PREPARING

(Photo was taken last summer)

I started preparing my luggage now for my trip to Philippines. I bought some "the cars" stuff tonight for my nephew's coming birthday party. My theme plan was Spider but I had a hard time finding spider's stuff. I found some but it was too expensive while "the cars", I was able to buy it at dollar store.

I'm getting too excited now. Two more weeks and I will see my family again after 4 years. I'm looking forward to hug and kiss them and tell them how much I love them. I just hope that everything will go fine in this trip.

COUNTING THE DAYS

Yes! 23 days more to go and I'm flying back to my homeland and spend time with my family. It's been 4 years since the last time I saw them in person. I miss them so much.

I have lots of plan in my mind that I don't know where and what to start :-) but as far as I know , my sister already made an appointment to bank the day right after my arrival. Oh boy..I don't think I can have a good rest in my first week there..anyway, whatever happen, I'm still very excited :-)

FRIEND'S CHALET

My friend invited us to their new build chalet last weekend. We drove 1 and a half hour to reach the place. Going there is a little bit complicated because the place is still new and the GPS can't find it. They gave us the instruction on how to reach the place but still we got lost and the worst is, my phone don't have signal in the area. Good thing that my friend's phone that was with us was working and we were able to call my friend and finally, we found the right road.

 (the foods)

As usual, she prepared lots of yummy foods that I think, it's good for 20 person :-) and we were only 8. 

I felt so bad for myself because I did cheat for my diet for 2 days ( I always have 1 day cheating day for a week) and blame it to her :-)

 (crispy pata)

The crispy pata was really crispy and yummy. This broke my diet. I ate a lot of this crispy pata dipped with sukang pinakurat (fermented vinegar from Philippines) Oh boy, that was really good.

(desserts)

And finally, the dessert. This is the only thing that I'm proud of myself. I didn't eat the dessert because I was so guilty that I did cheat twice. Temptation was very close but I was able to stop.
