Traveler's Notebook

Thank God It's Friday

2012-02-10T17:01:00.000+01:00

We love to travel

2012-02-07T21:26:00.000+01:00

Traveling is one thing that most people loved to do. However, we all know that not everyone has given a chance to travel it's because of financial problem. So for those people who can travel, then we should be thankful that we have this wonderful opportunity. For somehow we are given a chance to see the other side of the world. To appreciate the beauty of every place and to enjoy your time together with your family, friends, relatives or even loved ones.

Anyway, for the past few years, hubby and I keep traveling back and forth from my country and to his country. We have been enjoying the time together while were exploring the beauty of our country. And this year we are planning to travel in the other country, a country that we never visit before. We plan that we want to stay at the AirBed & Breakfast because they are affordable and it's perfect for people who don't have enough budget. The good thing for AirBed & Breakfast is that they offer private rooms for their guest, so that's also something we like.

Winter snow in NL

2012-02-04T18:29:00.001+01:00

Here's some pictures that I captured yesterday. I was just exploring the centrum alone but still I had a great time. Snow doesn't fall down every wintertime here in NL, so I grab the chance to enjoy it while it still here *wink*.

Gas grill

2012-02-04T15:46:00.000+01:00

A week ago, hubby and I did our window shopping at the other city. Since we don't visit that city so often, so it feels so nice to see something new. We enjoyed our time together and that's also nice, I know hubby don't like much shopping but its so nice of him that he accompany me with my likes in shopping, LOL. Anyway, it's our whole day shopping, so I grab the change to go in and out in every stores that I like. Until one item that we saw that it really caught our attention and that is the gas grill. We find it so unique that one, so we both like it so much but too bad we don't have yet our own house since we are still living with my parents-in-law, so it's not yet the right time to purchase that item. But when time we live on our own, I make sure to have one of those gas grills.

My ears hurt from the cold

2012-02-01T16:24:00.000+01:00

Djeee.. this morning I find it so cold. The temperature is below zero degrees, can you imagine how cold is that? Since I have a morning class, then I have no choice to escape from the cold but need to get out in bed early. I can feel the cold all over my body even though I wear many double clothing. Luckily, it’s not cold enough that it makes me freeze because I wore thick clothes. I wore gloves too and a muts (hat) but my muts doesn’t cover my ears. So when I’m came back home, my ears hurt it because it was frozen from the cold weather. So next time I go out, I know already what to cover for my ears *wink*.

The one my bro. likes

2012-01-30T19:41:00.003+01:00

Phewww,...today I really find it so cold outside. So after my class, I decided to stay home instead of doing some window shopping. Besides I can do my window shopping some other time, I just hope that the skirt that I like was still there. That's one of the main reasons why I want to go to the shopping mall this afternoon.

Anyway, since I decide to stay home, then I have enough time to update some of my blogs that I abandon for few weeks. But before doing that, I first do my normal routine and that is surfing through the net. And guess what I came across, a nice taylor 710ce l9, I didn't know this thing but I heard this from my brother. He wants to buy this thing when he has enough savings already, so I guess I can recommend him to check the item. My brother is really into musical instruments and I salute that when he wants something, he really save his money just to have it.

2012-01-30T17:42:00.001+01:00

Below zero degree

2012-01-30T17:40:00.000+01:00

Yup, you read it correctly, this week in NL the temperature will be below zero degrees, grrrrrr. I feel it already how cold it is this morning. This morning when I went to school, I feel like my hand was in the freezer haaaa. Though I wore gloves but still I can feel the cold not just in my hand but also in my body. Luckily I'm here already in NL for a couple of months, so my body didn't have a shocked feeling knowing that I came from a tropical country. I guess if I just arrived here in NL, then my body will be surprised for the changes of the weather.

Walgreens Prescription Savings Club

2012-01-29T11:00:00.001+01:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

Way back two years ago, my father-in-law was confined at the hospital due to some heart problem. Luckily now he is okay but he needs to maintain some medication for his heart. He has his health insurance but we all know that insurance doesn't cover everything that you spent. The medication is not just one or two or three that he need to take every day but its five different kinds of medication.

Well, the good thing is that Walgreens offers Walgreens Prescription Savings Club that helps everyone to save some money on more than 8,000 brand name and generic medications. In other word, you can avail some discount pricing on your medications purchase. They also offer discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, nebulizers and diabetic supplies. What a lovely offers to all the consumers out there.

What I like most in their offer is that for $10 a year, a family membership covers everyone in your immediate family, including a spouse, dependents 22 and younger and pets. Individuals may join for $5. Join and receive discount prices on your prescriptions.

For more information, you can follow them at Walgreens on Twitter and stay updated by liking them at Walgreens on Facebook.

