Its That time of the year again...

Well it's that time of the year again where we have to + 1 to our age number and this is the 2nd year i get to celebrate my birthday in Luanda, Angola and i hope next year its not going to be the case and im crossing all my fingers and toes that next year i will be somewhere closer to home :)

Like last year we went out in the evening to celebrate my birthday but this time around because of some unforseen trouble with me, we cant go out for dinner instead lunch is very much preferred and so it is :)

And this was the weekend of my birthday.

Just like last year, mon coeur took me to my favourite resteaurant here in Luanda and thats in a place called ¨Coconuts¨ and it was a nice and refreshing place to be after a long while staying indoors, so it was a wonderful change of scenes and the breeze was fantastic and so was the food!

Our food! i like very much the banana Split but after going thru half of it i just cant go on anymore and thank god hubby is there to finish the dessert up for me :)

The view was just fantastic!

And as for the weekend before my birthday, hubby took me to a chinese restaurant called ¨Taiping¨ and it's definately my kinda taste of food and i especially like my  fluffy prawn fritters. simply yummm!

The food :)

Hubby, enjoying his selection of stuffed terung and sweet sour chicken.

AND finally, as i was busy doing the groceries and was wondering where hubby was suddenly he came with a bunch of flowers for me :) merci beaucoup mon coeur for the flower gift made me smile from ear to ear :)

Besides this, we have another birthday present from above that just made my life more beautiful and enriched with happiness is  when we got these....

YES!! we are finally PREGNANT!! 

and this tops up all the birthday gift i had this year and more so i got my last year birthday wish realised and a prayer answered from the one above!

Big bisous to everyone and May God Bless us all!

Snapping my way to oblivion! - Rome Trip - Day 1

These pictures are bad actually coz they are actually taken from inside a moving car and hence the not so sharp photos and top of it all there is the mindow mirror effect on it that i didnt quite like so to mask this not so good looking pictures i decided to revamp all of them and HDR them to the max :)

Don't ask me where are these pictures are taken from coz i have no idea all i know is that it was taken during our first day in Rome when we jalan2 in the city and so i was just snapping away to oblivion :)

so here are the pics and hope you guys like it :)

Day 1 - Rome Trip - Arrival Day :)

Ok Day 1 of our Rome Trip!

We are lucky enough to get a deal flight + hotel + car rental all in one package and it was awesome although it a bit crowded in the begining with all our luggages and all but we manage :)

We had a Fiat Panda for the whole time during our vacation here in Rome Italy and of course with our ever so faithful GPS system that helps us to locate just about anywhere we wanted to go so that was a double bonus indeed :)

The pilot and the co pilot :) DH and John :)

And the two sisters round the back with all the luggages but it's ok it's just up to the ride to the hotel of course :)

Off we go! On Va Sortir!

I nearly miss to take pictures of road signs, i barely caught this one hehehe

all the way on the side of the road you can see the famous coquelicot fleur which is almost in all famous paintings in Italy :) well i guess now i know why  hhehe

after about 30 minutes or so we arrived to our Hotel which happens to be a brand new hotel  ( i loveeee new hotels) and its beautiful with the flower gardens and quiet in the evening and a wonderful spread of breakfast and wonderful service with the staff at the hotel and mostly we had a wonderful spacious rooms and especially for the newly weds :)

Millie and John posing in front of the Hotel

Even the lift is decorated with the carvings of the colleseum :)

The alley going to the basement car park

Flowers are just everywhere in this hotel

and so was pollen heheheh

 DH was having an awful time fighting off pollen ellergies and thank god for his ellergies tablets he is all fine. Phew!

The modern style room and the toilet all brand new as this hotel just opened a few weeks back actually.

And after we have settled down in our hotel it's time to have our lunch and Mc D' it is :)
And so i took the opportunity to fish eyed these wedded bliss newly wed couples :)And here is where millie find out that eating in a Mc D' with a possibile mafia owner is not a good idea after all! so she vowed she will not go to that particular Mc D' again hahahahahah

ah well stay tuned and to be continued....

Big Bisous!

on another note....

 Finally last friday, Dh brough with him a package he got from work and he said ah i'm sure this is what you have been waiting for...and i just knew what it was :))

The package!

My favourite goodies  were in it packed especially for me and DH by our dear friend Philippe in France!!These Barres of sweetness is just delicious and you can make them into anything and as for me i put them in my Tiramisu and also yougurt just to have flavour in them coz these sweets are actually highly concentrated fruits and they are 100% natural fruits, bio and more so they are sugar free! They are very good treats for kiddies too :)

Oh! thank thank you thank you philippe for getting this package to us! 

merci beaucoup and we sure to treat you when we are back in France this december :)

 just to show you the quantity is and its a lot!! about 30 all of them i think it was with all our favourite flavour such as Framboise, peach and Fraise (strawberries)

Once again, merci beaucoup Phillipe!!

on flight to rome......

During our flight to Rome, when everyone was sleeping including DH, due to lack of activities on flight coz there were no food served coz the workers that supposed to prepare the food was on strike so we were only served cold mineral water through out the whole flight, so i amused myself for 2 hours plus by taking Ariel view shots of the majestic landscape outside. I also get to use my fish eye settings on my tiny Oly camera and was having a jolly goood time.

Well here are the pics taken just an hour or so on flight and the few last ones are taken just about 30 minutes upon reaching Rome. Well hope you guys enjoy the pictures!!

Big bisous!!
