Salmon

Alaska is soo abundant of salmon. When we were there last summer, I just enjoyed the fishing everyday. Although my arms got soo sore at night from fishing but I still love to fish everyday. I just couldn't get enough of fishing. It was so fun catching those big salmons. I then started to like salmon that I never have eat before in my life.

I also enjoyed meeting my new relatives, some of them doesnt know to fish though but they love to eat salmon. Well,, its not a problem because I can fish their salmon for them.

It was so fun, eating around the big table with full of people (relatives). I felt more hungry if there are alot of people.. hehe. One time my sister in law asked my hubby what he wanted to eat? And he said he want bread, so I said" Why have bread when you can have a salmon? Am like hey this is alaska so abundant of salmon and we had so many salmon in freezer. So, lets eat it, its free!!

We had so much fun over there in Alaska, I also enjoyed the sceneric view. Hopefully we can come back this summer.

Love my Country

I grew up in one of the little islands in the Philippines. Although poor but no known problems back there. People there were just happy and satisfied with thier lifestyle (dont know any better life) but im still so proud with that island because, I learned alot of hard times over there.

Eventhough we're so poor but my parents managed to put us in school to do better in the future. In fact I think many people there were jelous to my parents because they were able to put us to school eventhough were just belong to the poorest people in the world. But, we had this good heart that whoever graduated and have a job will put the next younger ones to school too. So my parents didnt pay for everything. Im so proud with my older brother and sisters too. I just feel thier love for me. We feel love for each other. But anyway, at the age of around 13 or 14 I moved in to the city which another island but way bigger, to proceed my study and have more opportunity in the city than back in the island were I grew up.

Me and my family had commitment to help each other specially our parents. My parents are not helpless but we want them to enjoy life since they are getting older. Thats what I've always dream about, for my parents since I was little girl. And im glad that my older sisters and brother are doing better since they moved in to the city. Except for my oldest sister and brother in law who choosed to be a voluntary missionary of Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement (SDARM). They used to have small business and my sister had a good job but they quit eveything because they had to work saturday. Instead, they choose to be a voluntary missionary. They are very special people in my family. And im sure God is very happy of what they are doing. They have been doing this for so many years now eventhough not financially abundant but God didnt let them totally down.

Anyways, Im so proud about my country even it is just poor country but WE ARE SURVIVORS!! no one can beat that. Here is a picture of one of the island that I took when we were headed to Bohol island. I love the white beach even if this is not fully developed island.





PS: I also adore the US with its amazing nature!!!

Friend's Gift

Back in the Philippines, I met my friend named Milany and handed her the stuff she wanted from the US. She was very happy with it because according to her that she couldn't find those vitamins for her baby there in the Philippines. And she was happy of what she got for herself too because it was too cheap compare if she just buy it there. Because of course we didnt charge for the shipping and handling...lol. Just the original price.. she even got some discount for we bought it with discount.

She wanted to see me again before we fly back to the US, because she wanted to give me something. And really thought that she will give me some dried fish for thats what she was always asked me if eat alot of dried fish over here but I told her that I can buy in Filipino Store in the City. And she still kept telling me that she will give me something that why she wants to meet me again. But we got busy and so is she. And on the very last day she told me to just pick it up on the way to the aiport. And so, I got her gift for me. I had no time to look at it since she stapled it good.

When I got here in the US I was excited to see whats inside the paperbag. And when I opened it, I was really surprised because she give me some good dried fruits in a little package. I am soo happy of what she gave me. It really means alot to me and to out friendship. So, I thanked her right after she handed it to me and thanked her again when I saw whats inside. ANd she thanked me too for not changing our frienship. Friendship is the most important thing.

Jetlog

We had such a long flight, for we had 12 hrs laid over in Korea and 5 hrs in Seattle. Unlike last year that we just had 2hrs apart for every next flight. But felt like it was more tired than this time, because we got here in the morning, and had to stay awake till evening. But, I didnt get any jetlog though. But this time I obviously got jetlog because I was awake since 12midnight. And just cant go back to sleep. But in the Philippines we didnt have any jetlog at all. My husband is the same thing. He got up around 2am and cook some foods for today. And I finally got up for Im getting hungry trying to fall back to sleep.

Hoping to get over this very very soon.

Flight Story

I would say that we had a good flight because we made it here at home. Hehehe. But there are somethings that disappoint my hubby in the airplane. Because on our 4 and 1/2 hrs flight from Cebu to Korea, they serve meal but then for some reason everybody was eating but us. And then I told my husband that maybe they only feed the Koreans. Then the guy who served the drink asked us if dont we want breakfast? Then hubby told him like "I guess they dont want to feed us". So the guy went back and tell somebody. Hhhmm,, was thinking if it was discremanation or what? They finally feed us and apologized for the late meal.
In Korea, we had 12hrs lay over. So, we spent those hours in the hotel. We didnt understand the money over there, sounds so much but we had somebody converted it into dollars. Then I realized that its just like the Philippines, sounds off alot but then it cost few bucks only. But it still expensive since its in the airport, everything is expensive.
Was so glad when the plane landed in Seattle WA because the long flight was over, but had to wait 5hrs for out next 40minutes flight. I felt like its been so long since I slept but its not too bad at all compare to last time.
Well,, glad to back in the US but sad again to be away from my dear family. But that's life is. Looking forward to see them next year again and stay much much longer.
For my family, "I Love and Miss You so much guys keep doing what you doing now for Jesus, because He will be always watching us! ".

Going back to the US

Hahay! im soo sad at this moment because tonight is our flight going back to the US, for the month vacation is up. Which im not ready yet. When I think about being away from my family again, it makes me soo sad and cant help myself to cry, but I understand that that's life is, (pagkapait gayud...). But I have to be positive, thats my family always tells me. Since I am married to an American I must be strong, not to let this sad emotions eat me. The most famous word when my family and friends see me is " you are so skinny". Which I do believe that being in different world is one of the reason why I got so skinny. No matter how much I eat, I just dont gain any weight, which is a good thing.

Im gonna miss this hot weather in the Philippines because at this time it is soo COLD in our place. I need to adjust the weather again. But I didnt have any problem with the climate here in the Philippines eventhough I been through cold moments in the US but im still a Filipino. But, the other day when we went to Bohol I got runny nose, cough and headache also sinusitis attacked which was really bad. Cant look at the brightness outside. But I feel alot better now though, and my husband is now the one who dont feel really good which is too bad because we are going to have a long long flight back to the US.