Mobile contract renewal

2012-01-26T12:09:00.000+01:00

Hubby just extends his mobile contract weeks ago, so it means that he got a new mobile. Apparently, it took him 3 months to decide if he will extend his contract or not. Though he wanted to extend it but he was confused about which mobile that he will take. He was confused because the one that he likes is something that I don't like it much. In other words, I have other mobile that I like most but hubby doesn't like it much. So I gave my word to him that since he is the one that will use the mobile, he just got what he likes and not what I like. So now he got the mobile that he wishes to have it and seems he was happy and satisfied for it. And for me, I'm planning to open a new mobile contract also next month, so I don't need to think for long on what kind of mobile that I want because in the first place I knew it already what I want. I want to have the new Ipod touch with a geocaching GPS system on it. So in case I go somewhere, nothing to worry that I might get lost because I have a navigation system with me. Aside from that, this mobile is very cool *wink*.

A quick visit at the Peace Palace

2012-01-26T11:54:00.001+01:00

Here's the picture that I capture during our quick visit at the Peace Palace of NL last Saturday. The palace is located at Den Haag, one of the big cities of NL. The weather was so bad at that time that triggers us not to stay longer. Though we know It already that it's not allowed to get inside the palace but we have no place to stay dry. It was raining hard and it's windy, so we just arrived there, take some picture, enjoy the view for just a few minutes and we leave.

I’m a music lover

2012-01-26T11:15:00.001+01:00

Yup, you read it correctly, I'm a music lover but I'm so picky on what kind of music that I want. I prefer more on mellow music, love songs, some selected rock music and worship songs. I enjoy to listen music especially when I'm doing something. I feel that everything goes smooth once I accompany my music in the things that I do. Even when I go to sleep at night, I mostly have my headphone with me. It feels so relaxing that while I'm on the way to sleep, then I can hear some nice music that I like. Aside from that, when I travel I always have my mp4 with me or mobile where I installed several music's on it. However, for a couple of weeks I didn't use my mp4 anymore because there something wrong in the headphones. I start missing it already but for now nothing I can do about it.

Last night, hubby asked me what I want to have next month. So far, I have the things that I like already, so directly goes into my head is an in-ear headphones. Well he promised that he will buy me one, so I just wait and see. I can't wait to used again my mp4.

Wish to visit this place ;)

2012-01-26T11:14:00.000+01:00

This year, hubby and I have no plan to visit Philippines. Well, I guess it’s time to explore the other part of Europe aside keep going back and forth to the Philippines. So I’m very vocal to say to my husband that we will try to spend some vacation in the other part of Europe. I know he wants to visit Philippines more but this year it’s not possible because of my status here in NL.

Anyway, a few days ago, hubby suddenly asked me which country in Europe I love to visit someday. Phewww…a smile on my face and without any hesitation I enumerate some countries of Europe that I like to visit in the future. Of course Paris is part of it, then Italy and Spain. Aside from that, I also wish to visit London, I heard so many nice things to see there, so I hope someday I can be there to see those beautiful spots in real.

Wonderful day

2012-01-20T19:48:00.000+01:00

I'm so happy that yesterday I got two nice things, first was the shoe package that I ordered online and second was the Visa reward card for my husband. It's just a nice day to receive something that we like, even more something that we didn't expect. The shoes that I ordered look really great especially the one I bought for my husband, looks so nice on him. So after enjoying our pair of shoes, we also enjoy the reward card that we get.

Thank God it's Friday!

2012-01-20T19:44:00.001+01:00

I’m excited to see it

2012-01-18T13:05:00.000+01:00

After my class today, directly I went home because I'm expecting something to arrive this day. I ordered some shoes via online store and delivery day takes about 2-3 days. It's the third day today since I didn't hear anything from yesterday, so I expect that I will receive it today. It's now almost 1 pm and still I didn't someone rings our doorbell, so I just see it later. I hope that before this day is over, I able to get my order. I'm excited already to see my order in real. I bought some nice boots for myself and reebok pump shoes for my husband and nephew. Watching those shoes in the picture, they look so beautiful, so I hope in real they also look beautiful.

A gift

2012-01-14T18:59:00.000+01:00

Christmas was done already and still I received some nice presents from my in-laws. Well, it’s not that I expect something because my birthday is still many months to go. So it’s really a surprised for me to receive 2012 pacsun coupons. Actually, it’s for me and for my husband, so were very thankful for the generosity of my in-laws. I can’t wait to shop online at Pacsun store. The store offers clothing, shoes, jewelry and perfume for people to purchase. So it’s time to explore the site to check what’s interesting things that I can purchase *wink*.

Seasons Greetings!

