Filipino Xmas Party

I got every year a Christmas party invitation from a friend whom I first met here in Germany. In fact she had helped me a lot especially during my marriage. She is one of the great and good friends I have here. We seldom talk and meet each other but the warm of friendship is always there. Thanks a lot Chat for the invitation. Honestly this is the first time I attended this big Filipino Christmas party here in Germany due to some unavoidable circumstances. . Hundreds of people where there and they came from different parts of Germany. I might not know all these people but I am happy to see them enjoyed the party. I met some old friends to and chatted with them. Each and everyone was just busy meeting old acquaintances. There was a live band and good Filipino singers and entertainers which made this party a successful one. Special thanks to the organizers and people who helped and made this party a successful, joyful and memorable one!! Merry Christmas to all of you!! keep up the great job!!

some people dancing, singer, eating or simply enjoyed the memorable night here

Seeing A friend

I was very happy to see a friend last Wednesday. She is a Brazilian and was my classmate when I attended German language school from 2006-2007. She had been calling me a lot of times at home but as the time she was calling me I was always in vacation. After my husband's reminders I finally called and talked to her last Sunday and told her to meet last Wednesday..I am happy for her because she already started her business, a bar cafe in Neumarkt. At least she is happy and contented now. We went a bit shopping in Neumarkt and after that we ate at their home where she cooked some Brazilian food. I love it! It is almost the same on how we cook our food. We had a great time last Wednesday. She was also happy to see me again since the last time we saw each other during her birthday last April of this year. Even we seldom see each other but the good friendship is always there.. It is one thing that makes me happy too, having good friends like her. happy weekend to all!!

p.s...the photo here is the Latinos Bar cafe of my Brazilian friend..cool place to have fun!!

Save your Money by Saving Energy

Three years ago, we are paying around 220 euros for our monthly electric bill. That is around $290 every month. Last 2005, my husband built a small fireplace inside the house. All our heater in the house are run by electric. We are still using it now but seldom. Most heaters are already shut down especially in the first floor because we are already using our wooden fireplace which give enough warm . Last 2006 we were surprised because we had a savings of almost 1,500 euros which was returned to our account. We are very happy because now we are only paying 130 euros every month. Me and my husband still find some ways to save our power. I know some of our bulbs are energy saving ones. I am not sure if we are using led light bulbs because I just read that it save more power and energy compared to normal incandescent bulbs. Thanks to the info given by Green and More. Me and my husband are working hand-in-hand to save everything in the house. Saving energy also means saving our environment and your money too!! how about you?

Visit to Gut Aiderbichl in Austria

the shop inside the animal kingdom!! this was taken in Gut Aiderbichl in Austria last Nov. 23, 2008. We also visited Salzburg after this place and witness their Christmas market there. I had a lot of fun here with a friend..just google this place and you find it!!

My Sister's Home Theater Seating

I was surprised by my sister's home theater seating in Las Vegas. It is huge and with motion recliner features. I was more surprised when she told me how much it cost. Three thousand dollars as in $3,000.00!!! What!! I told her that with this money you can already have a small business back home. Today I found out in Star Gate Cinema that they have very cheap home theater seating. For as low as $1,500.00, you can already have a nice and comfortable ones. I guess my sister also needs home theater sconces to make their living room more attractive and beautiful. I even helped her last time in decorating it a bit. I hope that my sister will be a wise buyer and consumer with all the crisis happening around. Good night to all!! see you again tomorrow!!
