Salamat my friends and sorry for not being able to reply right now!
Yesterday I received a huge amount of kind feedback, messages and Likes by Filipinos from at home and abroad. It is unbelievable and I never thought that this would take off as it did. The article I shared here with all of you was just my humble way of saying thank you and giving back a little. Yesterday was also my birthday and you all gave me the best present ever. Thank you all so much. Support like that really keeps me motivated and going. Maraming Salamat my Filipino Friends.
At the same time I found myself unable to reply to the comments you posted as they number more than 600 by now. That is unbelievable and I would really like to thank each and everyone of you for it. I usually reply to each comment individually because I think of it as respect for the people who take their time reading my posts – people like you. I want to apologize that I am not able to do it this time. Be assured that I value your support a lot and that I won’t ever forget. If you have any urgent inquiries, get in touch via Facebook as it seems to be better manageable for me at this time.
Thank you guys! You rock!
I read some of your beautiful posts. I am half german , half Filipina who now lives in germany. I only got to see few of the islands and beaches back home, but thanks for showing me that there is still so much to see. 🙂 that would be my next agenda if ever i do get back home for a vacation soon : lie down on a hammock beside the sea, on one of the small islands, and just delve and bury myself in the exquisite beauty of nature around me. Cheers! 🙂
Hi Lara, where abouts do you live in Germany and what do you do? If you ever need some tips for going back and designing a nice itinerary, let me know 😉
belated happy birthday 🙂
Thanks so much! 😉
Where’s your next destination?
Hehe, I don’t know yet, gotta earn some money first and then see…. I wanna come back to the Phils so for sure. Just to much to see there 😉
🙂
Smiley back, hehe 😉
Belated happy birthday, Phil! Hope you had a good one! Cheers from Manila. 🙂
Thanks Mae, I had a good day. All the positive messages were the best present ever 😉
Happy Birthday in English, Maligayang Kaarawan in Filipino and Alles Gute zum Geburstag auf Deutsch!
Vielen Dank! 🙂
Owne, great German my friend. Danke schön. I appreciate the kind wishes. All the best!
Its Oweng my friend, anyway Thanks. I learn German for 2 years and all I can say is “Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch! Ich bin nicht fleissend” Deutsch is a beautiful language but i got hard time studying it. Anyway, its fun learning the language. We also learn songs like Muss I Denn, Hanschen Klein und Edelweiss. We also watched movies, Im Juli and Das Boot, awesome movies. Anyway Congrats also to Germany for winning the 2014 FIFA World Cup! 🙂
Hi Oweng, wie geht es dir? I know, German is a tough language to learn for sure. I even did bad at some tests back in school, lol. Yes, the World Cup was great. A great night yesterday. Historical.
Happy belated, Phillipp. I wish you all the best and hit me up when you get to visit LA! Mabuhay ka!
Hi Lawrence, sure will. Who know, maybe I will pass by some day. Thanks for the invite!
