Going to the World's Biggest Festival, the Oktoberfest

Don't you know that  Oktoberfest is the biggest festival in the  world? Yes, it is! It is visited by around 6 million of tourists  worldwide  and locals as well.  It is already a part of Bavarian tradition . There are a lot of  fun and entertainment you can experience there. Listening to the live bands inside the beer tents using TC Helicon music gadgets, carnival rides, tasting  local and international delicacies and many things that will truly entertain you.

I already experienced many festivals in Germany. One of  my  favorite things to do is going  inside the beer tents and listen to the Bavarian music. If you are interested about their culture and tradition, you will find Bavarian music very interesting.

I am contented that I have been to the world's largest festival many times. Yes, I was there for the fourth time already. I want to visit it again this year.

Remembering Madrid, Spain's Capital City

I had a quick exchange of messages from a friend  in Madrid this afternoon. She was asking me when I am going back to Madrid. I replied when I have a budget, I will immediately go back there.  I love Madrid and so far visiting Spain's capital city is history for me. You know why? this is the only capital city in Europe where I stayed for  three weeks and where I explored most of its corners. It was a long story why it happened.

Here are some images I took during my trip to Madrid almost a year ago. I believed one day, I will be visiting it again.

View of Alcala Street and Gran Via Street. This is where I walk many times in going around the city.

College Ring for a Dear Sister!

Another sis will be graduating  in nursing soon. She will be the third nurse in the family. So sad that this profession is really not for me.  I  choose another career which is in the financial sector.  I am a banker by profession but now turn  into a travel blogger. Sis was mentioning about college ring. She never had one of those  best high school class rings when she graduated in high  school.  I hope her wish of getting a college ring will come true! Calling for other  nurse sisters in the  US  to give her one. lolz!

I am so proud of my sisters who did  finished their  Bachelors Degree in Nursing. Keep up the good job  sisters and wishing you all the best in your careers!

Fasching, Carnival Photos from Germany

Fasching, Karneval, carnival!  I believed you  know what these words mean. Other countries  celebrate the same festival almost the same way. I witnessed some of it in the towns of Bavaria, Germany.  I always love watching this festival and hope next time, I can already witness the big ones like in Cologne, Dusseldorf and Mainz.

Here are some of the carnival photos I took from last year's carnival parade.

Computer Security

I have  a blogger friend whose site was hacked last week. Sometimes, thing like this can be very scary. You spend time and do hard effort in your blog and it will just  disappear in the web. Good to know that her webmaster was able to fix it. She was so happy after that.

If you own a computer, you must see to it that have an anti-virus installed in it. The ESET Endpoint Security information for example are providing software security solutions for your computers. Hubby's laptop for example has three anti-virus programs installed in it. The disadvantage is, it is slowly processing now. We are trying to decide which anti-virus to retain in it. I already have an idea.

Career in Health Care Industry

Are you still thinking which career to pursue in your life? Are you interested in a profession that is focus on the quality of life of individuals, families and communities? The right profession for you might be in the health care industry. Why not?

Our family is not really in the medical field. I only have three sisters who decided to engage in medical and health field. Two are already registered nurses in the United States of America and the other one is graduating this coming March of this year. I am glad that my sisters chose that profession because they can help improve people's lives by providing health care services.

I am convincing my two RN sisters to further their careers and take master’s degree in nursing courses. Raquel who is in Las Vegas, is planning to take online courses that is related to her career. Rose on the other hand is happy since she will be having her interview this coming Monday. She worked before as a nurse in the hospital back home in the Philippines. She just joined her husband in the US and is currently looking for job in the health care industry. Regz who will be graduating soon is planning to migrate in Australia and also want to work as a nurse.

With the changing environment of health care industry, every nurse are obliged to attend trainings, courses and seminars. It might be in the four corners of a room or by doing it online. Being a nurse is challenging. You have to deal with people in all walks of life, helping them attain a better and quality life. You help people prevent illness and injury. Nurses alleviate the suffering of individuals through diagnosis and treatment.

This is only one of the professions that you can truly be proud of and I am proud of my three sisters who chose to engage in nursing  career. Good luck to you all!
