I am a Green Shopper

So, what keeps me busy today? Autumn time is here now and we need to slowly save the plants that we have outside. We are already having below zero temperature in the night and I noticed that a lot of plants and flowers in our garden are slowly withering. After doing some arrangements in my chaotic PC room, I decided to slowly bring some plants and flowers inside the house. For sure, I will be doing some green shopping again next year because there are some plants that are not coming back. Unlike perennial plants that keep on coming back every year, I don't need to put them inside the house. I wish I can have a conservatory for my plants to live all year long. Probably when I will win in the lottery.

Here are some tulips from last spring 2010. I will be seeing more next spring time because I planted more this month.

The beauty of golden October is truly amazing!

Chaos in the House

How's your day folks? I hope you had a great one. I believed Thursday is my busiest day of the week. I always go grocery shopping during this day. Sometimes when there are really stuffs that we need in the house, I also drive to the nearby town to get it. Speaking of chaos in the house, there is just a problem with the faucet in our bathroom. I don't really mean a chaos as if me and my hubby are fighting. Hubby don't like chaos anyway and of course me too. It is always a nice feeling to live a peaceful life. I also found out that our bathroom sink needs replacement already. This is one of the projects we need to do next year, bathroom renovation. That is also the reason why I am slowly searching for bathroom ideas in catalogues and also online. Back to the faucet problem, it just keep on dropping. I believed there is something wrong with the handle replacement cartridge. Hubby will fix it this coming weekend. I am proud of hubby because he can simply do everything in the house from plumbing to electrical, mechanical and yes, sometimes fixing our cars. It is a good way of saving some bucks. Right folks? See you in my other sites. Good evening!

Random Image from Rome, Italy

It is a great experience visiting the city that is the dream of many including me. Rome which has been given a nickname, "Eternal City" is truly a wonderful place to visit. It's history spans now for around 2,500 years. It is the capital of Italy and the country's largest and most populated city.

Here is an image of Vatican City in Rome taken during our visit last August 2010. You can see the famous San Pietro or St. Peter's Square on the left side of the image.

Unique Gift Ideas for Special Occassion

Hello folks! I can't imagine that we are already on the first day of the month called "golden" October. I guess you know what I mean when I say "golden". It is because, now is Autumn time and the trees around are turning into different colors. I am also quite excited because I know for sure that I will receive again some anniversary gifts from hubby. Time truly flies-by so fast. In around three weeks, we will be celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary. I still have the 5th anniversary gifts that hubby gave to me two years ago.

I am not really demanding like other wives out there. I am already contented with small things that hubby gave to me as long as it is coming from the heart. I always told him that I don't need anything because I can buy it myself. Of course, I will be happy too if I receive anniversary gifts from him. Probably this time, I would ask for a very simple present. I love cooking and I never use aprons. I always need it because I cook almost everyday. This time, I could ask hubby to buy me one or two. I found very nice ones online. What do you think with the red and black colors here? I love it! These are simply unique ideas for special occasion. I am happy too because I will be having my new notebook PC in a few days. Anyone who is looking for some 5th anniversary gifts out there? I guess you know where to go now.

I wish you all a great month of October!

Visit to the Oktoberfest 2010 in Munich

I believed most of you are very familiar about Oktoberfest known as the largest fair in the world. For others, Oktoberfest simply means Beerfest. It is usually a 16-day celebration held in Theresienwiese in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It usually starts during the last week of September and ends sometime on the first week of October and is celebrated every year. Oktoberfest has been a part of Bavarian culture since 200 years. It only started as a wedding festival of King Ludwig I of Bavaria.

Without further adieu, here are some images taken during our third visit last October 19, 2010.

Sometimes and even most of the time, all beer tents are always full during the festival. You better reserve your seats if ever you really want to spend time inside a beer tent.

That is the Paulaner beer tent in the background and someone is striking a pose too!

1081 Post

The month of September is almost ending. We are heading to the next Ber month which is October. I can't imagine that this post is already my 1081 in this blog. Imagine over a thousand posts for almost three years of blogging and that is only for this blog? I started blogging since 2004 but put a concentration to it in 2007. I still have other blogs which have over a thousand posts in it. My special mention for tonight's 1081 post is about hgh, also known as human growth hormone. I am not really an expert about this topic but I read some information about it online. This is somewhat related to somatropin which refers to growth hormone produced by recombinant DNA technology. I also heard about the term hormone during a visit to my dermatologist some years ago. It is about some sort of hormonal problems that he was explaining to me which had caused my acne problem.

Lastly, I am happy and contented to be part of the blogosphere. Thanks to all friends who had helped me a lot in making my blogging experience better and happier.
