The Last Day of May

Here we are again...the last day of May!

The sun shines and I had a good sleep. I fell asleep at Mary Jean's sofa, and she woke me up, sent me to bed. We had a good breakfast and talk and right now, Michelle is sitting beside me, watching me write this article.

She looks fine and is smiling, while Mary Jean is asking, "Hast Du schon Deine Haare gemacht?"

What a fine, normal day, the last day of May. I will have some hours of sleep in Michelle's bed and then go to work later. Two more days of work and can finally rest a bit.

Looking outside the window, the sun shines through some clouds but the sky is blue and that makes a perfect last day of May. I love this month. Why?

I asked Michelle the question and she said: "Weil Du in diesem Monat Geburtstag hast!", and we shared a hearty laugh! Quite true. Two of my sisters, Myla und Marisol, have also their birthdays in the month of May.

For me, the answer is plain and simple. The month of May is the start of a new, happy and exciting life.

I found my soulmate. A very loving and caring person and I am thankful of the happiness I am feeling right now.

Today will not be the last day of May in my lifetime. For sure, happy May days are coming in the future!

Enjoy the last day of May!  Have a good day! 

What a day!

All my wishes came true yesterday. 

Family and friends remembered me and I am really grateful I reached this age. I almost have not.
It was a dumb thing but I am grateful though, that I experienced those mishaps. In that way, I learned to realize how wonderful life is.

Good morning, everyone. Have a happy day!

From Mary Jean, Michelle und Manfred



Thanks a lot for your friendship, Mary Jean!!!

Firework by Katy Perry

Life begins at 47!


Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong

I spent many years of my life without knowing whereto, what for and why am I existing in this world. I almost have lost my faith and trust that I can stand again on my own feet, but thanks to all of you,


my dear friends and family,


who kept and keep on giving me the most needed moral support.

I thank you all, without naming names, to be sure that no one will be forgotten. You are all the reason why I am still alive. To my dear friends around the world, this song is for you...and I mean it.

Stop worrying about me. I am happy and willing to live.

For all of you from the bottom of my heart....


I see trees of green,
red roses too
I see them bloom
for me and you.
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue
and clouds of white.
The bright blessed day,
the dark sacred night.
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow
so pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces
of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands
saying how do you do.
They're really saying
I love you.
I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow.
They'll learn much more
than I'll never know.
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world.
Yes I think to myself
what a wonderful world.

My dearest Ma, thanks for giving birth to me....

A song for you from Josh Groban
"You Raise Me Up"

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

Annie's Song by John Denver

This is a very heartwarming song....and it should be posted in this blog of mine!

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

For You From John Denver

A beautiful song.......a must be in this page! 

Just to look in your eyes again
Just to lay in your arms
Just to be the first one always there for you
Just to live in your laughter
Just to sing in your heart
Just to be everyone of your dreams come true

Just to sit by your window
Just to touch in the night
Just to offer a prayer each day for you
Just to long for your kisses
Just to dream of your sighs
Just to know that Id give my life for you

For you for the rest of my life
For you all the best of my life
For you alone, only for you

Just to wake up each morning
Just to you by my side
Just to know that you're never really far away
Just a reason for living
Just to say I adore
Just to know that youre here in my heart to stay

For you for the rest of my life
For you all the best of my life
For you alone, only for you

Just the words of a love song
Just the beat of my heart
Just the pledge of my life, my love, for you

A message from my family in the Philippines...

"live, love, enjoy"

Thank you, Fam. Petermann, Family Arbolante,

Family Sumido, Family Gloriani, Family Buendia.

Thanks for the understanding and love and care.

The First Birthday Without Mama Naty but I know SHE is watching and guiding me.

Thanks a lot, Ma! 

Four Weeks and some hours....

It was just exactly four weeks ago when I decided to travel to Winterthur, Switzerland.

There are a lot of changes in my heart and mind.

I wish I could share them all to you, my dear readers, but I opt to, out of privacy and respect to someone who makes me cry out of happiness, keep them secret.

One thing I can assure you: I am very, very happy nowadays. It is just a matter of time and everything will be going right.

