Dinner with the Best of Friends

ProHoGa, is a wholesale store located at Niederschofheim, Germany where you can buy foods, fruits, asian foods etc. at a lower price. We bought tiger prawns which is a Philippine product and we were surprised with the inceased in price. Upon reaching home, Joy cooked the big shrimps with coconut milk, pumpkin and string beans. She started eating when suddenly thought of continuing her dinner with us, so they carried the cooked foods and her unfinished plate with rice to us and we really had a wonderfull dinner together.

Double Purpose

Upon returning home yesterday, i was surprised to see Dirk removing the skin of asparagus using his bulging stomach as table while watching the television. He also sometimes placed his small loptop in that position as well, dual purpose right???

The Agony of Waiting

We've been travelling for the past seven years and there's always the scenario of lining up and waiting. You need to line up to check-in the luggages, baggage control, immigration and wait to claim the luggage. So there's a lot of waiting involve especially if its a long distance travel.

For me, waiting is not a problem coz i have a pile of magazines and books to read. Browsing the shops in the airport is also one way to while away the time.

Inside the plane dirk was fascinated by the model house feature in Yes magazine

Oh!!! these are our luggages waiting to be loaded inside the car, and who's going to do it? the jet-setters already tired of waiting?? let's wait and see...

Elena's Birthday


Elena's birthday celebration started on the eve of her birthday, then, with breakfast and white wine toasting with friends. It was followed by a typical Filipino lunch with fried fish, shrimps, pansit and ginisang munggo. I'm supposed to be on a diet but i cannot control myself.

Its an all-day celebration coz some of our friends are coming in the evening for dinner. Hold your breath, its just a pre-birthday party, the big bash will be at the end of this month with roasted pig in the menu (not roasted crocodile).

Interesting things

Today, the temperature reached 31 degrees and its very hot. I would say that i don't like this kind of weather its because i have sun allergy which causes skin irritation and headache. It was also sunny in Spain last week and i just choose to stay inside the hotel. While dirk and mutti were playing golf, there are some interesting things that caught my attention, look at the pictures below.
