Feast 191

Posted by Leah as Aussie Life, Family, Home Front, Meme, Work

It is the start of the weekend (yey!) and it looks like it is off to a good start. J has been informed today that he was accepted for a job position he applied for some months ago. He’s pretty ecstatic about it as he was dancing about our lounge area when he read the letter from his new employer. We are all happy for him. But, I reckon the best part of it all is that we heard from our broker who gave us the good news. Yes, our loan application has finally been approved! And from the looks of it, we won’t have to postpone our trip anymore. All’s well that ends well.

Alright, on to this week’s feast…

Appetizer
What is the nearest big city to your home?
Nearest to the ACT is of course Sydney. It’s just a three-hour drive away, whereas Melbourne is 8 hours away if you’re planning to take a road trip.

Soup
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how well do you keep secrets?
I think I am an 8. I am a fairly good keeper of secrets.

Salad
Describe your hair (color, texture, length).
It’s black and never been colored in a long while, dry (from the cold weather and desperately in need of hot oil treatment) and grazes just below the shoulder.

Main Course
What kind of driver are you? Courteous? Aggressive? Slow?
I can be aggressive if I want to. But I am generally an okay driver. I am easily distracted though and can forget at times a few no-no’s, like turning off the engine before putting the gear in neutral. But those are rare occasions. Silly me.

Dessert
When was the last time you had a really bad week?
The last time was a long time ago. The worst I suppose when I was still adjusting to Erin and had several weeks of the post natal blues. That was last year.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Heto ang una kong lahok para sa Litratong Pinoy. Sa pagkuha ng larawang ito, ginamit ko ang aming DSLR.

Ang kandilang ito ay matagal na sa amin. Ito’y binili pa namin para sa unang pagbisita ng Birheng Maria sa bahay namin. Maliban dito, sinisindi din namin ito para bumango ang aming kapaligiran pagkatapos kong magluto ng ulam namin. Dalawang taon na ang nakalilipas ay di pa rin sya nauubos, at sa tingin ko’y matatagalan pa kaming bibili ng kapalit nito. Sulit ang binayad namin dito.

House Updates

Posted by Leah as Aussie Life, Erin Chloe, Family, Home Front

We saw our broker and solicitor yesterday and went over the contract for the sale of the house. Finding all in good order, J and I signed the document. The solicitor was very thorough and gave us possible problem scenarios that may arise until the time that there will be a settlement, especially since we informed her that we were going on holidays for at least 2 months. And although we have worked out solutions to these potential problems, we might be postponing our trip to Manila to June as J wants everything settled with us here present should anything unexpected happen.

I am personally not so keen about that as I am already psyched up for the whole trip. Plus, everyone back home is expecting us to arrive in May. And come to think of it, if this was to push through, I don’t think I’ll be able to get my 3-month vacation as originally planned since Erin is scheduled to come back in September for her Chickenpox Immunisation. Oh dear, what to do, what to do?
