Last August 8, we hosted a 5 in one simple party in our Bedford home. This i dubbed as the First Party as i am very sure there will be lots of parties i will be hosting on this lovely home.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpqgaQzfRDlBdNC65R6-EOoxq8HdRpRj-SmfF-8Cg6jWHA-Jfji3lvknK-1UWpQlPXB9ZfXdA7JQ4PmRNrhjzIAg7FBEaDi45g-3K5_sfee6ETJlo60E_8o-lCGwqo60HS2jHJ0LqhUZU/s1600/DSC04078.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpqgaQzfRDlBdNC65R6-EOoxq8HdRpRj-SmfF-8Cg6jWHA-Jfji3lvknK-1UWpQlPXB9ZfXdA7JQ4PmRNrhjzIAg7FBEaDi45g-3K5_sfee6ETJlo60E_8o-lCGwqo60HS2jHJ0LqhUZU/s320/DSC04078.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505208808564536578" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0E-svm3-GOgGeNL2akkrTD5vIztAqyYKkudRAAYMsLVHk15XlYKV5ZEZ-MMbVa6cXTxOKJtNUzIzaLC1UrF8nhAAxdgYOOvEHK5nq0dawVSQNrNqBcn3RT6S8y2cRXoUjF8mDMRY6yn4/s1600/DSC04079.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0E-svm3-GOgGeNL2akkrTD5vIztAqyYKkudRAAYMsLVHk15XlYKV5ZEZ-MMbVa6cXTxOKJtNUzIzaLC1UrF8nhAAxdgYOOvEHK5nq0dawVSQNrNqBcn3RT6S8y2cRXoUjF8mDMRY6yn4/s320/DSC04079.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505209142394424658" /></a><br /><br />We had been thinking to baptize Baby Ali in the Philippines but the schedule was so tight by then with all the paperworks and other stuffs and we figured it out why not?Since Coco was baptized in Scotland and Cam in the Philippines why not Baby Ali be baptized in Canada? So, we did it, baptizing Baby Ali in the Bedford's St. Ignatius Catholic Church. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhucHykqt1zNUVW1TpYxOHdm3ttURuhQnJyTcmOoi7kGu2_j6eS-QRU93nVrQ164YW0Y2-BGRJ7YPqrYV9KzTwn_zmM_fSaW_A5_HOUMslgJu3u_Rt-lUTwX39krtOs3AZ8PYcqkmSkIXg/s1600/DSC04069.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhucHykqt1zNUVW1TpYxOHdm3ttURuhQnJyTcmOoi7kGu2_j6eS-QRU93nVrQ164YW0Y2-BGRJ7YPqrYV9KzTwn_zmM_fSaW_A5_HOUMslgJu3u_Rt-lUTwX39krtOs3AZ8PYcqkmSkIXg/s320/DSC04069.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505210583786140162" /></a><br /><br />The Christening was officiated by Father Pat Cosgrove and attended by Godparents and our supportive family and friends. The community welcomed Baby Ali and together with his Baptism, we also renewed ours. His godparents are: Mr. and Mrs. Al Brown, Mr. and Mrs.Nathan Scott, Amanda Hillier, Naty Agdeppa, Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Craig, Mr. and Mrs. Emmanuel Donasco and Mr. Salvador Senarillos. May Baby Ali grow up to be a good boy, full of love and full of wisdom.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjImiTYs51OIUE1EZ7lZM31ng5EDiJkFAq5n1RhXKg5wRi2JGXNBEdYaGG0wKEtrqdGiVpwI6_5TbTV0fFreMh3ohUqeqEH8ws4anAKuxxuCX1FEmb-nIZkb9oGjQHz-iw2lKLwl0Ba1aI/s1600/DSC04104.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjImiTYs51OIUE1EZ7lZM31ng5EDiJkFAq5n1RhXKg5wRi2JGXNBEdYaGG0wKEtrqdGiVpwI6_5TbTV0fFreMh3ohUqeqEH8ws4anAKuxxuCX1FEmb-nIZkb9oGjQHz-iw2lKLwl0Ba1aI/s320/DSC04104.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505214200099956098" /></a><br /><br />Now, another reason for celebrating is the blessing of our new home. In Canada, they call this a Housewarming. In my country, when we transfer to a new home, we invited a Priest and let him bless a new place and offer a prayer. We call this House Blessing. I did both --- we had housewarming and house blessing! I would like to thank Father Pat for coming to our place after the baptism and blessed the Father (and mother) of the house, blessed our home and our new van. I feel so blessed after that!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicZ_Tp6cpS-cfZHRMFgcFD3K192ejPiKgnW0F4dCHukda09THIi0dNjecEejuM3pTEGnXRksutmHWXr_J31vXxhfVekm6nU8yHiTqPr688X-n4J1vLUrgFUuWsL6zIbxuvm1z9QtOz0Hg/s1600/DSC04131.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicZ_Tp6cpS-cfZHRMFgcFD3K192ejPiKgnW0F4dCHukda09THIi0dNjecEejuM3pTEGnXRksutmHWXr_J31vXxhfVekm6nU8yHiTqPr688X-n4J1vLUrgFUuWsL6zIbxuvm1z9QtOz0Hg/s320/DSC04131.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505216113720026514" /></a><br /><br />Now, another reason to celebrate is the birthday of my husband, Scotty and our middle child, Cam. Cam's birthday was actually July 28 but since we don't know anyone as playmates for Cam for now (we are only here for over 2 months), it is not practical to have a kids' party for him. So, we decided just celebrate his birthday on the same date as Baby Ali's christening. He did enjoy that day --- opening lots of presents and eating his birthday cake before the dessert time!!! For Scotty's birthday, it was August 10, but since it was very close to August 8 and since he don't want to do anything on his day, we celebrated his day on the 8th.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi47zJgwQImQVE3inwvsc9zEv4SNDnIcUhnuPHRu7_YPIDCx5Ig9naOtqTgTubIjjkSEff3OkRwQ4YCkMB1JCqfruIpZYFqj_3w7vLHBbCskmppLPbShfw8XNoHWM6U-9vEgOOiCxh4yR0/s1600/DSC04094.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi47zJgwQImQVE3inwvsc9zEv4SNDnIcUhnuPHRu7_YPIDCx5Ig9naOtqTgTubIjjkSEff3OkRwQ4YCkMB1JCqfruIpZYFqj_3w7vLHBbCskmppLPbShfw8XNoHWM6U-9vEgOOiCxh4yR0/s320/DSC04094.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505220274055907474" /></a><br /><br />The last but not the least reason to celebrate is that: August 8 is always a special date for us. It is a date we had been engaged last 2002 in General Santos City, Philippines and wow it was 8 years ago!!! Two years ago, we had a second wedding in Canada dubbed as the 8-8-8 wedding. So, August 8 is a very special date and it is just worth celebrating!!!!<br /><br />Before i end this post, i just would like to say thank you to all the people who made the party a success --- our chef extraordinaire, Winston; my sister Phoebe; my friends Coney, Ate Lourdes and Kuya Chris. Thanks to the Godparents, the Officiating priest, Father Pat Cosgrove and to my ever-supportive family and friends. Most importantly, thank you, Lord for letting me experienced a wonderful family life. There are just so many things to celebrate and You let me experienced it all!!!Prilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09819820357962843738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565191399796984580.post-18452863989700961532010-08-03T13:40:00.000-07:002010-08-03T14:45:58.119-07:00Seeing Pat and JohnIt was 2002 when i first met Pat and John, a lovely couple who are like family to us. Pat is the cousin of Scotty's dad, Terry. Because of that connection, i always call them Uncle John and Aunt Pat.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAd5cyQHq7xjkCld-iRI7J0tn3vKBaZkF65GGYHeNapEybeDRFifL5bo8ObqZ9GqVScj3sUR06yEVBECSjbMqvRgeAqtr8w_rGsaY62dbCjllkz71cm36kchVEFMFmYKnXQ0znkwFZhTc/s1600/DSC03923.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAd5cyQHq7xjkCld-iRI7J0tn3vKBaZkF65GGYHeNapEybeDRFifL5bo8ObqZ9GqVScj3sUR06yEVBECSjbMqvRgeAqtr8w_rGsaY62dbCjllkz71cm36kchVEFMFmYKnXQ0znkwFZhTc/s400/DSC03923.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501288392602704114" /></a><br /><br />Scotty had known Pat and John for ages. Scotty told me that they always come to the lake cottage and spend time with them on the summer. Now, as things changed, circumstances changed, not only Scott will see them whenever they are here in Nova Scotia, but also us...<br /><br />2002, i first met them at Windsor, Ontario where they live. I was then pregnant with Prisco. We went back again to Windsor, Ontario (2004) when Coco was over a year old and saw them. And then two years ago(2008), with new baby in tow(Cameron), they were on the lake property in Annapolis valley and we visited them again.