lots

lots to say but no time to write.. and when i finally find the time, i got nothing to say or no longer inspired to jot it down..

life is really fun although sometimes it sucks and that's how it goes here in our new-found-land.

finally..

Yeah, finally I'm beginning to get my grip to this new country we now call our home..

I just got back from the gym and shed 198 calories for a 30-min work-out in my favorite thread mill plus another 20 minutes in a row. I used to jog when we were in CHINA and i could reach over 3 miles jogging my trail along the neighborhood. I was not able to do it here when we first arrived. For many reasons such as getting a job, finding a home and now that everything is in place, i guess i gotta start with my old routine.. I am happy now that we are finally settled in the best home we could start with and finally having the jobs we highly hoped to have. God is so good.

Maraming Salamat Po.

SQ 1, Grants before 2010..!

On my way to SQUARE 1. It's the biggest Mall here in Mississauga. I need to get some stuff for our friends.

Then off to Grants. It's one of the known chinese/vietnamese grocery chains nearby selling almost all the household needs. All nationalities can pick and buy their foods there noting that they sell even the most exotic type of foods. Good thing that they even carry Filipino stuffs especially our favourite "BAGOONG" and "CHICHARON"..

I'll gonna be there to buy additional stuff for our POT LUCK tonight..
6 kgs of of chicken breast
1 kg. chicken liver
1 box of yoghurt (original)
1 2% fresh milk
olive oil
MSG

Guess what menu we could cook with that..?

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERY ONE!!

Belated Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year to one and all!!

I haven't been to this site lately.. soooooo many things had happened since my last up-date.. most of them were terribly exciting yet i failed to jot it here.. i guess Facebook really won the hearts of the idle minds like mine.. hehe..

Anyway, so how was Christmas everyone?

We though we'll gonna have a white Christmas. It should be because we were actually anticipating a white one even before we migrated here. It turned out a rainy Christmas yet happy to say it became a really colorful one.. We celebrated it in our niece and nephews' home in Dundas West. And yes, our jaws ached due to so much fun and laughter..








Good food, heart-warming people, gift giving and anecdotes of the past really made the best Christmas ever..!! We're really blessed and we couldn't ask for more..

family in canada

photo of our family here in canada. we're getting bigger and happier..!

biking around

i woke up quite late this morning. got nothing to do.. it's my day off so i decided to bike around bristol road and gone out to see the place. biking from bristol to its major intersection in hurontario gave me a break from it all.. such fun.. canada has offered us such clean and invigorating environment.

hubby has been transferred to a much better post, he's now gonna work from 7am to 3pm everyday which means there are more time seeing each other finally.. two sons shall work in their usual grave shifts and they're happy about it. they don't sleep at night though.

daughter is enrolled but we still has to wait for the principal's call to confirm her class schedule. she only has to take 4 subjects during the first semester and another four later before she graduate.

happy and relaxed.. nice, huh?

changes

just the address though. we'll be moving to applewood at the park on october 1st! whoa, we're all excited....

part of the changes is that my day off will be today and tommorow instead of the usual tuesdays alone.. but only for this week.. :(

the reason is because i have to enroll our daughter to St Francis Xavier Catholic School. Yup, she got to go back to high school and complete the 8 remaining units not offered from her previous schools in china..

gotta go now.. miss you all!

see you later tonight.
