My Passion>>>Traveling to different places in France

I do like traveling. To travel means that money is also involved. France is one of the most beautiful countries I like most aside from my own country. It is a rich country known for the quality champagne and wine production. I do like their chocolates and food as well. Several delicious choco makers I tasted are Lenotre, Hediard and many others I need to recall. Well, we all know that  expensive perfumes, bags, clothes and other accessories are France's unbeatable pride.

Speaking of traveling, everytime I heard that a group of Filipinos intend to go to another place I always told  them to count me in. Starting from the south, I can recall the trips. I and 2 friends went to Corsica for summer nanny job. Corsica is an island in the south of France but it is more close to Italy by distance. People there speak both Italian and French.

Another place in the south I went to were Nice and Cannes. Really awesome! I went there with my bosses together with a friend. My boss gave us the chance to attend  the Cannes Film festival which was on going by that time we had the summer break. It was a privilege to go there come to think that those attendees were rich, famous, celebrities and dignitaries..

Another place I admired is Lourdes which is located in south western France and bordering with Portugal I guess. It is a unique place having the cave for underground travel exploration and a mount to climb either by foot or by a train.

Another place I didn't forget is Normandy that is known for Dday. And going farther north is the Eurodisney.Wow! Everything there is expensive but it was fun and great experience to be there, riding with all those rides the theme park could offer.

France is also rich for historical land marks like that of Eiffel Tower. It was awesome to reach the top most of the tower, watching the beautiful sceneries of the city of Paris and as far as the eyes could see. After the Eiffel Tower, there was also the Bateau Mousse, which is another fun ride to experience.

I was also indeed happy to go and have some mallings and strolling in La Defense. Another place that is good to see is the Pyramid.....Wow I just realized that I have lots of places I went to, and it is only now I made the counting. Thank God for the sweet memories I experienced in this beautiful country of France.

It's more fun in the Philippines

Just I noticed nowadays that there are a lot of mix-raced marriages in our municipality. They are building big beautiful, modern houses that make the community obvious of its changes. I just wonder why those foreigners prefer to stay or live in our country when in fact theirs are more advanced and their governments are far better than ours. Philippines was ruined economically by the previous corrupt government officials.

There are many places here to go to have some funs.We have the San Fabian Beach. This is the nearest beach and a place where the common people can go to have some funs  in swimming and jet skiing.

The other beach is Tondaligan Beach in Dagupan city. A city after San Fabian.The beach has beautiful sand and nice to go along for strolling.
The Lingayen Gulf is also another beach to go.It is a very clean beach with free cottages there.There are also small stores allocated by the government  to sell some street foods.
The other pride of Pangasinan is the cluster of 100 islands and islets. The sand there is as clear as crystal and the water is very clear and clean. I just enjoyed and cherished the trip there. I want to go back but I just don't know as to when?

Our family re-union

Waking up at 3 a.m is too early for me.Anyway,just only once in awhile sacrifice.I,together with my mother,my nephew and my niece prepared to go to Manila at NAIA to fetch my sister and her French fiance.They came to take their 2012 summer vacation here in the Philippines.Normally, my sister is taking up the vacation in December or February.But for the first time after being a resident in France for 30 years,she came over during Lenten season.

It was 4:30 pm when they were able to exit from the airport.Bernard was too excited to come to the Philippines for the third time.After one hour, the sky was becoming dark so we needed to board the van we rented. We must  get home before midnight.The excitement of Bernard was changed into irritation due to the heavy traffic besides the hot temperature in Manila.The agony was added when the driver missed the right way going the the North Luzon Express way.We roamed around the circle in a heavy traffic in Manila before the driver got the right way.

My sister's stay was  tremendous blessings for us.She always thought of our get together during their less than a month's stay on here.She and Bernard arranged our going to the beach in San Fabian,Pangasinan.We just enjoyed the boating and playing in the salty water.The following Sunday, she invited her former classmates.It was fun eating and mingling with them.The most fun out of it was the opportunity for us to eat together.Then another instant decision was our family trip to Baguio.The van we rented roamed around the city and the last stop was SM Mall.They need to buy some souvenirs they need to give to their friends.At 5 pm, the van just slowly passing again to the Kennon Road, only this time was descending on our way home.I treasure all these opportunities of having funs,trips,bonding and eating together.Very rare opportunities that God had given to us.Now they are just good memories but I still do believe that they will come back again next year together with my niece Stephanie to spend another vacation .Thank you Lord for giving us all these chances and blessings.
