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".

I love roses especially from our garden!

December is Finally Here!

Good morning everyone! Wow, I can't believe that December is already here. I hope that we will all be having a wonderful celebration of the holidays. Christmas is in the air. Some of my Christmas decorations are already up. I hope to finish all before the end of this week. Another year is almost coming too. We have a lot of plans for new year. Buying a new car is cancelled in exchange for
metal building. We will be trying to have more house renovation than buying a new car for next year. I believed that is a better idea. But now, we will presently concentrate for this year's holiday season.

I also hope that hubby will be better soon after being brought to the hospital yesterday. God is always good because he no longer need an operation. He had an accident in the work yesterday. Be careful guys especially in this snowy winter. Drive safetly too!

Advent Candles

This year is my first time to make Advent Candles. I used to buy some the past years. Last Sunday, I finally did it. Hubby was asking me that morning what am I doing with that wooden box and all those pine trees cut from our garden. I told him that I will make my Advent Candles. He was surprised that I finally had one after around thirty minutes of making it. I finally lit my first Advent candle last Sunday. Christmas is around the corner.

Have a lovely December to all! Happy holidays too!

my home-made Advent Candles. Anyone wants to order? Just kidding guys!

Learning Photography

I always love to take pictures of anything that catches my camera. Images from flowers to trees, insects, scenery, buildings, places are only some of my favorite objects. I bought a new Canon DSLR with 550D model or EOS Rebel T2I around two weeks ago and I am quite happy about it. I want to learn more about photography and I hope to catch better images with this new DSLR camera. I believed I will learn more in the future. I also bought some photography magazines to have more tips and information about photography. Taking images with my new cam is another challenge for me. Who knows one day photography will turn into another career. I am just kidding! Goodnight folks. I guess I am getting sleepy now. It is time for me to slowly sign-off. The clock is ticking to midnight. Have a nice week ahead!

The Flags

These are some flags in the European Parliament in Brussels, the capital city of Belgium. I had the chance to visit it last summer 2010. I took a photo of it after seeing the flag of Germany.

Happy Weekend!

We should be going somewhere for a trip today but since there are just a lot of things to do both online and offline, we ended up staying at home and did some of the errands that we need to do. Hubby had written two letters of cancellation for our car insurances. We found some cheaper car insurance online and we immediately changed our old expensive ones. Now, he is browsing for a cheaper electric provider and I don't know if he already tried to browse about male enhancement reviews. I believed he never did. I am also not done with my Christmas decorations. Our Christmas tree is already up since the other Friday. I am still looking for my other Christmas decors and lights. Now, I am currently loading my second laundry. I also need to fold the bedding that are already dry. I need to decorate later the four Advent's candles. I still have to do some assignments online. What a busy housewife I am.

Last but not the least, I would love to greet you all a happy weekend! It seems that this is already the last weekend of November. Christmas is coming soon! I wish you all a lovely one!

"Our God works to transform us
Till life on earth is done;
He uses trials and testings
To make us like His Son."
