Visiting Crailsheim

Sitting (again!) inside an Intercity Express Train to Crailsheim via Nürnberg. We are leaving at 05:14, and will reach Nürnberg  at 06:29. From there, I have to catch the Regional Express Train to Crailsheim at 06:36 and will be in Crailsheim at around 07:41 a.m.

I have just read the letters from Margie. A special thanks to Christa for sending me the same before my visit to Crailsheim. The letters came delayed for Margie forgot the area code and it took some time to reach Munich. Anyway, I have them with me and am glad I can distribute the same to the sponsors. Please visit www.friendsfromgermany.blogspot.com for further information.

Frau Helga Fester turned 70 years old yesterday (June 28) and tomorrow will be the grand celebration and I am fulfilling a promise that I will be in Crailsheim on her 70th birthday. Though a day late, the promise to be around when she celebrates will be fulfilled.

Visiting Crailsheim means visiting Thomas again. Thomas was the son of Frau Fester, who passed away in 1997 due to illness. He was my "Examenspatient" for my practical Nursing examinations at the University Clinic of Heidelberg. Thomas invited me to Crailsheim, as a reward for my successful examinations but he lost his struggles to survive three days before my final written examinations. His mother, Frau Helga Fester, fulfilled her son's last wish, and she invited me to Thomas' funeral and so began the story behind visiting Crailsheim. Since then, Thomas' parents, Herr Waldemar Fester and Frau Helga Fester, consider me as their daughter and I can say that I am very lucky to have them in my life.

This time, I have a good news for them. I will be telling them that I have finally found my place under the sun. I am sure they will be happy to know that I have found someone worthy to spend the rest of my life with.

Home Sweet Home!

The countdown starts today.

I will be going home forever in some days from now. 

It is not Munich. Not San Fernando. Not Trece Martirez.

It is Switzerland!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Frau Fester!

Frau Helga und Herr Wallo Fester in Allgäu, Hopfen am See

Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag heute!

Ach, es wär so schön auf Erden,

gab es nur lauter nette Leute,

nett und allen wohlgesinnt

so wie das

Geburtstagskind.

P.S. Ich bin froh, dass Sie geboren sind! Herzlichen Dank für Ihre mutterliche Liebe und Fürsorge!

Sleepless...

but for Ging Ging and Sandra...

I was able to chat with Ging Ging, a very dear friend from the Philippines living in Dachau. She had her late shift also and cannot fall asleep like me. Ging Ging is one of my good friends here in Bavaria. We seldom see each other but we keep in touch whenever we can. We have been friends for almost twelve years now. 
Then Sandra saw me online on Yahoo and I just cannot ignore her because it was 06:30 in the morning in San Fernando, La Union, Philippines, and I do not want to spoil her day by not answering her messages.
Both asked how am I doing. What else? I have to say that I am very lucky and happy these days and good friends as they always are, they are glad to know that my new home is in Switzerland.

Goodnight, everyone.

Danke, Kuya "Peter"!

Foremost, thank you for regularly reading my blog, Kuya Gerd! I know it because of feedjit!

I am very proud of you, Kuya Peter. Thank you for the concern about my health. I would have gladly taken your work offer as your Office Assistant but Peter in Switzerland came in between. You are not less important but I know you understand that.

Thank you for your brotherly love.

Did I say already that you are the best Big Brother in this world?   

Mama Naty is surely happy and proud of you and looking upon us. Thank you for coming into the
Buendia Family! Truest to your words, from the very beginning, you are taking good care of us.

Maraming Salamat.

True Love...

stands by me!

Honestly, I try to preserve a bit of privacy on writing about the person who captured my heart and mind some months ago but this is my blog (a kind of artist freedom), and I want to let the whole world know that this man is worthy to have and be loved.

I am the luckiest woman on earth for having this man in my life now!

This man is holding the main rope which saves me from another downfall. I am very, very grateful to have H.P.P. Without him, my life would be empty and I would still be homeless.

I am going home very soon!!!!   Thanks a lot, for your love, care and affection H.P.P.

Hero = H.P.P.

by Mariah Carey

There's a hero

If you look inside your heart

You don't have to be afraid

Of what you are

There's an answer

If you reach into your soul

And the sorrow that you know

Will melt away

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

It's a long road

And you face the world alone

No one reaches out a hand

For you to hold

You can find love

If you search within yourself

And the emptiness you felt

Will disappear

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

Oh ho, Lord knows

Dreams are hard to follow

But don't let anyone

Tear them away, hey yea

Hold on there will be tomorrow in time

You find the way, hey

Then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

That a hero lies in you

Umm, that a hero lies in you

To my special hero, H.P.P.



