Resort in Batangas with family

Time flies so fast and it has been a year since we visited my family in the Philippines. It was a only a short vacation for us but we were so happy even just for a short time. How i wish we could visit them again and go to the beach with everybody kahit na maitim ang buhangin hahaha and i also wish to eat tender juicy hotdog again ( hahaha nag-promote pa ) wala dito nyan sa amin :))))

see the hotdog girl with my panganay na ate

with my mom na nahihirapan ng ngumuya dahil wala ng ipin hehehe

with my fafa father and one and only brothaaa

Bibingclara with her favorite kalaro cousin moises

ang mga inihaw na muntik ng mailado dahil sa tagal ng byahe-- credits dun sa namalengke

ang mga magaganda at seksi kong mga pamangkins

enjoy na enjoy

see nag hu-hooray pa ...

ang mag-bayaw ( nagbobolahan yan )

at ang aking anak na me buco juice sa tabi ( free yan mula sa cocotier sa tabi )

to be honest, nasunog ang malaluya kong paa dahil ang inet ng buhangin ... barefooted ang peg ko di kinaya ng powers

at ang view ng pinaaarawang palay ( kelan kaya isasaing ito?  )
Masaya, halo-halong emotion ng last day namin sa beach pero kahit ano mang eksena ang nangyari that day, nagpapasalamat pa din ako na nakasama ko ang aking pamilya kahit na merong kulang... ayokong mag-drama kaya ....kumain nalang ulet ako ng hotdog heheheh :)

Hair cut at tiny tots

Speaking of hairs, this is the first haircut expecience of Bibingclara when we were in the Philippines. She was only 18months so nauuto ko pa sya. Syempre lahat ng bata mahirap gupitan kasi malikot kaya ang stage mother nasa tabi hahaha :)

buti nalang mahaba ang pasensiya ni ate ...

si Bibingclara kalikot dito, kalikot doon

i forgot how much we paid it just took little time then tapos na meron pa nga silang tindang mga accessories sa buhok kaso hindi kame bumili kasi di naman nag-iipit o nag-riribbon si Bibingclara that time.

about 3 years old, dito naman sa aming hairdresser just to have her hair trim.

and the last visit before she turned 5 years old ... ayan medyo serious na sya.

short cut is no no no ok with her... bawas, bawas lang ..

At dyan nagtatapos ang kanyang haircut experience about 3 times mula nung baby pa sya. Ngayon, naku po hindi mo na maaya sa pagupitan hehehe :)))

Disaster of typhoon Yolanda

A long silence after the disaster of Typhon Haiyan  also known as Yolanda. The strongest typhoon ever recorded. I have been so sad while watching the news seeing the catastrophic. 10,000 people died. So badly sad for our country. 

Bangon Pilipinas! 

My deepest sympathy to the people who lost their families, and hopes to those people to gets stronger and dont give up. We are not alone, aids are from everywhere. Kaya natin ito! Let's us not give up and Be strong to rebuild.

Musée Du Quai Branly

Last sunday we went to Quai Branly Museum and to our surprise, free Entrance pala! why? kasi Philippines week daw. And this coming sunday, free ulit ang entrance ( here all museums is free during 1st sunday of the month ) yeah, i am planning to come back again this coming sunday to profit the exposition of our own. Actually, i bought already ticket a week ago, but i will save it for next time, i mean next time visit to Musée Du Quai Branly ;).

Spring vacation in Philippines!

 Bulul with little Bibingclara at the entree

 at the entrance of the exposition

 it was not my first time in the museum so i already seen some in the display

 my first visit was year 2008 ( Bibingclara in the belly ) it was also first sunday so no ticket entrance and priority entrance ( i mean no queue's for the pregnant lady )

 ohhh ang kwintas ng fighter ( beautiful ) asking? pede din kaya ako magsuot nito kahit di ako fighter?

 this one is also nice panglalaki! kaya nga collier de guerrier ( warrior's necklace )

 North of Luzon, Cordillera, Mountain Province ... sa sobrang bilis hindi ko na nabasa lahat ng tags dahil hindi na interesado ang aking unica hija naiinip na sya ..

 ang Miss na nagkukuwento ng mga alamat ( naalala ko tuloy nung sa elementarya ) hindi ko lang matandaan yung title nung kinukwento nya nakalimutan ko na hahaha basta merong ulap na tumaas :))))

 at ang costume ...dyaran! babalik ako kasi i didn't read all! si Bibingclara want to see the casserole nagmamadali. Bibingclara at the back with her tata jen gustong makipaglaro.

 voila ang kaserola! sorry no flash ;(

 at ang bungo sa banga woooooo
So quick the visit, i have to revisit again ang read the details. Not so easy to be with a little kid na nagmamadali at gustong lumabas. I understand, she gets bored :)

log book at the end of the visit ( she writes her name on the signing book hehehe )The comments : Magnifique exposition! and some writes Mabuhay Philippines!

i let Bibingclara do the work for dropping the filled forms ( a questionaire form to win free ticket to Phils youhoo ) normally, we should do it after the visit but since we were all excited before heading the start of the expo we already filled and dropped the form hehehe :)

in the exit, there's a little souvenir corner i just took some photos

can't resist! so i buy a bulul magnet and cards

and a book for Bibingclara as a gift that day
After the exposition, we stayed to watch the musique and dance of Maguindanao will post it in part 2 :)

Postcard sent

Postcard sent as my title on this post. Yes, the last postcard we sent was when we were in Uk, last april. Actually, i've been planning before to spend christmas with my family in the Philippines but because of the expensive airfare during this season, we decided to adjust our homecoming for next year's school break.

postcards from friends in Philippines
We would love to send postcard too from Brazil ( Claudebiko's sister resides there ) but need to save, save and save for billet d'avion :)

photo taken from the room of her kuya in London ( married with brazilian ) note : Bibingclara's t-shirt from her tita in Brazil
Mission Accomplished! just got remember my Mission .When we were in London, I scouted these magnific hand and nail creme in all the pharmacy. Luckily i found them in Westbury chemist :)

got shampoo and cream for me too ... i gave some hand and nail cream for friends
Last minute shopping when i found them, they were in the bargain shelf. I was surprised because they were not too expensive 1£ for the hand and nail cream. If i could still have space in my bagage i would rather get more to bring for friends. In fact, i am using it now soft on hands and nice smell too :)