For the meantime, I wish you all a happy Monday.

And be crazy once in a while. Laugh and smile now!

Perhaps love by John Denver

This one is for you...

Perhaps Love is like a resting place,
a shelter from the storm,
it exists to give you comfort,
it is there to keep you warm.
And in those times of trouble
when you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window,
perhaps an open door
it invites you to come closer,
it wants to show you more.
And even if you lose yourself
and don´t know what to do
The memory of love will see you thru

Oh love to some is like a cloud
to some as strong as steel,
for some a way of living,
for some a way to feel
and some say love is holding on,
and some say letting go
and some say love is ev´rything,
some say,they don't know

Perhaps Love is like the ocean,
full of conflict
full of pain
like a fire when it's cold outside,
a thunder when it rains
if I should live forever
and all my dreams come true
my memories of love will be of you
and some say love is holdin on,
and some say leting go
and some say love is ev´rything,
some say,they don't know

Perhaps Love is like the mountain,
full of conflict
full of chance
like a fire when it's cold outside,
thunder when it rains
if I should live forever,
and all my dreams come true
my memories of love will be of you

A new day....

happy Sunday, everybody!

Here we go again!

I am so physically tired but I cannot fall asleep. I walked some kilometers today at work and have a lot of Adrenalin and Noradrenalin in blood right now and they need time to be physiologically processed. A warm shower should make me sleepy in a few minutes.

Physically I am tired but I am full of energy when it comes to heart and mind.

I have learned not to risk my health anymore and I know of my priorities in life.

I know that the "waiting" will be rewarded. It is just a matter of time.

Good morning, folks! 

One Fine Day at

Am Sendlinger Tor, München

To Do

Magandang Umaga!

It is very exciting to live with goals.

When somebody is there to help you reach the peaks, win or lose, then your "To Do" list is just a matter of enjoyment.

As for me, I am now focused on happiness. To make somebody happy without losing my own.

Am I full of vitality, in mind and in body.

And am I ready, to go get the goals!!!

Be happy everyone! Smile and laugh whenever you can.

   

Shoes....

make one taller!

First Things First

Dragon and snake are now my favorite animals. I did not know until last night that the two can live in harmony by nature and in nature.

Beginning today, I like Chinese Astrology.

Secondly, I found my place under the sun and I do feel happy, comfortable and satisfied with it.

It was a long search but it was worth it. Distance is not a problem and it will never be.

And my search is ended. I am here to stay because somebody wants me to.

Good morning, everyone! Be happy today.

My gratefulness

Nora's Message Before My Journey

To Winterthur, Switzerland  

The Year Of the Dragon

Am I so grateful

    It is the year of the dragon

I waited this far

Only to find someone

Finally, it is about time

To love and to be loved.

I am thankful enough

That somebody set me free

For I have found now

The right man for me

No more questions, no more doubts

Just here to enjoy the rest of our lives

Luckily walking through life.....

When I Fall in Love....

When I Fall In Love it will be forever
Or i'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When i give my heart it will be completely
Or i'll never give my heart
And the moment i can feel that you feel that way too
Is When I Fall In Love with you.

And the moment i can feel that you feel that way too
Is When I Fall In Love with you.


Good morning!

GETTING TO KNOW YOU
(Oscar Hammerstein)

It's a very ancient saying,
But a true and honest thought,
That if you become a teacher,
By your pupils you'll be taught.
As a teacher I've been learning
(You'll forgive me if I boast)
And I've now become an expert,
On the subject I like most.

Getting to know you. 
Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you, getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you, putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea. 

Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you, putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.

Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.
Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.

When there is a will, there is a way...

Good morning!

Good morning, everyone!

Some minutes before my duty. No time to write.

Thanks for visiting my blog though.

Winning Moments...

FC Bayern lost to FC Chelsea last night. It was a good game, though.

Michelle and Manfred won 20Euros. Mary Jean and I lost the bet.

A gentleman from Hof said, and I quote: "Everyone must deal with disappointments, also children should learn to handle the same."

Whatever! "Ich habe Glück in der Liebe, und Pech im Spiel" and am I willingly dealing with that.

Good morning everybody!  

