Travelog Day 1: Arrival

Continuing from Day 1, because USA time.

This is our view from the plane. It was drizzling in Washington DC.

Our base for the whole trip before we go on tour and after is at funny couple and cousins HS & ES! We got off at Washington DC, they picked us up from Ronald Reagan Airport (DCA) and drove us to their lovely home with a HUGE ranch in Maryland.

We were so tired from the long flight. We repacked some stuff because our tour starts next day. Temperature was 2C!! I had to cover myself with an electric blanket! LOL!!

Travelog Day 1: 23 Hour Plus Flight

DH, myself, cousin-in-law HG and MG went to East Coast for the Holy Week break without the kids. All I can say it was the longest flight I took in my entire life. 23 hours of total traveling time to finally land at Washington D.C. We took Delta, because it has the shortest flying time (23 hours still).

First transit was at Narita Airport. My first stop was the Ladies room LOL!!

High Tech!

Next we walked around the shops and saw beautiful origami paper art.

Japanese snacks so nicely packaged and wrapped.

We were hungry and had this

passed by Mc Donalds, could not believe the prices!

Then we got back up to the plane for the next 12 hours flight to New York transit to Washington DC. Right beside my seat there's a little commotion going on. One of the luggage panel was damaged by a passenger! Of course no one saw who did it, but this is the situation.. They tried to "taped" it back up, but it couldn't hold. They had to consult with the Chief Captain if flying is safe without the panel. I started praying, oh please.. I hope it's ok, because we'll miss the next connecting flight! Finally after 30 minutes delay, the flight was given a clear signal to go! Hayy Thank You Lord.

Finally I watched "The Blind Side" starred Sandra Bullock. She won Best Actress at the Oscars for this film. Very touching movie.

Zzzzzzzzzz.......

Jet Lagged

I'm back from the trip 2 nights ago but oh man.. I'm still jet lagged. It's 3am as I write now and I'm wide awake.It was one of the most fun trip too. Thank You Lord!

Will start sharing pictures soon, and do a little travelog!

Blessing

Today my Dear Son graduated from Kinder 2. This June he will be entering Grade 1.

DH, myself and my in-laws all went to his graduation. I don't know what to feel, 6 years ago he's just a baby in my arms. I remember during those sleepless nights that I had to wake up and pump milk and pondering how I wanted him to grow up faster! Now I don't want my kids to grow up 'that' fast!

He received his diploma and got awarded with 2 medals. I never imagined that he would excel in academics, not because I don't think he will, but I just want him to enjoy school. I don't force him to study but I train him to be responsible. He can play all he wants after doing his homework. DS is a reader so I'm not worried about his comprehension. My yaya is his tutor in all English and Filipino subjects! Yes I have a Yaya who's a high school grad and a scholar from her province in Ormoc! I know, she's a blessing.  I tutor him in Chinese subjects. I was floored to received the phone call from his teacher a week ago and congratulating me because DS was 1st honor in English and 2nd honor in Chinese. Yaya definitely will be rewarded as well. LOL!! My in-laws are beaming with pride :)

I'm so thankful to God, having my kids being obedient and gifted are blessings that money cannot buy.

Thank You Jesus, for blessings that exceeds my expectation. May my family continue to bring honor and glory to You for the rest of our lives.

Summer Getaway!

DH, Myself with cousins in law HG & MG are taking a break and we're heading to a cold place!! Yoooohoooo!! I can get to wear my coats, jackets, wools, trench & boots!!

For 17 days, we're going to these fabulous places..

DH & I are still debating if we are bringing our laptop or not..?! I guess we might!!

Twilight Fans! Get ready for Eclipse

Here's the trailer of Twilight Book 3 "Eclipse". Showing June 2010

Surviving 15 Km & K-Swiss Ad

I think i almost passed out this morning trying to finish my 1st 15Km at the Globe's Run For Home Race this morning. It was soooooooooo hot & humid. I'm so glad it was a well organized race with LOTS of water stations and cold water sponges. It was a pretty sosyal race LOL!! The route was different that's one motivating factor and my first time to run along Ayala Ave, going towards Greenbelt Malls, all the way to Fort, Mckinley.. Overall I had fun except for the heat.

I didn't have the camera with me, so no pictures to share, sayang!

Anyway, peeps out there who follow IronMan Races should know Terenzo Bozzone!

Here's a link from my earlier post about him. He's the Champion at the 1st Cobra IronMan 70.3 here in the Philippines last year. This month, he competed at IronMan New Zealand and finishing 2nd with an awesome time 8:30:00. My goodness, the PRO's.. they fly!! He was part of the new K-SWISS ad, shot in California which i think was so cool. In the ad, you'll see him biking & running.



I'm so happy that I'm so into sports now. I really feel healthier and I encourage all women and mothers to go into sports!

Happy weekend!
