Walking Challenge to Ringwood Lake (October 1, 2020)

Shots from Ringwood Lake

Sibling photo shoot ☺️

I felt the tightness in my legs after walking to Ringwood Lake via Heathmont trail. It was the family's second walking challenge. The first one was going to Lakewood Lake. And honestly, I was really tired. Imagine not walking for 6 months. My legs sore and I got few blisters.

We never had plans to go there all the way, we just stopping at the nets club and when Tibor, the dad invited us to go to the nearest park in Heathmont, I told him, " do you dare to go to Ringwood Lake by foot?"

Well.. challenge started when he said yes.

And in fact, I didn't regret it going there because it was the first time when kids were having so much fun with the big slide. They even tried doing it over and over again. At first, Tibor junior was scared, so he wasn't convinced to try, he was just playing in the small one. But, when Hannah had to try, she was really having fun.

"Mama, it feels like I am in the roller coaster ride. It was so fast." She said.

Well, it was very fast for her because of her shiny and slippery skirt. One time, she just went off and hit her bottom on the ground. Hehe ☺️

But, of course... Tibor junior saw how she enjoyed the ride and of course, he had to go and have a try.

In the end, both were having the best day of their lives.

Have you experienced that moment when you ignored all the pain after you see your children laughing and so happy?

Memories in Austria from June 7 to June 16

Day 1 in Vienna – June 7, 2012 Leaving Budapest makes me sad, but going to Vienna makes me so excited. Another cultural experience has been waiting for us. So, the day before we left the country, we made sure that we have the necessary foods for the trip and cash because we need to buy train ticket. We woke up early and started walking at 5am heading to the Train Station, Budapest- Keleti. We supposed to leave at 6:05 am; however, there was something wrong with the rail jet, so we were transferred to another train that left at 7:10. We reached in Wein Meilding station in Austria at 9: 58am. Of course, travelling is not really all fun. I felt so tired specially, you can’t sleep well and you have to wake up so early. This train or Railjet 60 is much faster than the train we had from Bekes while the train from Debeljaca to Becej is the slowest of all. This is really second to Bullet Train. They have comfortable seats and ventilations. They give us program to inform us about ...

Lesson learned: Expect the Unexpected

T raveling is not e asy e specially when you have to step out of your comfort zone. A ll the inconvenience, desperation, and unexpected troubles that happened during the trip are lessons to reflect upon. We have proven how risky traveling is w hen my husband and I went to Europe for our honeymoon last year. T here were times we put our selves in danger because we messed out our bookings and things didn't work out as we planned them. Since the first day of our trip, we were used to booking our next departure ticket ever y time we arrived in a city. It was in contrast on what happen in Sweden. We didn’t know that we had to book the ticket from Copenhagen. Apparently, we thought that we are getting ahead, but we are not. We had to call Denmark's office to book the ticket knowing that we had no where to print it. It was a blessing that the S...

Letting Go of All Worries in Donna Buang Snow Mountain, Warburton | Snowplay | August 12, 2019

They say that winter always describes as cold, numbness, scarcity even associates with death. For me, that is snow, that is those days of bluster and ice that can be dangerous, but it can be also magical. It is a flash of diamonds that are covered everywhere. It is just all pure and white. May I wish that these thick pillows adorned on the trees and the soft and fluffy snow I am stepping on could heal all my worries about the future. Yet today, I am happy simply to walk with my family in it, it creates footprints of our own. The snow is soft enough that walking itself is very challenging because aside from it is so slippery, my feet are plunging to it. " God... please help me not to slip." The worried thoughts of a 27- week pregnant mommy me. And this is my winter pregnancy worries.
