So long, le Père!!

My husband fondly called him Paps, and not very long ago he welcomed me to their family. I was a bit intimidated, oops, really intimidated when we first met--it was in my sister-in-law's wedding, but I guess it was just normal to have felt that way besides I am a terribly quiet person. Anyway, le Père( father) has been pleasant with me and when I first mentionned to hubby that the first hair cut of baby K should be done by someone intelligent(they say that the child will inherit the same trait from that person), he wanted his Paps to do that. And on that historical day, he was ready to do the job with loads of scissors beside him. He hadn't made up his mind which pair to use and then after choosing his instrument, with steady movement he begun to cut the hair of his youngest grandchild. It was an emotional moment for the whole family. Something we will always remember. Then, just a week ago we bid him goodbye, we have lost the pillar of the family, but in the front row, 7 of his legacy were present. Au revoir, le Père!

Thank you, my dear sister-in-law, for your testimony, and thank you for your sweet and quiet presence during these sad weeks when we saw le Père becoming more and more sick and then die.
I'm happy to have you in the family.

Before your paps left, he did a memorable and significant moment with your his grand son. That's bitter sweet..

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...

Imortal invades my home

A special thanks to My CHOS for letting me use the above photo. Just click on the photo to see more of John Lloyd and Angel Locsin. Recently, I have been smiling a lot because of John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin. This is after I have discovered Imortal one fine afternoon when the girls were having their nap and Nanay was having her quiet moment. Many viewers have compared the series to Twilight which I haven't seen yet. Yes, I might be the only soul who has not seen the film though I &hearts Robert Pattinson's eyes. Maybe soon, when I've got the time. Anyway, back to Imortal and John Lloyd Cruz--yes, this is my new fave tv series. I look forward every night for my girls to go to bed so that I can watch Imortal in peace. There are times when I just watch a week of the series on Fridays. This saves me time and I got to do something else. There's only one thing which frustrates me--nobody to share my "kilig Imortal" moments with. Now,please excuse me if I...

Vacation over

It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again. Now, I'm lazily doing my chores and still hoping that my mug of coffee will take effect soon. How do you get back to normal routine after weeks of vacation?