FC Bayern vs. Chelsea

Munich is full of strangers this weekend. 

Tonight FC Bayern plays against Chelsea. It is a matter of honor. At least, hoping for a title for the FC Bayern this season!

I wish FC Bayern all the best. I will try to catch the "Live Ticker" tonight after work.

No, I have to catch the "Live Ticker" tonight.

The commentator has the best voice in this world!

Have a good, football weekend everyone!

Everything Differs Now...

Several months ago, I did not know where to begin and what to do with my life. Family and friends encouraged me to go on and not to give up, and am thankful they did.

I am glad, am still alive, and I wish that I can live longer.... 

As my mother died last November 2011, I was down and I thought life has no meaning at all but now I realized what she meant as we last talked with each other. "Be happy", she said. "Think only of the beautiful side of life. Forget the past."

Thank you, Mama! The first month of May without you and am feeling down and lonely right now but it does not mean that I am not happy. I want you to know, wherever you are, that I am feeling better than ever before.

Everything is different now...

Life is only a matter of a perspective....

Back In Aschheim

It was a good and comfortable ride back to Munich on board a Hyundai Santa Fe? from Aadorf, Switzerland.

It was a gentle drive with rain, snow, sunshine and heavy traffic on the way to Munich.

For the first time, I felt very lonely alone in my room in Aschheim. I am missing something or somebody. Well, well....have to go  through this. I wanted it this way.

Good morning everyone who visits my blog. Take good care and be happy today.  

90% Cacao

Have you ever tasted  Excellence Noir Prodigieux Force et finesse from Lindt  & Sprüngli?

I love this Extra Dark Chocolate which stimulates all my senses.

I got this 90% Cacao in Aadorf and it gives me a special feeling of care and affection.

It feels good to be at home.
 

Happy Birthday, Myla!!

May you have many more candles to blow and cakes to eat!

Wishing you good health, luck and happiness.

Thank you for being there in San Fernando.

Ingat lagi.

Why...

Last night, I worked from 12:00 to 20:45, picked up my baggage from my room and hurried to the Bus 263 Station in Aschheim. I was there four minutes before the bus departure and yes, I was with Mary Jean at 22:00pm in Munich, near the Theresienwiese, as planned.

I was able to see Manfred before his holidays in Thailand. I missed Michelle, though, who was asking her mother Mary Jean, why am I leaving too early that she cannot see me at all. I fell asleep easily. I was tired.Mary Jean, my guardian angel, woke me up at around 01:00, so as for me to catch the last Underground Train from the Poccistrasse to Hauptbahnhof. 

Honestly, like Anna Michelle, I was asking myself the same question. Why the hurry at all?

I am writing inside the Munich Main Station, standing before a huge Glashaus, where I can observe the whole area, 360°. Wow, what an experience. I see the trains come and go, people who are walking around with their huge luggages, workers who are cleaning the areas, and an old man who picks up the empty bottles from the trash cans. 

I am in the middle of this scenery and why?

The answer is so simple to me:

I want to be at home early because somebody is waiting for me.

Happy Mother's Day!

Ate Cora, Myla, Regina, Marisol, Anna, Mary....

Frau Fester, Annamarie, Mara, Corinna, Anke, Tine, Bernadette, Alice and not the least, Mary Jean.

Wishing you the best of motherhood!

Thank you, Gina, for all your efforts and for taking care of Mama Naty!

You have done a lot for her and I do appreciate that. 

For me, you are the best "Nurse"!

    

Hvordan har du det?

Good morning folks!

How are you today?

A very simple yet meaningful question that could make one's day either brightful or sad.

Heartwarming it is when a somebody sincerely asks someone "How was your day?"

The question allows me to review my thoughts, words and actions I made through the day. I can be honest and can just delete and ignore the rest of the topics I do not want to tackle.

Have a meaningful and happy Sunday! Do not forget, today is Mother's Day!      

Tara ra ra...Treasure Box!

This time it is different...

It was raining last night and at about 03:00 a.m., I heard the strong rainfall outside that I stood up for a cup of a Cappucino. Looking through the windows and staring at those peaceful street lamps while the rain pours out from heaven, I remembered the days in West Berlin in 1990 and in Crailsheim in 1997.

