Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful day! Not really a perfect one for me! I am not feeling good since three days now. I guess, I was caught by cough and cold which is not really good. I have running nose and teary eyes at the moment and still thankful that I can still do some home chores and online tasks. I hope, I will be backed to my normal health and condition again, since there are just a lot of things to do both online and offline.
Back to then main topic: I should be the one who want to move to Canada but I guess it is quite difficult for my situation now. One reason is to find a good and better job in that English-speaking country. Another reason is to explore more countries and continents. This is the traveling part of me!
Last year, I met a very good friend during my travel in Madrid, Spain. She worked there for some years already but for some reasons, she decided to move to Canada. I believed it is because of the better job in Canada that she will be getting than in Spain. I am happy for her that she finally had her wish granted. She even invited me last year to visit her somewhere in Ontario, Canada. I was in Vancouver, Canada and in some cities and states in the United States last year but never had the chance to visit Ontario.
Moving can be a very stressful and complicated decision. This is especially true if you are moving the whole house and your family with you. Thanks to some companies like the movers in ottawa who provides services with regards to moving. They have the professionals who can help you in your moving and packing needs. Whether it is a business, residential or storage services, they car surely help you with these areas.
I am glad that my friend and many of my classmates and schoolmates had passed the tests of moving to another country and so do I! I am truly grateful about it!
simply make a positive difference!! life..love..dreams..destiny..ideas...opinions..experiences...

Thanksgiving 2012
Thanksgiving celebration is over for our American friends. Do you only express thanksgiving during this day or everyday of your life? If you have to ask me, I am always trying my best to give thanks everyday for many things and happenings that comes my way.
Thanksgiving is one of the biggest celebrations and holidays for our American friends. It has been an annual tradition since 1863. President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens", to be celebrated on Thursday. Now it is celebrated every fourth Thursday of the months of November.
I had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving day with friends yesterday. At lunch time, one of my friends invited me to go with them in the US Base near our area. In their Dining Facility or DiFac, a lot of foods were served to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.
I also attended two parties of my friends last night. I am grateful for meeting wonderful people around. Thank you for your friendship and for letting me partake in your Thanksgiving banquet.

Friend's Baby Shower
Hello folks! How's your Saturday? I hope you had a nice one. I had a wonderful time during a friend's baby shower today. It was my second time to attend such kind of celebration. Germans usually don't do that. Giving of presents only takes place when the baby is already born. Thanks to Filipino-American friends for inviting me. I truly enjoyed it. The baby shower for Ge was a success and I believed that she was very happy about it.
Everyone had fun during the said gathering especially the games that were played. A lot of food were also prepared by friends. The opening of the presents for the incoming baby was the highlight of the program. It was truly a wonderful and enjoyable celebration. Thanks to good friends for making it happened.
Wishing Ge a safe and sound delivery soon. God bless you!

A Friend Loves Art and Crafts
I had a lunch in a friend's house yesterday. I found out that she has already a table for her craft stuffs on her dining room. She is busy preparing some invitations for a friend's baby shower. Together with another friends, I am not quite sure if they save the date cards from invitationbox.com. I would love to give her stuffs for scrapbooking and other art and crafts items. I admire her having the patience of doing all those things. How I wish I am but I am always occupied with a lot of things. In fact, I already left my scrapbook for a year now. I hope to find time in finishing the one that I already started.
Take care folks and wishing everyone a wonderful month of October.

True Friendship
Friendship is such a wonderful gift
and it is always a nice feeling
when we have good friends around.
Friendship does not mean that we need to talk everyday
but once in awhile it is always good
to hear thoughtful words from a friend.
Friendship does not mean
that we have to see each other everyday
but it is always nice to reminisce
some memorable moments
that we spent with friends.
I am very thankful that I have good
and yes, great friends around!
I felt truly blessed.
Thank you so much to all friends
who are always true and loyal.

Below is a rose that I am giving to all my friends out there. This is a rose from our garden flourished with love and care just for you. This was taken last summer time 2010. The saying below also came out to my mind some minutes ago. I just can't stop sharing it here.
"Friendship is not a competition.
It is a matter of give and take relation".

Escapades With Friends
It was raining dogs and cats yesterday but I still need to go out and have fun with friends. I have no choice but to drive to the Motorway despite the strong rain. Thanks God that I arrived safely in Neumarkt. Another friend was waiting for me there because we have to drive again to another friend in Moening. I also have to see this other friend to give some important papers. These are invitations for my sister and brother whom I want to visit us here in Germany in the next coming months.
After taking our lunch, we proceeded to Berle in Berching to go swimming. We had a lot of fun there especially in the jacuzzi. We only stayed around three hours in Berle because Maria's Mother-in-law prepared a small despedida or goodbye party for Maria's sister who had a flight this afternoon back to the Philippines. That was a great afternoon seeing good friends again. I am sharing some photos from yesterday's escapade with friends.
I also wish everyone a happy and wonderful weekend! Have fun!

