WEEK 25: 15 - 18 june 2009

18 june 2009
early this morning as i finished watering the plants, i took some pictures of the beautiful flowers! i couldn't believe i have kept them alive this long. i really haven't taken care of plants this long. these plants were given to my by the Carmelite nuns we visit in st. maur (still a place in france) every now and then. i will be sending them these pictures.

when i picked up the kids from school, rafael immediately showed me his test results (controle). perfect scores!! before our arrangement was a book for every perfect score or every 'A' on his report card. but since he has completed the collection, we agreed that i would just give him 1 euro. i gave him a jar where he can put the money he earns. and the condition is that he is not to use the money without letting me know. it has to be spent for important things... or he can just keep it til we can open up his account in the bank. i am so proud of rafael...
(after this photo, he complained why i needed to take a photo of him with his test papers...sigh. i wanted to take a couple of photos but never get the chance. fine... just one photo).

we went to our family doctor for our medical examination. while i was busy filling up forms, i was wondering why sofia was quite...then i turned and saw her 'reading' some books. i took a quick shot of her! then right after i took the picture, she started running around!! gosh... did i ruin her concentration??? so much for quite and peaceful moment...

our philippine embassy!! it is just a couple of blocks away from our house. i went there to get some needed documents and i thought of taking a picture of it!


15 june 2009
monday...monday...monday! another week ahead.
another motorcycle photo for me! i just think this one is 'odd'...or rather 'different' and at the same time 'interesting'. i don't know if they wan to be a one-seater 2-wheeled car or a covered-bike! well, it is bmw so i guess it is good.... but a little weird....
