Remembering My Trip to Stratford Upon Avon, Shakespeare's Birthplace

It seems that I haven't updated this blog for some days. Sorry folks, I am quite busy offline doing a lot of chores in the house especially cleaning the dust caused by the little renovation we are having right now. July is here! I just wish everyone a wonderful one.

Here are some pictures taken during my three weeks vacation in England. These were taken in Stratford Upon Avon, one of the cities we visited.

This building is the birthplace of the famous poet and playwriter William Shakespeare.
The second image below is the Avon River that flows in Stratford, thus the name Stratford Upon Avon.

Talking with HB

Wow, I can't imagine that July is already here! I hope you had a great start of the month. I just watched a very good TV program tonight. While watching, I was the same time talking with HB. I told him that the man in the TV program needs a hair growth shampoo because he is quite bald. HB answered that its his problem and I don't have to worry about it. What a smart answer. I am thankful that I still have a quite black thick hair. Anyway, the TV program that we watched was a very informative one. Now it is over and it is time for me to slowly give you some updates. More in my other sites.

Yellow Flowers and the Horses

We just happened to pass-by this house as we went walking yesterday. I believed that these flowers are perennial ones and I want to have them in our garden also. I will see if I can find some of these this week when I will visit a garden center.

I also have a picture of the horses below. This was taken during a parade we witnessed yesterday. I guess that's all for now. It's time to go to bed. Have a wonderful week to all!

View From Our Window

Hello peeps! I am here again to give you a little update. I am sharing an image taken during my vacation in my home country. This is the beautiful view from our window. HB said that he want to retire in this small paradise in the future.... in God's will. I also miss this scene. During my vacation this year, I always look at this window every time and wake up. During the afternoon, I also love to watch the sunset over the horizon. Such an amazing scenery!

Summer is Finally Here!

Summer is finally here! I just found out in the calendar that yesterday was already the beginning of summer season in our country. Sad to say the weather is still not so nice. It has been raining for the past days and I am hoping that the weather will be friendly soon. Me and some good friends of mine are already planning to go swimming to the pool in the nearby town. One friend said that we can also go swimming to the lake or river in Rotsee. I told her that I wanted to go swimming in a right pool where the water is cleaned and disinfected with swimming pool supplies like chlorine or salt water chlorinator. We are just waiting till the weather will be right friendly and sunny. The weather forecast in our place mentioned that tomorrow will be a sunny one. We will see because summer time is the best time for outdoor! Enjoy your summer folks!

Home Sweet Home in Cebu, Philippines

I believed there is always no place like home. I found my second home in Germany but Philippines will always be my home. My family is currently living in the Province of Cebu in the Philippines. Cebu is also consists of different cities and islands. You can see a lot of intresting sights in Cebu City and other parts of the island. One of the best things I love here are the white beaches like in Malapascua or Bantayan island. Here are some images from our place somewhere in the south part of Cebu.

the terrace in our house facing the sea.

Cebu (Cebuano:Sugbo) is a province in the Philippines, consisting of Cebu island and 167 surrounding islands. It is located to the east of Negros, to the west of Leyte and Bohol islands. Cebu is a long narrow island stretching 225 kilometers from north to south, surrounded by 167 neighbouring, smaller islands, which include Mactan, Bantayan, Malapascua, Olango and the Camotes Islands. Cebu has narrow coastlines, limestone plateaus and coastal plains. It also has rolling hills and rugged mountain ranges traversing the northern and southern lengths of the island. Cebu's highest mountains are over 1000 meters high. Flat tracts of land can be found in the towns of Bogo, San Remigio, Medellin and Daanbantayan at the northern region of the province. Its capital is Cebu City, the oldest city in the Philippines which forms part of the Cebu Metropolitan Area together with four neighbouring cities which include Danao City, Lapu-Lapu City, Mandaue City and Talisay City and eight other municipalities.
