My birthday is coming soon. I have no big plans on how I will celebrate it. Maybe we will just stay at home since hubby has work that day too and then we will just have nice dinner at home when he gets home.

But if you will ask for my birthday wish list, then here it is. Actually, these are just simple wishes. I know we have accumulated a lot of expenses last year and we have to save this year for the coming of the baby so no big expenses for this year.

1. I want to go to a facial salon for some pampering and maybe some blackheads treatment.
2. I want to eat pancakes at Bag of Beans
3. A nanny that we can really trust and rely on.
4. A sign that will help us decide which school to choose for Bela.
5. Good health for me and my family especially to the baby growing inside me.

Ok, ok. I know my wishes are corny but if you will ask for my real wish list:

1. A red Philip Stein watch.
2. The Red or Pink Ultragirl Tinkerbell Melissa shoes

3. The White Night III

4. The Violet Ultragirl Vazada Flocked

We woke up a little late because of our long day the day before. We just crossed the street again to take the MTR going to the Airport. Howell has to withdraw some money as we don’t have enough Euros left. We bought breakfast at the terminal for take out so we have something to eat at the airport.

As soon as we arrived at the airport, I looked for the Tax refund counter to file the tax refund for the bags that I bought. I followed the long queue only to find out that they can’t accept my forms there as it is the counter for goods purchased that will be checked-in. Since I will be hand carrying my items (since I don’t want to risk checking in the Chanel bag of Jacqui. LOL), I have to line up at the Tax Refund counter after I checked in. But looks like we have no luck that day as the checked in counter opened late because they are having some problems because of flight delays so in short, I had no time left to file my tax refund after we checked in (sorry guys, but I really tried my best. LOL).

The flight left on time but when we reached Dubai, it was announced that our flight will be delayed for like two hours. Our flight from Dubai to Manila was full so there are a lot of Filipinos waiting at the waiting area so I was not able to get some sleep while waiting for our flight. And besides, the seats are really not comfortable for sleeping and I guess I am too much excited already and can’t wait to land in Manila to see Bela. There was also a mixed up because they change our seating assignment when we are already ready to board which leaves me and Howell several rows and seats apart. I was really pissed and the crew was really not helpful with our problem. This made me swear that I will not use Gulf Air again. Thank goodness that the fourth flight attendant that I talked to was able to sort things out and Howell and I got a seat beside each other.

When we arrived in Manila, Bela and my parents are already waiting for us. Bela was so excited upon seeing us that she wanted to jump out of the window as soon as she sees us. We went to Dampa for merienda as Howell and I are really craving for real food. LOL. Then we went to Duty Free for some pasalubong shopping and more toy shopping for Bela then we went home.

My good friend Lala will be getting married in just a few days. We are all excited for her and of course, no one can be more excited than her for her big day.

She made a lot of preparations for this special day. Everything is all set but the last time we talk she kept on saying that she should have used weight loss products so she will be more sexy and pretty on her big day but we kept on telling her that she will be the prettiest girl on that day in her groom’s eyes and of course, the bride will always shine.

I haven’t been out lately because of my condition so I haven’t bought a gift for the couple. But my wardrobe problem is solved already as Peachy lends me her evening gown which I will be wearing for the wedding.

I am sure this will be one fun and memorable wedding. You can see how much the couple love each other so I am sure I will be in tears again as I see her walk down the aisle to meet the man whom she will promise to love forever. To Lala and Cedric, Best Wishes!!

We are almost at the final stretch of our Europe tour. This is our last whole day in Paris. I feel exhausted already and at the same time excited that in just two days, I will see my baby again. It was a fun trip and I am glad that I get to experience this with my husband and I wish that someday we will be able to bring Bela to the places that we have been to Europe.

After all the travelling, I feel that I need to get an adult acne treatment as soon as I get home because my acne has worsen while I was on trip.
During our entire trip, we are always late for our bus ride, train ride and we barely made it for our flight to Paris. So I told Howell that no more running this time and we have to be at the station early. We went to Paris EST HGV station first to check the station on where we will ride our train late in the afternoon. We asked around to make sure that we are at the right station. Then we went to Long Champ store for more bag shopping for Jody, Kelly, my sister and I also exchange my bag again for the second time from the regular Le Pliage to the limited edition Le Pliage in blue. We also met a Filipino who worked at the Long Champ store in Paris and we chatted for a bit and she gave us her calling card. We went back to the Notre Dame area for some souvenir shopping before going back to our hotel to check out. Then we went to Port Newt and to the Pantheon. I was so tired already that I told Howell that I will just wait for him outside while I watch for movies on my Iphone. Then we decided to go back to our hotel to pick up our things so we can proceed to the train station and just wait for our train ride there.

We were an hour early at the station so we were able to rest and relax for a bit. We are taking DB Bahn from Paris to Frankfurt. I like DB bahn because their trains are really clean and it has a big leg room. There was a technical problem though while we are in the middle of our trip so we stopped for like twenty minutes while they fix the problem but that is no problem since we are seated comfortably inside the train.

We arrived a little past 1 AM in Frankfurt and we are lucky because that hotel (Hotel Continental) that we booked is just across the train station in Frankfurt and we are already familiar with the area because Frankfurt is our entry point in Europe. We immediately dozed off to sleep as soon as we are checked in.

I was watching the news last night and there was a report about a three year old girl who got reunited with his father after spending at least two weeks in the hospital. The mother and the girl had an accident and the mother was badly hit by the truck and that is why they were brought to the hospital. The mother died in the hospital and so the girl was left alone and the hospital staff took care of the girl while they were looking for the father.

Yesterday, the father was able to locate her daughter after weeks of searching. It is good news for the father but at the same time he was faced by the fact that his wife did not survive the accident and worse, I am not certain if the truck company will take responsibility for what happened.

If only they will get the help of personal injury attorney austin texas, then the bereaved family will be assured that they will get a settlement or help from the company responsible for the accident. Lawyers from O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath have extensive experience in these kinds of cases and they will even tailor fit their strategies base on the facts that they will be able to gather for the case. They will give the clients full control on how to decide with the case – whether to accept the settlement or go to court, while they give advise on how to best deal with the case.
