Did they really say that?

Me: Vince, we should enroll you in karate. It will be good for you. You know, for self defense.
Vince: Why would I need that? I can use a gun or a knife.


Aguuy, anak jud ka ug sundalo oi!

Vince: Mama, are we rich?
Me: Yes...rich in love, my dear!
Vince: What?????!!!!!! 


He had a very funny smirk on his face. Bida jud ning bataa.

Jumping on to bed, getting ready to sleep..


Rafa: I want to sleep here. (Squeezing himself between his papa and me)
Me: No, no! I can't sleep without Papa beside me. (Nag-inarte lang ko to see his reaction)
Rafa: (Hugging me) It's alright, Mama. You can sleep now. 

Australia Day 2012

Pouring rain cancelled our plans to go fishing in Kiama today. Instead, we were stuck at home, watching tv and surfing the web. Bummer!

So as not to totally miss out on the celebrations, the hubby grilled sausages and beef patties indoors, plopped them into burger buns and added cheese, lettuce and bbq sauce. Not that bad.

We watched the celebrations in Canberra on tv and I couldn't help but tear up during the citizenship ceremony. Bittersweet. We will be doing ours this year and I often wonder how that will make me feel.

Julia Gillard, Australian Prime Minister, said it very well in her address to the new Aussies," For whatever is left behind, there is so much more to be gained."

Bring it on 2012! :)

Hammock na Di Hamak

Excuse my title. That's the first thing that came to mind while writing this :)

This being summer and with temperatures just right (still feels like spring), we've been taking every chance we get to go out. 

And wherever we go, the hubby never forgets to pop into the car's trunk two hammocks. 

In December, on our way to the Hunter Valley, we stopped over for bbq lunch at The Entrance and took a short nap. Yes, on the hammocks, where else?

Note that one of the hammocks is in camu, obviously he misses his days in the military. Hhhhmnnn, not!
