MEETING WITH MY ULTIMATE IDOL

We spent 3 days and 2 nights at Chateau Albert in Caraquet, New Brunswick. It was so nice to experience the life of the Acadien in New Brunswick during the 18th century. We stayed in the old style hotel where there's no aircondition and no elevator as well. We had supper at the hotel which is included in the package and a show.

We been to Caraquet Restaurant the next day for supper. They have all kind of seafoods. The hotel receptionist told us that that's the best restaurant for seafoods in town. We were waiting our order when Jean François Breau -my favorite singer, pass our table. I told my hubby that my idol pass hehehe he knew it already so no jealousy happen. He ask my fon and told me to go so he can picture me with my idol. I was so happy that night....so kilig like a teenager.

Photo below are the 3 artists that will be having concert that night..the first guy next to me is my idol..

I'M BACK :-)

Yes, I'm back now from my 1 month vacation in my hometown Philippines. I left Canada April 19, 2013 and left Philippines May 19, 2013. It was exactly 1 month and hoping to extend my vacation but my job didn't permit me. One month is not enough for me. I need more to catch up with my family on the 4 years that I didn't see them in person.

My stay with my family was really fun. I met all of them with their kids. We spend most of our time especially with the kids. I was so happy to see all of them.

It was not all happiness that I feel during my vacation. I had a feeling of disappointment too with my house that I started to pay. I cancelled my transaction of that house because of bad service. I expected too much of that house but it end up nothing. Yes, there was a disappointment but I didn't have a regret of canceling it. Maybe it was not meant for me and I will proceed to my first plan. I will construct my dream house in my own land soon. Now that I'm back here, I will try to save my money as much as I can for my house.

More update in my next post. I still need to do washing. Have a blessed Sunday to all!

US TOUR (MY DREAM)

To see Canada was one of my greatest dream when I was little but  I'm not dreaming it anymore because I live here now. Before I arrived here, hubby asked me what are my dreams and I told him that I wanted to see Disneyland and have a picture with all the my favorite cartoon character. We been to California after 3 months of staying here in Canada. We been to Disneyland and Sea World. It was my first grand vacation. Two years after, we been to San Francisco to visit my cousin and we took that opportunity to explore the other side of California and we been to Nevada as well.

There are still some places of California that I wanted to visit but it's not the priority for now. I want to explore some other state in US. One of them is New York. I been already to some cities in New York State that is close to Quebec but I never been to New York City. I wanted to visit this city and I already talked to my husband about it. He started looking for a cheap ticket and he found some affordable
new york tickets online. I'm so excited and looking forward to this trip. Another dream come true to me :-)

We started to makes some plan to Chicago and Nevada for our next trip. He already checked the
chicago tickets and las vegas tickets online.  There's always  big discount if you buy tickets ahead of time.

I was planning to visit my family in Philippines next month and spend the holy week with them but everything change when I bought a property in our place. I just bought it last month and it's two years to pay. I was so excited with my project so I decided to work full-time this year and save all my money so that I can pay it in 1 year instead of two years. Hubby agreed with my decision and he support me all the way.

So we decided to have our grand vacation next year in Hongkong to celebrate our 10th year wedding anniversary. We got married in Hongkong and hubby wanted to renew our vow in the same place and stay in the same hotel and the same room where we stayed before. His family will go and celebrate with us there so we decided to have my family there too. But since the hotel is so expensive and we can't afford to pay 8 rooms, we're looking for another option. We will be staying there for two weeks so we decided to rent an apartment. We already tried that before and we really satisfied. We found a very affordable and great deal at vacation home rentals. They have great, furnish room in a very affordable price. So perfect for a family vacation.

vacation rental homes has world wide listing. So if you plan to have a long vacation, why spend more money in a five star hotel if you can stay in a comfortable, fully furnish homes in a very affordable price. So what are you waiting for? Book now at vacation home rental and have a great vacation.

EUROPE VACATION

We will be celebrating our 10^th year wedding anniversary two year from now. We were planning to spend that special day in Hong Kong where we first met and got married. We will stay in the same hotel and in the same room. Sound cool, isn’t it? We wanted to go back on the first day we met until we got married. Visit to the places where we been before and of course spend time visiting places that we never been. I’m so looking forward to this day but hubby’s family can’t spend time with us. They wanted to but they found it too far which is really true. Maybe some of my family can celebrate with us since it’s only 2 hours by plane from where we live to Hong Kong.