2011-12-25T20:41:00.001+01:00

We're out of ink

2011-12-21T23:23:00.002+01:00

Christmas is almost approaching, aside that we are busy preparing for our christmas foods and presents. We also make sure that our photo camera and photo printer are all ready to use. Of course we want to have some pictures for every Christmas that we spend together, in that way we can keep a simple souvenir in every Christmas season that comes. When hubby check the ink of our photo printer some ink was empty already. So we need a new ink cartridges as soon as possible. So we make sure that before Christmas eve come, we have a complete color of new inks again.

Xmas decoration @ Den Haag centrum

2011-12-21T23:15:00.003+01:00

Here's a quick photo captured that I took this afternoon at Den Haag centrum. A simple xmas lights that hang in every corner of the centrum. It's simple but looks nice especially in the evening.

We like to join

2011-12-21T21:28:00.003+01:00

My classmate and I are planning to enroll for the yoga class. In fact, we inquire already the schedule of the class and still thinking which time and day fits for our busy schedules. Probably end of this month we can make a final decision already on which time we get. I'm excited to join this yoga class, it's my first time to do some fitness activity so I can wait to start it next year. As of now, I'm looking already for a nice yoga mat bag that I can use during the class. Well, it's a simple Christmas present for myself *wink*.

Are you secured enough?

2011-12-18T18:43:00.001+01:00

One of the best thing to secured your self or your loved ones is availing a life insurance. Term life insurance is the most basic form of life insurance. Life insurance refers to the protective cover on the life of the individual insured and provision of financial benefits in case of loss of life of that individual within a certain period. The advantage when it comes to life insurance is the fact that it ensures that your loved ones are taken care of if you are not around to do it. To know more about insurance, you can visit term insurance info.

My weekend greetings

A nice Xmas present for her

2011-12-14T15:04:00.000+01:00

I'm sure every one of us are now busy doing some Christmas shopping for their family, loved ones, relatives or even close friends. The stores in the city are also getting crowded, seems like every day busy. Well, it's understandable because Christmas season is almost approaching, so most people do their Christmas shopping in advance rather than doing the last minute shopping. I didn't do much Christmas shopping at the stores here in the city but this time I want to do online shopping. Aside that it's no hassle, I can select easily the items that I want. I have a close cousin that undergo her training and my target for my Christmas presents to her is to purchase a medical scrubs. As of now, I'm asking her parents what's the exact color of the scrubs she wore, then I can purchase it online. I don't want her to know that I purchase a nice scrubs for her or else the excitement will be gone.

Explore, dream and discover

2011-12-01T14:46:00.002+01:00

Plan to purchase

2011-11-30T22:11:00.000+01:00

My camera is getting old already. I guess I have that for about four to five years. So far, it still works okay, but compare to some new cameras now, seems like the resolution is different. Many new cameras that we can buy in the market and sometimes I'm confused which one I will purchase if ever I make a final decision already. I heard from a friend that fuji digital cameras are great and not so expensive in everyone's pocket. And the online review of this camera is also good. Therefore, I can ensure that this camera is worthy to purchase *wink*.

Watery Wednesday

2011-11-30T22:05:00.001+01:00

Online purchase

2011-11-30T21:57:00.000+01:00

Online shopping is the easiest way to shop because in just few minutes click, then you can select and purchase the item that you want. Unlike going to the normal stores, aside in a long waiting line especially in this upcoming Christmas season, you can't ensure that the one your searching is available in one store only. Therefore, you have no choice, but to go in and out in every stores just to search the thing you want. Then, it used so much time already to search the item.

Same thing as we purchase some medications in the drugstore. Aside that it's a long waiting, it's not 100% sure that the medication you need is available in one drugstore only. Therefore, I prefer to purchase the medications through canadian pharmacy online. Aside that they offer discounts, you can guarantee that it's low price. And no worry about the delivery because its guarantee that it will be deliver on time.

It's so foggy

2011-11-20T18:49:00.001+01:00

Djee this day was really foggy. Even when afternoon came, still it's so foggy outside. So I grab my camera and took a picture from the back view of our house.

Oh, Orlando!

2011-11-20T16:26:00.003+01:00

Every one of us has its own dream place to visit. I'm sure you have that too. So when someone asked me about my dream place, then mostly I answered Orlando. I heard so much about the place and it makes me curious. Many tourist spots to visit and it's one of the place where several tourists people visit. It's just a sign that this place is truly great and amazing to stay with especially for a nice vacation with your family, friends or even loved ones.

