10th YEAR IN QUEBEC, CANADA

As I said in my previous post, yesterday night was my 10th year here in Canada. I arrived in Vancouver, Canada on the 25th of January 2004. My husband was there waiting for me and then we took the plane going to Montreal and we arrived in Montreal, Quebec on the 26th of January 2004. So today is my 10th year here in Quebec where I started to have my own family...my new home.

It was 10 years ago when I first step in this wonderland Quebec...10 years ago when I first touch the snow...10 years ago when I first stepped in our little home...10 years now and counting.

HAPPY FIESTA -VIRGIN DE LA PAZ Y BUEN VIAJE

Today is the fiesta of Virgen De La Paz Y Buen Viaje Parish in our place Cuasi, Loon, Bohol. I heard that they don't have a nightly program as what they used to do every year. The parishioners are still busy fixing themselves after the 7.2 magnitude earthquakes that hit the place last Oct. 15 last year. But despite of their bad situation, they are still able to celebrate the fiesta of the patron of our church, the Virgen De La Paz Y Buen Viaje and a thanksgiving at the same time that they survived all the calamities that happen to our place. 

As my part here to celebrate with them, I donated an amount that pay for the officiating priest in our church and another amount to the chapel in the neighboring barangay that have the same patron of our church. I'm giving donation every year to our church to share my blessing that I have now. 

HAPPY FIESTA VIRGIN DE LA PAZ Y BUEN VIAJE!!!

VIVA PIT SENIOR

We celebrated the Sinulog today in Montreal. The celebration was started with a Holy Mass and followed by a short procession of the Sto Nino around the church and down to the basement. Then a prayer and the blessing of all the Sto Ninos that were not yet bless and followed by the traditional Sinulog dance and of course all pilipino foods were present. There were lots of people attending the celebration.  I didnt expect that it was that much that some were fighting for a chair. Good thing I didnt brought my big camera or else I will stuck with it. It was a great celebration though and I was so happy that I was able to be there.

VIVA PIT SENIOR !

Im here in the venue of the supper while writing this blog. Pls pray for us in our trip going back to Quebec.

MY BASEMENT TURNS TO DISCO BAR

One of my favorite place in our house is the basement. On the very first day I step in this house, I don't know why, I already fall in love in the place. It was just a simple basement with lots of storage room and carpeted floor. I installed my little office there (though we have one upstair) where I can study when I was still taking my french course. Then I started to change the arrangement and install my home theater. I started to invite friends and did karaoke. Hubby found it interesting that made him decide to renovate the basement. It took us almost a year to finish renovating. Hubby did the work by himself. He took out the storage room and converted to a bar, took out the carpet and change the wall. I really love my new basement that I call it "my hiding place". We already had few parties here but the most enjoyable party we had was last saturday during hubby's birthday. We're only 9 person but we really had fun. Too much is crowded...that what happened on my last birthday. We had 27 visitors plus me and hubby. We were able to accommodate all of them. It was a nice party but with not too much guest is better. We had karaoke and everybody was able to sing without a long waiting. 

But the best part of the night was the lighting:-) My hiding place turned to a disco bar for the night :-) As you can see in the ceiling, it's a sound synchronize colorful light. I really like it and I'm looking forward to the next party.

ANOTHER SONG CHIPS

Yes I bought another song chips for my magic sing. It's already my 5th chips plus the built-in songs. I have 2 english chips and 2 tagalog chips. Everytime we will have karaoke at home, hubby just sat there and listen to us singing because he don't know much of the english songs.

This coming March 17, we will celebrate my birthday and our 9th year wedding anniversary at the same time. We invited my friends and his relatives too. We will be 30 all in all, Filipina and Quebecois. So we decided to buy another song chips, a french one so that all of us can join the karaoke. I'm so excited for this event. I hope everything will goes well :-)