We really wanted to have hubby’s family with us so we plan to have a trip in France. I guess it’s a good idea since it’s my childhood dream to visit Paris. The whole family is going and so with my in-laws. We’ve checked the hotel and it cost us a fortune if we will stay in there. My sister-in-law suggested staying in a fully furnished apartment where we can have room for everyone. We’ve checked the vacation rentals paris and we found a very affordable price in a very spacious apartment. Everything is perfect for all of us.

If you plan to stay for a week or two in France, try to check the vacation rentals paris for a place to stay. You can save some money and enjoy the vacation to the max.

Yes, I'm here in Hongkong airport. I just arrive a while ago. I arrived in gate 64 and my next flight is in gate 1. Oh my, I walk 1 kilometers or maybe more. Good that I have 3 hours my next flight. I almost run because I want to be in gate 1 so that I can open my computer. And here I am! I just want to let you know that I'm going back to Canada and be with my husband. I miss him a lot but leaving my family in Philippines is really hard too. I started missing them already especially the little kids. For now, I don't have any plan yet of visiting them.

Well, that all for now. I will post lots of photos as soon as I will arrive in Quebec.

BLOGGING FROM PHILIPPINES

Hi guys! I'm really really sorry for not updating all my blogs. I'm here in Philippines now with my family. Actually, I arreived here June 19 and we flew to CDO the next day. Not updating my blogs is not the fault of the internet connect. It's my fault. I'm too busy visiting my friends and relatives, party here and party there and I didn't give time to update my blogs. I feel very guilty now so I decided to do it at least twice a week.

Anyway, my stay here is very memorable. We had our Mega EB with my bolanon.com family last June 27 and it was really great. I'm so happy that I finally meet them in person. Two days after the mega eb, one of the member invited us to have dinner in her house after their town fiesta. I ate a lot and I'm not ashame to tell you that I'm gaining a lot lot lot. I really missed Pilipino foods and I can't stop myself eating them all. We will have another gathering tonight, that means, more Pilipino foods again and I ordered sea foods.

We took a lot of photos and I will post it here sometime or maybe when I will come back in Canada. I still have 42 days of stay here and I will make sure that this 42 days will be more memorable for me.

This is all for now guys and have a nice day to all!

WEEKEND IN BAIE COMEAU

I'm so excited now to spend the weekend in Baie Comeau. This is the place that I always ask hubby to visit. It's quite far from where we live so we need to stay one night in a hotel. Hotel is already reserved and the ferry going to Matane. From home to Baie Comeau will take 5 hrs drive plus 20 minutes ferry to cross the river. But we have to stop some places for picture so I guess it will take us 6 or 7 hours drive instead of 5 hours. We will sleep in Baie Comeau then we have to drive to Godbout for the ferry that will take us to Matane. This ferry will take 2 hours to cross the St-Laurent river to Matane. Then from Matane to our place will take 5 hours drive. But as I said, we have to stop many place for picture and I guess we will arrive home almost midnight. We don't mind what time we will arrive home he he he. We love to travel so there will be no problem.

I'm pretty sure that I will take lots of picture. Good that I have 3 spare of battery for my camera. In this way, I don't need to charge which is very hard because I don't have adoptor for the car. Hubby bought me 2 more battery so taht I can use them in Philippines and I have 2 8gigs memory card he he he. Everything will be okey:-)

I will post for sure some photo next week.

By the way, Caroland's Breathtaking Adventure is already finish. I've change the layout and I migrated it to my other account. Friends, can you change the link of my Caroland's Breathtaking Adventure? I really appreciate if you can do it for me...thanks. Pls feel free to visit that blog.

VACATION GETAWAYS

I had a serious conversation with my hubby last night. I don’t know what happen to me. When we talked about my vacation in Philippines before, it was very clear and already final that I will go alone and I agree already. But lately, I feel that I don’t want to spend my summer alone in Philippines. I want to have my hubby with me. I talked to him last night and he’s decision is final. He doesn’t want to go! I was crying and begging him to go with me but the answer is still no. But then, he told me something that makes my eyes so big. He said that we will have a wildwood vacations in New Jersey. Of course, I was very happy and I’m not asking him again to go with me in Philippines. We plan right away the trip. We want to be there in August because we want to see the Radio Disney Concert Series that will be in Wildwood, New Jersey at Morey’s Piers starting the end of June until the end of August. I will arrive from Philippines August 8 and we will fly to New Jersey the week after. The concert is free and many of the top radio Disney artists will be there. So we want to take this opportunity since this is one of my childhood dreams. I’m so excited to see them in the concert. I’m also excited to go to Morey’s Piers and Beachfront Waterparks. One place that interests me most is the New Jersey Water Parks. Oh my! I’m pretty sure that there will be lots of fun there. I can imagine myself playing in the water park like a kid and enjoying the rides at New Jersey amusement parks.