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh14oBV_VAXoLTrPfbIIj-5NliUJZwHHx8Nkzqfb5AVL6KM39jHQvDAKcti4tLP0Tnzu16EpIHH9bsD9wkouH98BQ1D9bN_6_JXMp8vX112OiIsFuEBuHnHqne2HoL-nuTGO889kNfuAzA/s1600/DSC03919.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh14oBV_VAXoLTrPfbIIj-5NliUJZwHHx8Nkzqfb5AVL6KM39jHQvDAKcti4tLP0Tnzu16EpIHH9bsD9wkouH98BQ1D9bN_6_JXMp8vX112OiIsFuEBuHnHqne2HoL-nuTGO889kNfuAzA/s400/DSC03919.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501290493615318594" /></a><br /><br /><br />Just recently, specifically, yesterday, before they will go to Prince Edward Island with Sharon,Meghan and Katelyn, we spent time with them and they were delighted to see the newest addition to the family, Baby Ali. It was good to see Peggy as well, Aunt Pat's sister. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifcK0-pVSzDtD3-5RzjJdWRFiCxCy_t5ERv-MH11iBt-OYtduah49PKZVMuv4-m7r1A69GtdnuyHhb_IZN5C47DG6M0HY1xcFbTBysbbjPpeyRclUczHUG2GdpoLwAGLC2Rp4bKi8xvcc/s1600/DSC03917.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifcK0-pVSzDtD3-5RzjJdWRFiCxCy_t5ERv-MH11iBt-OYtduah49PKZVMuv4-m7r1A69GtdnuyHhb_IZN5C47DG6M0HY1xcFbTBysbbjPpeyRclUczHUG2GdpoLwAGLC2Rp4bKi8xvcc/s400/DSC03917.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501302690072143554" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwJMwr2ByZT9f3OI8GkmHNvBlgPehm7joHzbGhyN_H3pOsTHtrOf0PhEUCl-L2M1sYXuIueYwDVixMa2VSOHhB6x9g2L5iOpVfDfpHlWfNF_HoPixYOjS_3eottJ28hNgkJbAH3UXkJcg/s1600/DSC03928.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwJMwr2ByZT9f3OI8GkmHNvBlgPehm7joHzbGhyN_H3pOsTHtrOf0PhEUCl-L2M1sYXuIueYwDVixMa2VSOHhB6x9g2L5iOpVfDfpHlWfNF_HoPixYOjS_3eottJ28hNgkJbAH3UXkJcg/s400/DSC03928.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501303036454315778" /></a><br /><br /><br />This is the Aylesford lake in Annapolis Valley that we went yesterday where Pat and John and family were relaxing or reflecting or entertaining family and friends. I fully agree that this place is heavenly. Some lucky people could buy property near this lake, developed this property by making lake chalets or lake cottages. In this spot, there are woodlands that make you feel you are in the other part of the world as it is very quiet and very private. Aunt Pat's dad, the late Dr. Albert MacPhee, bought a property here, developed it and his offsprings had enjoyed it in many years. We enjoyed our stay here as well, no matter how short it maybe! It is always nice to meet genuine people...<br /><br />I want to thank Pat and John for always a very welcoming couple in this world. They are people whom i feel the positivity in life despite the sorrowful things that are uncontrollable. They are people whom i admired and respected. They are people whom you always want to see even if you're tired, or busy, or hungry! God bless you, Uncle John and Aunt Pat. God bless your family!Prilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09819820357962843738noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565191399796984580.post-20227758853069288542010-07-30T13:46:00.000-07:002010-07-30T15:16:07.198-07:00Discovering Discovery CenterOn Cameron's 3rd birthday,we did not do any fancy party. He still did not have many friends that we can invite, so we'll have to wait until next year for that children's party. Also, i don't feel having a party and Scotty is not here. But Scotty is coming and he and Cam can have their birthdays together! <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgNEyfchcXx5ooL7mlNx9ZIVDT1xhyphenhypheng0037GYKRv8wIymNU_VlqHZzWLIFLvCwRR_I6v1NHnihyphenhyphenwt5wjPDXzFcDSqleaDlYc1LnzeGD4lfCqjTvpmZu2hVQmi_dlTSs0I0ZkT3hsEgchs/s1600/cam3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgNEyfchcXx5ooL7mlNx9ZIVDT1xhyphenhypheng0037GYKRv8wIymNU_VlqHZzWLIFLvCwRR_I6v1NHnihyphenhyphenwt5wjPDXzFcDSqleaDlYc1LnzeGD4lfCqjTvpmZu2hVQmi_dlTSs0I0ZkT3hsEgchs/s400/cam3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499805250708069458" /></a><br /><br /><br />Here is Cam turning three last July 28. On that day we did the following unforgettable things: kids rode on the bus for the first time, we ate at the Filipino restaurant, we walked in some parts of downtown Halifax, and the most special thing of all --- we learnt many things in the Science Discovery Center at Barrington Street. Yup, we explored science and technology through exciting and interactive experience.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE5DBDNGJpVLQZ6k9TSisb6nbA6Iw6rni6HbgWA4gWLWSvhu3SXbs_vS9YW-ds2b9oGar2xP8XM36sOexfRVG9XEzAuIwGSezBtXQY_CihVG0sgW93xLnhPh59OpFRorynI3fcMQFjGCM/s1600/scientist.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE5DBDNGJpVLQZ6k9TSisb6nbA6Iw6rni6HbgWA4gWLWSvhu3SXbs_vS9YW-ds2b9oGar2xP8XM36sOexfRVG9XEzAuIwGSezBtXQY_CihVG0sgW93xLnhPh59OpFRorynI3fcMQFjGCM/s400/scientist.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499807272829197138" /></a><br /><br />I first heard about this Science Discovery Center from my son who loves science, Coco. Their Grade 1 class had an educational tour here before the school ends and many times he'd been urging me to go back there. I keep on telling him that yes, we'll go back. And so, we did and yes, on Cam's birthday!<br /><br />The Discovery Center is a non-profit organization fostering interest in science and technology. Me, Phoebe, Coco, Cam and Baby Ali had a virtual science tour. This place houses three floors of hands-on exhibits where the emphasis is on informal learning through play and fun. <br /><br />They have an exhibit about Diamonds on the first floor, specifically the Canadian diamonds which are highly valued in the world. Now, me and my sister really wish we'll gonna win that grand prize --- a Canadian loose diamond from Charm Diamond Centres valued at 19,000 dollars!!! I can only wish...<br /><br />The second floor consists of many things but the best one is the Bubble Room where you can blow huge bubbles and watch them levitate around you. It was cool! The kids really liked it!

It is an experiment where fire made interesting colors and ice(liquified nitrogen) can affect the size of the balloons or do lots of bubbles with the combination of a dishwashing liquid.<br /><br />All in all, we had an enjoyable time. The kids can run around without getting much attention from other people because kids have freedom to move around as they wish on this place! Thank God! Plus, they really don't know that they are learning lots of stuff! So, yes, it is fun, educational and interactive.<br /><br />I cannot think of any other activity that can top that on that day.Prilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09819820357962843738noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565191399796984580.post-70075910870970819122010-07-28T02:52:00.000-07:002010-07-28T03:56:24.962-07:00Cam becomes 3!!!!When your life is endanger because you are hemmorhaging in your labor,when that baby on that labor died and brought you so much grief,would you remain the same person?

We love it and we love the community. It is a very peaceful neighborhood. We are very close to almost everything--- the schools,the shops, the public library, the church, etc...My husband picked the best choice for us. I am not yet driving, so this place is perfect for me! The house is wonderful. It is not very close to the main street, so we are far from the cacophony of the city. In our backyard is like a mini-forest with lovely,big trees and colorful flowers that abound the area. Just a lovely,perfect family home.<br /><br />Finally, we have a place we call ours --- to raise our kids, to run around, to make a mess, to cultivate, to clean and fix, to make anything a normal,stable family do.

