Store Opening Hours

What a coincidence, i just feature my pig post the other day, now there is an outbreak of swine flu, a virus that normally infects pigs, birds and people. I already write something about it in my other blog cool mom an2nette

Before, the store opening hours here in germany especially in supermarkets are just till 7 or 8 pm. But because of the clamor of people to extend their opening hours, some supermarket like penny markt and kaufland extended their time till 10 in the evening.

This give the opportunity for shoppers particularly those who are working full time to shop after office hours without stress at the above mentioned stores.

The Shopping Cart

Here in Germany, shopping carts in a supermarket are equipped with a coin-operated mechanism. The customer has to insert a coin, which is returned if and when the customer returns the cart to a designated cart parking point. Unlike at our very own SM supermarket, customers just leave the shopping cart at the parking lot.

The motivation behind the deposit system is not theft deterrent since the trolley is worth significantly more than the deposit, however thru this fee, the store
owner seeks to reduce the expense of their employees having to gather the carts that were not returned.

Shopping carts here are also kid-friendly, you can conveniently shop by putting your kid inside the trolley.

Me and My Pig

Do you know that i have a pig? Her color is pink and she's easy to maintain, you dont need to feed her and she's not demanding anything from me. She don't even protest and she's behave most of the time. Now here she is.....

Actually, i saw her in Berlin, i wanted to bring her home but the owner is the one protesting. When we saw a pig, first thing that came to our mind is the pork and the piggy bank which serve as a device to teach the rudiments of thrift and savings to children. Saving is very important so that we can have something to use during difficult times.

My Airplane Foods Dilemma

Travelling is one of the most interesting and exciting events in our life. For the past eight years, dirk and me were travelling a lot. We want to explore places, culture and meet new friends. For me, travelling is adventure and fun, things that we still can do if we're still able and capable, not when we're already in the wheelchair.

The only thing i dislike is my bouncing stomach especially if its a long distance travel. My stomach dont want to accept airplane foods. Foods served are varied depending on the airlines. Even if its different it doesnt help my bumpy stomach so i always just drink tea.

LP 54- Gusali or Building

Ito naman ang aking lahok sa Litratong Pinoy sa temang Gusali para sa araw ng Huwebes, Maligayang LP sa lahat!!

Ang gusali na ito ay matatagpuan sa hongkong. Makikita ang iba't ibang sinampay na karaniwang tanawin sa low-end na lugar dito. This building shot was taken in hongkong. You can see the different clothes and aircons hang outside the building in this area of HK.

Ang building naman na ito ay ang aming rathaus o city hall. Sadyang napakaganda ng mga architectural design ng mga gusali sa bansang alemanya, karamihan ay historical
kaya dinadayo ng mga turista. The picture shown is our city hall. Most of the buildings here in Germany are historical and also an added attraction to tourists.

Ito naman ang maganda ring gusali sa Berlin

I'm Pissed but i want Peace

I really get angry when a colleague is not directly telling our mistakes at work. I think its a normal reaction when you learned your mistakes from other people. Nobody is perfect and sometimes you really commit mistakes. In our line of work at the hotel, sometimes there are small things that you forgot which should not be an issue at all when its already settled.

There are things that happened that are beyond our control. Things that was blown out of proportion to the point of putting words into others people's mouth. This is a very unprofessional behavior. With my real friends/colleague in my place of assignment, we practice the principle of transparency, we're very open on things that we need to achieve and improve. Blaming each other don't exists in our vocabulary, because we work together and its all our fault. We work as a team and most of all we respect each other's abilities and shortcomings. It's not proper when you lend your help and your effort was fruitless and not appreciated. You know who you are, hope that this will be a wake up call for you, most of all change for the better, we should be counting friends not enemies. Life is too short,love and peace should reign in our hearts.