Orlando is a city in the central region of the U.S. It is one of the world's fastest-growing cities. And it is among Florida's major cities and a center for digital media and bio medicine. The city welcomes more visitors than any other place in the state. And the main reason, of course, is Walt Disney World, which, along with Universal Orlando, SeaWorld Orlando, and a host of other attractions, of varying degrees of quality, attracts millions of people a year to a previously featureless plot of scrub-land.

So if you wish to visit this place, don't worry where to stay because Orlando hotels offer great prices and service for their valued customers.

Quick visit at Zoetemeer centrum

2011-11-20T16:18:00.003+01:00

Here's the pictures that I captured during our quick visit at Zotemeer centrum. The main reason we went to Zoetemeer was to pick the PS3 games that hubby bought online. Since the place that we pick up was not far from the centrum, so we grab the chance to check the stores before going back home.

Snow bording goggles

2011-11-18T12:47:00.000+01:00

When I was a kid, I keep wondering about those snow. Since I came from a tropical country, snow is something we don't have at all. Well, my sisters and I that time really wish to have snow in our country that for somehow we experience also how it feels with those snowflakes in the air. But that's a kiddie conversation that time, of course we had many questions why in my country we don't have snow and some other country they have. We wish to have it haaa because in my country we only have two seasons for the entire year. It's a wish that is impossible to happen in a tropical country.

Anyway, after years that passed by, a wish for me came true. Not that it snow in my tropical country, but apparently, I'm living in a foreign land where my husband live. Across a thousand miles away from my family but with my loving husband next to me. And living in this country, seems like a dream come true for me to experience those snow. Of course, I still feel excited every time it snow here. And sometime wish that hope my sisters and brother can see what I see, can experience the cold that I experience right now, can enjoy the snowflakes together with me.

However, after few years of experienced with all those snow, then I came to the point to wonder in some country that has a heavy snow. I sometimes saw it on the TV that they wear already Snowboard Goggles with such a very thick jacket

Snow goggles are forms of protective eyewear that usually enclose or protect the area surrounding the eye in order to prevent particulates, water or chemicals from striking the eyes.

Den Haag Skyline

2011-11-18T11:57:00.001+01:00

One thing that I know if where almost back home is seeing this Den Haag skyline. In a far distance of driving on the highway, you can easily see this skyline. Actually, the city don't have much skyline compared to Amsterdam, which is the capital of NL.

Den Haag or The Hague is one of the big cities in Netherlands. It is the capital city of the province of South Holland.

Present for her grandparents

2011-11-18T08:04:00.000+01:00

I was awake early today and I can't sleep back anymore. So to entertain myself, I take some time to check my e-mail and sign in my yahoo messenger. Ping! a sound from my chat box that sent me a message. It comes from a friend of mine that message me. So I take some time to chat since it was month ago we chatted here before. We talked a lot about our personal lives until we reach to the point about Christmas presents. She is already busy shopping for Christmas gifts, wow! And she asked me if I have some ideas for her grandparent's present. I met once her grandparents and I saw them before using a cigar. So I suggested to her to buy a nice Swisher Sweets Cigars. I'm pretty sure they would like it because there some kind of special flavorings produces a very mild, sweet tasting, satisfying smoke. And luckily, she's happy with my idea and planning to purchase that swishers soon.

I just remembered

2011-11-17T20:16:00.000+01:00

It was years ago that I attend the wedding of one of my classmates in college. Upon checking some of her wedding presents, someone gave her a nice sexy garters. We laugh for it knowing that she is a conservative type of person. However, when she checked the design, she finds it nice too. She told everyone in that time that she is not closing her door that maybe in the future she will use the sexy garter. So now just came into my mind that probably now she used that present already. Just a thought about it *wink*.

Me standing on the bridge

2011-11-09T16:50:00.001+01:00

Here's my entry for this week watery Wednesday. This picture was taken last Sunday during our visit at Haagse Bos (forest) here in Den Haag.

Renovating at Den Haag centrum

2011-11-09T16:22:00.003+01:00

Den Haag centrum is not so far from home, so every time I visit the centrum, I always stare this building construction. As of now they are breaking the old building and as the plan that I heard they will build a nice new building with some nice stores on it. It's a bit messy in the centrum now because there's other building also that they break and still busy constructing it. Aside from that bicycle parking are everywhere. So when the centrum becomes crowded, it's too difficult to walk in due to many bicycles that park. So my interest in shopping in the centrum becomes lesser now, I feel that it's much better to shop in the other centrum. But in the future, when everything is done already, then for sure the centrum will be nicer again.

Just surfing

2011-11-08T21:01:00.001+01:00

About four weeks to go, then it's Sinterklaas feast here in NL. It's more on children's feast, but my husband's family still celebrate it in an adult way. It became a tradition to the family to celebrate. Well, it's a lot of fun, but also a lot of work. We make something using all those colored paper or cardboard and we hide the normal presents in there.

