The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Paris

This is the The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Paris, commonly known as Sacré-Cœur Basilica. This was taken in August 2010 during my second visit in Paris, France. It is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Paris, France.

I am letting you know that taking pictures are forbidden inside the Basilica.

It is a popular landmark of Paris. The basilica is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city. is built of travertine stone quarried in Château-Landon (Seine-et-Marne), France. This stone constantly exudes calcite, which ensures that the basilica remains white even with weathering and pollution.

Weekend Etc.

I am quite tired and sleepy now. I guess it is time to slowly sign-off. My Sunday was quite good compared to yesterday. I was so tired almost the whole day yesterday because I did not sleep good for around two days. There are just some things that are bothering me. Not really so bad but I can't avoid to worry. Last night, I had quite a good sleep after a very tiring day. Anyway guys, I have a question for you, do diet pills work? Is anybody out there who tried it successfully. I told hubby that I really wanted to lose weight but everytime I see food, my carvings are just uncontrollable. I am still trying to fight this problem until now. I have a good news today. I only cook some vegetables and hubby love it too. I am also thankful that we had a lovely weather today....blue sky and sunshine, it was truly a wonderful day! Goddnight folks! See you all tomorrow again.

The Quote and the Image

"People were created to love.
Things were created to be used.
The reason why the world is in chaos
is because Things are being loved
and people are being used."

taken somewhere down the road! I guess as we drove to Neumarkt last April 2010.

Bathroom Renovation

This is one project that we need to do in our old house. We really need to renovate our bathroom. This should be done last year but we had another priority. We installed first new energy-saving-windows than renovating our bathroom. I find glass tiles a good materials if ever we will do the renovation. There are just other priorities to do this year and I hope that we can do it little by little. I also love the bathroom I saw in Hilton during my vacation in my home country. I might let hubby see the images I took from this hotel to have some bathroom ideas.

The Sunset and the Quote

"It was love that heard my pleadings
When I cried out in my sin;
It was love that gave me comfort;
It was love that took me in."

-Bonney

I miss this sunset in Cebu, Philippines.
This was taken near our house located near the beach. I love this place.

Shopping in Nuremberg

Happy weekend everyone! The second weekend of January 2011 is here now. I hope you are having a wonderful one. We did some window shopping of cars today in the nearby town. Hubby is planning to buy a new one. We also went to the supermarket because I bought two SD cards with 8 Gb that are on sale. I was also looking for cheap ipods but it is still not on sale.

Anyway, let's proceed about shopping in Nuremberg. I can't exactly remember how many times did I visited this city. Sometimes I go there with friends for window shopping. When I see stuffs that are on sale like clothes and shoes
I ended up buying some. Sometimes we just visit it for a day sightseeing.

This city in the state of Bavaria, Germany has a lot to offer to its guests and visitors. You can visit Nuremberg if you happen to visit Bavaria, Germany.

The Tulips and the Nice Quote

So lift up your heart to the heavens;
There's a loving and kind Father there
Who offers release and comfort and peace
In the silent communion of prayer.

I wish it's tulip time now. Happy weekend everyone! Keep warm especially to all friends in winter wonderlands.

These were the tulips in our garden last spring 2010.
