Christmas Train Display

On Saturday afternoon Aileen's parents came to pick us up from the condo. We went to afternoon mass followed by happy hour at a little bar called Palimino located in the town square.
After drinks Dr Aquino took us to see the model railroad display that is shown at christmas time each year in the foyer of the Duke energy centre. There will be more photos of the display to come , as I did not have my camera with me. It was also super busy which made it hard to get good shots.

Chipotle- Mexican Extravaganza

Photo 1: Wow, this thing is heavy, Blazey and Aileen weighed one in at 2lb. It looks delicious though.

Photo 3: Man, this thing is so freaking good. I'm going to eat one every day!!!!

Breakfast 30-11-08

On saturday morning, 30th of November Aileen and I went for breakfast with her close friends Eric, Diana and Connor. Connor is so cute!! Although like all kids his age he is full of jumping beans and wouldnt sit still.

NEWS FLASH!! THIS JUST IN HERE ON FOX 19 NEWS!!!

Aileen and I were just minding our business the other day walking downtown when the papparazi just went nuts! Apparently they had heard that there was a new kid in town and that he was from down under or something like that. Anyway, after a mere two weeks out of the eye of the camera my cover was blown by FOX 19 News. Watch and see! (I kinda wish that I had have said "Hi Lucky!")

Friday- Jungle Jims

So Aileen and I spent another day shopping. We dont necessarily buy anything, but it is just so much fun walking around and looking at all of the amazing things that they have over here that we dont see in Australia because we dont need them. Just things like snow equipment for the home etc and crazy contraptions to make life easier.

So today we went to a place called Jungle Jims. If you picture the biggest IKEA that you have been to and then add some, you have an idea of the size of Jungle Jims. The crazy thing is that it is a supermarket!! They have a section for most countries in the world. So Aileen and I thought it would be amusing to investigate the Australian section. The photos above are what we found.

They have all of the essentials that Aussies use on a daily basis. It kind of put me at ease knowing that some home food isnt too far away. Not exactly the sausages, mashed potatoes and beans that I'm craving though Mum ;-)

Thanksgiving Lunch

After running the marathon Aileen and I headed to her parents house for Thanksgiving lunch. It is so good. The amount of food that you eat is not normal!! For me it was like a practise run at Christmas lunch. Aileen and her Mom prepared sweet potato casserole, a Filipino dish called pancet, mashed potatoes, honey baked ham, egg rolls, stuffing, fried rice and of course my favourite, Pumpkin Pie!!

New Photos Just In!!

So here are the photos that were taken of Aileen and I just before we crossed the finish line.

I am sorry that i havent posted any entries lately. I will be working on the blog tomorrow to upload the Thanksgiving lunch photos as well as some photos of Friday night out.

Then there will be photos that I took at the Bengals game that we attended on sunday.

It is amazing to go to an American ballgame. I dont think the stadiums and the atmosphere can be matched.

So there is plenty more to come. sorry that I have been slack.