Anyway, while hubby is busy preparing for his Sinterklaas presents, I'm also busy surfing the net. Guess what, I came across this gopromos promotional notepads. I'm surprised for the affordable price they offer. Well, I plan to purchase it and maybe in the future I can use the notepads. I want to share it also to my in-laws. So guys, what are you waiting for, it's time to purchase this items now before it's too late.

Ruby Tuesday

2011-11-01T21:41:00.003+01:00

Here's my entry for this week meme ruby Tuesday, a rambutan. I was craving for this fruit already, luckily when we visit the black market months ago, there was a big Asian store that sell some Filipino foods and fruits.

Jazz music presentation

2011-11-01T14:26:00.001+01:00

These were old pictures that I captured during the jazz music presentation that was closed to our house. The area was surrounded with cafes and restaurant, so those jazz musician played some music for just few minutes and drove it again to the next stop over. It was crowded that time, but the music hmm...it's not my cup of tea, LOL.

New task for her

2011-10-31T12:43:00.000+01:00

Being far away from my family, relatives and friends, internet and mobile phones are the only way that I can keep in touch with them. So I'm very thankful for our technology because without that, then it's hard to update what's happening to them especially that I'm living in the other side of the world.

Anyway, one of my close friend just message me in my e-mail about her latest update of her job. Apparently now, she has a new task for her job and she was assigned in the Chart Assembler Jobs. She did not explained to me what kind of job is that, so I'm clueless about it. With the help of the internet I got to know that one of the tasks of being a chart assembler is to maintain the chart and to check and review each document for presence and correctness of patient identification and proper unit number assignment.

Mother and son conversation

2011-10-31T12:20:00.002+01:00

Every Saturday, hubby mostly go with mom to the big supermarket to do some grocery. Well, sometimes I'm there if I woke up early. They prefer to do some grocery early in the morning because it's not so crowded. And last Saturday I was with them because I wanted to buy the ingredients of the moist cake that I want to bake. So while walking along with them, we heard the mother and son conversation. The son was, I guess 7 years old. I don't understand it very well because of the language, but hubby and mom translated it to me. The kid was pointing an adult diapers that he wants to buy for his little sister. And the mother explained to him that it's not for babies, but for adults with various conditions, such as incontinence, mobility impairment, or dementia. After all the explanation, finally the kid understand and directly pull the hand of his mother to search for the perfect size diaper to his baby sister. Anyway, we just find it so sweet for the little boy that he remember his little sister.

Blue Monday

2011-10-24T22:16:00.001+02:00

It was month ago that we visited the Darling market here in NL. Actually, we visited it that time because mum wants to watch those doll houses displayed. And of course if there something nice that she likes in those miniature things, then buy it. While exploring the market, I saw this doll stand with some blue color on it. Perfect for my blue Monday meme.

Forest captured pictures

2011-10-19T16:03:00.001+02:00

Hi guys, I'm sharing here some pictures that I captured during our visit at Haagse bos (forest) here in Den Haag, NL.

Wooden roller coaster

2011-10-19T12:38:00.003+02:00

I was enjoyed watching the wooden roller coaster at Efteling. Hubby and I ride this twice and it's great. In fact, we want to ride it again, but we were running out of time already. It's the new ride they had this time, so it's very popular. Therefore, it has a long waiting line because it's crowded.

Dragon show at Efteling

2011-10-18T19:17:00.004+02:00

Check this out the video that I took at the Efteling Theme Park. I'm fascinated for the latest show they had, it's a dragon with five heads. Well there's a story with it, but I don't understand exactly because it's dutch language. However, the show was impressive because of the amazing action and how they make the dragon.

Tracfone for the family

2011-10-17T19:02:00.001+02:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TracFone for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Every time I talk to my aunt who is currently in the US. I often heard her complain about their phone bills at home. Everyone at home has their own mobile, which is useful especially for her children. The fact that she can easily reach them when they are not at home, it's also handy. However, the disadvantage is, it cost more for them. Luckily, there someone that introduce to them about the Tracfone.

Tracfone company offers the least expensive way to own and use a cell phone in America. There are no contracts, no credit checks, no activation charges or cancelation fees. This phone is perfect for the family, then you can keep in touch your children any time you want. Tracfone offers Senior Value cellphone for old people who can't see clearly, with the big text and letters. And no worries about the signal because you can Get into Everywhereness coverage and excellent reception/connectivity.

Tired in shopping

2011-10-16T16:29:00.001+02:00

Phuu..it's a long walked we did today, going in and out in every stores. Hubby was searching for something, but he can't find it. So bro-in-law encourage him to try to look through some online stores, maybe it's available there. We stumble this Clearance Outlets that offers great deals. Aside from that they provide a wide selection of products to choose from. And the thing that hubby was looking for is available in that store. It's very useful this store, I can recommend this to my Friends and Family whenever they want to do some online shopping.