Let's enjoy the summer, everyone!!!<br /><br />For more photos of the dinner, please click:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3325047&l=edc378c205&id=734535184">http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3325047&l=edc378c205&id=734535184</a>Prilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09819820357962843738noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565191399796984580.post-85489961948854932992009-04-28T01:26:00.000-07:002009-04-28T02:31:47.072-07:00Grandad's 80th Birthday!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgISMbkxLchtUNbEiHQf_-OD3ubWhNi5baqE9DA9eNTGaJqmHlAqbEZP7apuL9lRe-AiQ8VT2OIt6BqSvCHByTeaXzV-r2Kp3qEwHGGYpmyiSIiyNKUWZyZPQUaFvzqxAwkmnC6xq_YgOk/s1600-h/DSC02324.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgISMbkxLchtUNbEiHQf_-OD3ubWhNi5baqE9DA9eNTGaJqmHlAqbEZP7apuL9lRe-AiQ8VT2OIt6BqSvCHByTeaXzV-r2Kp3qEwHGGYpmyiSIiyNKUWZyZPQUaFvzqxAwkmnC6xq_YgOk/s400/DSC02324.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329662180057008802" /></a> This is Grandad Larry, 80 years old last April 15, this year. He is the grandfather of my husband Scotty and i considered him as grandad as well. Gramie Joyce, on his birthday party wrote lots of adjectives for him such as : Darling husband, Good neighbour, Sweet Uncle, Radical dad, Awesome great grandad, Good friend, Loving grandad, Terrific brother, and Bestest brother-in-law. Probably, i would add, the Blueberry guy, the survivor, and although he will not show it, an affectionate Grand-father-in-law.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi34k4f7CPeHDqTPeGGEJmQh7Ge1MIM4AkCPTB0y5_s7GgzhSZx5nOLCMjVbpGRoepRm7zsJwSAW_5RCPzF5xm9wuCuGBrkAE5dC_6PDCOpcnhw4OrnBDyEeTYiP24IKyPGBhp0BYANDAQ/s1600-h/DSC02300.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi34k4f7CPeHDqTPeGGEJmQh7Ge1MIM4AkCPTB0y5_s7GgzhSZx5nOLCMjVbpGRoepRm7zsJwSAW_5RCPzF5xm9wuCuGBrkAE5dC_6PDCOpcnhw4OrnBDyEeTYiP24IKyPGBhp0BYANDAQ/s400/DSC02300.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329669445717024354" /></a><br />The first plan was: made a big party for him in a hall, but he declined that idea. He is not really up to a big party. He just wanted to stay in the house and have a nice, simple, more personal lunch or dinner with family members . I cannot blame him for that, as he preferred a very low profile occasion and he is really not up to talking to lots of people on that day. He wanted a very relaxing birthday, not a <br />stresssful one! At 80,he survived lots of health problems even a cancer. So, he is really so lucky and well-blessed. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsB8P5L7H_x6F0HlA_ZjuJjGFvvVAy3Qv5hOiTJ2K50D3oWN0-fTGJxu6i0HP419hg4O-yLo-ykaqFa5KuXt8WtBpf46xWxqyM5JL6qWe0OLRCeULQ6cZ_juMTeJw_ZMVvMk8SVnIFnns/s1600-h/DSC02307.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsB8P5L7H_x6F0HlA_ZjuJjGFvvVAy3Qv5hOiTJ2K50D3oWN0-fTGJxu6i0HP419hg4O-yLo-ykaqFa5KuXt8WtBpf46xWxqyM5JL6qWe0OLRCeULQ6cZ_juMTeJw_ZMVvMk8SVnIFnns/s400/DSC02307.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329670403735104514" /></a> We know how special is the 80th Birthday for everyone, especially to Grandad Larry who we loved and adored, so our birthday gift for him is for us to be on his birthday. Hence, we flew from Scotland to Canada, most especially to be on his special 80th birthday. We know Grandad was very happy and we had a wonderful time. To you, Grandad Larry, many, many birthdays to come. Cheers to goodhealth, goodhealth and goodhealth!!!<br /><br />For more photos on this day, please click <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=120141&id=734535184&l=69b8d31800">http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=120141&id=734535184&l=69b8d31800</a>Prilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09819820357962843738noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565191399796984580.post-56796526995061496612009-03-26T07:01:00.000-07:002010-07-26T14:06:48.295-07:00Goodbye,Brother Louie,Louie,Louie!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVQf4kz071vRuKxZzVRCgApDn5ad1ssKmsq9x0BWcZ4_mYSLzNGI0VTO4XoJB77DxRgj8ePcquNPWRudg5_Ko8Ks0ERixa3Ud_EI_6A7PPGyXUAvepFQ5JoXk-OhOAWC4gC52mTjNc38o/s1600-h/sk.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVQf4kz071vRuKxZzVRCgApDn5ad1ssKmsq9x0BWcZ4_mYSLzNGI0VTO4XoJB77DxRgj8ePcquNPWRudg5_Ko8Ks0ERixa3Ud_EI_6A7PPGyXUAvepFQ5JoXk-OhOAWC4gC52mTjNc38o/s400/sk.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317497405875953490" /></a><br /><br />This song reminds me of a grown-up lad named Louie. Brother Louie, a very popular disco song of the 80's keeps on repeating Brother Louie, Louie,Louie in the chorus of the song. Yes, i had known someone named Louie and he might not even been born on the 80's...<br /><br />He is a very energetic, idealistic laddie with an infectious smile. First grandson of award winner local government official, the only son of his family, the first male local youth chairperson (Sangguniang Kabataan) of our local government. 15 years younger than me, this youth leader has a clear future of being another leader one day, contributing good developmental projects to the youth of Barangay Labangal and General Santos City as well and even the Philippines in little way. He continued the projects and programs i had started before --- scholarship program to the poor but deserving students, sports development, anti-drug abuse campaign, adolescent development program, etc... etc...Ah, i miss those times when i was a very active youth leader and seeing the dynamism on the next set of leaders after you gives you an inner connection.<br /><br />So, last december of 2007 (i know it seems like yesterday), i bonded with the local youth. The photo here represents three youth leaders in different generation. We had bowling tournament and we had a fun time. The beauty of youth is that energy and vigor is just beaming and giggling and laughter is always around. I could not forget that time and i could not forget this photo.<br /><br />Over a week ago, i was shocked with a news : Louie died in a vehicular accident. Up to now i still cannot believe it. Just a split of a second, his life was taking away from him. So sad...so terrible... The youthful Louie, his smile and his face just like that will be what we will remember of him. Such a tragic loss of life to his family and friends and to the community. My condolence to his family. I know it is a really terrible time.<br /><br />Rest well, Brother Louie,Louie, Louie! We'll treasure the memories we had with you. You'll be forever youthful in our hearts.Prilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09819820357962843738noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565191399796984580.post-21779438989724627062009-02-27T08:11:00.000-08:002009-02-27T09:22:51.118-08:00Valentine's Couple Bunco<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXcUnHHR-Y6_HGTFMZOMFwlTZo-_4nvK8qmhzMW4iPfN717397ZJ8CgNjHnqaCBuOlBcb5F1gDaVhNoRIZd-o8wWmO9QBH5H4O7L8unap7zty_3YPPhC4paXlY2CZTz3H1viyDgtFLrtA/s1600-h/DSC00819.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXcUnHHR-Y6_HGTFMZOMFwlTZo-_4nvK8qmhzMW4iPfN717397ZJ8CgNjHnqaCBuOlBcb5F1gDaVhNoRIZd-o8wWmO9QBH5H4O7L8unap7zty_3YPPhC4paXlY2CZTz3H1viyDgtFLrtA/s320/DSC00819.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307522567791181250" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJNQEmkEqRRgLBGzx3eDSnWYw8liboPoxRv4I9hpbuw9POvFcoIJMfnzobfQ338i0BqRItYE4uOzsuDd1PE2hME3IsDKKMyeVYIRNkHCx6VHAcAKrAxwXiOl05TaBuu3pxUefrqZS0X_Q/s1600-h/DSC00847.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJNQEmkEqRRgLBGzx3eDSnWYw8liboPoxRv4I9hpbuw9POvFcoIJMfnzobfQ338i0BqRItYE4uOzsuDd1PE2hME3IsDKKMyeVYIRNkHCx6VHAcAKrAxwXiOl05TaBuu3pxUefrqZS0X_Q/s320/DSC00847.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307511569819156322" /></a><br /><br />This is the first time that gentlemen(our dear husbands) played bunco with us. It was fun and now they know what is the kind of atmosphere --- lots of screaming and giggling. It was wonderful! In the photos here: me and Scott and our party hosts--Sheila and Nelo.<br /><br />Last February 7, one Saturday when the northeast Scotland roads were all covered with snow, nine (9) sweet pairs did not care about the freezing roads and attended the bunco party-- Sheila and Nelo,Kelly and Sean,Sue and Alan,Lynn and Phil,Becky and Joel,Emilie and Stephen,Elsy and Ken and Annette and Rick; one (1) lovely lady -- Jane, and two (2) cool girls---Meghan and Natasha. Sheila and Nelo , as i previously mentioned hosted the party and Sheila was so gracious enough to give a tour of their spacious, beautiful home. Each participant registered 10 pounds each. The highest price will be 50 pounds for the most bunco wins.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_T-oTljm1qrE6nmJAXaD15688GzO3o2C03j0XFp5b4XBzAaIreYfA-7RiAduT7umQH_gJefJl22N_P8LXX6__iY7zMMuJQo6VXx8G5mexIu2vGpuBUeyb239NM-zAUFB7k2kXkMRhSK8/s1600-h/DSC00828.