Bargain Breakfast

This morning I went to Mt Druitt with my brother and Pauline. While Michael got a hair cut, Pauline went with me to Flight Centre just to ask about some prices for Melbourne and Cairns. I wanted to do something for my birthday this year. I just wanted to go away somewhere and have fun. I normally get all sad and emotional on my birthday. I sulk about not being with anyone or getting old. Im kinda getting sick of that. I told myself that this year I am going to live for the moment and make myself happy. Dr Phil didn't even have to help me make that decisions ahahaha. After all the quotes we met up with Michael for breakfast. We went to this little cafe inside the shopping centre. There was a lot of people there. No wonder the breakfast was $5.90. Check out what you get for $5.90. Yummy. I also ordered an Ice Coffee which was gooooood...





I know the photo below is random but I just had to share it. The baby is Lenny. He is my cousins little boy. He is so freaken handsome. He is such a poser. I reckon he will grow up to be the next Kelly Slater. Hopefully with hair. Just look at him. So cute. Gwen I miss you all very very much and I can't wait to squeeze your cheeks Lenny. Dylan I have plenty of colouring books and toys waiting for you mate.

The photo below just cracks me up. I went to see Yvonne last night and she was showing me photos of Dom's sister's little puppy. Its such a candid shot. Ralph your name really fits. aahahahahaha

Hay Fever and Cupcakes...

My hay fever started yesterday morning and I took some drugs and went to work. My nose was running, my eyes were itchy and I couldn't hear properly from my right ear. I was really busy so I stayed at work and tried to ignore it. This morning I woke up and I felt like someone took a bat and hit me over the head with it. I had a massive headache and my joints were sore and my nose was blocked. I ended up staying at home. When your working full time its so hard to think about how you will make your day at home go faster. Its so boring. There's only so much sleeping you can do in a day. I ended up making cup cakes to take to some girls at work tomorrow. Who would have thought that the Martha Stewart in a time like this.

Cabramatta

My Family and I went to Cabramatta today. My future sister inlaw came along so it was a cultural scene that she has never experienced before. Cabramatta is great. the different dishes fruits and great materials. My brother is getting married in September so it was a chance for him and Pauline to get some prices on things that they need for their wedding. My mum kept on asking me to take photos of all the fruits and veges for my blog. Check out how big those custard apples are...




We decided to eat some lunch at BKK. Now I love that place there's so many things to try.
While we were eating this lady from one of the restaurants came over to our table and took my dad's food and started speaking in Vietnamese. I was shocked. Apparently she had given my dad the wrong order and just decided to take it away. I demanded an explanation and I asked her what we are suppose to do now that she rudely took my dad's food. She offered to give us back a dollar for the difference. What the???

I was so pissed off. She was sitting in her little restaurant basically bitching about my family in Vietnamese and she looked as if she was pissed of at us. Now why would she be pissed at us when she is the one that stuffed our order up? I started talking really loud saying how freaken rude she was. Then she kept on giving me dirty looks. This couple went up to the counter and I said " Hey you better make sure she gets your order right, otherwise she will take your food away".

She just looked at me funny again. After a heated lunch I needed to calm down so we all got up and went for a walk. But before I could get up I had to say one more thing to that rude lady that I really wanted to punch. I yelled out " Well I sure hope your business goes under". Now I know I shouldn't have done that but I was so angry and thats what anger does. I dont regret what I said.

If anyone is going to Cabramatta please don't eat at that restaurant. It's in BKK right next to that Laos restaurant. I couldn't get the name because it was written in Vietnamese..

Bungalow 8

Last night we went to Bungalow 8 for Gia's birthday bash. It's a great bar and lucky enough Monday night wasn't so busy. Ritch and I left Bungalow 8 at around 10ish and then we went to Tony Roma's for some ribs. Yummo. I couldn't eat it all so I took a doggy bag home for the oldies.


Here is a great photo of Gemma, Gia, Anna and Ritch.


Here is Ritzche trying to be a Homeboy.


Ok I have no idea what Gem and Anna were doing in this photo. But it was funny.

Leeia's 21st..

This afternoon was at my cousin Leeia's house. She had the family and some close family friends over for a late lunch. Happy 21st. I hope you got lots and lots of presents. My cousin Faith came down from Canberra so it was really good to see her.

I love food shots...

Lance and Andrew. Doesn't Andrew look like Jared Padalecki? You know Sam from Supernatural. I'm related to a superstar look a like.

More food shots. My Aunt made her famous chicken and mash potato dish. It was gone in 10 minutes flat.

Can you tell that Leeia, Rod and Faith were all sitting on my Aunty Baby when the shot below was taken? Just look at the smiles on their faces.

Yvonne and I. She is so pretty..