Weary...

Feeling weary at this moment...

Yesterday, I ran errands and it exhausted me a bit. Well, not to forget, I was already weary after seven consecutive days of working alone. Hopefully, my colleague is recovering and can report tomorrow when I come back to my duty. I love my job but I have to take care of my physical health, too.

There are times when I think I just need to swallow my pride and can throw this kind of work behind me but my principles will not allow me, and so as long as I could stand on my own feet, I will not give up. The freedom to choose and to decide I have with me and I do not want to lose it at all.

I was able to visit Nora at the Kunstwerkstatt and she was crying as I came. I could feel that there is something wrong so I had to cover up my low energy and bad mood so I can give her comfort but she noticed that I was not even feeling any better than her. Two of our friends passed away. One due to illness but a young man in his twenties had chosen the unnatural way. Nora and I ended up crying and hugging each other. We promised to each other to be standing strong, whatever may happen in the future. 

We managed to exchange topics and at the end, we were laughing over our mischievousness and
silly talks. Seeing her again gave me another bunch of hopes.

I promised to visit her as often as I can. In that way, I will find some time for me to do some sketches. Work takes a lot of my leisure time and this situation should be changed and will soon be changed. It is just a matter of patience and time. Aadorf is waiting....

Have a little more patience!

A question....

Lately, I got a message from somebody with whom I lost contact with for many years already. At first, I was surprised because this person is suddenly interested how I am coping up with life and was asking how am I doing.

At a second glance, I felt offended and intimidated. Long years have passed and out of nowhere, this person just  took the right to ask. Worst, I know that this person is always informed about me, in one way or another, all through the years of silence and distance.

How and why can somebody be suddenly concerned about someone? Is it plain curiousness? What is the purpose? Is this person really concerned or just playing cards? Or this person cannot accept the fact that I am living happily ever after.

Whatever. I reserve the right not to answer. The book is closed. I am moving on.

Seven Consecutive Days...

Good morning, everyone!

I have been working for seven consecutive days and my duties require me nine or ten hours of multi-tasking. My muscles are aching and am still standing because of painkillers.

Am I glad that I know the situation will soon change. I just need the Swiss Recognition and somebody is kind enough to help me with the costs.

I am weary and tired but am inspired and am in love. Good reasons to get going.

"Go, Fighter....!"  

or better...

"Go to Aadorf, the soonest!"

Welcome Home, H.P.P.

Allow me to say "Welcome home H.P.P.!", landing today from Spartanburg, South Carolina via Charlotte, North Carolina, in Zurich, Switzerland.

Ich hoffe nur, der Traktor ist in Ordnung. 

Wow, it will be a double strike in July. India can wait!
I feel like a VIP!   And I think, in a very peculiar way, I am!
Merci, H.P.P.!

Stolen Shots....

Stolen Shot From Munich Hauptbahnhof  Foto Exhibition

June 16, 2012

A great photo from Munich Hauptbahnhof Foto Exhibition 

June 16, 2012

What a pity I cannot say where it is. I barely had time to read on and about the exhibited photographs at the Munich Central Station last June 16, 2012.

Great. Just great! A cave somewhere in .........

Christa Walking ....

The Park of the Famous Souls

Signs of  Eternity

Overraskelse....

H.P.P. is full of surprises..... and they are good ones. I am sure of that.
Ich bin total gespannt auf das Mitbringsel aus Spartanburg....South Carolina, USA. 
Have a good flight back to Switzerland!

Today, I was surprised that it is already the 22nd of June and I missed to greet, Dominik, Mara's son on his birthday. I was sixteen minutes late! I am sorry, Dominik. Again, belated Happy Birthday and I wish you luck, health and happiness.

Myla sent me thru email my Transcript of Records from the Krankenschwesterschule der Universität Heidelberg. Maraming Salamat, Myla!

Good neighbors in Eufrosina Heights are sending me good wishes thru my sister Myla. Thank you, folks, for the friendly treatment. Myla and her family are feeling good in Eufrosina.

Enjoy the day and get rid of unimportant matters.

In the midst of the rain...

