Sept 4 to 18, 2007

Went here, Jervis Bay. parang Pagudpod!

Asked my brother to take this picture, produkto ng sobrang inggit sa mga pre-nup shots na nakikita ko. Hehehehe!

And here, Blue Mountains, parang Baguio!

It really is unbelievably blue from afar, as in tina blue! Sayang I wasn’t able to take a pic of it at it’s bluest.
and then here, Berry — parang Intramuros!

But I had to be here.

Needed to have the most touristy picture of all :

otherwise, walang maniniwalang nakapunta ko sa Sydney!

Beautiful country. Clean and fresh, booger-free for two weeks! hahahaha!

I was here a couple of weeks back to visit my brothers and their families.
May as well take the chance and met up with some new clients and past clients. Missed Autumn and Eric and Desie lang. Sobrang kainis. Bitin ang two weeks.
Checked out the bridal scene. It’s more exciting here! hehehe!
Took some lectures on bridal preservation. My gratitude to Ms. K of Preservation Australia for the one-on-one.

It was a very hectic two weeks, but it was so well worth it.
Missed my kids though, hirap pala.
Sobrang taas tuloy bigla ng respeto at paghanga ko sa mga OFWS.
Laki ng phone bills ko 🙁
More pics.
With brothers and sisters-in-law

my nephews,

Taught the older one to play patintero even if he can barely say it, we played at the beach with my siblings and their wives, napagod na siya eh wala pa nga kami sa tumbang preso!
My nephew’s comment – “can’t wait to teach this to my classmates!” pa-soccer soccer kasi siya eh, gawin ka ngang patotot! We had so much fun!! Ayan, na-miss ko na ulit sila 🙁

My only regret – I should have brought winter clothes!!
Ang lamig! Maginaw! I really am a tropical animal.

When I went to a bridal fair, I found the common greeting is about the weather that day.
“Fine weather today, ey? Sun’s out”
okay na raw yun eh parang Tagaytay pa sa madaling araw!! Pinoys don’t really do that, I realized that the weather here is always good and comfortable. Even with occassional typhoons. I love the tropics!

But I must admit, I got excited at the thought of dressing up for winter. The flabs didn’t matter because there’s too much cover, you can barely see it. ang sarap sana pumorma 🙁

I swear babalik ako next year, at their coldest, with a vengeance.
makapag-ukay nga hahaha!
