Red Poppies and the Saying

"Lord, help me to be honest
In all I do and say,
And grant me grace and power
To live for you each day."

-Fitzhugh

Party in Ktown

Its TGIF again! The first weekend of February is almost here. Special greetings to my sister for her birthday today. Happy birthday dear sister. It is a year now since I spent a birthday party with her. Hopefully next time again.

Anyway, going back to the main topic. I also reminisce our friend's birthday party in Ktown last year. Kaiserslautern is being called by American friends as Ktown. This is where one of the U.S. Base in Germany is located.

I thought that would be our friend's last birthday party celebration in Germany but they got extended for two years again. I am thinking of giving him good luck golf tees on his next birthday. He loves to play golf and the last time I knew he bought new golf sets. Here is a table filled with sumptuous foods during his last birthday.

Health is The Most Important

I had a talk with a friend last time and it was quite a good one. I asked her, if ever you are given one wish, what would it be? Her answer; lots and lots of money! Why not? But if you have to ask me, I would rather say, good health always. There is a saying that says, "There is only one health but a lot of sicknesses." I hope you agree with me. Some sicknesses might include heart disease, diabetics, cerebral palsy, high blood pressure, kidney stone, migraine, cancer and many more. And yes, maybe the worst thing is when you are spiritually sick. That is also the reason why we always need to take care of our body both physically and spiritaully. Avoid vices like too much smoking and drinking alcohols. Envy, gluttony and lust can also be forms of spiritual sickness which are not really good. I wish each and everyone a good health always!

Visit to the Colosseum in Rome, Italy

I once visited Rome in Italy. Me and my friend Nonna had a great time seeing the amazing wonders of architecture in Rome last summer 2010. One of the sights we visited was the Colosseum, an Amphitheater in this city.

The Colosseum's original Latin name was Amphitheatrum Flavium, often anglicized as Flavian Amphitheater. The building was constructed by emperors of the Flavian dynasty, hence its original name, after the reign of Emperor Nero.

Monday Etcetera

I just remember that today is the last day of January. Wow, the Month of Hearts is coming very soon. Anyway, not that much for my Monday. I did some cleaning in the house and a bit cooking too. I thought I need a spyderco delica but I found the same in our kitchen. It took me some hours to do the cleaning because there are a lot of stuffs that made me some traffics. I am happy that I accomplished some things today. Being a housewife is truly a full time job. I remember that words when my friend told me about that last time. Thanks to hubby because he also helps me in doing some household chores. Happy Monday everyone!

Beautiful Sunday!

I am just thankful that I had a very wonderful weekend. Last Saturday, I had the chance to visit again for the third time the famous Neuschwanstein castle of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. Thanks to my friends for the invitation to go with them. Yesterday, I had a relaxing and nice day too. I had a walk with hubby in the winter wonderland. It was simply a beautiful Sunday. Thanks God for everything!

Watching the Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas

It is always nice to remember a beautiful place we visited in the past. It is more nicer when we have some photographs taken during our trip or visit. These travel images are keeping us to always remember and look back those times. That is always the reason why I always have a camera in my bag. lol!

I have here an image taken during my vacation in Las Vegas. One of the shows that I love to watch is the dancing fountain in front of Bellagio. Don't you know that this fountain is estimated to cost around $75 million to build. I was amazed by it. It is also built with network of pipes with more than 1,200 nozzles that make it possible to stage fountain displays coordinated with more than 4,500 lights. Never forget to watch this free show once you visit Las Vegas.

I am also signing-off earlier tonight. I need to browse savoy house lighting before signing-off. I also need to wake-up tomorrow very early for a day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle with friends. Thanks in advance for the ride.

The Fountains of Bellagio is a vast, choreographed water feature with performances set to light and music. (See musical fountain.) The performances take place in front of the Bellagio hotel and are visible from numerous vantage points on the Strip, both from the street and neighboring structures. The show takes place every 30 minutes in the afternoons and early evenings, and every 15 minutes from 8 p.m. to midnight. Before a water show starts, the nozzles break the water surface and the lights illuminating the hotel tower turn to a purple hue (usually), or red-white-and-blue for certain music. Shows may be cancelled without warning because of wind, although shows usually run with less power in face of wind. A single show may be skipped to avoid interference with a planned event. The fountain display is choreographed to various pieces of music, including songs by Andrea Bocelli, Frank Sinatra, and Gene Kelly. wikipedia