Christa, Mary Jean und Michelle and I ate dinner in Kare Thai Restaurant near Sendlinger Tor in Munich. It was a happy afternoon with heavy rain and thunderstorm.

In the midst of the rain, sharing laughters and good food and taking a walk to the Marienplatz with our umbrellas open.... what a beautiful late afternoon!

I could not be happier these days. Things are working out well and they give me hope and comfort and I do not worry much about the future. I will just let things happen. Que sera, sera....

I am thankful of my hero, H.P.P. Without him, I would still be lost in trance.

"Go, Fighter!"

Jhe, a very good friend of mine from Legazpi City, Philippines, and who helped me in my child-help project in Pawa and Bogtong, is worrying about her mother. The latter is in the hospital having her much-needed operation. I wish her a speedy recovery.

When I was totally down, Jhe sent me a message thru Facebook saying "Go,Fighter!" These words linger in my mind and I will not forget them again.

Jhe, my thoughts are with you....

Six hours behind....

Indeed, we are in the universe. Spartanburg is six hours behind Munich's time, and San Fernando, La Union is six hours in advance!

After a long flight, H.P.P arrived well in Spartanburg and am glad to know that.

Myla, my sister, arrived well from Intramuros, Manila, who attended a cout hearing for me, and she brought me good news. 

I am meeting Christa, Mary Jean and Michelle today. Munich awaits a storm but I hope I can beat the time before the rain, lightning and thunderstorms come.  

With Christa Inside The Münchner Dom

Yesterday after a PM-AM nursing shift, I met Christa at around 16:00h before the Sendlinger Tor in Munich. We spent two hours of talk and laughters, drank our glasses of Apfelschorle and cups of Cappucino outside a Cafe, (sunny Tuesday with 26°C!) then went to the Münchner Dom to light up some candles for Simon, Christa's nephew, who is taking his examinations this week.

Goodluck, Simon!

Today, I will be meeting Christa again after my early shift at the Sendlinger Tor for dinner. We have to take advantage of our free times, for we have both tight schedules in the coming weeks.

Thank you, Christa, for your friendship. I treasure the same in my heart.

Over a cup of Capuccino...

First, I would like to wish H.P.P. a nice flight to Spartanburg, South Carolina. I will be missing this very special person.

Secondly, I wish my mentor, Atty. Rolando A. Suarez, former President of the Rotary Club of Paranaque, District 381, Philippines, a speedy recovery.

Atty. Suarez is like a father to me. I am a product of the Rotary Club and am always grateful of those Rotarians who helped me shape my mind and way of thinking. Without them, I would have not been able to enter college in the Philippines. Thank you, RC Paranaque!!

The Four Way Test of all the things we say and do, and I quote:

Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR ?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"

A simple test that could lead us all to never-ending happiness and fulfillment.

Leaving Home Temporarily....

The trails and rails of  Winterthur, Switzerland and Munich are getting familiar to me. I am sitting (again!) inside an European City Train passing through St. Gallen, Margrethen, Lindau, Buchloe, Kaufbeuren und Geltendorf to Munich.

This time, it is not destination Winterthur but it is leaving home for work in Aschheim, Kreis München. I love Munich. I have there my second family and dear friends and  they know that they will not be forgotten in case I turn my back from Munich to live in happiness.
I am deeply grateful that my search is ended. Life is just wonderful!! Thanks a lot, H.P.P.

Adobo Magnifico!!!!

Miscellaneous

I cannot ask for more.

My view of life and living changed since end of April 2012. I know now that nobody can harm me except myself. I have trusted my instincts and I am rewarded.

For the first time in my life, I do not worry about the future. I just want to live the moments. Struggles and hurdles can come and they can go swiftly. They are not important anymore.

Impeccable it is when you have someone who can share laughters with you.

Life is just wonderful and exciting since April 10, 2012!

Enjoy the sunny days, my dear readers!

Adobo At Home...

... and it is good I do not need to cook it by myself.

Better, someone special is cooking a Filipino recipe.
Best, it would be his first time to cook an Adobo and he is doing the same for me.

The thought of doing it deserves a respect.
The cooking and the intention to eat an unknown recipe requires courage.

Good food. Good weather. Good company. Good feelings.

This will be a perfect day.

Enjoy everyone!

Heights change perspectives...

Dare the steps.... and when you stumble and fall, just take it with humor....

The Quiet Moments...