Weekend Escapades!
I got some great weekends! I spent it with good old friends! Saturday a friend and her family visited us and spent some time for lunch or dinner. I don't know exactly how to call it because we ate around 4pm already. After we ate, we drove to Regensburg and did some shopping in Donau Einkaufscentrum or Danube Shopping Center. It was a great day seeing friends again.
Yesterday, we visited back Maria, the first Filipina friend I met in Germany. It was also a lot of fun yesterday. Maria and family had a barbeque party because it was their first wedding anniversary. Time just passed so quickly that we don't notice it sometimes. The family circles of Maria's husband were in the grill party. It was a great afternoon because the weather was also perfect for grilling and get together! I am just sharing some photos from weekend's escapades! Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

Such a great day!
Spring time is finally here! Today was a very nice sunny weather. It was a perfect time to go out again and visit some friends! One friend I visited prepared some food which I love. Those Filipino food are lumpia spring roll and adobo. I ate a lot again. Winter is over and I guess, it is a time for me to go out again and do some exercise to lose some fat or weight? I know that I gained some kilos again especially that I don't have the appetite to go walking in the cold winter time. I guess one solution to eradicate excess weight is to take a diet pill. Agree with me guys? I hope so but we have to find the right one which is really effective and don't have side effects. have a great evening to all! It is time for me to slowly sign-off!

Great and Memorable Christmas Party
Happy Holidays! It was truly a great party and celebration last night. We were invited with some other old and new friends in a gathering. It was really an amazing one. The fun especially the karaoke, dancing, singing, kidding, laughing and the joy that you can see in everybody's face are simply overwhelming! Don't forget to mention the banquet of lots of food! This is always the best part of the party. Without food, it will never be as successful when the stomach is empty. I am happy to meet especially my old friends who are always trustful and loyal.
I guess I have to start mentioning the food here which is always the most interesting part. I really can't imagine the food that were prepared last night. I guess it was good for fifty people. Actually there were only around eleven people who attended the awesome party. Ritchel and hubby prepared a big Ham, roasted turkey (already sliced when served), mashed potato, its gravy, stuffing, the yummy crabs, sweet and sour shrimps (cooked by yours truly for the first time), punch juice, pumpkin pie, bread and butter, fruit salad and fresh fruits were also served. Danna prepared spaghetti, pancit and lumpia. Of course I also cooked my favorite recipes adobo, bola-bola with tomato sauce, cassava cake, potato salad, vegetable salad and the favorite of all, my specialty I guess menudo apritada..Oooppps, don't forget the rice. Wine and beer were also served. After drinking the girls kept on dancing with the hiphop music!! such an enjoyable moments!
A short prayer was led by yours truly before the eating started. I guess everyone was confused of what food to take first. Some tried a little bit of it so that they can have rooms in their stomach for all the food. There were really a lot of left-overs that everyone had to take home with them. It was really a great party that before it ended a group picture was taken. As usual camera timer was used again. The group picture turned out to be a perfect one! It was also funny because at least four cameras were set to timer that everyone don't know exactly where to look. At least, it was still a great shot!
This Christmas celebrated with friends was really full of memories which made it unique and truly wonderful. Thanks to old and new friends who had renewed a bonding in this gathering. There might be other gathering in the future but last night was just so incredible that everyone went home contented and happy. Most of all, thanks to our Great God who helped us made this gathering a successful one. His love and goodness are truly overflowing that we were blessed with good friends around.
This year was truly full of challenges and trials. Despite of it, God's blessings and graces are just so much that we had successfully overcome everything. We keep on hoping and praying that the next years to come will be a more successful one!~ God is truly great!!
p.s. feel free to visit my other sites for more photos!!
sorry forgot to open the food cover when taking pictures.. the table was so full that the other food were served in the kitchen...forget to take a photo of the food in the kitchen..

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!!

