My dad is very weak now. We cannot let him walk alone because he quickly falls asleep and looses his balance.

8 july 2009
Somehow my body clock has adjusted. Things accomplished today:
1. Give Dr. Padlan the perfume he asked me to buy.
2. Go to Lafarge to give meg the rest of her pasalubong, and get from her some important documents I needed.
3. Go to Canadian Opportunities to submit the documents needed for our application.
4. Go back to Lafarge. (below is me and norie!! Too bad I didn’t have a picture with the whole marketing team. I came back late, they were finished with their afternoon break and they were already back to work. I just had a quick snack there because my brother called me up and told me I needed to go home immediately because my dad wants me in batangas asap. So just a quick chat with norie, one photo and I went home.

That night my brother drove me and the kids to batangas. My parents were waiting and my dad was glad to see us all…now we are really home.

Woke up very late – almost lunch time! Ate lunch then started unpacking to get all the ‘pasalubongs’ out. Spent the whole afternoon for that. Right after dinner, Rafael, isabelle and me went to the salon to have our hairs cut. I need a new look before the rest of the world sees me!!!!

6 july 2009
00 :45 paris time and 6 :45 philippines time… currently on the plane still awake and filling out these forms. i have to fill out 3 forms per person and we are 4 persons travelling… 12 forms all in all. Grrrrrr!!!!!!!!! I don’t like this!!!

8:20 local time…landed.
9:16 waiting at the arrival area for my brother to pick us up. Really tired…

so after a couple of minutes my brother arrived and it was a short trip to my sister’s place in makati. It felt so nice to be back in the philippines!!! But the weather wasn’t really that nice because it is too hot!!! Anyway, after resting for a bit, me and my niece jake went to the grocery store some needed stuff for me and the kids. When I got back to my sister’s house, meg came and picked up the stuff I bought for her. It was almost dinner, bing ( a very good friend from college) called and reminded me they were waiting at the restaurant. Gosh!!! I forgot I had a dinner appointment with my college friends! I rushed there. They were done eating when I arrived. I still ate a bit then we had dessert in another restaurant. Then I had to hurry back home to pick up the rest of the kids (only isabelle went with me to meet my friends) to go to my in-laws house. This was already around 10:00 pm. Bing’s driver was kind enough to drive us to my in-laws’ house. Got there around 11:00pm. We ate there (again!). we left around 2am. We had one long day…. We didn’t sleep right away when we got to my sister’s house because it was only 7pm paris time. But a little past 3 am, we were all tired and fell asleep….