Sitting alone in my room,  sipping my second cup of  powdered black coffee, I am reminiscing the past and I am a bit enlightened and comforted because I can figure out what my future would be. At a wink of an eye, I  know what I want in my life and it gives me a feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment. I am aware of my present and I am sure now, that I can sit aback and just enjoy the things around me.    

I am thankful of the things I have experienced in the past for  they influenced the way I think and I feel nowadays. For the first time, I am learning to appreciate every second of my life. To think that I almost gave up and without the help of my truest and loving friends around, I would not have learned to appreciate life and living on this earth.

Suddenly, everything has a meaning and I want to quote the "Olchis" message to me:

"For the optimistics, life is not a problem but is the solution"

I have my "quiet moments" and am beginning to live...

***
"Olchis" refers to Mara, Günter, Annamarie, Isolde, Dominik, Tobias, Lucy from Olching, Germany. 

Running out of battery...

Sitting inside an Eurocity from Winterthur to Munich, and I am running out of laptop battery!

Have a nice read later, folks! Enjoy your day!

"Everything I want To Do

...I want to do with you!"

I heard this song this morning as I woke up and it suited to my mood. I still cannot believe what is happening around me and I have to control my feelings and moods so that I can think rationally and would not fall into Euphoria. 

There are a lots of changes in my life, feelings that I have not experienced before are coloring my days and new wishes are coming true that I have to take some moments of pause so as to be aware of the happenings.

For sure, I know what I want to do with my life now. I found a new shelter. Nope, a "Home, Sweet Home" and I wish to spend the rest of my years with someone who is very passionate, loving and kind.

There are some hurdles to take but I have faith in me that some things just need time and patience and all will be settled and realized. 

I dare say, I would not think twice when mutual happiness is involved. I will go for it with all my heart.        

New challenges before me...

It is just a matter of time, paperwork, bureaucracy, etc. and  my workplace could be just some steps away from home!

I cannot believe this is happening. I am very grateful of the current blessings and luck pouring in.

Am I in heaven? Am I dreaming?

Nope. Everything is real. Wishes do come true.

Thank you, my "Wunschfängerengel"!

One fine, rainy day....

It is raining but it does not matter at all.

Seeing out of the window, I can see the dark clouds covering the green hills and it is a wonderful scenery seeing some raindrops falling onto rooftops while the leaves are waving smoothly and freely from the trees. It looks gray but bright sunrays are trying to shine all over.

I love these moments and I feel very tranquil and comfortable right now. 

Thank you, H.P.P for giving me a home.

A Fine Saturday Afternoon With The Olchis

Yesterday, I rushed from Aschheim to Olching to attend my post birthday celebration with the Olchis.

Thank you, my dear family in Olching, for that wonderful day. You all made my day!  

The Family was complete: Mama Annamarie, Mara, Günter, Isolde, Lucy, Dominik and last but not least, Tobias. They suprised me such an unforgettable self-made Pizza with Dinkelteig.

It was a hearty meal and I ate a lot for I was starving. I have to admit that my work keeps me from eating and drinking. At the end of my shift, I realized that I was not able to take (again!) my break to eat and drink something.

I was so hungry that I have to rushed to the next automatic vending machine at the Munich Central Station some 60 seconds before my SBahn to Olching came. I was able to pull out a pack of Gummy soft candies from Haribo. I lost some coins though because I hurried to my train and forgot to close my purse and I left a funny sound of falling coins as I got inside the train.

It was an amusing experience seeing the people picking up the coins I scattered behind me. Loosing some coins paid off. Such unexpected Katzenmomente bring funny moments, remind me that everything can happen unexpectedly.

So this Sunday's trip to Aadorf, Switzerland. It was not planned at all but that makes it somewhat special. I feel like a Piratenbraut who is waiting for her Captain to come.

The day can start worthwhile....

Doubles

This week I have a lot of ....

doubles!

Double duties, double responsibilities, double shifts....

and

double fun and happiness within a week.

Last night, somebody asked me why I prefer to nurse old people.

The answer is also a double.

First, old people between 80- 100 years of age, mostly in dementia, have many interesting stories to tell. It is fascinating when they suddenly remember things they have experienced in life.

Second but not least, I think and believe that people deserve the utmost care when they become weak and old. They have done their parts in a society and they should be given attention and recognition for what they have achieved in their lives. They are humans and should be treated as such. It is not only giving them enough calories and fluids to survive but also respect and attention.

