In Chicago

Admin — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 15:21:06 +0000

I flew to Chicago, Illinois last January to have my expiring Philippine passport renewed at the Consulate. The process did not take me long because I have prepared already the necessary documents, after all, it would not be wise and easy to fly back or roam around the city for one paper. I enjoyed, despite the bitter cold, walking around and seeing lots of things. It was one unforgettable trip. I was so slow though. It would be months later before I found out something happened or was done while I was in Chicago. But I hope in the Lord, and what He has prepared for me.

Guest room

I really had a great time visiting my friend in Florida couple of months ago. I stayed in their house for one week, and toured around Disneyworld’s parks. This was the guest room. It’s very nice, to wake up each morning seeing the lovely flowers through the windows with beautiful blinds and hearing the birds’ morning calls by the creek. It was really amazing. I really enjoyed my stay and so glad I went and visit them by myself.

Family

It’s a fact in life that somehow, somewhere and sometimes we sojourn to a strange land to explore and to fulfill our dreams, for our families, and ourselves. I am so glad my sister has made it with all the requirements, but as always during departures, I feel sad. I know my family back home feel more deeper that they are the one left behind. She is traveling now, where it will be easy to go back. Now we sisters are scattered in four continents. We agreed that next year everyone of us will go home for our family reunion, God willing. I just pray for safety and His protection during the full year we still have to face. We just have to strengthen ourselves and our trust in God, to cast our burdens and cares to Him. The reward for a lot of sad tears is great, we will have been apart for two years then, and there are four additions to our family, two in-laws and two nieces, at least we are sure the first angel is a girl. It will never be the same again, but He makes all things to grow for the better.

American bald eagle

This is an American Bald Eagle at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom, during one their amazing shows. It is beautiful, isnt it? The good news is that it is reported to have been removed from the endangered species lists. That is just great! Victory for the birds, thanks to the bird conservationists.

Lion King

In the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight; and so will I too, early. It is not just to slow down aging (never too early to prevent future complications) and maintain youthful and beautiful skin to sleep early and get enough of it, but for my plan tomorrow, Sunday, Church. I want to be early. I had barely enough time last week, and I missed one turn, I ended up having to drive around for several more miles. Not that I’m gonna miss again tomorrow, uh-uh, no more.

This was the Lion King and party, during the musical in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. I didn’t expect it was a musical we gonna watch, but I enjoyed it, it’s an impressive show.

At Animal Kingdom park

Park goers and Mount Everest replica at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom. We toured the park whole day and it was raining and super cold that we bought Disney sweaters and jackets without planning. It was unforgettable and very fun day with my friend and her husband.

Inside the dome

This was the row where we seated inside the Lousiana Superdome, on the first two front seats. ‘They’d better win’! And the Saints did. And they say “Who dat say that Saints can’t win, who dat?” They just made their own franchise win record. Glad because it makes hubby happy and excited, at least worth the trip; well, even if they lost, we still had a great time there. It was so noisy when the game was over, even down on the streets, everyone of them fans is so happy and jubilant. Who would not be if they’e crazy about it..

Kipling travel

Admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 21:35:29 +0000

In about a week I will be off to visit my friend. It will be about three-hour flight. I am really excited. We planned to shop when we get there so I won’t bring much stuff with me, I will be staying in their house for just one week anyway. Of course we are both thrift shoppers when it makes sense so this time we could buy a lot if not much. So my plan is to check my Kipling baggage that contains another small bag that will be my carry-on on my flight back. It is a kind of luggage that is very durable so no worries about the handling and the length of flight. I love traveling and I can’t wait for this one.

Walking to the dome

Admin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:33:58 +0000

Last year we took a taxi, but this year we learned a lesson. We just walked to Louisiana Superdome which was just some blocks away from the hotel we stayed at for the weekend. We saved not just money for the taxi, or from possible trouble from finding our parking space if we drove down. Walking down several streets gave our feet the exercise due them, and of course, some quality time together. It was memorable. Even saved us a lot of time of getting to our destination faster than being trapped in several minutes of taffic.
