Hi there fellow bloggers! It’s been a while since I haven’t updated my blog, well it’s because e just got back from our camping last weekend and so busy fixing things around the house and putting back again the camping stuff in the garage. It is not was not so easy for us to go on a tent camping since only me and my hubby are doing the tent. Were almost getting grumpy, we arrived at the campsite quite dark and we still have to set up the tent, but we still managed to set it up before our temper blow up. At first night, I and my stepson were a little bit scared, we heard some footsteps outside our tent, and we thought it’s a bear but it is not, gosh! We just don’t know what to do if the bear will go to attack our tent. It was chilly in the morning so we put a fire on the fire pit and seat in our lounge chair and enjoying watching fire. It was so relaxing just sitting and kicking back around, reading books, playing card and walking in the beach with our puppy Roxie. I also able to see a chipmunks in our camp, he is so cute and was looking for a food, called him Theodore from the movie "Alvin and the Chipmunks".The Second day of our camping we went boating and the view was so spectacular! We did not able to swim in the lake coz it's so cold and a little windy that day, so we just enjoyed viewing the sight around the lake and see some houses. We definitely go back to camp again before the summer ends.

Summer Camping
Today we are preparing the stuff for our camping next weekend. We got tent, airbed mattresses, sleeping bags, chairs, lanterns, flashlights, mini-fan, stove, ice chests and more. I was laughing because i remembered my first camping/trail in the Pinas. It was really different because here in the US camping is still luxury and comfy while my experienced in Pinas, we had only tent, canned foods and a backpack.

Soulmate....Destiny
When i was a teenager i always heard or read the word soulmate in every person who is looking for somebody. I was kind of curious and confuse of what really soulmate means. Even if my friends explained it to me i cannot still understand what does it really means for a person so i just said it to myself that maybe when the right time comes.
Destiny...Its the word that i was really confuse..maybe? Does people make his own destiny? I heard so many definitions and everyone has its own beliefs,. We as human is already pre-destined of something to happen in our life.
Some people commit mistakes because of the path that they chose to take or the decision that they make. There are also people who just wait and let fate lead them.

Filipino Dishes on the table
The First time i ever cooked as much as these. T'was so tiring but worthy after the appreciation i heard from my family here. My brother-in law likes the "lumpia" so much and requested that i will cook everytime he will come for a visit. Tuna Kinilaw was one of the dishes i made too and was so surprised that his GF who happened a Mexican told that Tuna Kinilaw is like as "Ceviche" in Mexican dish. I also discovered that kinilaw is also good for tortilla chips.
I also had Nilagang Baka w/ Bokchoy & Chayote and Sotanghon or Mung BEan STir Fry. My stepson had his first taste of Nilagang Baka and we were happy that he tried it. It was an effort for a kid to try a new food and i really appreciated it.

Life in the USA
They say that living in the land of milk and honey is the greatest opportunity to live with…which is really true.
When I was still in the
Philippinesand waiting for my fiancĂ© visa I was wondering if I can adjust myself so easily to the culture… I used to be surrounded by friends, family and relatives; I used to go by on my own if I felt bored at home. I have so many people whom I can talk to anytime I want and can even go to a friend’s house…but those were changed since I arrived here in
Californiawith my loving husband. Everything has changed the way I live here.
The first week I arrived here was really exciting; I enjoyed the view, its clean and most of all no dirt roads. We had our first dinner on the way home from
San Francisco
Airportat Black Bear Restaurant, one of my hubby’s favorite restaurants. I remembered I ordered a steak (medium well) and it comes with a mashed potato, when our food arrived I was so shock to see the huge platter being served by us, it can feed three people just in one order I have, my eyes got big and was thinking how I going to eat those foods! Here in America everything is huge, even people…and that’s because of the foods that we ate. American people are used of wasting foods and I was kind of guilty coz I know that in some part of the country there are people who doesn’t have foods to eat, but that’s the reality…its their consolation of having a hard work. They lived very comfortably and have nice houses… but beyond all those there are some people whom we called “homeless” people that live on a street, begging foods and money.
I am here for six months already and have a lot of changes happened in my life. Before I was thinking how it will be to live in a nice and comfortable house, sleeping in a nice and soft bed. Having so many foods and can do whatever I want to do. Now it answered my wandering. Yes it is so nice to live in such comfortable house and sleeping on a very comfortable bed. While I am here I am thinking of my family way back and wishing that I can share to them what I am having here in
America.
