Patrick
St. Patrick Day, ( March 17) is a national holidays in Ireland. Usually St. Patrick falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish Families traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink, and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.
Here in our house we also celebrated the St. Patrick´s Day. One of my twins has his name, which means he has a Name day ( in Slovenia they called it GỞD). Here in Slovenia is a tradition that giving a name to the person base on the Christian Calendar. Everybody they have their own name day or Saint, usually the name day fall one day before your birthday. It means people here in Slovenia celebrated their birthday twice Name day and Bday.
Maybe your wondering why my son has a different name. Actually both of them have an Irish name even Joshua my eldest twins. I hate the slovenian names but not all. Names here are too short and very difficult to pronounced maybe because they have a different letters and accent.

These are Pinay´s who are living in Slovenia. Last year it was the first time we had a picnic party. 15 All in all Pinay or Pinoy lived here but there two who didnt make it. Picnic party was held in Gina house in Bistrica. Three pairs are sisters. Majority of us met our spouses thru the internet others penpal, others in the philippines. This reunion was published on the Local newspaper ( Panaroma). Slovenians journalist or newpapersman or newspaperwomen love to interview the foreigners especially those who married the Slovenians. Even our Love story was publish local newspaper. Now where ever I go people new that im not from here. They also called me ( chinese girl not a filipina). Even when I was in the Hospital all Doctors and Nurses ask me if I was in the newspaper a year ago and I said yes. Funny thing is that«they remember my name« ( Leticia Calderon from Mexican soap opera). But very soon I will get my citizenship here. Hopefully this year.
Then second time we had a reunion was before Christmas. We met again another new filipinaś and their spouses also. Also we invite the Philippine consul here in Ljubljana. This month another Pinay who will come in Slovenia. As you can see Pinay or Pinoy love to marry the slovenians. Life here is really very nice, clean environment, quiet country, friendly people and nice culture and ofcourse verycold brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....
This coming spring were planning to have a reunion again this time between the Labour day in slovenian while in the Philippines Independence day.
Abangan.................