Baptism gift

2011-10-14T08:09:00.001+02:00

A friend of mine message me to ask if it's okay with me to be one of the godparents of her baby girl. Though I'm not there to stand with it during the baptism, so still I accept it because I want it. The baptism will happen next on the second week of December. So I have enough time to search for gift for the little one, then I can send it by post. Upon keep searching through the net, I came across this unique baptism gifts. They have many choices and it starts me to get confused. Many nice gifts, phewww...Well, I need to ask some help from my mother-in-law to decide which one is better.

Shopping time

2011-10-13T12:03:00.003+02:00

While mum is busy sewing for her new curtains, then I will do my window shopping alone at Den Haag Centrum. So far I didn't feel any toothache and I hope it stay like this forever. I just need to be careful for the foods that I ate or else I got tootache again. My upper teeth still sensitive, so maintain lugaw as my breakfast today and probably my dinner also tonight.

Anyway, see you guys later when I'm back home. I just see what things I see in the store, but one thing is for sure I will buy a new boots haaaa. Have a beautiful day!

Efteling 2011 visit

2011-10-12T21:43:00.006+02:00

Efteling is one of the amusement parks here in NL. And visiting there again and again would always give us fun. It's already our fourth times visit in the park and still we had a wonderful time together. We love to ride those roller coasters and some other adventure rides. However, some rides we don't dare to ride it's because we know that we got sick for it.

Aside in those rides, children would enjoy walking in the fairy tale forest. In the forest, there's some statue of the well-known fairytale such as Cinderella, Sleeping beauty, Snow white and the 7 dwarfs and many more.

It's a big help

2011-10-04T15:03:00.000+02:00

My sister was happy that finally their house is well furnished already. I guess it took them for about 2 years to furnished it all. And now that it's all done, they can now live more comfortable than before. She's very thankful that she avail this personal loans service. With that money she loan, it helps a lot to finish their house. So now, the stressful days about how to finish the house is over. All they think now is the monthly billing at her loans but she said to me thats all okay. What's more important is the house that their wishing to be furnish at all.

Walking in the forest

2011-10-04T14:35:00.005+02:00

Having a nice sunny day here in NL makes me feel happy already. Probably because it's less nice weather here and mostly its cold and chilly. I start missing the Philippine weather already, LOL. I miss those sunny days, then I can easily wear my summer outfit.

Anyway, yesterday the weather was pretty good. Its the last day of having a nice weather, so today the temperature goes down which makes me feel chilly already to walked in my short sleeve dress. So we grab the chance yesterday to take some walked at the Haagse bos (forest) here in Den Haag. It's my second time visit in this forest, so I still enjoy it because my first visit it was winter time. Everything was all covered with snow and all the tress were bald in that time. But this time its exactly different. It's autumn season, we expect that there were lots of falling leaves already but when we arrived there, most of the trees were still green. Not much falling leaves yet on the ground. So we just enjoy walking, watching some views and taking some pictures.

Holiday time

2011-10-03T19:44:00.001+02:00

Spending holiday is the nicest time to be relaxed and to spend quality time with your loved ones or with your family. Aside from that, it's the time that we can explore some places that we wish to visit. Though not everyone has given a chance to do this, but I'm pretty sure if there is a chance, then for sure we would love to have a holiday.

I'm so happy and blessed that for somehow I experience to spend a holiday with my loved ones and family. In fact, I have been through some places that never in my dreams I wish to visit, but it happened. It makes me feel happy and thankful that my husband let me experience to visit some other country. I have been through some European counties, so for a change, I want to experience spending a nice USA holidays. I heard many stories about some tourist spots in the US because my mother-in-law's friend has a yearly visit the country. Well, advantage for her because she has sister who live there, therefore, she can stay to her house. However, she sometimes stayed at Orlando holidays for just few days.

Anyway, for people who don't have any family or relatives to stay with and wishes to visit New York city, then it's a perfect time to stay at the New York apartments.

Market visit

2011-09-30T14:49:00.000+02:00

Phu... I'm glad that I'm back home now after hours of walking to the market here in Den Haag. The weather was nice, but makes me feel so tired fast from walking, probably because I keep sweating. I rather walked for long when the weather is a bit cooler. Well, our visit in the market was nice, we ate lekkerbek. It's one of the reason that sometimes we go to the market it's because there's a fish store there that sells delicious lekkerbek. Aside from that, exploring the market sometimes was also nice.

