Porcelain Collections

For many years, my friend blogger is collecting owls of different sizes and forms while i'm fond of angels and clowns. Last weekend, we visited a family friend and i was amazed by her collections, vases, flowers and other figures made of porcelain.

Multitasking

Women do multitask, we have established this fact. I can blog while i'm cooking, uploading pictures while ironing clothes, surfing the net while eating. The best way to pass the time while exercising is also to multitask- i'm running on a treadmill while watching my filipino movies. Being a mom also takes balance. Multitasking is a way of life and definitely a lifeline for all mothers.

Kids Early Training

Parents should trained early their children on family responsibility and sharing workloads at home. The key is to start when they are young. They should be given some insights on the importance of helping out in the family and let them understand the concept that household chores should be shared. Let them have something to do that is just expected of them, in the same way that brushing their teeth and washing their hands are expected of them.


Kati, Joy's daughter already know her responsibility at home. She even cooked her own lunch today and help her mother by preparing ingredients for cooking. Being responsible for tasks and feeling that they're part of the family fosters self-esteem, and besides it prepare her for one of her role in the future.

Is Winter Over Yet??

Compared to the minus temperatures and heavy snow in the past weeks, we're now experiencing plus, great isnt it??? But we're always not sure, there will always be cold and not so cold, only the former are becoming more frequent than the latter.

Food Trip

Dirk like very much to eat rabbit meat. Its good for his diet plan because its almost cholesterol free, contains less fats and a nutritious source of protein. Dirk convinced me to try to taste it but i cannot, i pity the animal so much.

Today, Joy and me craved for fried dilis with tomatoes and tuna omelet. Her husband complained of the smell, the same with Dirk the other day when i fried danggit in our garage.

A Lazy Sunday

While sunday in the Philippines is a family and malling day, here in Germany is more of relaxing day. Some spend weekend with family, friends and relatives, no shopping because stores are closed. Many visitors to Germany can find themselves standing outside a closed department store, perplexed to find that they cannot do a bit of shopping during their weekend trip. But small shops in train stations and airports are excempted from the restriction. The use of machines outside the house is also not allowed because it will create noise to the neighbors. For me and Dirk, its sunday as usual, swimming/playing golf for him, watching TV/DVD and browsing the web for me.

Colored-Theme Houses

Yesterday, when we attended Jasmine's second birthday its very noticeable the colored-themed houses in the village. Houses in red, blue, white, orange ruled the roadway. The place embraced a more striking element by painting each houses with varied colors. If in the Philippines, we have coding scheme for motorists to ease the traffic in the metropolis, there are also some houses here with color coding for identification purposes.
