awesome weekend

Here are some pictures from last weekend. It was such a nice day! and by nice I mean the sun was shining but I could still feel the breeze. Thanks to my sister in law for giving me her hat. speaking of the hat, I am not really a hat person but when i tried it on i told myself, "it's not that bad. in fact, i think it looks nice". so off i went wearing the hat. I think i might even wear it more often now. 

To camping we will go...

This weekend we went on my first camping trip here. I was so excited because the last time my husband and I went camping was when he first visited me in the Philippines. The weather was in the 30 ++ degrees and everyone complained but still had so much fun. We set up the tents (or at least the men did) and ate and drink and chatted. I'd have to say my new favorite drink would be apple juice plus coconut rum!

^^tents set and hammock set up

^^Dad enjoying his time

Too bad we weren't allowed to build a fire for safety reasons so we weren't able to roast hotdogs and marshmallows for smores. 

^^ a band played and we watched until they're done. had fun dancing and chatting and drinking

^^ following morning my husband still looking asleep in the picture... :)

It's early in the morning...

and I am writing a blog post... hurray!!!

It is 1:46 in the morning, to be exact. Tried sleeping but my mind just kept wandering and I ended up in front of the computer. I figured this is a good time to do a blog post because (1) I haven't had an update in the past days and (2) i find that i work better under a quieter environment.

Well look what we have here. I got this one shoulder top at Joe Fresh (I love that store) for under $5! Even though it's black, it's still perfect for the summer for me. I can either dress it up or down. 

Most of the time when I write a post I end up having a brain fart. I don't know what to say, what to share, what to write about. Maybe I am just not as gifted as some people when it comes to writing - but hey, does  getting a "Best in Journalism" award count? So yeah, I feel like I am too conscious on whether I am sharing too much already and I end up filtering a lot of things. The solution? Well I am not sure yet. Maybe I shouldn't over think, as I most of the time do. Like what I am doing now - just letting all the thoughts flow from my mind to my fingers typing every word. 

So yeah, back to summer. I am glad to be experiencing 30 degree weather these days. Reminds me a lot of the Philippines. You that it's warm but not that warm type of day? I love it. My husband, however, doesn't like the heat. I am still amazed at how he survived one month of heat in the Philippines. I guess that's what love can do. 

^^Hope I can sleep better after I write this. Goodnight!

Oh Canada!

Today is Canada Day. 

My first time ever to celebrate it. 

It's not as famous as the US' 4th of July but it's something that Canadians take very much into heart. I am in awe that despite the fact that Canada is a huge country, the country has managed to instill and maintain nationalism among its people. 

There are a number of activities prepared in our area. Regrettably, we won't be able to attend because we have to work today. We can, however, still celebrate in spirit, right?

Happy Canada Day!
