Adventurous Family

Since I was a kid, I did really dream to visit any of Disney land world. It’s not new to the kids that they’re dreaming to go to Disney land. I saw once in a news paper about Disney land. And since then I really wanted to visit Disney and live in a Disney World hotels where everything inside the hotels are really cute. I’m even dreaming on living in a hotel where there is a cartoon specialized. I’m still “young” so I’m not losing hope that I can visit Disney land someday.

My sister Marlyn, brother Marlon, Gina and her family are back in Manila from their one week vacation in our hometown. As I know, it was raining almost the whole week so it was boring but never stop them to visit their friends.

My brother Marlon met his high school friends and last Saturday, they had a family party at home.

Looking forward to see their pictures…

It’s another January birthday coming tomorrow.

It’s my brother Elezers birthday tomorrow. Elezer is my first brother. Second siblings but eldest boy. Just yesterday, they went home to province from their holiday vacation in Manila so I don’t know yet what would be their celebrations tomorrow.

Elezer is working in some agricultural office/work in our province and at the same time he has his own business plus he’s the one managing our family farm. He’s very busy but still he managed to spend time to hi two sons and wife.

I wish him the very best of everything. Good health as always because sometimes he don’t care about eating. He’s just doing his work. And of course more blessings to come for him and his family. I love you bro always. Stay very sweet as you always are.

Happy New Year everyone.

As usual our New Year was just kind of normal night. Besides of the fireworks, I didn’t really feel that it was year ending night. I felt so boring knowing that i’m not with my family.

We cooked foods but eating wasn’t not really my trip. I was thinking my family in Philippines and that made me feel sad. My husband trying to something for me to be happy but it wasn’t working.

The night was ended. But at least I chatted a bit with my family in Philippines. Here are some of my family pictures during New Years eve.

I’m really excited!!!

Tomorrow I and my Filipina friends are going to have Christmas dinner at Kalesa Filipino restaurants. Kalesa is the first Filipino restaurant here in Gothenburg (as I know) and it’s the first time that they’re having a Christmas food table.

At first Kalesa owner thought of doing their Christmas food table just one day (Saturday) but due to public demand and fully booked on Saturday, he decided to have two days. So it will be Friday and Saturday and we will eat on Friday. Thanks to Kalesa restaurant for having Friday too because if they don’t have Friday then we cannot eat there.

Of course the menu are all Filipino foods. Typical Filipino Christmas foods will be in the table plus the over sweetness dessert. Yummy!!!

Christmas 2008

My youngest brother who is working in Saudi is going home to Philippines this holiday but unfortunately my brother who is currently working in Kuwait cannot come home. His boss did not allow him to leave from work.

Sad but I maybe cannot go home too. I still don’t get the result of my university applications so as long as I don’t get it, my husband will not buy ticket for me. We agreed that if ever my application is accept, I can go home for holiday but if not then I cannot go home .

My husband will have his vacation on January so we agreed also that if I cannot go to university on January, we will travel together to Spain or Greece on January but no Philippines this holiday.

Huh!! still don’t know. Nothing to do as of now is to just wait.

My husband is sweets lovers. Sometimes it comes to the point that I stopped him because I’m a kind of worried about what would be the results of too much eating sweets. Just recently, I found this shop for desserts online and I’m really amazed of how it looks. Looks really yummy. as I searching their different flavors, there are some that it’s not too sweet but really yummy. I’m thinking of giving dessert gift to my husband this coming Christmas. My husband would absolutely happy if he received this kind of gifts. Sounds perfect, right?

Until now, I haven’t decided yet if I’m going home or not.

My husband and I had a talk last night about of my planning vacation this Christmas to Philippines. I will spend more than 150, 000 pesos for my tickets and allowance in Philippines. Aside from that, I will buy new set of eyeglasses and do some dental check up and some shopping. So probably I will spend around 200, 000 pesos for that planning vacation.

It’s too much money especially now that we need to save because we’re moving in to our new apartment. We buy new apartment and aside of the cost of that apartment, we need to buy new furniture. Of course there will be few more things that need to be purchased before we move in so having vacation is a kind of self fish.

My husband said, he will give me everything (I know that) but I cannot just spend the money when that I know we need it.

I love my family  and of course I want to be with them this holiday seasons but I hope they will understand me if ever I cannot come home. I need to think so many times because it’s about my family in Philippines and my husband.

What will I do? I don’t really know as of the moment.

my father’s last Christmas with us, 2004

I’m jealous!!!

I always have communication with my family in Philippines and my brothers in Kuwait and Saudi but I’m still missing them so much. Talking through internet is not the same as having conversation in person.

All of them are happy because they will be celebrating Christmas and New Year together. My brothers are coming home for Christmas and my other brother and his family will flying to Manila too. My mother will also be in Manila December 21.

Sadly its only me..as in ONLY me who couldn’t make this December. There are some reasons why I couldn’t make it but I’ll be hoping until last minute of December that I can be home and be with my family on holiday seasons.

If ever I can be home, this will be our Christmas again as together (as one family) after my father’s death. The last time we were all together was last December of 2004 when my father was still alive.

I really wish I can be with them… if not, that’s life. I don’t want to be self fish and just think of myself. I have my own family now that I need to be consider whatever decision I would make.