Family vacation plan in 2012

2011-09-23T19:31:00.001+02:00

Still few months to go before this year end, but hubby and I together with my in-laws starts planning already for our family vacation next year. For a change this time, hubby and I will skip our vacation in Philippines and try some other country to spend a nice vacation. However, this vacation plan is not just the two of us, but together with the family. Like they said, the more the merrier, right?

Anyway, our target place that we want to visit next year is London. A perfect time to spend a holiday because it's the venue of the summer Olympics 2012. Well for sure it's going to be a lot of fun to see the Olympics in live. I know the family likes watching Olympic sports and this is our chance to watch it in real and not just on TV. For the place to stay there, it's nothing to worry because someone recommend us to stay in a self catering holiday home to save some money and have more space. I'm referring to stay at the London holiday apartments, a perfect place to stay with my family. Aside in watching the games, we want also to explore the place and visit those well-known museums, great shopping center and tourist attraction such as The Jewel Tower, Madame Tussauds, Admiralty Arch and many more.

SO if you're also planning to visit London same time as we visit, then don't miss the chance to stay either in the place where we stay or at the Westminster apartments 2012.

Prinjesdag (Prince's Day)

2011-09-20T14:55:00.000+02:00

I was just watching on the television the celebration of Prinjesdag and it's really crowded in the centrum. Though the government building is not that far from home, but I wasn't able to see it in real. However, watching it on Tv was also great at least I'm comfy sitting in a comfortable couch together with my in-laws. It's my first time to see this kind of event here in NL so I'm curious how it goes, luckily my in-laws were there and they explain to me. Anyway, maybe next year I can join the crowd already and see Royal family riding in the golden carriage.

Prinsjesdag (English: Prince's Day) is the day on which the reigning monarch of the Netherlands (currently Queen Beatrix) addresses a joint session of the Dutch Senate and House of Representatives in the Ridderzaal or Hall of Knights in The Hague.

The occasion is prescribed by the constitution (source : wikipedia)

The point of sale or known as POS systems is computer software and hardware networked together to track sales and inventory as they occur. There are benefits in using this system such as it prevent theft, reduce shrinkage, timely and Accurate Reports.

First time I see it

2011-09-16T19:43:00.001+02:00

It was months ago since I visited the hospital here in NL. I was with my mother-in-law in that time to accompanied her for her check up. So while waiting for her, I take some time to walked around inside the hospital. A kind of machine that caught my attention, a machine that I never saw before. I was curious about it, so I went back to mom and asked her about the machine I saw. She told me it's a point of care carts. A useful machine that most hospital here in NL used it.

Moon Festival in Den Haag

2011-09-14T16:31:00.005+02:00

It was last Saturday that there's a Chinese celebration here in Den Haag centrum. The celebration is called Moon Festival. Since we live close to the centrum, so we grab the chance to witness the celebration.

The annual Autumn Moon Festival is an important Chinese holiday which celebrates the abundance of the Summer harvest. It is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month of the Chinese calendar, when the moon is said to be at its fullest and brightest.

Eee Pad Asus

2011-09-14T15:59:00.003+02:00

For few months. I keep thinking if I want to buy an ipad for myself, but I'm confused which brand. There are many nice ipads that has been released in the market, so it's so confusing already which one is nicer. Someone that I know recommend me to purchase the Eee Pad Asus. He told me it's a good brand since he has one of it. So atleast now, I have an idea already on which brand I will purchase soon.

Just driving

2011-09-11T20:14:00.002+02:00

The weather was nice a few days ago, so hubby and I drive around to explore a bit. I'm still here in here in NL for 2.5 months, therefore, some place still unfamiliar to me. So I mostly take some shoots while hubby was busy driving. Then we drove in the farmland because it's less traffic compared in the main highway. I notice that there where few people in the village that has a car garage that was made of metal buildings.

Fireworks display @ Scheveningen

2011-09-11T16:51:00.004+02:00

It was 2 weeks ago that hubby and I witness the fireworks display at Schevningen. It's a contest between several countries such as China, Japan, Brazil, Holland and other countries that I don't remember anymore. The fireworks display happened in 3 days, but hubby and I just watch it for one day due to hectic schedules for the other days. However, watching it for once was enough already. It's just great to see those beautiful fireworks in the sky. I took some pictures and video.

remote controlled cars

2011-09-10T15:04:00.000+02:00

I'm away from home for more than 2 months now. I start missing my nephews and nieces. But luckily we have now high technology to keep in touch our family that is far away from us. I sometimes chat to my family or sometimes I call them through there mobile. And just yesterday, I called my little nephew on the phone and asked how's his study. He is now a kindergarten student, so he shared to me things he does at school. He told me that he did well at school and ask if he can get a reward because his a good boy at school. I can't help it, but laugh for what he said. So I asked him what he wants and without any doubt, directly he said he wants remote controlled cars. Pheww... he has an expensive taste in toys, LOL. So probably one of these days I will look for that kind of car, then I can send it to him.

