Our Home, Our Neighborhood : Scotland

Okay, here are our photos taken few days after our arrival, during our walk to my son's school. This is the place where we live now. It is actually very peaceful and we are here for over two weeks already and i don't know anyone from this neighborhood! hehehehehe! I am so sure people here are always busy working around. In a country like this, people just value privacy. I am pretty sure people are friendly but they just have their own life, as much as we have our own. Anyway, my boys are my constant buddies here. Take a look...

This is our house. It is two-storey and it has three bedrooms(one master's bedroom and two other not-so-big-ones,yet, comfortable enough. One family room, one living room, one kitchen , one dainty dining room which i really love, a narrow hallway, a laundry room which i really adore, 3 toilets and baths and spacious backyard that my kids could play during summmer. Ah, i almost forget, our computer room. hahaha! Oh well, you can't see the photos of what's inside our house yet. hehehehe. First, the structure itself...


And here's our quiet, peaceful neighborhood.... As i said, i hadn't known anyone yet for almost three weeks that i am here!


My two wonderful boys and our community....

And this is me photographed by Prisco. Ah, it's amazing what kids can do this time. Hehehehe.....


They say, "HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS" and i am feeling inlove with my home here in Scotland. My heart is really with my family. House is just a structure really and home? It is sweeter word for a house!

Aberdeen At Last!

Definitely, we are now in the Bonnie Scotland. The flight had been long, tiring, and exhausting. But the best thing is : we are now together as one, happy family. How i wish there'll be flight from Davao to Scotland (just a wish!!!)...In that way, we can avoid the busy Ninoy Aquino International Airport. But of course, there was not, so we have no choice. We flew with KLM Flying Dutchman from Manila to Amsterdam- Amsterdam to Aberdeen. There are lots of flights from Manila to Heathrow-Heathrow to Aberdeen, but we really don't like the Heathrow airport and we want to avoid that hell airport as much as possible. Amsterdam's Schipol Airport is a better one, definitely, very far better than Heathrow. So, that's it. We left Davao on the 10th, stayed a night in Manila. Flew from Manila to Amsterdam on the 11th and that flight was approximately 13 hours. But with all the early check-in, all the security checks,all the airport time....The trip was like 24 to 36 hours to me,including the hours in Manila. Flight from Amsterdam to Aberdeen is only 1.5 hours. But going through Immigration, waiting for the luggages, plus Customs check-up,we were through around 10 pm,Scotland time. Plus the travelling time from the Aberdeen Airport to our home in Kintore, around 45 minutes. So,we arrived home around almost 11pm. With the 8 hour time difference from the Philippines, what is night is day and what is day is night. It really messed up our body clocks!!!!Up to now,my system is still messed up.lol. But i will be fine after some time. Give me a week and i will be settled here. Right now, am still not done unpacking our stuffs yet.
Oh, well, my friends, i've guess this is one of the travails of travelling---we need to acclimatize and settle slowly, slowly to the environment that we are in. For the meantime, i got to attend to the messages and visits made here at my blogging home!
