One day, a bird flew inside our house and then went straight to the screened window and banged himself! Somehow, he figured out to fly back through our door.

Today was a long day for us. We went to the laboratory for my test and waited for an hour for the result. Then visited the clinic for my monthly check up with my OB. Met our friends by lunch time and went back home by 1pm because Daniel had a meeting with campus Chancellor [...]

I was at the city today and I saw a lot of kids begging on the street. Begging for money and food. I am just wondering where are the parents of these kids? Are they begging because of poverty? Or because their parents ignore their responsibility to raise and feed them? How could the parents [...]

I like it when it rains. It cools me down and gives me quiet inner peace. But not when I am inside the house, rain gently fall wherever I go because it’s still leaking everywhere after the owner fixed it.

I went to my parents house to visit them. Going there I sat beside a lady in the bus, who offered me bread. And when I traveled back home to the city, someone who sat beside me again offered her biscuit. I just realised that Filipino are compassionate even to strangers.

I had fun watching Dance Sport competition at the University with the students. We were inspired too by the judges, a married couple, who entertained us by their gracefulness as they danced with love. I think, a couple who dance together, maintain their youthfulness together.

It was just an ordinary day at the Goat farm. Five of us having our as usual dinner time, Daniel, me, Evelyn, Joseph and baby Jazzlyn. We were talking and laughing. Until we got to talk about how Joseph and Evelyn met and how their love story started. Then we talked about their wedding one [...]

In the Philippines when Daniel is driving more than 110Kmh I am so scared. Because many cars want to overtake and people are crossing on the road. You cannot drive that fast to the two-line road with many bumps. But in Germany driving 170Kmh in autoban (national highway) is relaxing. You don’t have to worry [...]

I was born and raised in the Philippines and just being here in Germany for 3 weeks I have seen their distinct beauties.
Philippines is warm and Germany is cold country. Filipinos are brown and Germans are white. In the Philippines, the sun sets at around 6 in the evening and rises at 6 in the [...]

It was a freezing day for me. I felt so cold when we went to Holland to see the tulip land. When i went out from the car I was freezing, it was 14 degree Celsius. Just too bad they already harvested the tulips, so the field  is all green and there are no flowers, [...]

First words or phrase I learned here when we arrived at the airport is entschuldigung (sorry). I think it helps to know this word. And the first experience I had here is the cold. When we went out from the airport the cold breeze welcomes me. And wearing a jacket most of the time is [...]

Last April 05 I turned 29. I celebrated my birthday peacefully. No visitors, no party or anything. I just stayed inside our house and never met anyone that day, only Daniel. We just spent our time working on the computer. It was a good day for us. I cooked Nilagang Baka for lunch for us. [...]

During my travel in different islands in the Philippines, i was amazed to see different mode of transporation. Tricycle is the most common in every towns or cities. But each towns or cities have thier own style of tricycle. As going back home, i thought i have seen a lot and nothing is new anymore [...]

So hot today! But it’s not summer!  Summer is still coming this April.  Whew, it would be too hot the next month. I don’t like it cause you will sweat the whole day. Some of our plants in our garden are almost dying because of heat. I hope they will survive. Just now i am thinking [...]
