Party at home

August 11, 2008

There’s a party going on at our home back in the Philippines right now…it’s mom’s birthday today (it’s already evening over there) and she invited some relatives and friends for dinner. I could just imagine how they prepared for the celebration, from cooking to cleaning and sprucing up the place. Too bad I’m not there to help in the preparation.

Anyway, cleaning up and tidying up a house can be challenging especially if you lack the space. That’s why there are lots of space-saving furniture that helps with this dilemma… just like sofa beds which can be folded and kept easily, or those TV lifts for neatly storing audio and video equipment.

At the Vyšehrad castle

Yesterday we went to another tourist attraction here in Prague, the Vyšehrad castle. It was a long walk to reach the Cathedral of Saint Paul and Saint Peter. We also climbed uphill to reach the massive walls of the castle fortress where we had a grand view of the city of Prague. On our way home, we even dropped by Tesco for some groceries.

I felt so exhausted and sleepy, my legs were so tired. Well, at least we had a nice afternoon at the castle particularly with the breathtaking view of the Prague cityscape, and another good thing was that we lost few pounds with that long walk! Yup, no need for prescription diet pills to slim down with all that walking we did yesterday.