The Pagdanaganan Family. Lia looked like a Rockstar with her knee high boots and her cute little outfit. You go girl. How confusing I have 2 first cousins named Lia. The only way i can tell is by the way they are spelt. Lia or Leeia.

How cute. Dom and Von. Such a sweet couple.

Leeia, Faith and I. I really miss Faith. I wish she lived a little closer to home. I love spending time with her.

The Boys from left Rod, Andrew, Dom, Lachlan, Michael, Kookie and Uncle Jojo.

I forgot to take a photo of Milo the dog. He went with us to my cousins house. They have a really big backyard and he had a really good time running around. At one point we couldn't find him. We found his jacket stuck to the rose bushes but no dog. He must have been trapped amongst the rose bushes and managed to take of his jacket to get away. Damn that would have been a good photo. Sometimes you just cant get all the good shots.

Happy Birthday Caleb..

Today Ritch and I went to Caleb's birthday and Dedication day. Caleb is Liberty's nephew. It was at the St Mary's Leagues Club. It was so good to catch up with old friends and people that I haven't seen in years. I can't believe how many people are either married or having kids. It made me think about my own life and in which direction it is going. Anyways I ate way too much. The food was really good and the company was even better.

Have A Great Trip Seb..

Tonight we went to Rachel and Jeepoy's house for dinner. My mum made some food and I drove over there right after work. My godson Sebastian is going to Japan and then America with his parents for a bit of a holiday. I think they are staying in America for about 3 months. We won't see him until he is about 5 months old. It's ok Im sure my cousins will keep us posted. The main thing is that he gets to spend time with his other Aunts, Uncle and his cousins. I will miss him sooooooo much. Take care of your Mum and Dad Sebastian and I will see you soon. I can't wait to see how big you get. I'm counting down the days till I can pinch your cheeks. Hey check out his Man Jeans.... Ahahahaha I have never seen a new born in denim before. This baby should be a model..




Speaking of trips... A friend of mine is enjoying the food, cute men and the fabulous beaches in Hawaii. Sharon I hope you are having an amazing time driving around in your Mustang... Oh my goodness I wish I wish in your spot... Thanks for the postcard Hunny.... Dont forget to slip, slop anbd slap... Take care and I cant wait to hear about your trip.


Sunday At My House

We had a small gathering of people at my house on Sunday. My mum marinated some meat for the BBQ and made some other stuff. Here are some pics. I didnt get to take that many...

This is for you Uncle Totoy

My folks went to good ol Cabramatta for some fresh fruit and veges the other day. My mum said oh take a good photo of the Custard Apples (Atis) so that your Tito can see it on your blog. Well here it is Uncle. Yummmmmmmmmyyyyy. This I think is another reason why you and your family should come to Australia.



I have attached more photos of day 2 of shovelling and fixing the front and backyards. As you can see my mum is just hanging out with our dog Dru to supervise the operation. There's a candid shot of my dad too.

The Easter Weekend So Far

I've got so much to post so I thought I would do it in two parts.

Thursday Night: After speeches for Kahne's farewell I packed my bags and made my way to the station. The little devil inside me said " Go into that Coach store, Go in" so I went into the Coach store. Oh my god. There was a 30% of sale. Now I don't normally spend a lot on a bag but I have been saving to get the perfect bag, oh and an upgrade on my Ipod.



Friday Morning: My mother decided to purchase 10 tones of top soil to level the back and front yard. They say it makes the grass grow greener. So my poor father had to get a wheelbarrow and shovel dirt front the front yard to the backyard. My brother, Pauline and I decided to help out but after about an hour I wanted to go and have a shower. How the heck does the sexy Jamie Dury do it?


Saturday Afternoon: It's Anna's birthday today. Happy Birthday Michelle Kwan (As Ritzche would call her). We celebrated her birthday by going to Luna Park. It was so much fun. My favourite ride is the Tango Train.. ehehehe. Chris, Gia and I also got fake tattoos. If only I can get the courage to get a real one.

London Here Comes Kahne..

We had a farewell lunch for Kahne today. He is leaving to go to London for work. He is the funniest guy. What a cool dude you are Kahney Wahney. I remember the first time I met him I was like who is this dude? He is kinda weird, always whistling and stuff. But we ended up being good friends. Kahne good luck in London. Keep in touch buddy and be safe. We all love you and we will all miss you and your ghostbusters t-shirt.

MWAH...... from the bottom of my heart....

Fishy Fishy

I had lunch with Anna and Gemma today. We just went to Costi's for some fish and chips. Because I'm trying to be good I just had grilled Barramundi with a herb crust and some salad. Sooooo yummy.



Anna had sushi and Gemma had the crumbed Barramundi with chips and salad. I forgot to take a photo of Gemma's food. Darn diddly Batman....
