Futaba Festival 2006

The annual Shizuoka Futaba School Festival is being celebrated in two days. This year it was celebrated on September 16 (Sat) and 17 (Sun).
One of the main features of the event was the bazaar and as usual... same routine every year... I was sched by the parent's association to help the school bazaar yesterday.
I gave my extra best to work hard becoz this is my last duty to cooperate to the school activities. Yup! my only daughter--Sachan is graduating from Senior High School next year and... so... in a way, maybe I'll miss helping the school bazaar someday! However, I might still attend the Futaba Festival on the coming years... I'm fond of shopping to their bazaar wherein we can buy many good items in reasonable... oh no no, correction ... cheap prices!
I hate to admit this but I was quite desperate yesterday... I worked too hard this time... but I lost my time to go around to buy some worthy stuff from the bazaar.
Better try next year!

Actually, yesterday--September 9 was the founding anniversary of our group but we decided to celebrate the event today...coz Sunday is the best day to all members and friends to gather together!

A visit to Marissa's home!

At long last... I got a chance to visit Marissa's pad! Thanks to Sarah and family for bringing me there! It's been more than a month since I never see her... thanks be to God that she is now GENKI recovering from her operations.
I met Marissa's daughter Mariko and her mother and brother who are visiting her from Philippines. Syempre... kumustahan blues!

What excites us most was her home made HALO-HALO! Napaka-simple ng ingredients but it's very yummmmmy! GOCHISOSAMA DESHITA!
