Tricia's Great Experiences

When we were on our way out to the city this afternoon, we didn't have any transport to go out. So, my mom and I plus the children walked out of our compound and was met by our cousin at the gate who has a 'Trisikad' ( Tricycle).

Tricia wore a skirt and while we were walking she was complaining that the grasses are itchy. She looked around and saw all the tall grasses and trees, then said, " This is fun! We are in the deep forest!". She was so excited and was happily hopping to the gate when he saw a goat. She looked at the goat for a long time and ask, " Can I touch the goat please?". Who couldn't resist this 'ignorant' city girl? heheh! So, I said yes and she was so happy with her eyes sparkling even as she rode the 'trisikad'. It was not really her first time to experience all these since we were here 2 years ago, but I guess she has grown up and she appreciates all these simple pleasures in life all the more.

I'm also glad that we came back home. Even if I'm struggling a bit without my HUbby but my girl is very happy. She always keep on repeating, " I'm happy to be here in the Philippines, Amma!" and not only that, everything here seems to be very beautiful, even our small, almost deteriorating house, her Granny's room, her cousin's house and etc.

when we went back to the Philippines for a break last year, my boy was very happy there also. what is it about the Philippines? maybe warm friendly people? my boy kept saying mommy, i'm happy here. now everytime we call his grannies, he keeps asking if we can go back to the Philippines.
