We took the train from the city to Chatswood.  Beautiful place!!  Geraldine toured me around her area and it was a nice and cozy town.  Everything is nearby where she lived.  The kids school, the police station, the mall, the train station, the church – everything is all one or two blocks away only so you can just walk around easily.  Geraldine told me she did this on purpose to make it easier for all of them to adjust.  Maybe later on move further from the commercial area and be closer to more greens.  Thanks Geraldine for sharing with me your home…I really wanted to get a feel of how it is to live in Australia:-)

This is the area where she lives 

Their beautiful home  

and I get to meet Francis, her husband.  Geraldine has all good things to say about her husband…she is so lucky!  

Francis told me that he is busy training for the Iron Man to be held here in the Philippines in August.   So he swims, bikes and runs everyday!

I did not get to meet the kids because they were all in school- these are old photos of the kids – they are much bigger now 

I liked this photo of Geraldine’s brother, Rico Yan… 

This is their cozy living room 

and home office  

and dining table 

with a nice patio view 

Kitchen 

This is a very important part of Geraldine’s house because this is where she does all her cooking and baking.  She told me she is grateful we had cooking classes in Assumption 🙂 because now she is applying all the cooking lessons we had in highscool.  She prepares all the meals of the family!!  Watch out, Geraldine might be the next Martha Stewart with all the baking and cooking she does now 🙂 And next time, I want to try your homemade tapa!