I do not want to reveal why am I so worried the last few days. Honestly, I have my Angst. As much as possible, I do not want history to repeat itself. Not again. Enough is enough. 

I got good news this morning and made me forget the thoughts and mishaps. I have locked them up (again) inside Captain Sparrow's Treasure Box and somebody holds the key right now.... 

When You Are Down and Weary....

Somebody who is very important and dear to me is not feeling well these days.
I feel sorry that I am far away....

The latter is another justifiable reason to be at home soon!

I do not want to waste time for I know not what tomorrow will bring. I do not want another mishap.

I have searched for something for a very long time and will keepsake the same.

I will be there soon.

Buenos Dias und say No to harmful organisms.



Homesick...

Good morning my dear readers and everybody who visits my blog!

Honestly, am feeling homesick.

I had my "Kunstwerkstatt" last night and my "coconut" is a bit empty so I will just share with you some words I have mentioned in this blog some years ago I as I started this site.

"Do good things and good things happen!"

Enjoy your day, be healthy in mind and in body.

One Day

One day I will be saying that my life was not boring at all.
And there were episodes of  hearty laughs and loving humor.

Today, the sun is shining in Munich.
It is the middle of the week.
It is about taking care of one's happiness.

Will be home soon.

For Mama With Love

Que Sera Sera
Doris Day

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother
What will I be
Will I be pretty
Will I be rich
Here's what she said to me
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart
What lies ahead
Will we have rainbows
Day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother
What will I be
Will I be handsome
Will I be rich
I tell them tenderly
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
Que Sera, Sera

Docking Station Found!

Glück gehabt!

I wrote something uncertain in here but yesterday, I found out that it was just right and I could throw decorum into the air!

I am very, very happy and I know that I will do everything to keep the fire in me burning. Happiness shared is really the best.

For the first time, I feel that I am making the right decision in my life. Finding happiness seems to be as easy and as natural. What a luck that there is mutual feeling concerned.

A new star is born and I will keep the same in my heart....

Thank you, H.P.P. for finding me!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Mary Margaret!

Going Home To....

Winterthur....

Things are swiftly changing! Now I know and I am sure of my destination.

On the 14th of May, will I be going home to Winterthur! 

It is no longer uncertainty and nervousness. It is excitement and gladness.

Goodnight, I know it is late but I have to "empty" my thoughts.

Be good to yourself today, everybody! Make your day.....

When Your Day Is Not That Good...

Smile

by

Chaplin, Parsons and Phillips

Smile, though your heart is aching.
Smile, even though it's breaking.
Though there are clouds in the sky,
You'll get by...

If you smile through your fears and sorrows.
Smile and maybe tomorrow.
You'll see the sun come shining through.

If you just light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever, ever so near.

That's the time you must keep on trying.
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile, come on and smile.

If you just smile.

Goodnight, everyone!

Happy Birthday, MM!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, MM!

My dear first and only one godchild in Singapore,

I guess you are now taller than I am. One thing sure and I know is that you are getting beautiful and lady-like than ever.

I am wishing you a good health, good luck and happiness, my dear MM.

Remember always, Tante Mel loves you....

Some Facts I like About The Archer

Courtesy of Wikipedia

Sagittarius, The Archer

As I quote:

"compatible with Gemini"

"not superstitious"

"has the ability to adapt to the demands of the environment"

"sign is governed by Jupiter"

"element of fire,"

"the symbolic focus of the sign is connected to the principle of exploration and evolution"

"Sagittarians are reputed to be drawn toward travel and philosophy, and to enjoy social contacts, meeting new people and exploring other cultures. They are said to be highly intelligent, broad-visioned, tolerant in their views"

"THE EARTH PIG 1959 AND 2019

Laid back and reliable, Earth Pigs are at their happiest at home with their families. They are organized and pragmatic, preparing a strategy for every project they take on. They are fruitful at work and are content being one of the employees. Even so, Earth Pigs may compensate for this by asking for more money at review time. These Pigs love a good time and so may overindulge at times."

