    *Taking shots while aboard train… photo courtesy of novem..

    *Late arrival in the train station of Nancy… reception at M. J.C. Etoile Hall w/ choir Croqu’ Notes (the group assisted us for the whole event.)

    *Flags from participating countries - Germany, Saudi Arabia, Bulgaria,Finland, Lituania, Spain, Mongolia, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Russia & Sweden

    *Our Mama Josephine preparing our first dinner. We (together w/ my buddy -Jonar) stayed at their house in Chavigny (outside Nancy) for 6 days. She’s an Italian married to a French man (Papa Joseph), she speaks a little bit of Spanish so we really never had a hard time on communication unlike our other choirmates whom their foster parents speak French language only hehehe… :) But sometimes, if she really don’t know how to explain… she showed us some photos of the things, for us to understand.

    *Wheww… 1st she gave us biscuits and wine. My buddy told me, “I’m really hungry, I need real food.” After an hour or more, we are full already… no place for the food. Even if there’s no rice (can live w/o it), food is great. Later on we learned that she’s a cook in a restaurant before, a couturier now. Wine is prohibited that time but still I drink… not much… hmmm a bottle only :)

    *A view from living room… a foggy afternoon…

    *Country side… I really love the place…

    Last Friday, our group’s President celebrated his birthday at Steakhouse.

    Here are some of the photos…

    This one caught my attention… a black rock grilled steak.


    “Black Rock Grilling” is a healthy cooking method using a volcanic (granite) stone, no oil or fat is used. The black rock is heated to 440 DegC and then placed the steak of your choice (tenderloin, top sirloin or rib eye ) to their specially designed grill platter.

    I remember when I was working at Wendy’s (SM Carpark North Edsa) during my college years, I was an expert (kuno) creating (overflowing) salad in just a small plate. :)


    ****
    This one is hmmm I don’t know :)

    ****
    The waiters presented a little cake to the celebrant as they sing a birthday song in different versions (languages).


    To our beloved Prez, wish you more strength to handle the group… :)

    “An apple a day keeps the Doctor away…”


    Whew… Sensya na sa inyo bihira lang makapag-ikot sa mga bahay nyo dahil busy sa work. Plant shutdown, turn-around maintenance activities and tying up of a new plant.

    Tsaka 4 times a week pa ang practice sa choir dahil sa nalalapit na biyahe. :)

    Kunting update lang muna at kunting dalaw :)… Thanks sa inyo. :)

    Kaninang umaga mas maaga ako ng gising sa usual wake up call ko na 5:50am. Try ko kasing magsaing ng kanin para sa baon ko, kasi lagi na lang kaning lamig ang binabaon ko para sa tanghalian.

    So, habang nakasalang ang sinaing.. ako nama’y nag-aalmusal ng wheat chocolate cereal with low fat fresh milk. Try ko lang ang chocolate flavor, sarap naman. Pagtapos kong maligo sakto ring naluto ang kanin kaya lagay agad sa baunan…

    Ano naman ang almusal nyo sa araw na ito? O ano ang lagi nyong inaalmusal?
