New home, new life, and new adventure

Finally were back here in Jersey Channel Island UK. Though we missed the heavy snow in London when we left but we had some few pictures of it early morning when the heavy snow came and glad we left early on that day otherwise we will be stuck in the road because of the traffic jam the snow brings..enough for that...we are here now settling here in Jersey for a while got a 2bedroom flat in a very nice area near the lake and 15minutes drive to town.

Way back 2 years ago this place is still very fresh in my mind the first time I arrive here in the UK..this is the very first place my foot touch in...now were back again here...will not too bad because the shopping is very good, lots of shops and few places I still remember and of course pubs that me and glen loves to go and have a pint of local beer and a pint of cider for me...had a nice and lovely holiday also 2 weeks ago...I was able to tour around UK...been to the most southerly part of the UK...the Lizard and Lands end in Cornwall and been to the most northerly part of Scotland in John o Groat's

One night of stupidity


I remember the line from the film The 6th Sense, where the eerie kids says, “Some people only see what they want to see”. But that would never happen to me, right?
Well, Glen bought a new SatNav, or GPS, and we were looking on the internet together to find a restaurant we hadn’t been to, planning on using satellite navigation help us to get there. Glen wanted Italian, and I was craving Pilipino food, so there was some jostling to see who would get their way.
Anyway, we were amazed to find a Filipino-Italian restaurant in Horsham. Glen fiddled with his new toy, put in the coordinates, and off we went through the side streets of West Sussex. We arrived perfectly, and the GPS with is robotic sounding digital voice gave the most detailed directions. We were even early and had to wait outside for 30 minutes for it to open, so took a couple of snaps of me outside this amazingly perfect venue.
Once inside the staff were professional and the smells coming from the kitchen were great. I checked out the menu, and was a little surprised to see mostly Italian dishes. I looked again around the restaurant and saw the staff were Italian, the wine list was Italian. Huh? Where was the Pinoy food?
Then it occurred, we were at Filippo’s Italian Restaurant, the name of the owner. Oh my goodness, I had fooled myself because I so much wanted to get Filipino food. Wow, did we laugh, and feel a little embarrassed as well.
Anyway, we had a brilliant night, and Caleb was cute and so well behaved, so it all finished okay.
Secretly, I was wondering if Glen knew all along hehe. Next time I will remember him, ha-ha!

the Munsters Family


We celebrated Halloween last night, one of glen's colleague invite us for a Halloween party, so we decided that we will dress up for the party.

Halloween celebrations here in United Kingdom include parties where guests are often expected to arrive in a costume to reflect the day's theme. Some children go trick-or-treating.

This means that they dress up and go to other peoples' houses, knocking on the door for treat of sweets or a snack. Those who do not give out a treat may be tricked with a joke instead.


Glen dress so simple, but me I could hardly think what to wear on the party so I end up wearing glen's business clothes and bought a witch hat and we bought a cutie pumpkin dress for Caleb...and guess what Caleb got most of the appreciation on the night...his the winner yeyyyheeyyyy....!!!!!!!

Here's the picture guys, to see how we look like on that night....we are the Munsters family...

Caleb's Updates at 5months



It's been ages since I posted an update of my baby Caleb, will so far my baby boy is doing well.
Caleb is now 5months and 2weeks, we just started to wean him about 2weeks ago, well while were in Philippines we started to introduce him some rice, but were not sure whether he is ready to eat or his body is ready so we research and we find out that the safest the baby to have solid is when the baby is 5-6months old so waited until we arrive here in the UK.
Caleb first solid foods is Pure baby rice from Cow & Gate brand and I used to mixed it with carrots, potato, apple and broccoli, so far he loves it and really enjoy his meals all the time.
Our little boy is such a very good baby, he is now 5months but he never gives me hard time, he just sleep through all the night, I'm just the one who wake him up at night to give him some milk, Caleb just play and laugh, cry sometimes but very easy most of the time, and one thing his a very cuddly baby...

Weekend getaway...





Its been a while since I updated this blog, life here in the UK is a bit busy. We just been to a weekend holiday in the New Forest about 2hrs drive from our place.
Its a very relaxing place to stay, away from a busy life in the city, lots of wild animals big trees lakes and exciting new place.

The day we arrive we saw lots of horses eating beside the road and glen says they were wild horses, glen was able to get out in the car and touch them....ehmmm...but not me, I was so scared to touch them coz they were so big and looks wild, on our way back instead of passing the motor way, we decided to take a tour to the country side and we have a lot of fun driving in the country area and we decided to stop because nature is calling on me in short I need to pee, so we went to a pub glen had a roast beef and I had a lovely pudding....so that's how we spend our weekend..

Back to the UK

After loads of traveling, now were back in the UK. No more Kuwait, Jordan, Iraq but purely just United Kingdom a place close to my heart second to Philippines of course.
Caleb and I is enjoying the weather so far, we both like buggering around the neighborhood and even going to Tesco and to the town center which is 30minutes walk from our place, a good walk for me and a best exercise to lose these fats that stored in my body.
Well so far, that's it for now, we gonna visit a friend of glen later and have some dinner at there place, so tonight it will be roast chicken very English really.
