It's My 54th Birthday ... Hurray !
January 14, 2019 ~ time for the much awaited day for a celebration. Kids and adults were all excited decorating the walls and of course waiting to taste all the cakes and all the home cooked food we had prepared for everyone coming to celebrate my special day. Geeezzz,, I am a year older again aagghhhhh .
My family is not small in number so I made sure we had enough food to feed the whole batallion ...I went early to the wet market to buy some fresh produce and seafoods . Have a look at the pics below of what I found in the wet market today ... it's a must that they all got fed and contented before they go home . Ha ha ha ...
I wasn't expecting a big cake but this was more than enough ...
I didn't get 1 cake ...but I got 2 cakes !
Wow !!!
I had received some nice gifts too ...
Wooo hooo ...Thank you !
Muaahhh muaaahhh muaaahhhh
it was so funny that the kids surprised me with their singing , birthday balloons and most of all, they even had a party theme , some party poppers as well as give aways too . My birthday turned into a one super merry kid's party complete with banners , balloons and candies ! Wa ha ha ... so delightful indeed !
The fun and festivities wasn't spent just at home alone. We managed to spend sometime in the cemetery as well to visit my loved ones... both of my parents and my younger brother were all resting there. Of course my birthday will not be complete without including and thinking of them. we brought some flowers and said our prayers... then I bonded with my living siblings who were present that day. My elder sister and another younger brother and a younger sister all with their family members in tow . I told you ... I really have a big family... lol !

| I miss you my dear brother ... |
 |
| Love you forever ... mom and dad .. |
A big thank you to all for the lovely day you had spent with me. I hope you all enjoyed the food ... the drinks, the laughter the bonding and most especially even all the sermons ... big sister still got a lot to say ... but let's reserve some for next time I come and visit the Philippines again. Meantime , let's finish all these foods and enjoy what life has to offer us ... may we all be blessed even more and hope that I get even be more blessed so I can share all the good things with all of you .
Big thanks again for the fun day !

~LORENINE BARBIE ~
Anyways, I got ready early this morning coz I had planned to go , see and visit the Tarsier Sanctuary and several other places like the Snake & Butterfly park in Carmen, Bohol. But, I started the morning with some selfies outside my room by the terrace while it was sunny. My chance to pose a bit in solo and with Meier & Naida too ... why not.
 |
| A Big thank you to Astoria Bohol staffs for the beaded long necklaces ( I was wearing in this photo ) they had given me upon our check in to their hotel. |
Then off we went to our day tour. We passed the Man made Forest and took pictures as we cruise along. Man Made forest got a nice view for picture taking as well. A bit of photoshoot then off to the Tarsier Sanctuary ...
There were only few Tarsiers in the sanctuary so we were quite dissappointed. The time of the day where all of them were asleep too . So we just had a quick look and snap shots at them, bought a few souvenir items at their shop to support them and quickly proceeded to move on to the next destination in our trip.
We proceeded to the famous "Chocolate Hills " to make sure the 2 lovebirds with me get a nice souvenir photo of them together.
 |
| The hills were all green this time of the year so no chocolate looking hills to see this time. |
Then we went to the "Loboc River Cruise" for our buffet lunch as we view the river from the boat. A very refreshing and interesting ride of the day with good sceneries along the bank of the river.
 |
| I like the colorful table cover during our buffet lunch. Very eye catching ! |
 |
| The sight of the village dogs enjoying the cool river water on a hot sunny day was priceless ... |
 |
| The sight of green water and trees is so soothing to my eyes ... very calming and cool. |
Oh... almost forgot to mention that before heading to our sumptous lunch, we first went to pass by the Double bamboo bridge. Again, a bit of picture taking happened while we were here.
We later headed on to the snake & butterfly place where we took some daring, hair raising photos with the huge pythons and Albino snakes. I love snake skin shoes and bags but a real snake ? Omg .... and not just 1 ... lots of them were in this place ... yaiiiiiyyyyy!
 |
| Hey Snake... pls don't turn around and keep on sleeping, ok ? |
 |
| yaikkkssss... slippery and cold scales . Gave me the creep ! |
 |
| These Albino Phytons were measuring 5 to 7 meters long ! |
It was really one very busy day but well spent all over the place. Everyone was tired but happy at the end of the day. Tomorrow will be another busy day touring the some parts of the island again ... excitement to the max just thinking about it.
It was really more fun in the Philippines !