I swore to an Oath at the "Krankenschwesterschule der Universität Heidelberg" and I will keep the promise to the best of my possibilities.

Getting old should not be a burden. It should be continuation of life and living. It is fun.

Ain't No Mountain High Enough

Diana Ross sings....


If you need me, call me.
No matter where you are, no matter how far.
Just call my name. I'll be there in a hurry.
On that you can depend and never worry.
(You see, my love is alive
It's like a seed that only needs the thought of you to grow.
So if you feel the need for company,
please, my darling, let it be me.
I may not be able to express the depth of the love I feel for you,
but a writer put it very nicely when he was away from the one he loved.
He said down and wrote these words:)
No wind, (No wind) no rain, (no rain)
Nor winter's cold
Can stop me, babe (oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you're my goal
No wind, no rain,
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go
I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You'll always have me
And if you should miss my love
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch you so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (Say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (Say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (One more time)
Ain't no river wild enough (Say it again)
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you

Happy Birthday, Marianne!

Allow me please to greet someone whom I have not yet met personally but I know that she is a great lady. It is her natal day. I wish her health, happiness and luck for her 84th year.

Enjoy your day and the blooming, colorful flowers, Marianne!

Happiness comes first....

Good morning, dear readers!

Today I have made a decision on what my priorities in life for the future would be and I came to a conclusion that I prefer happiness rather than the ladder of career. I think that at this age, I have been through all my possibilities and I am satisfied with what I have reached in my life.

I came from a very poor family. At the age of nine, I have been working to earn money and with much humility, I think I have reached my goals in life to uplift myself and others from the poverty and I cannot ask for more. I want to live life and savour every minute of it.

I am willing to give up everything for happiness. I have found it and will never let it go....

Carpe Diem...

Seize the day...

the days, the hours, the minutes and the seconds.

This month, I am going home twice!

If happiness has a name, it should be H.P.P!

Start your day with a smile...

Plausibilis

beifallswürdig, annehmbar, überzeugend

Synonym: Evidenz

P.S.

Now I know the meaning. The experience is yet to be made.

Happy Learning everyone!

Allium Sativum...

Garlic is known to be good for health. Researchers claim that Adenosin and Cystein Sulfoxide in garlic cloves can enhance and regulate enzymatic liver processes. Garlicin is proven to be antibiotic like Penicillin. Adenosin in garlic can prevent Thombocyte Aggregation  thus can lead to better coronary circulation.

There are a lot of interesting facts to read on about garlic in Internet but for me, garlic reminds me of my childhood in the Philippines. When I was young, I was afraid of darkness and my late mother had always comforted me by saying:

 "Do not be afraid, we have garlic hanging all over the Nipa Hut."

In the Philippines, people believe that garlic can drive away bad spirits, especially vampires.

Well, it did help when I was young. Nowadays, I know the truth about garlic and lately, I found out that garlic is one of my favorite spices.

Me? Just Happy!

What a fine, sunny day!

Happy Friends!



With Christa and Michelle At The Bavaria Park Biergarten

Der Würfel ist gefallen!

alea iacta est

aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie

What a good morning after a happy and a sound sleep in Michelle's bed! 

It was a great Saturday. It started with a good breakfast with Mary Jean and Michelle. Then we went to the Allianz Arena, the world-famous FC Bayern München Stadium.

In the afternoon, I fetched up Christa from the Frauenklinik Maistrasse and we had an unforgettable walk around the Alte Südfriedhof near Sendlinger Tor in Munich, the old cemetery where famous people rest in peace. This time, we visited Carl Spitzweg's tomb. I like this cemetery. It gives me a feeling of satisfaction and tranquility. People with accomplished goals in life lying deep in the ground but their spirits remain and are still alive in many of us.

Katzenmomente, die ich sehr schätze.....talking over a cup of Latte Machiatto with Christa, savouring a cheesecake with blueberries. We walked all the way from Sendlinger Tor to the Lindwurmstrasse where Mary Jean lives. The latter prepared the ingredients for my Green Papaya Recipe. I just have needed to cook the same. It was a delicious dinner full of hearty laughs!

After that, we took a walk around the Theresienwiese and we visited the Bavaria Park Biergarten. This time, I have a Weinschorle and am feeling pretty good this morning. No hangover. No headaches.

The best moment of the day were the words "Der Würfel ist gefallen!" I am very, very happy!

A happy life has begun and it continues.

My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
