I miss you already

We're together everyday and i never leave the house without you
We've been together for almost ten months
Travelling from north to south, from east to west
We weathered a lot of storms and snows together
You were just so happy during christmas there and summer here
You had lots of memories, sad and good
You're the reason why i blog so often, which makes it meaningful
You captured the best of me, my love ones and the things around

I still remember that fateful day, when you accidentally slipped out of my hand
I felt sad and blame myself for your lifeless state
I really miss you now........ my loving camera

German Unity Day

Germany's national holiday (German Unity Day) is celebrated today, the date when the reunification treaty was signed between the two Germanys (East and West Germany) in 1990, following the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. It's hard to believe that Europe's leading economy and a key player on the international political stage, could have been at the center of the cold war just two decades ago.

Germany has still not resolved all the issues surrounding reunification: studies often show that there are major differences in employment opportunities and incomes between those who live in what used to be West Germany and those who live in the former East.

Filipinos as Survivors

We encountered the worst mother nature's attack on our country, and whatever it is, filipinos always had a strong will to survive. The recent typhoon Ketsana in the Philippines not only created havoc and floods but also devastation not only to properties but also to the lives of our fellow kababayans.

Amidst the tragedies that befell, our countrymen came out with their ingenuity and indifference to survive.
NOTE- i just want to share with you readers some survival pictures of our kababayans, i don't own the picture, apology for the owners, i just wanted to bring some awareness for others to continue helping our poor countrymen who are still trapped in their flooded homes. Pictures gathered are from forwarded emails and other sites online.

Preparing for Winter

On the way to Lidl for our weekly food shopping, i noticed green bundles on the side of the street. I asked Dirk what are those things. He answered that those are grass collected by a machine and its the cows food for winter.

The farmers here also stored their harvested apples in a cool room for utilization in winter.

Mama Mary's Visit

Mama Mary visited Elena's house for a week and everyday my friends are praying the rosary. I was able to join them last thursday and after the prayers we have our lunch together. Mama Mary's visit to houses is a filipino catholic tradition and usually after the prayers, the host prepare foods to share.
