WYD 2008

I'm so envious right now because my sister has all her travel plans settled for her visit to Sydney, Australia for the World Youth Day this July. She doesn't exactly define 'youth' in terms of age (she's even four years older than me!) but I think that with her outlook in life, she definitely falls in the 'youth' category! Right sis? Plus I think that she definitely deserves to experience this chance of a lifetime and be the first in our immediate family to see Joseph Ratzinger, a.k.a. Pope Benedict 16th in the flesh! So very lucky! [Ooopps! Just remembered that it was my Dad who was the first to see Pope Benedict! Totally forgot that he went nga pala to Rome last year to attend the canonization of Saint Marie Eugenie, Foundress of the Assumption Sisters). Lucky for him! Wish we can also go back to Rome soon!!!!]

Anyway, what's good about all of this is that Don Javier Echevarria (the Father, as we call him), will be making a side trip to Manila after WYD! Lucky me, I will get to see him once more while my sister may be back in Iloilo by then. Haha!

 My pregnancy condition did not allow us to celebrate/dine out on our wedding anniversary this year. But Hunny tried to make that day special for us still by making it a pizza and cake night, not just for the the two of us but for the whole family. :-) Love you dad!

Get Lucky

One of the rich Chinese bosses in the office and I were talking the other day about traveling to the different countries in the world. She was a frequent traveler and she told me that she tries her best to go and check out the casinos in each one of those countries she has been to. Even locally, she really enjoys going to the casinos with her family and other friends regularly. Although I'm not so familiar with the type of games in the casino, I told her that if she really likes playing in the casinos and she has the money to spare, then she can even try her luck with the best online casinos . I added that now, one does not even have to go out of the house to play in the casino. She didn't believe me at first until I showed her the site on the internet where she saw that anyone can play the different games in the casinos. Indeed, you need not go to Las Vegas or anywhere else to play for the excitement and fun or, in the case of many folks, for real money.
