First trip in Belgium



























MY TRIP TO BELGIUM ALONE

This was my first trip to Belgium and its unexpected because the first time I applied in the embassy i was denied but suddenly before my ticket got expired, i had a call from the embassy that my visa was approved and it was almost a year after i applied for a visa and i went to belgium on july 2010 , it was summer and great .
I have met the De Decker Family including the Bonnemaman ( Lola) I brought her my painting with the late Bompa in it . It was a bit emotional with her and Papa when I gave it to her but she was really happy with it. I also met some of Kris' cousins and relatives . That time also , Mama Mia and Papa Emile is still working so they are alternately bringing me to the places i want to go to like the best place ive been to " De Wieuw " a place where you can buy all the art materials you needed you can see it in one of the photos that i posted . We also went to the historical places like where you can find the painting of Reubens , the Cathedral where I was dreaming to go and the famous dog of Flanders, as i can still remember Nelo , he is the main character, the boy and the friend of Patrash , its a tv cartoon series that im always watching when i was young and i told myself that one day i will see thats church too , well i am so happy that mama mia brought me there and after that , we looked for a restaurant and we found PASTA and ofcourse we ate pasta with a big big plate, lol.
Me and Mama also went to the famous "Atomium " the first time i saw it was in Mel and Joey during their anniversary special and ofcourse , my Idol is Joey de Leon so I am watching that show. So , I told mama , I want to visit that place, then it was really amazing , its wonderful , unbelievable and amzing that people can really make a real building like that , you can see the belgium inside that atom. Take note , theres also a restaurant inside the atoms. After there, we went to the mini europe where you can see a lot of things and ofcourse the miniture of the best of europe well you have to see it by yourself. Me and Papa also went to a Glass exhibit i forgot where it is exactly was but its also amazing , once in a lifetime experience and i really treasuring it and unforgettable for me that i saw that exhibit, looks real and rare.
Before i go back to the Philippines , Papa brought me to Leonida's Belgian chocolate store . I was able to see many kinds of Belgian Chocolates , a lot of them , a lot of shapes and styles with different tastes. right now , im getting hungry when I remember that .
Still a lot of stories but I dont remember all coz now its a year ago that im writting it. Anyway I am now in Belgium and soon I will write another beautiful story about my 2nd vacation in Belgium. Bye for now

My Brother is an Artist











The people thought that in our house , theres only one artist and that is me , but the truth is , most of us likes arts, but most especially my brother Ed. I can say that he is more creative than me because everything that he can see is an art , for other people that is trash for him it is an art. He is the one next to me . Edwin or teacher Ed , was my male version , i don't know why we almost exactly the same , I'm the eldest and he is the second, sometimes he is more feminine than me and i am more masculine than he is. I am just one year older than him, and during high school and college wer like in the same circle of friends , I called him Kuya and he calls me Ate. When i go to theater club he also went to it ,he also loves writing and he also composing songs, he is good in playing guitar but me I'm really poor at it, he is just corny when it comes to love but I guess he is just so romantic. I taught Ed how to teach arts , so during the time I went for tv and movie production , he was the one who took over in my place. I gave him all my students and then he had his own way to teach the kids until he was the regular art teacher in Nestle Philippines - Lipa , you can also see his paintings there . He is also not so lucky in a relationship , his life is like a roller coaster. He has two daughter thats not with her , Keith is the eldest , she loves her Daddy and she also loves art . Ed is a loving person, but most in my life he really wants to spend it with his daughter but its just complicated, his youngest is Kim which he knows someday , he will be with or see and teach art too. He also loves to make my kids happy in the way he knows, like face painting . He is not just good in painting he is also creative in crafts like the dry roots , he will make it a decorations to the house, stones and i told you the trashes but he can make it a very nice souvenir, he also makes a dream catcher and he sells it here before . Now , my brother is in Samoa Islands and he took a risk and he is dreaming that someday he will have a name from his arts and dream catcher, maybe not here but in the other land . I miss you Kuya