"The Pig is a fun and enlightening personality blessed with patience and understanding. People born under the sign of the Pig enjoy life and all it has to offer, including family and friends. They are honest and thoughtful and expect the same of other people. Pigs can be perceived as oblivious or gullible because they do care about others so much that they will do just about anything for a friend in need."


I will go back to these themes. I just need my rest. It is almost midnight again. 

Have a good day, everyone!

The Acapulco Beach, San Fernando, La Union

Eugene, Regine, Kristel, Nianne, Myla and Mila Regina enjoying the Acapulco Beach in San Fernando, La Union in April 2012. Study hard, guys, so you can savour again holidays in Eufrosina!



Master Yoda

May The Power Be With You!

Am I glad Yoda Master Is Still At Home in San Fernando!

On April 27, 2012, at 09:00am in the morning, I got a bad message thru my sister via Facebook that my house in Eufrosina Heights, San Fernando, La Union, was a victim of theft and trespassing.

To those thieves who now enjoy the comfort of my things, I appeal to you to please give back my old laptop because I have there my unfinished books.
Please be nice or else "The Empire Will Strike Back"!!!
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!

Friends Around

Mary Jean, Manfred and Michelle helped me transfer my things to my new room in Aschheim. It is a good feeling to have good and sincere friends around.

I do appreciate your help and friendship, Mary Jean! You are very dear to me.

Christa, though on holidays, keep on sending messages via phone and I am very thankful of her thoughtfulness. Salamat, Christa!

My sister Myla takes care of the house and garden in San Fernando, La Union, and and am very glad she does.  

Frau Fester is recovering from an accident. I hope to attend her 70th birthday celebration on the 28th of June, 2012. This very nice lady deserves a visit and a big hug.

The "Olchis" are very thoughtful as usual and am glad to have Mara around.

Anke, Carmen and Tine and the whole Schwarzenberg Diamond Way Buddhist Family keep on sending me good wishes.

Last but not least, a special someone from Switzerland keeps on telling me to take care of myself and to have a sound sleep. I could not ask for more nowadays. 

Have a good Sunday everyone. Enjoy the rain. 

Holidays in San Fernando

Send In The Clowns!

To those thieves who stole our household things in Eufrosina Heights, San Fernando, La Union:

You can steal all our things but not our happiness as a family!!!

         Cheers! 



 



My fave Bob Dylan

Trust yourself

Trust yourself
Trust yourself to do the things that only you know best
Trust yourself
Trust yourself to do what’s right and not be second-guessed
Don’t trust me to show you beauty
When beauty may only turn to rust
If you need somebody you can trust, trust yourself
Trust yourself
Trust yourself to know the way that will prove true in the end
Trust yourself
Trust yourself to find the path where there is no if and when
Don’t trust me to show you the truth
When the truth may only be ashes and dust
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself
Well, you’re on your own, you always were
In a land of wolves and thieves
Don’t put your hope in ungodly man
Or be a slave to what somebody else believes
Trust yourself
And you won’t be disappointed when vain people let you down
Trust yourself
And look not for answers where no answers can be found
Don’t trust me to show you love
When my love may be only lust
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself

The World is my planet and my home is there where my heart beats freely.

West Berlin was certainly not a home for me but I was fascinated of the falling of  "The Wall" in 1989. I will be visiting Berlin, Germany's capital city again, just to see how successful the West and East Union was and is.

I lost my heart in Heidelberg and it was a very heartbreaking moment. Rest in peace, Thomas!
Thank you for Crailsheim, a very special city for me.

Munich, Bavaria, is surely a home for me. I have here my great friends and they are my second family. This lovely city will always be a home for me.

I am certain of my home since April 10, 2012, and it is "Out of the Philippines" and "Out of Germany".

And I trust, out there is somebody sincerely waiting for me......

Have a good weekend, whereever you are in this planet.

Ingat lagi!

For Mama Naty

Tempus Fugit!

May 01 to 04 swiftly passed. I like my new room and my new assignment. My new job is very tiring but somehow satisfying. Nursing, to my mind, is back to its roots again. 

