Renewed my Passport

I went to Milan yesterday to renew my passport at the Philippine Embassy in Milan since it will expire already on 11 of August and I am planning to go to Philippines for holidays by the end of September. They told me that the renewal will take 2 months since they will be implementing already the Machine-readable passport but I told then that my ticket was already booked and i can't move my date of departure. So, the processor told me to go to the offce of the Vice-Consul for the approval of the old Green Passport. Luckily, the Vice Consul approved my request but she told me to make the new new passport when I come back. Of course I told her, I will and the passport that i requested will be released on tuesday next week. I'm sooo excited already to go home to Philippines. I really miss all my family there. So, friends and family in Philippines...here I come. :))

Going Home Tomorrow

Hello Guys, our holidays are over and we will go home tomorrow. We are so dark already by exposing in the sun everyday.... I had a brown skin and now I'm almost black...ouch!!!! I hate it but I had no choice...My companions love exposing themselves in the sun.

Anyways, I would like to thanks to all my fellow bloggers who regularly visit me in this site especially Sheng, who are always there to say HI and I'm so sorry to all of you that I couldn't visit you back. I really tried but my internet connection is so slow. I'm only using a dial-up connection, so please forgive me for not paying a visit to anyone. But tomorrow, I'll be home and I will really visit each and everyone of you. Again THANK YOU and GOD BLESS to everyone

Innamorata Beach

Innamorata means Inloved in English. They call this beach innamorata because there was a legend that a woman tried to kill herself by jumping at the cliff of this beach and that there was a man who was so inloved with her and tried to save her. Some people said it was true and some said that it was only a legend...but every year on July 14 they make a reincarnation of what happened that time and tourists from all over come here to watch it and then there was a parade from Innamorata beach to another beaches then it will end to the center of the Town of Capolivere. I wasn't able to have a chance to watch the reincarnation because it was already late when we went home from the beach and the reincarnation will start at 8:30 PM and then parking was already packed. So preferred to just stay at home. There will be another chance next year, maybe i'll just watch about it next year. Anyways, here are some pictures of Innamorata beach.

Learning to Swim


We are here in Isola d'Elba for more than a couple of week now and I'm so glad that Leo is learning to swim. On our first days here, he was scared to go in the pool. He really cried and shouted for terror. But now it is difficult for us to take him out of the pool. He would stay 2 to 3 hours in the pool everyday and is really trying hard to learn how to swim. When he wakes up in the morning he will eat breakfast and then ask us if he could go directly to the pool and same in the afternoon after having a nap. Sometimes we go to the beach but Leo doesn't like swimming there. He would just like to play with the sands. That why most of our time here is staying and taking a bath in the pool. The most important is that Leo is enjoying the Holiday.

Le Lecce Condominium - Isola d'Elba

We are on vacation and we are staying in Le Lecce Condominium where my partner's family have 2 units. This condominium is suppose to be a hotel but the previous owner got bankcrupt so he had to sell it. But nobody bought it as a hotel so they sell it per room and made it into a condominium and that was 30 years ago until now. It has a swimming pool, tennis court and a beautiful garden. We come here every summer. Leo love it here because of the swimming pool and kids that he could play with.
