My parents flew in from Sydney this morning. I woke up to the sound of my dad's voice, anouncing that they were home. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, then ran downstairs into my mom and dad's open arms.

Oh how I missed them! We helped them with their luggage and they began to open up various boxes that contained chocolates, Australian goodies, cans of yummy Hamper corn beef, and of course, TONS of clothes for my siblings and I. Ah, the perfect souvenir.

My sister had requested for tank tops and halters, but I on the other hand had requested for long sleeves, hoodies, and other preppy clothes. I consider myself VERY conservative. I rarely wear skirts or sleeveless tops, and I usually prefer 'smart casual' outfits. I detest wearing miniskirts and tank tops. Call me old-fashioned, but I'm perfectly happy with my taste in clothing.

My family and I had lunch in Greenbelt, to celebrate both my Father's birthday and their arrival. We ate in Rockefeller, this really cute Seafood and Steak restaurant. We ordered so much food, and they were all absolutely delectable. We also shared this mouthwatering Molten Chocolate Lava Cake on the Skillet for desert. It had a scoop of Vanilla ice cream on top, and it was delicious!

Afterwards, we went to Duty Free and bought more goodies. My family and I are very practical. We don't buy the stuff you can buy in the Philippines. Instead, we purchase those that can only be bought in other countries.

I'm really overjoyed because I missed my parents, and I thank God for protecting them against any danger, and for looking after their things and their plane. It's good to have them back.