How are you guys!!
How are you doing guys? Time passes by so quickly. I forgot to greet you about the second Ber month. It's the first week of October now. I know a lot of people are excited for the coming of Christmas time. I also believed that some are also starting to pack and wrap their presents for Christmas gifts for their love ones and friends. I am sending again a balikbayan box this month to my family back home. To all my friends out there, I know I don't talk too much to you anymore because I am just too busy with my little home business (monkey business kuno..wink!!). ..I even don't have the time to do blog hopping..I hope I can do it next time. Sometimes I am visiting some blogs too but I can't visit all..So please accept my apology..
I also would like to express my gratitude to friends who help me especially in giving me infos about blogging. I really appreciate it!! I am happy to know some people in the blogosphere who are really helping with all their heart and don't expect for any return. I know more blessings will come to you!! I also know one person who have been telling people that without her I can't start blogging...kasi parang pinalalabas niya na kung di dahil sa kanya di ako kikita ng pera!! jelly jelly ka lang ano!! Of course, I can!! I know that "suya" lang siya kay di man siya kabalo mu english....aw kahibalo diay pero baliko....Aminin!!...In fact when you visit her blog and find perfect English there, it's her husband who is writing it. O di ba totoo...aminin rin!! I am not a grammar expert but I can write simple words...Ewan bakit meron talagang mga tao na nagseselos sa tagumpay ng ibang tao....Bakit may mga taong nagkukunwari para lang ma-impress yung ibang mga tao??magpakatotoo ka sister!! ayan sana naman matuto ka na at magkaroon ng lesson sa mga nangyari sa buhay mo lalo na ang dahilan kung bakit iniwanan ka ng mga kaibigan mo!!....Pasalamat ka at may nauuto ka pa sigurong kaibigan sa online na naniniwala sa pagkukunwari at pagsisinungaling mo...Tingnan mo muna ang sarili mo bago ka magsalita ng masama sa ibang tao!! Huwag ka ring magsinungaling dahil masama yan!! ..Payong kapatid, ay mali ata..noon pala yun, ngayon hindi na!! Please naman iwasan mo na rin ang pagiging HITACHI!! di mo alam ang ibig sabihin nito??...email or YM mo lang ako...I'll let you know!!Ok lang kung totoo ang sinasabi mo, pero halos sinungaling pa naman lalo na at naninira ka ng ibang tao!! at ako nga ay iyong naging biktima pati pa yung iba mong kaibigan...pagkatapos mo kaming utangan!!! kapal naman ng apog mo!! Understand, kasabot, intiende, verstehe!!!! Pasensiya na kung nagsasabi ako ng totoo!! Eto pa ang huli iwasan mo rin ang pagyayabang dahil sa totoo lang wala ka talagang maipagyayabang......Hay ambot lang nagyawyaw naman diay ko diri!! syalan gud!! But anyway, thanks for telling me about blogging when in fact I already know about it since I joined friendster in 2004 but I just can't do it because I am working full time that time!!! Pasensiya na mga higala..unsaon man mao ma ni ang usa ka part sa blogging di ba....rants...rants...rants...in short pagawas sa gibati!! ang di kasabot pasensiya na....bahala kamo dira!!! hehehe..Ilongo to ba!!

I know I still need to know a lot of things about blogging and I can't deny that. Once again, thanks a lot to all friends who really extend their helping hands, their time and effort in giving me infos about blogging!!

Conversation With a Friend
I had a conversation with a friend from United Kingdom last Friday through Yahoo Messenger. Thanks to this yahoo free service anyway. I have not seen this friend of mine ever since I left my home town. We were talking about the fun we had before back in the school days. I also mentioned to her that I will be coming to United Kingdom at the last week of this month. She told me that I am always welcome to her apartment. She also want to have some days off when I come there so we can also see more friends working and living in the UK. I told her that is a cool idea!! Before anything else, I went downstairs tonight to watch TV because my husband said that the keyboard computer is so loud that he can't sleep so fast. I decided to go down then. An extension cable fell-down at the back of the TV and I have a hard time getting it. I guess having a tv lift cabinet is a good idea. What do you think..I really need to sign off now!! Goodnight everyone!!

A Very Sad True Story and a Prayer for My Friend
I was shocked today after I read the message in my friendster inbox. The message is from my sister's friend who is also my friend and like a little sister to me. The message which was sent yesterday says like this ;
Date: 09/29/2008 11:19 am
Subject: just to let u know...
Message:
hi ate rubz,
just to let u know ate grace passed away last aug. 9, 2008. nanaginip man gud ko sa iya last night telling me for not informing u. sorry po!
joy
I just read it today and I didn't realized that tears were already fulling from my eyes after reading it. My chest is even harden until now after I read again another message coming from her sister, the reasons why she passed. I just can't imagine and ask why???? My friend's name is Grace. She had been a very good friend of mine in College days. I am also very close to her family back in Midsayap. She was my former classmate and I really treasured the friendship we had. Grace is really one in a million!! This post is dedicated to her and I hope and pray that she rest in peace with our Creator now. She is just so young, in her mid thirty's just like me. I had a great time with her back in College days.
How can you imagine that!!!...she already passed-away but came back thru a dream in her sister just to tell me that she already passed-away. I was really deeply touched that a dear dead friend of mine still remember me!! I know I have been a good friend to her and she had been always a good friend to me too. I know I can' t forget all the memories, the friendship and the beautiful moments we shared before in Midsayap.
It was really a very sad happening or even a traumatic experience when our dear friend or loved ones will passed away. To you Grace, I promise to keep our memory. I know I might not express my love for you as a friend but deep in my heart you are always there..You're great and you're one in a million.!! You will never be forgotten especially by your family and good friends out there!!
I love you Grace and I pray that your soul will rest in peace.
To all my friends out there especially the ones who came from my home country, my friends both online and offline, I might not be sending you messages all the time or might be talking to you everyday but I want to let you know that you are always in my mind and in my heart. God bless us all..Thanks for all your friendship and camaraderie!!
Please also pray for the soul of Grace and all souls who passed-away in this world.

“True friends are the ones who never leave your heart, even if they leave your life for awhile. Even after years apart, you pick up with them right where you left off, and even if they die they're never dead in your heart.”
“I haven't seen you in a while, yet I often imagine all your expressions. I haven't spoken to you recently, but many times I hear your thoughts. Good friends must not always be together. It is the feeling of oneness, when distant that proves a lasting”
