Yes - G'day To All!



Welcome to the new family blog, a place of excitement, a place of intrigue, a place of extreme mystery.
Hmmmmmmm
Ain't I full of it today?
You will actually likely get none of the above at all, thought saucy karaoke night photos are a very distinct possibility, perhaps as soon as the blog entry to follow this one.
So why the need for a blog site covering the escapades of just one boring Aussie family?
I suppose it is mostly to help with all those 'So what you been up to' enquiries by family and friends. It also makes it easier to share photos of what we have been doing without distributing to a wide variety of different email addresses.
The reason for keeping it private is so the whole world does not have to suffer the boredom of our, less than riveting, existence. It is also so they do not have to run the risk of heart attack from experiencing photos taken at the previously mentioned karaoke nights.

The last two years have been one of change, especially for me.
Where once our free time was spent sitting around the house, looking at walls, relying on a trip to the toilet as being my only exciting outing for the weekend. Today, following a birthday for our close friend Maria, I have become more a part of the Filipino scene out here.
The Filipinos know how to live life and have fun. Weekly parties, hanging out together, sloshing down the Tanduay Rum, mahjong, smutty karaoke parties. Its a life us Aussies don't know how to live and one that I have become quite accustomed to.

PHOTO: Australia Day this year saw us go into the city with Jason to check out the annual Motorfest, although by the time he rocked up we were already overdue to be down Chinatown to see the lovely Annabelle and her mum.
Motorfest is really only for those who appreciate old cars. For me its the Holdens, the other makes, especially FORD, really seeming to be a terrible waste of metal that could be otherwise used elsewhere, like in Holdens.
Ana is trying her luck on one of those games where you have to wind a ring around a length of wire without touching them together. I am sure there is an official name for it, however she only got half way and won only a bag full of commercial bollocks.

I honestly think Aussies know how to party just they do it in a different way.

It may just be not as good as the Filipinos or Brazilians e.t.c.
