Spare me the counting part but I do know that I have been here for three months and two days. I just wanna make it a hundred. Yeah, I don’t know basically what to write about. How am I? Oh, haven’t really touched on that yet since I get the chance of talking to my Sweetest mostly everyday to keep us both sane. Everyday is just like every other days. Nothing much. Nothing more. Just me and the laptop and the world wide web tours I do for almost the …

This is a late post. Actual date of this event was November 12, 2009 - When Auntie Glenda and her friend Jenny had a vacation here in Las Vegas.
I want to share to you all my M & M’s World experience. It was like waking up in a chocolate colored world - four floors of chocolate heaven, it is.
With your first steps you’ll immediately feel the energy of their bright colors and lively music. On the first floor, you can choose from a variety customize charms, pendants, souvenir cups, plates, …

What a perfect cool day to head off to one of the country’s known tourist (and locals alike) destination. The snow-capped mountain is about 30-mile drive from where we reside. We got up early and hit the road by 7AM. We got there in an hour or so, it was indeed a breathtaking view seeing the mountains and trees from being 8000 ft. above ground. It was like seeing a view from a movie like my favorite Lord of the Rings where you see great vast lands. I …

The first second, first minute, first hour of 2010 is celebrated with my family and my first degree cousins! HAHA! Hurray! We were all so noisy and excited to see everyone united in one conference… ^^

Here’s Tabby and Yzzy greeting Auntie Mendeth and Nikko. Nice bonnet you have there Yzzy! Baby in red for 2010!

Now here’s Hresil:

Now here’s a toast to a successful year!

Auntie Joy is multi-tasking here! Eating and typing! Hahaha.

Look at my little one! Loves to join in the fun!

Whoa! I’m so blank for words yet I have a lot to thank God for. 2009 wasn’t really a very very happy one yet it is indeed meaningful and full of heartfelt sacrifices and ofcourse, triumph. 2009, the year that was. In fact, it is the year we got to experience some once in a lifetime (I hope) experiences - typhoon Ketsana “Ondoy” and the heavy rains of typhoon Parma “Pepeng”. Who could ever forget the cause of the triggering massive flooding and landslides …

It’s the 25th of December.

It just seems to be like yesterday when we had our first Christmas as a family of 3 - Tabby, me, and our new born Yzzy. Today, we celebrate Christmas somehow differently. Christmas on the webcam. Nothing beats seeing Yzzy smile and be so enthusiastic in front of the cam. It really makes me want to physically hug her. They’re going to Tabby’s mom’s place tonight to celebrate Christmas like last year. These screen shots were taken just before they would pack up ad leave.

The family prepared this …

Happy thanksgiving America! My Dad actually was given a free turkey by the company he works in. He got to claim it around three days before Thanksgiving. We had to place the turkey in the lower part of the refrigerator (because it was way frozen) for 2 days before Thanksgiving Day. So this is how a turkey looks like! I couldn’t even bare to touch it. I can hold any other chicken or meat when I’m doing the cooking - but this one made me very nauseous! …

This is a spontaneous trip! My dad wanted to bring us to a fun place but we didn’t think it was going to be this far. So at 3AM we were on the road with some travel food and water for “survival”. I’m exaggerating though! It was a long drive, roughly about 300 miles. We were just in time when we arrived. Universal Studios open at 9AM.

Here are our very excited and happy photos categorized! Breakfast Time - We’re here at the only restaurant that’s open at this hour …

Wow! Relatives! I was dying to know if we had any relatives near our place - same state that is. And yes, we have Daddy’s cousin, Uncle Silverio “Nonoy” Daguman and his wife Auntie Meilan Daguman plus their two beautiful and handsome kids - Eugene and Emily. More than that, we now have language buddies!

This tram takes you to the other side of the building. Might as well use this one than walking a lot! See the view? Pretty nice.

I needed a Microsoft XP Operating System to get the laptop working! Thank God Daddy bought me one. It cost him a hundred bucks! Now I’m so glad I’ll have my webcam moments with Yzzy and Tabby in a while!

After years and years of waiting…We finally arrived safely in Las Vegas to be with our Dad. *Sob* I maybe in the state of in-denial but hey, for all that the family has been through throughout the years - this is really making a lot of emotions circling in me.  I know God has plans for each one of us and those plans unfold during times when we least expect it. I have just been to the lowest (so far) and highest point of my life, and being here as …