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_T-oTljm1qrE6nmJAXaD15688GzO3o2C03j0XFp5b4XBzAaIreYfA-7RiAduT7umQH_gJefJl22N_P8LXX6__iY7zMMuJQo6VXx8G5mexIu2vGpuBUeyb239NM-zAUFB7k2kXkMRhSK8/s320/DSC00828.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307511088547360290" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiILwz42pI3IFSvQ6fX_zIdy9g0MradacnaeoL_mfoCIX4zFbBzg9obsf5YCDYuBIwLOc-GGxZjpo2NW4KSRlNfvuGO9xK83mG_DIKJ1x1L5WgdS2QtwmSduKHJXt5_6DlmSRQE_CGRYfo/s1600-h/DSC00844.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiILwz42pI3IFSvQ6fX_zIdy9g0MradacnaeoL_mfoCIX4zFbBzg9obsf5YCDYuBIwLOc-GGxZjpo2NW4KSRlNfvuGO9xK83mG_DIKJ1x1L5WgdS2QtwmSduKHJXt5_6DlmSRQE_CGRYfo/s320/DSC00844.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307526445257092210" /></a><br /><br /><br />As usual, Table 1 was the controller of the game. There were 15 sets of games. Playing the game does not require any skill at all but mainly pure luck. Of course, delectable dishes were present. The host had done great job while the boncu coordinators, Becky and Kelly made the activity very well-organized.<br /><br />Now, the prices: 50 pounds for the highest number of wins, 40 pounds for the player who got the last boncu, 40 pounds for the player who got many aces out, a player who got many losses, and lucky draws of 10 pound each. That means many went home happy because the money was spread out among most of the players. Guess who got the highest price? I did and Scott was one of the lucky draw winners of which i unexpectedly picked out!!!!<br /><br />One thing that i could not forget during that night: this game can be bloody as well as i accidentally scratched Sue's hand while grabbing the dices when she got bunco. Please excuse me, Sue! I honestly really felt bad about it! I hope the 10 pounds you got from the lucky draw was fair enough!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAsj1G0tWmYpi1cBSCrnGGSmvstb4llhukM2MTVhUiukKxSzZTdJTvy6dKkXrB3PsPv9RdBS8Rv1ftgxXjPDMk37DaoRwgsRSykjbZ3suByny81UFS_Xt1G6nZWWgi988vJTrPY3a27O0/s1600-h/DSC00820.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAsj1G0tWmYpi1cBSCrnGGSmvstb4llhukM2MTVhUiukKxSzZTdJTvy6dKkXrB3PsPv9RdBS8Rv1ftgxXjPDMk37DaoRwgsRSykjbZ3suByny81UFS_Xt1G6nZWWgi988vJTrPY3a27O0/s320/DSC00820.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307523144090111762" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8nW_u_B4cqKz1PhAXMG4pP7LA3FpqZJlk5wHs2Aob3u32JrwRiu597g6H-2xjOQsuQP6nRU_u4LboZ_2o_daC7aIgflWhBneYmjjHIeEJv3Cn9DBiUSxz5x79Q9JC66-oP25JO4peaGU/s1600-h/DSC00823.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8nW_u_B4cqKz1PhAXMG4pP7LA3FpqZJlk5wHs2Aob3u32JrwRiu597g6H-2xjOQsuQP6nRU_u4LboZ_2o_daC7aIgflWhBneYmjjHIeEJv3Cn9DBiUSxz5x79Q9JC66-oP25JO4peaGU/s320/DSC00823.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307527114186319314" /></a><br /><br />At the end of the end of the party, my shy husband who obviously had lots of fun that night said, "so when are we going to do this again?"

A party with very good camaraderie, very good laugh and very good food and very good ambiance(not to mention the really funny exchanging of gifts!) is very hard to forget, hence, my blog would never miss that special event in my life! (what a drama!hehehehe!).We had a very good laugh as evidently shown in the photos and posing with silliness and promptness was the rule of the game.<br /><br /><br />Thirteen happy ladies (Becky,Kim,Carolyn,Jane,Kelly,Prily,Lynn,Sheila,Cindy,Cristina,Emilie,Grace and Glenda) attended the party bringing with them christmas gifts, savoury food, sweeties or drinks to share. The gift was worth 10 pounds or more. There was no boncu game to play,so, no dices to roll just friendships, food and drinks to share.<br />Our Boncu organizer,Becky hosted the party. Thanks a lot,Becky, just to let you know that we had a wonderful time!<br /><br />Here are some of the photos, but for more pictures, please click this link: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=103646&id=734535184&l=12784">http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=103646&id=734535184&l=12784</a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMjX712KlnHRANhFnGCseHfX0U97v0p2IH3KvTiW2aFXP22s6_6ddM1LZEDmMM-tCNRqSqDabZ9L7PCwID2ROVqNWbT1bA8VafdAWU_7H_PkEZZcsfMpIe809pxjtP-BvxHYZj5joRbYY/s1600-h/DSC00080.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMjX712KlnHRANhFnGCseHfX0U97v0p2IH3KvTiW2aFXP22s6_6ddM1LZEDmMM-tCNRqSqDabZ9L7PCwID2ROVqNWbT1bA8VafdAWU_7H_PkEZZcsfMpIe809pxjtP-BvxHYZj5joRbYY/s200/DSC00080.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302579197670599730" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5_JpEgcTmTY7xK98N1Bd5FYKc9urHDT4XNHaGVaaCVRwOk_kEarf0zd9ZsCSnMPTz8KG3bQZCFe8U6-ECU4K7T7brWRvQPLHTDOZNsHUy9o1XsFg4IGSDHvxIzySsYWNh_YKPWw7FdFU/s1600-h/DSC00098.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5_JpEgcTmTY7xK98N1Bd5FYKc9urHDT4XNHaGVaaCVRwOk_kEarf0zd9ZsCSnMPTz8KG3bQZCFe8U6-ECU4K7T7brWRvQPLHTDOZNsHUy9o1XsFg4IGSDHvxIzySsYWNh_YKPWw7FdFU/s200/DSC00098.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302580915221167634" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipuFni3r9RugvKTpbUFsFv0cWzjmpg1ER0anx3Sqj5SWGZOCvTExL2QpB1eRERUWp9-zx4XEPICDmVzznHLBOZFcejnX8KcTj98Kk5pqm831lMt8L3zA-xKmB4SckC0qtTiE1w5uTCiCg/s1600-h/DSC00094.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipuFni3r9RugvKTpbUFsFv0cWzjmpg1ER0anx3Sqj5SWGZOCvTExL2QpB1eRERUWp9-zx4XEPICDmVzznHLBOZFcejnX8KcTj98Kk5pqm831lMt8L3zA-xKmB4SckC0qtTiE1w5uTCiCg/s200/DSC00094.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302580097908142754" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcVQ4WSQ9VaO8zM4vYNaRL-t-gDgRIPAk77x2cQTjN44DaQXlXwtEKiNk43W9DkfUFUaFR0wVF_ncTXSsuLnhIxSFdWiIe1-yC2mTVExvf4lug46wmGyY6Veq14RHJnteKBM2quP4LROI/s1600-h/DSC00091.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcVQ4WSQ9VaO8zM4vYNaRL-t-gDgRIPAk77x2cQTjN44DaQXlXwtEKiNk43W9DkfUFUaFR0wVF_ncTXSsuLnhIxSFdWiIe1-yC2mTVExvf4lug46wmGyY6Veq14RHJnteKBM2quP4LROI/s200/DSC00091.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302583345493604354" /></a>Prilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09819820357962843738noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565191399796984580.post-80169082755895412132008-12-02T23:35:00.000-08:002008-12-03T03:26:47.695-08:00Let It Snow!There are still lots of snow today and still more and more will come showcasing that real winter is here!!! It will gonna be a white Christmas, i presupposed. Yesterday morning as i woke up, i opened our glass window and voila! there were lots of snow. It actually started few days ago. With that first accumulation of snow, my boys were excited, especially Prisco and Baby Cam. This is Cameron's first snow, so i knew for sure that he is really so amazed and excited of this new change of season.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWlB0sRzqz_DkKbzffsJr4jiKBIDhL_wuyFYKJHuef_h9wE-t_1hSC2fdyxFDP4GiEEHeadqQ6FGKFjic8bMqDPQagTEAC02h3BfJBYlEiMNI5mgQeX5NwVYp6S4K7z9tGyQ7onrjpbQs/s1600-h/DSC09913.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWlB0sRzqz_DkKbzffsJr4jiKBIDhL_wuyFYKJHuef_h9wE-t_1hSC2fdyxFDP4GiEEHeadqQ6FGKFjic8bMqDPQagTEAC02h3BfJBYlEiMNI5mgQeX5NwVYp6S4K7z9tGyQ7onrjpbQs/s200/DSC09913.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275519231965139970" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7NxNkFX5oSffjBrXuTSWAFwPW11itOoBCgg7kNRKr6hJYp8EN39CAkvCVu0GAcv-lWBaGbQ8Go3fni3r0e6HVAMWw6z3EUaqn6EW5ZD5cg7t0288L7gIq0Iua0wHYOxDxlmiBq0MP510/s1600-h/DSC09914.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7NxNkFX5oSffjBrXuTSWAFwPW11itOoBCgg7kNRKr6hJYp8EN39CAkvCVu0GAcv-lWBaGbQ8Go3fni3r0e6HVAMWw6z3EUaqn6EW5ZD5cg7t0288L7gIq0Iua0wHYOxDxlmiBq0MP510/s200/DSC09914.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275518272270005874" /></a><br /><br />With the first gush of snow, we went to Banchory and explore the woodlands. We reached the place called Scolty Woodland Park where many acres of trees were all covered with the silvery, white snow. We had snow fight and Prisco was the champion on this! I love running around exploiting the thick snow layers and let my footprints embedded on them. I felt like conquering their own little world! It was fun! Yes, it is always cold but fun. So, wearing layers is a must!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2V47iWNfd3bGw8s7H0oriMpMuqWkMCRGLAS3rd2RXr-Z6GsY5pyjychK3sVFcNx8lzTd7Jmq-A-fX1U3a7so-EfAl1FcZQjmpf8qkf0gqCr7ELUC_2z3inGw4AzRkPwriDdVoCrnqXKQ/s1600-h/DSC09910.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2V47iWNfd3bGw8s7H0oriMpMuqWkMCRGLAS3rd2RXr-Z6GsY5pyjychK3sVFcNx8lzTd7Jmq-A-fX1U3a7so-EfAl1FcZQjmpf8qkf0gqCr7ELUC_2z3inGw4AzRkPwriDdVoCrnqXKQ/s200/DSC09910.