Every
hard work deserves a day off so I took mine on a long weekend in
celebration of the Queen's birthday on the 6th of June. We were on a one
and a half hour flight to Brisbane wrapped in layered clothing and
jacket only to land in a sunny city. I guess one can call it love at
first sight and it seriously brought me to thinking that God must love
them locals soo much, they get to keep the sun more often compared to
the other states.
Surfers Paradise is true to its name. It was for me an urban version of Boracay. At Movieworld, I relived my childhood by posing with batman and robin as well as tweety.
I also
took, along with the mister, a daring ride at the lethal weapon, which in my
opinion is the most deadly ride in that theme park. A holiday is not
complete without shopping and Harbourtown just blew my wallet away-
well not too much as we got there at 4pm and they closed at 5:30pm. That
6-hour return drive to
Towoomba was well worth it having met Asraf and
his beautiful family. We spent our last day with friends who made it
extra special. Their offer to look after the kids when we have them made
moving there even more tempting.

| Gran Family Anniversary and Birthday Party |
How privileged we were to have
witnessed their celebration of 18 years in marriage and their younger
son's 15th birthday.
It was a truly fantastic experience and I'm sure it won't be our last. On our own, we would probably pack our bags and move without batting an eyelash. But we both know that we needed to stay on our knees and seek God on the matter. In the meantime, what we do have is a beautiful memory and happy thoughts of that trip.

OMG, I’m so impressed with you to come up with such an initiative so good, and for writing that well.
Honestly, I wholly forgot that your wandering to Brissy coincided with our 18th years of marriage. That was 4 years ago. We're now on our 22nd this year. Had I not followed the link you told me I wouldn’t have been reminded. And those pics, so good to look at. So much have changed since then, one very notable is how I increased in dimension hahahaha. And the boys how they’ve grown so fast - mga mama na sila ngayon.
What else can I say, you impressed me with your blogsite and your writing. Continue doing so as I’m very sure anyone who will read your story will find it interesting and stimulating.
The next time you think of vacation, come to Brisbane. It is very much different now from how it used to be. And what about your plans in moving here? Do it while kids are still small. I always believe Brissy is the best place in raising family. Jobwise, there’s plenty of it now as Brissy is dubbed as one of the fastest growing cities in the world. Influx of people from other states and new arrivals in the country is happening in big number. Brisbane is booming Yan. Trust me on this.
Give my regards to Jones and the kids.
