he's afraid. But now, he can jam through it.. And we end up our bonding with some chicken wings and Pizza at Duffy's.