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275466436897809330" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiERUDfNX_J4zbSdjVyI7Z3G4TuBvGxRk1vgrM9ph8dxhyphenhyphenz8OjUE5t-3IUhk1TARgZs5dUbQOvLKbhgaGRcpXHGL21-sP9dtn5PJNgyiGdCVePMjiNgnrv6_sfYhlc_91d1U8LIfiErzuo/s1600-h/DSC09921.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiERUDfNX_J4zbSdjVyI7Z3G4TuBvGxRk1vgrM9ph8dxhyphenhyphenz8OjUE5t-3IUhk1TARgZs5dUbQOvLKbhgaGRcpXHGL21-sP9dtn5PJNgyiGdCVePMjiNgnrv6_sfYhlc_91d1U8LIfiErzuo/s200/DSC09921.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275523659815659106" /></a>Prilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09819820357962843738noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565191399796984580.post-80475223190316595752008-11-11T14:00:00.000-08:002008-11-12T00:39:48.665-08:00Scott and Prily's Octoberfest!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0aA86RF4jPSCNg7KAn9YNv17Mm2SLQSpaDcCGXymEML_dVY4TaqUS7XOEiB3DbFuy0pyBDqW5Y6mNsJAtFEOLnDqditoTda89LM2iCQbtQywgXoY4iP9cHk46n4VocBxL8N9nrXAADCg/s1600-h/DSC09673.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0aA86RF4jPSCNg7KAn9YNv17Mm2SLQSpaDcCGXymEML_dVY4TaqUS7XOEiB3DbFuy0pyBDqW5Y6mNsJAtFEOLnDqditoTda89LM2iCQbtQywgXoY4iP9cHk46n4VocBxL8N9nrXAADCg/s320/DSC09673.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267525171558817490" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT1BbWj3olzLbDA8XrlyCGToS9Wo3h9Xz95k_db6DWKiTsBlPxx2dYoM_CuM27CrjnSS5uIKaX-L7XKes8s0DdL_sG7kvCFHchhzn0hHmJI2_XKtWbSUpWrQs_bWPrDOCWnUoARbBhIH8/s1600-h/DSC09658.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT1BbWj3olzLbDA8XrlyCGToS9Wo3h9Xz95k_db6DWKiTsBlPxx2dYoM_CuM27CrjnSS5uIKaX-L7XKes8s0DdL_sG7kvCFHchhzn0hHmJI2_XKtWbSUpWrQs_bWPrDOCWnUoARbBhIH8/s320/DSC09658.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267524484150654498" /></a><br /><br /><br />There are two major occasions last October that we had celebrated --- my birthday and our wedding anniversary. So, i invited my close neighbors and good friends here in Scotland to join us with our simple feast and "get together". My good friends, Mario and Sally helped me with the cooking. They are good nurses but equally good cooks. So, we feast on Filipino dishes such as Pancit Canton(Noodles), Afritada, Caldereta, Chicken Curry, Vegetable Lumpia(Springrolls), Beef steak, Fried Rice, Biko, Seafoods --- succulent big prawns and escabeche (sweet and sour fish), arroz valenciana, paella, chopsuey, maja blanca and pininyahang manok(chicken with pineapple). The party started at 6 pm until almost 2 in the morning. We had lots of fun. We had videoke and lots of dancing, and of course, lots and lots of eating. We are lucky to have a big lounge area to accommodate lots of guests.<br /><br />Here are some of my beautiful friends who stayed until the wee hours of the morning: Cheryl, Joy, Sally, Mario, Tenny, Shiela, Mark, Jane and her daughter Isabel. Thanks for those who joined us until almost 12 midnight: the loving couples Ruchelle and James and Auntie and Uncle Derek. To my neighbors who got kids and stayed until 11 pm, thanks so much for coming. I am so pleased they loved the Asian/Filipino cuisine.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPh27JwmppyoHj6FdVK05FuvUDuRs6XakIsmEoqXZREiWwjFvnWbe8qpTrlREnqzczQk1c8EW9LvF9Y1m-cUNZMnvcDyWOLWo0UVlVTFM4uxM87ua-poSCtQGT6mFT7NVKepeDAp6oNis/s1600-h/DSC09669.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPh27JwmppyoHj6FdVK05FuvUDuRs6XakIsmEoqXZREiWwjFvnWbe8qpTrlREnqzczQk1c8EW9LvF9Y1m-cUNZMnvcDyWOLWo0UVlVTFM4uxM87ua-poSCtQGT6mFT7NVKepeDAp6oNis/s320/DSC09669.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267530042513592098" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQp7giIVhjfBjioU2vRhSoNqnB-tsNeSaCZKQ6za6BJgnSoePnNf3URIWhHepVs2tySkispuomfNHwzi8nFs8UCFdNo8Ixp4QkhORmkJlq3ybQO-YiSg2EyoMneJeIhFeTZhp1lkwrNaA/s1600-h/DSC09664.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQp7giIVhjfBjioU2vRhSoNqnB-tsNeSaCZKQ6za6BJgnSoePnNf3URIWhHepVs2tySkispuomfNHwzi8nFs8UCFdNo8Ixp4QkhORmkJlq3ybQO-YiSg2EyoMneJeIhFeTZhp1lkwrNaA/s320/DSC09664.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267531077263780578" /></a><br /><br />Here is our Anniversary cake.

But now,i am double 3 and as my husband said, "you're catching up on me and you will never catch me!." My husband is over 34, going 35. But, oh well, it is not a big deal.<br /><br />The big deal is this: i am 33 and is happy, is content, has peace of mind and on the best of health. I am 33 with no debt or financial liability. I am 33 with possessions i do not imagine i can have.<br /><br />I am 33 and i got a wonderful, very loving husband who spoiled me to bits, caring me so much, beholding me as his equal. I am 33 and got 2 adorable boys who blessed me in many ways unimaginable.<br /><br />With these things, i am so grateful. Nothing more i will ask for. I have families that care for me. I have friends that greet my day.<br /><br />On my birthday, although i keep telling them, i don't need anything, still i got something --- cards, cash, jewelries, perfumes. Thanks for the best wishes from my families and friends.<br /><br />I thank God for all the blessings i received. I am very grateful for everything. I know that there are lots of uncertainties in life but i would say i am a very lucky woman who had faced lots of trials and tribulations beginning at an early age and had survived those. <br /><br />I am 33 and i am taking things easy, one day at a time, one step at a time.<br /><br />Again, i am so grateful and thankful. Thank you, Lord for making me the kind of person i am now. <br /><br />I am now 33 and the journey is still long and although sometimes the road will be bumpy and rough, i will remain happy and confident because i know there are lots of happier, more exciting times ahead.Prilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09819820357962843738noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565191399796984580.post-73389528853309817082008-08-26T05:08:00.000-07:002008-08-26T06:56:16.096-07:00What We Did Last Summer?The air is now getting colder, what a change of season! Before we know it, the hot summer is gone. Well, am back after almost two months of going around. I want to thank you for visiting my site even of my absence and i have to admit that i am missing the Blogosphere. But of course, i know, i know, there are lot of many things than blogging, but what the heck, i will blog again, anyway...<br /><br />But what did we do last summer that i was really sooo preoccupied? Here is the list:<br /><br />1. I travel with my kids and my in-laws. We visited the Royal Deeside of Scotland, saw Inverness which is the capital of Royal Highlands, saw one of our most favorite cities in the world --- Edinburgh, the lovely, very clean and amazing capital of Scotland, and saw Glasgow and any other villages/counties around Scotland.<br /><br />2. We travel to Canada. We flew from Glasgow to Halifax and from Halifax to my husband's county --- Hant's County, the place of the highest recorded tide in the world. We travel to Fredericton as well, one of the cities of New Brunswick, Canada. In there, we attended the 50th Wedding Anniversary of my husband's Great Aunt. <br /><br />3. Visit relatives. We love seeing my husband's family, most especially Grandparents.<br /><br />4. We got married. Yes, again! It was not easy to get married. Lots of things to be considered and that is why i have to be away right after Prisco's Nursery school was finished. Getting married means making invitations, book for the venue, book for the photographer, choose the food, choose a band or a DJ, choose a wedding gown, a wedding shoes, Groom's tuxedo and the outfits of the wedding party, bouquet, boutonnaires, etc...etc... I will talk more about it next time.<br /><br />But all in all, what an amazing, long, summer holiday! Here are two photos which i want to share for now:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOAb9zsqZMWCf9T0fgFXDZDziWAk7wi-boP18XhGT_GOqI5inHoaoAG2clJ_WXd63dTpoDNo55NfveDjdy-g5q_oeR6ZvUM71xVZ8BrcOSMvG_8quLv21JXy50xmJJsx_ViI2xFOVK3js/s1600-h/888-31.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

It is now the exciting start of summer for me. I will be off from the Blogosphere and will do lots of touring around. My inlaws will be with me as we discover many captivating castles, mysterious rivers and basins, vibrant cities and sumptuous foods. We'll have many, many other things to see and do --- a river cruise, a wildlife encounter, an encounter with other nationality, a taste of a foreign food, a glance of wonderful gardens, etc... etc...It will be a really fantastic and enticing summer for me...<br /><br />Likewise, we'll be off to Canada on the 6th of July to spend more time with relatives and friends. We will be there until the 15th of August. Yup, surely it will be long summer holiday for me.<br /><br />I will be missing our "planet" here. But i will get back to you once i will be back again in Scotland.<br /><br />Take care,my friends!

