Family camping - North Stradbroke Island

Last week, we went on a family camp for 3 days, the weather was fantastic, we we're a bit worried because the forecast was it was going to be rainy for 2 days out of 3 days we're at the camp. We enjoyed the beach, the walk, games etc! so here are few photos that i took!

Irene - Full pledged Australian citizen "I am, you are, we are Australian"

March 20, the same day we got back from Japan, I had to go pledge at Brisbane city hall to become an Aussie citizen along with 500 others, the ceremony was nice, lot's of family members and friends shared it with us! I really enjoyed it. Now that's all out of the way, I will now need to re-acquire my Filipino citizenship to become a dual citizen. Australia is a beautiful country/continent and i am so proud to be a part of it, not just saying this because i am now a citizen.. It really is a privilege to be a citizen of a free and a very multicultural country!!

Japan trip - March 2009

In November last year Chad and I bought plane tickets to Japan, as our 6 year anniversary treat, anyway it was cheap tickets:) and that's one reason why we bought those tickets, Japan's beautiful and expensive:) but we had heaps of fun! luckily we brought our own tourist guide:) (Heath - Chad's brother) who served his mission there, otherwise it would have been a little tough for me and Chad to figure things out. We went to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, we caught up with our Japanese friends, sight see around Tokyo and went to Disneyland Tokyo, saw a few ancient temples in Kyoto and went to our friends sealing in the Tokyo temple.. and ate heaps of yummy Japanese food:)

a lot has happened since Chad's last blog

Well, we had our 6yrs anniversary in February, Chad and I went on a little getaway to the Sunshine Coast, where he took me Jet skiing for the very first time and i loved it a lot, in fact i nearly knock Chad off at the back seat, that's how much i love jet skiing hehehe, i went so fast (faster than chad yeah baby!!) that i forgot about him clinging behind me:) anyway here are some of the photos we took.