I want to thank my sisters Myla and her son Eugene, my sister Regina with her daughters Regine and Kristel, and son NJ, and my brother Ramil, for taking care of Mama Naty. It broke my heart not able to nurse my own mother when she was ill in 2011. I had to earn money to help cover the hospitalization costs and I was not able to attend her funeral last November 2011 for several reasons but I know that she understood the situation. I am very grateful I was able to talk to her before she passed away.

I  will always love you, Mama. Thanks for giving life to me. I know you are still taking care of me and I do appreciate that.

It is for you....you know it!

Have I told you lately...
Rod Stewart

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.
For the morning sun in all it's glory,
Meets the day with hope and comfort too,
You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.
There's a love less defined,
And its yours and its mine,
Like the sun.
And at the end of the day,
We should give thanks and pray,
To the one, to the one.
Have I told you lately that I love you?

And its yours and its mine,

Ease my troubles, that's what you do.
Take away all my sadness, fill my life with gladness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

Kuya Gerd, Kuya Peter....

This is dedicated for my sincere, nice and kind, and the very best brother-in-law Kuya Gerd or Kuya Peter, who married my older sister Cora more than twenty five years ago. Kuya Gerd or Kuya Peter, the way Mama Naty called him, was the one and is still the one acting as our Family Head. He has been helping us unconditionally and heartfully to show my sister Cora his love and affection. Kuya Gerd married a whole family.

I want to thank you, Kuya Gerd, am sure the whole Buendia family shares with me the same thoughts.

You have been so helpful to us. You gave us and still is giving us the understanding we badly need from a BIG BROTHER. Indeed, you are a GREAT BROTHER to me, to us and I want you to know how sorry I am for not following your advice twenty two years ago. I learned my lesson and am very thankful, that you are giving me the understanding. Even though I made a mistake, you keep on giving me your moral support und brotherly affection.

Whatever may happen in the future, you will always be my BIG, GREAT, CARING AND LOVING BROTHER. Thank you, Mr. Gerhard Petermann, husband to my sister, Corazon Petermann.

Good Morning!

I am hungry!
I am longing for Nutella Brot.
Will do my first grocery in Aschheim, my new home.

I am hearing the humming birds outside and am I glad I can.
Yesterday, I heard again the sweetest voice ever and longing to hear it again.

Last night, Christa called me up. Nora sent me a sms. Mary Jean is concerned about my bed and breakfast. Ging, Alice and Shirley remembered me. Fam. Fester wished me goodluck.

Mara and the "Olchis" teached me to wish from the bottom of my heart. Jochen and Virgie gave me their best wishes and regards from San Fernando. Myla, Gina, Kristel, Eugene and Regine cleaned the house in La Union. I got my house keys again.

And a very special person nearest to my heart and mind nowadays told me something I will not forget in my life.

I cannot be happier these days....

Thank you everyone. Mel was there and here is Mel......

1.33 Average for Michelle

Anna Michelle got the highest average of 1.33 (out of 55 students) and is soon entering Gymnasium.
Latin and French can come!!! Go get your dreams, my dear Michelle.

I am very proud of you, Anna Michelle. My only goddaughter in Germany.

I feel proud also having her mother as my dear friend. Mary Jean has been supporting me and still is giving her unconditional friendship to me since the year  1999. I thank you, Mary Jean, not only for the friendship but also for the happiness you are sharing me with Michelle.

Salamat!

In a new home in Aschheim

On May 1st, 2012, I changed my job and with this, came a bigger and a comfortble room with the luxury of a shower and an own toilet. Of course, it is a bit expensive than Schwesternwohnheim at the Klinikum Rechts der Isar but I am willing to pay more as long as I am feeling well.

It is about time for changes. Live life to the fullest, Never waste a minute for we never know what tomorrow will bring.

Have a good Thursday everyone!

Slept well last night!

I am speechless right now.

I had a sound, good sleep. The first day of May was good. A new job, new colleagues, new challenges.

Not to forget, a loving and caring special friend, H.P.P! I am the luckiest woman in this world nowadays.

I wish you all a good day. Be happy and enjoy every minute of the 2nd of May.

April Snow and First of May