Next year will be Jersey shore beach vacation. It’s already planned for next year.

SPRING SEASON SOON

Spring season is now fast approaching. I’m so exciting now for this season and I’m looking forward to see our backyard without snow :-). And besides from that, I’m so excited to travel in different places as what we always do. We already have plans to where we go this spring. We want to enjoy ourselves together this spring because I will be spending my summer in Philippines with my family. Hubby will stay here because he has something to do this summer and I will travel alone. It’s so sad to travel alone but what can I do? Hubby and I have a conflict in our schedule this summer. I don’t want to cancel my trip to Philippines because I miss my family so much. I want to spend time with them this summer.

For the meantime, I have to check the best price for a spring break vacations trip for hubby’s niece. We want to give her a gift for her birthday and we decided to pay her trip for her spring break vacation.

BLOGGING FROM ALBERTA

Two week I didn’t update my blog. I’m so sorry about these guys. As I said in my previous entry, I’m here in Edmonton Alberta. I’m still here until next week Sept 04, 2008. To tell you honestly, I have a great time here though hubby is not around always due to his work but still I have lots of fun staying here in Edmonton. Hubby is working 10 days straight, 10 hours per day and 4 days off. In the 10 days straight, I’m always alone in the hotel but it happen that an online friend lives close to the hotel where we’re staying. She works in afternoon ‘til night so we still have time to see each other in the morning. She’s fun to be with. We both love camera so, everywhere we go, camera is always in our hand bag and take a pose every corner of the place hehehhehe. Well, I guess it’s a signature of a Filipina.

In the first day of our meeting, she and her family picked me up here in the hotel and we drive straight to WEST EDMONTON MALL which is known to be the biggest mall in the world. We don’t have much time in the mall because she still has work in the afternoon. We just took some pictures and took our lunch in one of the Chinese restaurant.

The next day, she visited me again here in the hotel and we just stayed here and talked and talked and talked.

To make the story short, we’ve seen each other almost everyday and talked in the telephone everyday. We went back to West Edmonton Mall and spend time in the water park and we did a lot of outing. More details in my next post hehehehe.

Finally, in the 4 days off of my hubby, we went to Canadian Rocky Mountain. Wow!!!!!!! It was very nice trip. The scenic is fantastic. We spent 4 days driving in the Rockies. I will post all the photos of our trip in my other blog. So watch for it.

I think I have to stop here. I feel a little hungry and I need to eat. Bye for now and HAVE A NICE DAY TO ALL

VISIT TO UNITED KINGDOM

Me and Hubby love to travel and visit some famous places. This year because we still have the motorhome, we travel in Canada and in United States last year. We already spent enough time in our motorhome so we decided to put it on sale and do another thing than in camping. The plan for next year, either we sell the motorhome or not, we already plan to visit Europe. United Kingdom is in the first in our list. We’ve heard so many great things about United Kingdom. The traditional/historical Castle and Cathedral of Edinburgh is the one that we really love to visit.

This most famous Scottish Castle interests us most. It has a complex building history. The oldest part, St Margaret's Chapel, dates from the 12th century; the Great Hall was erected by James IV around 1510; the Half Moon Battery by the Regent Morton in the late 16th century; and the Scottish National War Memorial after the First World War.

The castle houses the Honours (Crown Jewels) of Scotland, the Stone of Destiny, the famous 15th century gun Mons Meg, the One O' Clock Gun and the National War Museum of Scotland.

About the hotel, you don’t need to worry. Edinburgh hotel is there. You can check it out at CheaperthanHotels.co.uk. The rate is very affordable and with free extras. You can make your reservation online at CheaperthanHotels.co.uk. It’s that easy!

And don’t miss the historic and futuristic museums, classic art galleries and famous theatres of Manchester. It has a lot to offer those seeking a taste of Great British culture.

As I said, you don't need to worry on where to stay. CheaperthanHotels are there to help you. Just check their friendly website and everything will be okey in your trip.

So, what are you waiting for? Plan your trip now and see the beauty of United Kingdom.