This is the home of juicy, sweet strawberries you will never like to miss whilst on Aberdeen,Scotland! We are lucky to be here on the right time for picking. This is my first strawberry-picking experience, also first time for both of my kids. My in-laws and my husband had been to many strawberry-picking experiences in Canada. So, the experience was not new to them. I was very excited and so were my boys... all of us were very excited! We can eat as much as we can while picking. I ate a lot and my two boys,too.... Ah.... The taste?

There is nothing that says summer like a bowl of fresh, delicious strawberries. You can see how my baby boy likes the taste of it. We all love strawberries. Anyone, who doesn't like it? Sweet and juicy, fresh strawberries are truly nature's bounty.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE54fGeseGQXPVJ-xPmbd0mBU5iUqvyscxvuRTFFyUb1CJeZjn8E4q2W-jXswjo3nDOVMyr279SCgiujIIK5XVphtP_4jlzJR6t3AVSM8iZofhSXrLvsZ_hQaocWxn0QVYHjsfiAx8FSc/s1600-h/royaldeeside+083.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE54fGeseGQXPVJ-xPmbd0mBU5iUqvyscxvuRTFFyUb1CJeZjn8E4q2W-jXswjo3nDOVMyr279SCgiujIIK5XVphtP_4jlzJR6t3AVSM8iZofhSXrLvsZ_hQaocWxn0QVYHjsfiAx8FSc/s320/royaldeeside+083.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217648062804462146" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJDNFjolPrB_ldnmepOfIiWzcMiCihGeGK5bX_J6dWsOVjsK36LMS5rVgFlrzvpByPK8vCOUx-XAXXrR_acmcjGHZn_Cu6C7BeFw7liybhEWVZrU3AaROadL69PP8tOpm_k3_r8rtnYHw/s1600-h/royaldeeside+082.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJDNFjolPrB_ldnmepOfIiWzcMiCihGeGK5bX_J6dWsOVjsK36LMS5rVgFlrzvpByPK8vCOUx-XAXXrR_acmcjGHZn_Cu6C7BeFw7liybhEWVZrU3AaROadL69PP8tOpm_k3_r8rtnYHw/s320/royaldeeside+082.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217649279646600066" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWs9Uvz8gqqWjHtucxxKEMtWKoD-XqYAK6tgmefprye62xNUPC-oe9N4re6NZlSJBm9f7SQtJEJBykRfNEqY6ksimYjNEOqcFnmtMeDLpitOx19GmP5a-gCG3q90i-z5TbVAQcKkfuxmY/s1600-h/royaldeeside+068.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWs9Uvz8gqqWjHtucxxKEMtWKoD-XqYAK6tgmefprye62xNUPC-oe9N4re6NZlSJBm9f7SQtJEJBykRfNEqY6ksimYjNEOqcFnmtMeDLpitOx19GmP5a-gCG3q90i-z5TbVAQcKkfuxmY/s320/royaldeeside+068.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217649745248369842" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_gCP4MmY0TjBc0ny5x5lT7QYNYMnwL0tjGvj9n8Vs2rdsVUmweHBfvNsOz2sXBCxCvIMiTYB0b_X1MD_o_QVF6xWEb2IfXEPXLC7x2jI5n2ERCFN8hyQ3T4l1igHa482YrjYG23cPe0I/s1600-h/royaldeeside+069.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_gCP4MmY0TjBc0ny5x5lT7QYNYMnwL0tjGvj9n8Vs2rdsVUmweHBfvNsOz2sXBCxCvIMiTYB0b_X1MD_o_QVF6xWEb2IfXEPXLC7x2jI5n2ERCFN8hyQ3T4l1igHa482YrjYG23cPe0I/s320/royaldeeside+069.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217650833246666594" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1mwVt1Cez5G1hkOIDpGu-I8mrbcWExCbWxQBNsDF0tBp3RpjU74bScqAP_kx5_qxyzWo3NeQAEWQ1fD1kVzqn8E4j4q-hhc_en1xiAFK9rAUkuQXpy-8aHC1uSOfaB8FctKyLPUcLXGc/s1600-h/royaldeeside+085.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1mwVt1Cez5G1hkOIDpGu-I8mrbcWExCbWxQBNsDF0tBp3RpjU74bScqAP_kx5_qxyzWo3NeQAEWQ1fD1kVzqn8E4j4q-hhc_en1xiAFK9rAUkuQXpy-8aHC1uSOfaB8FctKyLPUcLXGc/s320/royaldeeside+085.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217651276233779890" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLNyq-hKaSd2REvqYVIg-hRiY4-oOgxPwBNrcCIrUMgcSgKIV-09SoBf9CpHD2RxH022uejCfhxV7IpjmIAASQon7XCoh0ihc7tzRCOL0YGENgRzGSowEkYZELR5IoMI82i2udCgQJnJc/s1600-h/royaldeeside+071.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLNyq-hKaSd2REvqYVIg-hRiY4-oOgxPwBNrcCIrUMgcSgKIV-09SoBf9CpHD2RxH022uejCfhxV7IpjmIAASQon7XCoh0ihc7tzRCOL0YGENgRzGSowEkYZELR5IoMI82i2udCgQJnJc/s320/royaldeeside+071.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217652002440021826" /></a>Prilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09819820357962843738noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565191399796984580.post-30077546582903220472008-06-27T21:41:00.000-07:002008-12-09T04:47:13.954-08:00First-Aid Training for Children Under 5's"<strong>Children are angels whose wings grow shorter as their legs grow longer</strong>." (Old French Proverb)<br /><br />Once our angelic babies are already unstoppable, wandering, and became curious machines whose only purpose in life (apart from eating) is to make mess as possible, injuries are always a common thing and we as adults should never take for granted the basic survival skills. We know that many young children are inquisitive, curious and "risk-takers"; venturing out into a world that is immense and dangerous. <em>Compare our children with little cars without steering wheels, bumpers or brakes!</em><br /><br />Until children learn the basic survival skills, they remain vulnerable and at greater risk of injury in the home. Parents or carers must carry out a difficult balancing act between encouraging children to explore and develop, while ensuring they don't get hurt. Although prevention is ultimately the best, First-Aid Course helps deal with some of the common injuries that may occur within the home.<br /><br />For three thursday mornings this June, i had participated in a First-aid training course for under 5 year olds at Kintore Community Center. I had been a first-aider when i was in highschool and college but first-aid is a very important thing that you need to refresh every now and then. It was a long while since i had a refresher's course. I was so happy after finishing this short course.<br /><br />My first-aid learnings during my younger days were focused on older people, but this one is different, we focused on babies 5 year olds below. The other differece is the kind of environment that we focused. I asked them," what shall we do if an ant went to child's ear?" This happened to me many times when i was kid. Nobody had answered, they were like shock with the question! And then one instructor said, " <strong>I had never seen an ant in Scotland</strong>!". Oh, great!!!!<br /><br />Anyway, the areas that we covered were the following: <br /><br />1. Unintentional Injuries and Accidents in under 14's like Falls, Burns/Scalds, Poisoning and Garden Injuries. ( We try an avois using the term "accident" and instead refer to this as an "unintentional injury". Using "accident" can make people believe that the injury was just bad luck, a random event and ultimately unavoidable. This is not the case as many "accidents" can be predicted and avoided. We are trying to challenge the belief that "nothing can be done" and show that many "unintentional injuries" are preventable.<br /><br />2. Fire Safety/Electricity Safety/Glass Safety<br /><br />3. Safety Barriers and Door Safety<br /><br />4. Cuts and Wounds<br /><br />5. Fracture<br /><br />6. Shock/ Seizure or Fit<br /><br />7. Choking<br /><br />8. Child Basic Life Support (AR/CPR)<br /><br />Always the aims of first-aid are to preserve life, prevent condition getting worse and promote recovery before the services of a physician is obtained. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC8k3Rwcti4ZizTY7Mzf4_aAoQZmOjpLGnGR4xqoOc4NOmZYR_7ecoYx35ZNRRWhmfNByP0Psf9xqwTeUY9AdcmMPhTT9seGmoQOOLXQNKVVRLDUROmWyBG8jbL5AleGAXeNRe4rQ1OO0/s1600-h/kintorepics+204.