Monday, Monday...

So good to me.
Monday, Monday
It was all I hoped it would be...


In honor of a great Monday, I'm going to post about some things that made me happy today:

* Getting to school early this morning.
* A new blow dryer.
* Finding my way to a new part of town without being stopped by a policeman! A major accomplishment for a westerner in the Philippines.
* Catching up on my laundry. No small feat!
* Cleaning my kitchen.
* Being able to help out a friend in need.
* Having kids in Sydney's & Samuel's class ask if they could come over to our house to play. It means the twins have made good friends in their new school & that is a huge relief!
* A nap this afternoon.
* Listening to Sydney sing High School Musical 2 songs in her room.
* A successful evening of homework.
* Eating dinner at The Pancake House. Sounds crazy, but they have the best tacos that I have tasted in Subic so far. And, of course, the kids inhale their waffles!
* What made it even better was that Sam was home in time to eat with us!
* Being able to sit down at the computer tonight without being interrupted.

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday as well! Enjoy the beginning of your week!

Dear Amberly,
I am so glad that you and your family are enjoying the sights and sounds- of Subic Bay! Art was stationed there whilehe was in the Navy & he still talks about it! He really loves the philippines and the sweet people - and he & I just love their food. but -BOY-O-BOY- is it hard to find good PHILIPPINE food here in San Antonio, Tx.

Love to all from -TEXAS

LOVE,
AUNT JUDY

Pancakes!!!

Filipinos love pancakes.
They have different version of Pancakes in every island. The one I like the best is Cebu pancake.
It is yellow and almost taste like a Crepe. Have you tried eating Halo Halo it is crush ice with flan and different kinds of beans in it.

Try The Le-chon (Roasted Pig) I know you will like it because it taste so good plenty in Olangapo. It's the same you cook Pig in Texas

Try This Filipino barbecue.
