Back to Bad Habit

How was your Wednesday? I hope you have a great one as the day ends. I got sometime talking to some friends today while munching some food. I am back to bad habit again...eating junks. I still have 2 pringles left. I eat it while sitting in front of my computer. I told myself before 2008 ended to start diet and exercise this year but it seems not working. I know I need to really lose some weight for health reasons. Besides I want to get back my original weight as I stepped here in Europe. Are there any alternatives? Are diet pills really effective and don't have side effects! I will see!! Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!!

Burgruine Hohenfels

Burgruine Hohenfels, The Castle remains of the so-called Schlossberg in Hohenfels. Hohenfels is a small town in Oberpfalz and is a big valley which simply means that it is surrounded by hills and mountains.. It is a very beautiful place especially during summer time when the surroundings are all green. I always love to take photos of this place especially during the different seasons of the year. I considered Hohenfels my second home being a German citizen now.

Feel free to visit my other sites for more photos of Hohenfels. I am featuring it in most of my sites!! have a great afternoon!!

Sinulog festival in Cebu

Today is the Sinulog celebration in Cebu City, Philippines. It is considered to be one of the grandest and famous festival in the Philippines. It is also known worldwide being visited by tourists coming from the different parts of the world. Above is a very lovely and colorful photo of Sinulog festival participants. How I wish to have a vacation in teh next Sinulog. Below is an info about Sinulog from Wikipedia.

The Sinulog is an annual festival held on the third Sunday of January in Cebu City, Philippines. The festival honors the child Jesus, known as the Santo Niño (Holy Child), patron of the city of Cebu. It is a dance ritual that commemorates the Cebuano people's pagan origin, and their acceptance of Christianity.

The festival features a street parade with participants in bright-colored costumes dancing to the rhythm of drums, trumpets, and native gongs. Smaller versions of the festival are held in various parts of the province, also to celebrate, and honor the Santo Niño. There is also a "Sinulog sa Kabataan", performed by the youths of Cebu a week before the grand parade.

Recently, the festival has been promoted as a tourist attraction, with a contest featuring contingents from various parts of the country. The Sinulog Contest is usually held in the Cebu City Sports Complex.

Wish to Turn Back Time!

See who's in this picture? This was taken around seven years ago. I had a general merchandising store before in Phils.. The second floor of the store was made as our apartment. We just transferred as this photo was taken.
I had a chat with a friend tonight and was talking about the past..I mean about my past figure..wink! She can't believe that I look quite petite before. Oh well, that is very true! I only weight around 53- 55 kilos before. And now I already got around 14 kilos more! I am not happy with this but I have to love myself no matter how I look. I am even telling myself sometimes, if I could only turn back times. I know I can't. All I just need now is to discipline myself especially about my eating habits. My husband said that I cook good so what can you expect. I simply love food and eating..Do you know any of the best diet pill in the market? I am curious about this!! I really have to sign-off now guys!! It's Good morning already!! time to go to sleep!!

WW: Missing Home

I truly miss home! When I miss home and my family all I do is just look at the photos of my family and home...planning to visit home this year!! in God's will!!