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC8k3Rwcti4ZizTY7Mzf4_aAoQZmOjpLGnGR4xqoOc4NOmZYR_7ecoYx35ZNRRWhmfNByP0Psf9xqwTeUY9AdcmMPhTT9seGmoQOOLXQNKVVRLDUROmWyBG8jbL5AleGAXeNRe4rQ1OO0/s320/kintorepics+204.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216805526687892450" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpNToQV9Tt5iXl7gP6oRjjRQhoWMEA7cjhVZp69F0ogM_FSOOPjwUbnt4FpMvDaiKTNi5SWXgaGnMGsQrbXZlDraRTQjVF6lG8AMA9HZACcUiAbLouODPHvoRVP_JdhqP5CPObdH88FV4/s1600-h/kintorepics+205.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpNToQV9Tt5iXl7gP6oRjjRQhoWMEA7cjhVZp69F0ogM_FSOOPjwUbnt4FpMvDaiKTNi5SWXgaGnMGsQrbXZlDraRTQjVF6lG8AMA9HZACcUiAbLouODPHvoRVP_JdhqP5CPObdH88FV4/s320/kintorepics+205.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216806527578045730" /></a>Prilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09819820357962843738noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565191399796984580.post-26592196225835344392008-06-26T08:08:00.000-07:002008-12-09T04:47:14.106-08:00The Flame of Friendship<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxnXA35ZyKbHyLyBcA9KEksvRBkiQiO-KeMx7_oHvgA0uGuADX99kb4dxF2iM5mu6w1-vxS79-nAbATmVpPDogAgmlAbPGCZbCO0QKRlIlHEdGLkmVhy1EsTOMe8WJYpxe29dzVV7L7r8/s1600-h/FLAMEoffriendshipfrom_VIVY.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxnXA35ZyKbHyLyBcA9KEksvRBkiQiO-KeMx7_oHvgA0uGuADX99kb4dxF2iM5mu6w1-vxS79-nAbATmVpPDogAgmlAbPGCZbCO0QKRlIlHEdGLkmVhy1EsTOMe8WJYpxe29dzVV7L7r8/s320/FLAMEoffriendshipfrom_VIVY.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216216612499900162" /></a><br />The Flame of Friendship. <br />A symbol of spirit of unity.<br />The burning icon of love.<br />Undying picture of hope.<br />The hot symbol of oneness.<br />The Flame of Friendship. <br /><br />And now it’s your turn to flame yourself!<br />Meet new friends.

They might be little bit old-fashioned, but they are what we call the classic. The first is the Circa 1920 Mortier 89 Key Fairground Organ which was purchased by Bill Barrack from the Lord o' Neil of Shanes castle, Northern Ireland. It was one of the exhibited items on the fair. The other one is a Scottish lady piper. I would say there are only very few lady pipers. Listen to their melodies...<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/URgwjy144uA&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/URgwjy144uA&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tsjT4DrRPdc&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tsjT4DrRPdc&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Prilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09819820357962843738noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565191399796984580.post-55133027444703567332008-06-23T09:41:00.000-07:002008-12-09T04:47:18.555-08:00Steam Engine and Vintage Cars Exhibition - Part 2This Vintage Fair 2008 is actually the 5th time around that is being held on the grounds of Castle Fraser. Exhibitors have travelled from all parts of the UK and some parts of Europe to share their passion for their vehicles (despite the recent increases in fuel costs!). It is so encouraging to know that there are so many enthusiasts preserving these vehicles, which some existed even on the early 1900s. I do believe that these vehicles are great pride of United Kingdom as these form part of their heritage. Well, good for them and as for me and my inlaws, we were delighted to be a part of the exhibition as cheerful audiences. <br /><br />I would like to share some vintage cars photos. I want to thank Popsy Robbie for contributing me some of the photos he took. These are just samples of the hundreds of automobiles on display.

We went last weekend with my in-laws. I am so surprised how these steam engines and vintage automobiles look so new, dazzling and shining as if they were never used at all! I can only imagine the many, many hours which are put in over long winters on care and conservation of these vehicles. Just really amazing! Here are some photos...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOYJRQ83SI4ksVk_2qdMVaR0PrH9CiKDpA2YNHaac_tRuAkRACH74TPT9ZukyEmfMeGpfZFPUZQQyc-6_JTJu1RlEpI1ajTKbt0uTyONa9RdjWYbssrW1Pog1NyPsE1ADYvW_GxVHIOAA/s1600-h/kintorepics+244.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOYJRQ83SI4ksVk_2qdMVaR0PrH9CiKDpA2YNHaac_tRuAkRACH74TPT9ZukyEmfMeGpfZFPUZQQyc-6_JTJu1RlEpI1ajTKbt0uTyONa9RdjWYbssrW1Pog1NyPsE1ADYvW_GxVHIOAA/s320/kintorepics+244.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215106731848105378" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyAPJCK0kEV9WzVgbhmg2opcL8DHaFpp0R8zgzpo28kvvzZj8tbyy_AJISQDRg7sIZlg1hhndGYVXqzlxeDykVFOu10W67vAwNwjUExN9Rs2yVuV-OpMI8IWg2cohCOe17K3Sz2RcfNKQ/s1600-h/kintorepics+245.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyAPJCK0kEV9WzVgbhmg2opcL8DHaFpp0R8zgzpo28kvvzZj8tbyy_AJISQDRg7sIZlg1hhndGYVXqzlxeDykVFOu10W67vAwNwjUExN9Rs2yVuV-OpMI8IWg2cohCOe17K3Sz2RcfNKQ/s320/kintorepics+245.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215108339038579394" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxIHG7lhrTW7KLcKwOGcT2lI43eHOLg1JUP9vsRtslXoQB3xdJoT78H9kFa9NZvsaHqRymTK4JLb66ulbIrUUH8blWVpJ235_0GPhxnad6R5M5eJaoAYe3wlC4Iesm61pBKByhBiByUK8/s1600-h/kintorepics+242.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxIHG7lhrTW7KLcKwOGcT2lI43eHOLg1JUP9vsRtslXoQB3xdJoT78H9kFa9NZvsaHqRymTK4JLb66ulbIrUUH8blWVpJ235_0GPhxnad6R5M5eJaoAYe3wlC4Iesm61pBKByhBiByUK8/s320/kintorepics+242.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215110838279319650" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirBDbWtKVDdAOf1sm7a8abWdA5tmah5UBjRw01QBUjpyXMPgkZ6HUR0xH1bXfAztp8CamYlNgOZvbRuy3aYbM-LN09vcA8oBJeXOB-qaZ49SdzZ8fX362f3WVs7tnpfmJ9onpoZn35Wvo/s1600-h/kintorepics+243.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirBDbWtKVDdAOf1sm7a8abWdA5tmah5UBjRw01QBUjpyXMPgkZ6HUR0xH1bXfAztp8CamYlNgOZvbRuy3aYbM-LN09vcA8oBJeXOB-qaZ49SdzZ8fX362f3WVs7tnpfmJ9onpoZn35Wvo/s320/kintorepics+243.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215111409874453970" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHGAXQ95LAXH3zZ_Wp7wBdpf_9rx9sUdyKW73FgcRlzQOwj08XKL9BF_PX2hxtndglfR9tudJ21I39AgKNuXTVxxUaxYhJzs1vu4T8PG75X7AhCHfebtHiJXko8Gq4j9xjk34OQTG5x-8/s1600-h/kintorepics+246.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHGAXQ95LAXH3zZ_Wp7wBdpf_9rx9sUdyKW73FgcRlzQOwj08XKL9BF_PX2hxtndglfR9tudJ21I39AgKNuXTVxxUaxYhJzs1vu4T8PG75X7AhCHfebtHiJXko8Gq4j9xjk34OQTG5x-8/s320/kintorepics+246.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215112465245470690" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqLxaAJYFmP98MCG01ukLxmrHBwZCl1H6lr2LkyL8dFnqz4sJTiZ3kwPH5o-ZmHXVi58YU9Q7BiOj_xyfpH9J_Fylz8p_qHL1kuL6uYlRclXniAJO6jpg1vl-VXm6thpGaPuWQKwvATcQ/s1600-h/kintorepics+212.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqLxaAJYFmP98MCG01ukLxmrHBwZCl1H6lr2LkyL8dFnqz4sJTiZ3kwPH5o-ZmHXVi58YU9Q7BiOj_xyfpH9J_Fylz8p_qHL1kuL6uYlRclXniAJO6jpg1vl-VXm6thpGaPuWQKwvATcQ/s320/kintorepics+212.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215119460369949426" /></a><br /><br /><br />I had put a good look at some of the magnificent examples of traction steam engines which are on the show and i can only think about how much time, patience and devotion it takes to keep these engines looking and running as they are!

