My grandchildren

I'm 49 years of age and I already have six grand children. My first grandchild is:
Jan Andrei. He is ten years old. He loves to draw and sing. He has won many medals in drawing competitions. And lastly he sang  for his sister's 7th birthday celebration and it made me cry of joy and I'm really proud of him. He really loves me  and of course I love him too. He was the one who got all my attention first. He looks like his daddy and his daddy says his son looks like me. Well, what do you think?
This is my eldest son and he is Jan Adrei's father. I believe it is " like father like son". No matter what, I loved them both. My first child and my first grandchild. My eldest son is a very hardworking person and I'm very proud of what he accomplished in life. Thanks be to God.

This is candice, my second grandchild and Jan Andrei's sister. She was born on her father's birthday, so she is really a daddys girl. She loves to dance and she is doing very well in school. This picture was taken when I went there last august 2011. She is one my princesses that I love.



This is my third grandchild and his name is Zimon. He is six years old and the son of my second daughter! He is a very lively boy and always on the go. Maybe like me! He he. His mother is always concerned about him coz he is often sick. But thanks God, he is still going strong. He loves fish and has a little aquarium full of fish that there is no much space for the fishes to swim around. He is the comedian in the family :)
This is chelsea, my second daughter . I was constanly worried about her too when  was young coz she too was always sick. But thanks God, she grows up and  is now a mother too and doing her best to take care of her family. She has a heart of gold and is always trying to help everybody in the best way she can! 



Me and Zyrish! She is one of my princesses and Zimon youngest sister. This girl loves to pray and she really prays for everybody. She prayed that God would also help her in school, coz she wants to make her mommy happy. And God answered her prayer and everybody were surprised! She is very sweet girl and a have a heart of gold too!
This is my fifth grandchild and the son of my youngest daughter in the Philippines. We are feeding the fishes,  and as long as they are in the water, they are safe in Ethans hands. Coz this boy thinks that he can play with everything. When I'm with Ethan I don't need to go to a training studio, coz he wants to play with me whole the day. He he. And he loves to swim. His parents is always taking him to the pool or a beach when there is an opportuninty.


My daughter Michelle and she is Ethan's mother. Michelle is a very organized woman and she is the one who arranges all our out of town trips everytime I'm on vacation in the Philippines. I don't have to worry about anything when I'm with her. She cooks delicious meals for me too.


Me and my three children in the Philippines together with Ethan and zyrish!


This is my youngest grandchild. She is my eldest son youngest daughter. She is adorable! She is my princess too!
Well, the story does not end here!  Until next time :)

Gods creation!

One day I went for a walk nearby. I lived by the seaside and there is always fresh air to breath. And I cannot help it, but to be thankful for this beautiful creation of God that surrounds me.

I'm so lucky to be in this place and see  His marvelous creation. To see the different colors in spring, summer, autum and winter.

It made me think that as God creation, people are unique too. God has given us something that is beautiful. Something to contribute to everyone we meet everyday.
 Well, maybe we think that we are not beautiful, but beauty can't be measured by outward appearance. A person who can always give a smile to others is more attractive than someone who is beautiful outside but can't smile. We prefer to be together with happy people than grumpy people.

Is there something to smile about in this troubled world? Yesssss. I just smiled when I looked at these flowers.
When we give compliment to others or recieve one, we smiled.

So I'm  happy that God created light too. When the sun is shining, it makes us smile, especially we who lives in Norway. Coz in wintertime it is almost dark whole the day. So the sun or the light is very much appreaciated here.

As individual, we can too can spread light around us by being positive and be thankful. I'm sure we have a lot of things we
can be thankful about.

Surprise!

I get up at eight am after a good night sleep. The morning was peaceful, so I'm enjoying my breakfast. Suddenly the phone rang and I thought that maybe it was a long distance call from the Philippines. Well, it was my sister Lida who is living in Stavanger. She is in Trondheim and asked me if she can come to visit us today. She wanted very much to see her youngest daughter. So she needed a ride after the ferryboat. I called our older sister Lourdes and asked if she wants to go with me to fetch Lida. It is one and half hour drive from home.
And so we went. The weather was nice and we encountered no problem along the way. I was not used in long distance driving, so for me it was a good training.
 My sister Lida and her daughter and myself who did not have the time to put on her make up. Well, I hope that there is beauty within :)
Smile on their faces, coz we are going to eat soon!













 I served chicken curry with rice and blue shells ( tahong)

Mother and daughter!
Its another bonding day with family! God is good :)

Being creative!

I just wonder why I started this blog....do I have really have something to share? Can I write? Is there someone out there who can be interested in my thoughts, my life, my ups and downs and my dreams? Can I be an inspiration to someone? I just hope that I won't annoy anybody...
Well, maybe I just want to be in contact with someone who can inspires me , whom  I can share my  ideas and vice versa. Coz I'm a very creative person and if I just have the time...I want to learn everything under the sun.
 Examples  of the cards that I made. I like making cards and have sold already lots of them. Maybe through this blog I can find someone who do the same. Hope so :)

Date With My Husband

We were invited by a friend to visit this place coz they were having a sale of different things to contribute to their boat club.
The weather was very nice and so we went.
We did find some things to buy. A painting and a sculptur and we were very satisfied with what we bought.
But, is there still a place in our home for these things?

I'm a person who likes to collect things both old and new, but sometimes I have to prioritize what is really important. Does these things built me up? Well, it makes me happy of course that I could buy things I like. Hopefully these things will be liked by the people who will inherit these things one day.

Anyway , the date with my husband is worth having!

The Plaza



We stopped in Calamba Laguna to take a picture of our national hero in the Philippines: Jose Rizal.  A thought comes to my mind that we too can be heroes in our own ways and  in our own lives.
