Cakes Scene and Seen

Cake making nowadays is not anymore a complicated procedure. Its because baking equipment and directions have been simplified that even the most amateur cook can bake. Before i like to experiment on baking cake and i would say that its more of a disaster baking. If my sweet tooth crave for some cakes, i just buy one slice each of my favorite flavor, its more practical, save time and most important i'm satisfied.
SEEN - Cool mom buying 2 slices of cake at Edeka bakery




SCENE -Its raining that day, my best friend and me in the parking area after i buy 2 slice
of cakes

Best friend- You should be careful with your cakes, you always make it kaputt, it doesnt reach
your house in good eating condition
An2nette - Okay, thanks for the reminder (while boarding her car i placed the cakes down near
my foot to secure it because i am on the passenger seat)
Then my best friend folded my umbrella and throw it, you know where???? on my poor cake
its kaputt and flat again!!!! She didnt see that i put the cake down, hu hu hu waaaaa

NATO Summit Meeting

The North Atlantic Treat Organization (NATO) summit meetings of head of state and government is being jointly hosted by Germany and France. It will be held on April 3 & 4 in baden-baden and kehl, germany and strasbourg, france. Because of its limited duration, the meeting will concentrate on a restricted number of issues which will have a profound and durable impact on NATO.

The venue of the summit is very close to our place (20 min drive) thats why as early as last week, there are aerial and police control especially in Kehl, the border between the two countries. German police have also temporarily reintroduced border controls to travellers and they were advised to carry their passports till april 5. The checks aim to stop the travel of those who could be dangerous to the meeting in France and Germany.

It is also expected the arrival of thousands of demonstrators at this weeks NATO summit to be attended by heads of state including the american newly-elected president, President Barrack Obama. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and France President Sarkozy will jointly host the summit.

Ready for Easter

Germany is ready for easter. Some people like to buy quality easter decorations and other who have a crafting skills like to make their own. What would easter be without colored easter eggs and easter icons such as bunnies, sheeps, ducks and flowers?

Department stores are also now decorated with cholocate bunnies and easter eggs. And with all these preparations, still the very important thing is the true meaning of easter in our life, the time for reflection and seek forgiveness for all our sins.

Mixed-Race Babies

Interracial families with mixed race babies are amazing because it shows love knows no boundaries. It shows everyone that anybody can love one another, regardless of skin color, race and religion. Below is the picture of Lea, my filipina friend and another Lea (we called her matti) from west africa. I think its twice as fun to have twice as many heritages, customs and holidays to celebrate in life. Its really nice looking at the two babies, david and elissa, whose moms have different culture but share the same name.

The metal sculpture also create one of a kind amazing artworks. The artists works depicts of his own personal creative exploration and put an artistic touch in the city's main streets.

LP 51- Sapatos

Ito ang aking unang lahok sa temang SAPATOS para Litratong Pinoy.
Dancing Shoes- Pangsayaw na sapatos

Naobserbahan nyo ba ang diperensya, sadyang malaki di ba? Sapagkat ang sapatos na panlalaki na pag aari ni dirk ay size 46 or size 13 samantalang yung sa akin ay size 37. Parang east meets west ang drama naming dalawa. Yan ang ginagamit naming pansayaw na sapatos kung kami ay umaattend ng mga parties dito sa Germany.

Simple Living

The Philippines as a third world country is trying hard to improve its current state. There are millions of overseas workers around the world, and we only have one thing in mind, to help the family and to improve our living conditions. We need to sacrifice in exchange for their future. We work for our family, though remote, we still try to have a close family ties, as filipinos known for.
While Germany is among the most prominent and successful countries in the world, somehow with their success, the family togetherness suffer. They have a developed country wherein the standard of living is high. For us filipinos, we lead a simple life, especially those in the provinces with family and nature around.