The food looks so yummy, appetizing, and succulent. After the demo, Scott took a photo of us with the Kilted Chef. But first the food...<br /><br />Here are some collops of pork with caramelized apple and black pudding on Thyme mashed potato with natural jus together with the poached chicken and cous cous.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipmcbr1FigwJHaZ9k639zEHnyF7Z9HOA_jX0SVGIObd8uwz0T2WD0HKah1T30-0-Dvn6eW5cLTD7XAIGmzuPeLVob__DHPqTwkfJHOt5xMDS9gZKVNS_rZx3MKKqK6l_NlTdl6GoUgx-A/s1600-h/kintorepics+151.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipmcbr1FigwJHaZ9k639zEHnyF7Z9HOA_jX0SVGIObd8uwz0T2WD0HKah1T30-0-Dvn6eW5cLTD7XAIGmzuPeLVob__DHPqTwkfJHOt5xMDS9gZKVNS_rZx3MKKqK6l_NlTdl6GoUgx-A/s320/kintorepics+151.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215090327533414002" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0KkDxh6WtS89D8YHUJ1k1yxmsKvdlU_BDuM3Xn-MrXTcty_s2XAXoMyJEZUDKROXozyg5nb848y35bLtgdjFLmDTV_ghqJ4e9nV04Kz_6v5YwU0ykoCeqe4rpTaD7aawvgxUD_DI88KI/s1600-h/kintorepics+155.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0KkDxh6WtS89D8YHUJ1k1yxmsKvdlU_BDuM3Xn-MrXTcty_s2XAXoMyJEZUDKROXozyg5nb848y35bLtgdjFLmDTV_ghqJ4e9nV04Kz_6v5YwU0ykoCeqe4rpTaD7aawvgxUD_DI88KI/s320/kintorepics+155.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215091038109715074" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3JaGJiPXnSfYX8vqBVdWHTPvQ1MiNrPFJC6TUlYNHAXX0DMPtI0xt4FZHWnvhUk3cEpf_vJ111bocwhREOhoAxi0J9iL-jbhGFT9pGho1OqUq-jjuKTMUmzRoldoXa_hCPSth3bONO9k/s1600-h/kintorepics+152.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3JaGJiPXnSfYX8vqBVdWHTPvQ1MiNrPFJC6TUlYNHAXX0DMPtI0xt4FZHWnvhUk3cEpf_vJ111bocwhREOhoAxi0J9iL-jbhGFT9pGho1OqUq-jjuKTMUmzRoldoXa_hCPSth3bONO9k/s320/kintorepics+152.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215092060859415778" /></a><br /><br />What we like with this chef is that he is so abrupt, no fuzziness and he is just natural. He said that a certain recipe should not be followed all thoroughly. If it tastes good, then, that's it! Some people are allergic or do not like the taste of onions or garlic, or ginger, etc.... So you put your own condiments whatever you fancy and which you think taste good on your palate. <br /><br />Here is one video demo i got about poached chicken and a photo of us and Prisco by my husband...<br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nk33r2srBmQ"> </param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nk33r2srBmQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaVUWk4zekxEh2y1KZxVjb5OkLJRQ1IsDl7W9wYGmiHFe90IUf5DzwduKnAhyPO8mhvs3rcjVpqUxZpNUUxjEsDchD7yVdQf_lz3Ue9A5t9nbWHxcgHL6Tofca7CLjC1gkxqRwz_dGxP8/s1600-h/kintorepics+156.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaVUWk4zekxEh2y1KZxVjb5OkLJRQ1IsDl7W9wYGmiHFe90IUf5DzwduKnAhyPO8mhvs3rcjVpqUxZpNUUxjEsDchD7yVdQf_lz3Ue9A5t9nbWHxcgHL6Tofca7CLjC1gkxqRwz_dGxP8/s320/kintorepics+156.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215094343159472674" /></a>Prilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09819820357962843738noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565191399796984580.post-77679474266158408922008-06-17T07:15:00.000-07:002008-12-09T04:47:27.439-08:00Imagine... When Churches are now PubsActually, there is really no need to imagine because it is happening everywhere, especialy these times ... <br /><br />When people finds the churches boring and old-fashioned, what will happen to the religious structures that were previously constructed to bring honor and glory to God? Here in United Kingdom, they converted them into pubs or bars. Young people (ah not only the young people but of course with the leadership of the elders)thought it is far better idea. Younger generation seems not interested in going to church anymore( having always a fabulous night-out is much favored). Not all but many are. That has what happened to the structures that i am presenting now. For us who came from a religious country, what would we think? We think it is not proper? We think it is not decent? But really who cares about what we think? I had seen a church in Pampanga, very near to the pubs there (on a district across SM Mall) that is being converted into pubs, too, so what makes the difference? Anyway, i am showcasing here how the world is changing now a days. As i am here in Scotland, all i can say is that <strong>Drinking is the national pastime </strong>here, that's why there are lots of pubs.

The writing said: "Enter at your peril." Scary, isn't it? <br /><br />As for myself, i can only hum my favorite song from one of my favorite singers, John Lennon. I always love this song <strong>Imagine</strong> ....Who cares if i am little bit radical? <br /><br /><em><strong>Imagine there's no heaven it's easy if you try<br />No hell below us above us only sky<br />Imagine all the people living for today...<br /><br />Imagine there's no countries it isn't hard to do<br />Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too<br />Imagine all the people living life in peace...<br /><br />You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one<br />I hope someday you'll join us and the world will be as one<br /><br />Imagine no possessions i wonder if you can<br />No need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man<br />Imagine all the people sharing all the world...<br /><br />You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one<br />I hope someday you'll join us and the world will live as one.</strong></em>Prilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09819820357962843738noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565191399796984580.post-34356335776438119472008-06-13T09:11:00.000-07:002008-06-13T09:23:32.411-07:00OCTOBERsuper! --- A Tag!I got this tag from my cousin and constant "tagger" <a href="http://tweetart-sweet.blogspot.com/2008/06/september-searcher-hows-that.html">LYNN.</a> I will do this now because my inlaws are resting(that means one less tag done!)...<br /><br />1.Determine your birthday month and get a word that rhymes with it or you can affix to it. Caps lock your birth month (ex: MAYday! JUNE dune, APRILicious, JULYvely, AUGUST pocus, parched MARCH…). Be unique.<br /><br />2.Your birth month plus the word affixed or rhymed shall become the tag’s title in your case.<br /><br />3.Get your birthday and add the digits involved. Example, if your birthday falls on the 25th of July, add 2 and 5 you get 7.<br /><br />4.Whatever is the sum, write a list of the MATERIAL gifts you wish to receive, the number of which shall correspond to the sum of your birthday. For example, applying the case above (in rule number 3), you will write seven (7) things you wish to receive.<br /><br />5.After your wish list, put your name and birthday in the Bloggers’ Birthday Directory, with a link to your blog/s. Note: when you add your birthday, please place it in a way that the dates appear chronological (January, February… 1, 2, 3)<br /><br />6.Pass this tag meme by tagging as many people as you want.<br /><br />Bloggers’ Birthday Directory:<br /><br />| February 18 - Nancy| February 20 - Caryl February 23 - Jammy March 7 - Mari | April 13 - TERE | May 3 - Vannie | May 8 - joanjoyce | May 27 – Zang Caesar | August 27 - Francine, La Place de Cherie, Cherie | September 1 - Lynn, September 2 - Chikai | | September 30 - Mckhoii | December 18 - JoshuaOngYS | December 19 - Alpha | October 2- Hailey October 30 - Prily<br /><br /><strong>My results:</strong><br /><br />Here's my result:<br /><br />Name: Prily<br />Birthday : October 30<br />Calculations: 3<br />Wishlist:1.)
