We have landed

We just got back and still exhausted but I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your undying support and prayers for us. May God bless you for having such a compassionate hearts who are willing to comfort people who are in pain like us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all so much!

Thank you all for your support!

I barely slept last night thinking about my brother, his family situation, and my mother. Mama's memory of Papa's death is still fresh so she is finding a hard time accepting the truth that the second father to the family is now gone. I talked to her on the phone yesterday and she wants me there to help with the situation. How I wish I could just ride a jeepney and be there. To give her a hug and comfort her. It is very painful to me and I know that it is more painful to a mother. I grew up with my brother and it is so hard for me to accept the truth too. I am actually in denial, thinking that all of these are just dreams.. bad dreams.. Thank you all so much for your comforting words and for the prayers, I really need it right now. I know that God has plans and I am not questioning HIS will.

We are leaving tonight...

Again my sincere gratitude to all of you who offers us such a strong support through your prayers and encouraging words. We will be flying tonight going to the Philippines to attend to my brother's funeral.

I am sorry for not being able to visit you for a while. I'll visit you back when we come back. Please include us in your prayers especially my children, for them not to catch the h1n1 virus that is going around the country. Thank you all once again!

Special thanks to Mads Fe (Germany) of Around nature Spring, Malou (New York) of The Journey, Ate Beth (Germany) of Missing Pinas, Seiko Misaki Fukami (Japan) of Seiko's Diary, and Ate Lelet (Korea) for your generous donations to the family.

My brother died...

I just receive a horrible news back home, my brother died from a motorcycle accident yesterday. Please help us pray, thank you!

and the BBQ feast has begun..

We went for a walk yesterday and as we pass by our neighbor, we smelled some barbecue. My husband said "We should make some bbq tomorrow." So I marinated the meat last night so we could make some bbq today. While waiting for my husband to arrive, my burritos and I cleaned up the grill.. The daughter took some photos while the mom cleans up lol.. (pictures were taken at the back porch) We have two grills here. We bought the bigger one last year and when my husband's buddy was leaving, he gave us his small one. Does anyone need one, you can have the small one for free.. you have to come here though hehehe.. My daughter scratching her elbow because the pesky skitters bit her again... I killed a lot of them while were out though.. revenge!The marinated meat.. Meat in the skewers.. The BBQ team, grilling.. And here's the end product... TADAH! YUMMY! I just wish we have some achara hehehe..Thanks for visiting everyone!