What is love

2011-09-10T14:55:00.001+02:00

I stumble

2011-09-10T14:52:00.000+02:00

Phewww...what a long day of walking. I was with hubby and bro-in-law doing some window shopping and watching the Chinese market display. The weather is so nice that's the reason that we enjoy walking outside. But walking for long is not really my cup of tea. I don't like walking for long.

Anyway, I'm home now, so I can relax my feet. So for the meantime I do some surfing here in the net and I stumble this old flash animation cartoons. I find it funny and cool, so I share it to hubby and to some of my friends.

Plant that we passed by

2011-09-09T19:12:00.001+02:00

This picture was taken last Saturday. We were on the way home after the volleyball event at the beach and we passed by this plant. I don't see so often a plant in a closed view as like this, so I took a picture.

A big help for her

2011-09-09T16:48:00.000+02:00

A friend of mine was very depressed weeks ago. Problems here and there arrived almost at the same time. It stressed her up because she doesn't know exactly where to starts. She even asked me if she can loan some money from me, but bad timing also because I don't have extra money to lend on to her. Luckily, there someone that recommend her to try the check city cash advance and there it helps her to solved her problem. SO in terms of emergency, check city is the best solution for financial needs.

Useful gadget to travel

2011-09-08T15:05:00.002+02:00

It feels so nice that when you travel, then you feel that you're secured to the destination that you want. It's not that you still need to search in a map the location because we have now garmin trucking gps device. This is a very useful device not only for a travelers, but also for business. Like the company wants to deliver something into a certain place, then with the help of this device, it goes all smooth. In fact, my husband has this kind of device and that's what we used every time we spent a family vacation.

Men's talk

2011-09-08T14:54:00.001+02:00

I was happy that the beach volleyball that I attend last weekend at hubby's work was done. They had luck because on that day the sun shines and whole day its dry.

Anyway, most of my husband's colleagues were men, therefore, I need to listen those men's conversation, which is too difference from ladies talked, LOL. Well, most of there topic was about men's stuff, but one that interest me most was about cars. One of hubby's colleague just complain about his old mats that it starts to irritate him. SO he told us that before this month end he will purchase a new bmw mats.

Cafe that we passed by

2011-09-05T14:05:00.006+02:00

Hubby and I were walking in the street on the way to Catholic church and we passed by this cafe that caught my attention. It's a familiar word because we used it in my bisaya dialect, but this words are also spanish words. Some bisaya words are also spanish words it's because for many years ago, Philippine was under by the Spanish colonization. And that's the reason why we adapt some spanish words.

Anyway, it is very inspiring when entrepreneurs blend their marketing degree online with a bold online hospitality management degree, resulting in a successful business.

Best hotel in Italy

2011-09-03T20:58:00.002+02:00

My friend just visited Italy a month ago and I was amazed to watch all the tourist attraction they visited. I hope that someday I can visit Italy too.

Anyway, when my friend visited Italy, they stay at hotel cattolica. It's one of the best hotels in Italy. Many positive feedback I've heard from them about this hotel. Aside that it's a lovely place to stay, the people that work there are very friendly and accommodating. They really make their guest feel comfortable and happy during their stay. And that's one factor that my husband and I like it. So when time comes we visit Italy, we know already where to stay. At least, it's a recommended hotel from someone that we know.

Dream city to visit

2011-09-03T20:34:00.004+02:00

New York City - Have you visited this city? Well, when I was a kid, I already heard many positive feedback about New York city like many nice tourist attraction, a great place to shopping and many more. Makes me think that time that maybe in the future I can visit that place, then I can see it in my two eyes those beautiful tourist attraction that I see in the internet, postcards or pictures.

Anyway, until this time I still never got a chance to visit that place. However, I have some friends who visited the place already. They are the one who share to me their experiences. In fact, they told me that Visiting the place makes it easier now for tourist people because they have this vacation rentals new york. With all those nice stories that I've heard from my friends, it gives me more exciting feeling to visit there too. Well, as of now, I open this topic to my husband already and told him about the things we can do there. So hopefully we can visit someday, so set aside for the meantime our trip to Philippines. Well, for sure we stay in vacation rentals NYC, the one that my friends recommend to us. This vacation rentals "city" is also available in Chicago and Paris.

Skywatch Friday

I just like it

2011-08-31T21:13:00.003+02:00

I love reading celebrity news, either local or international it doesn't matter for me. I just want to be updated for the latest news about the celebrity especially those celebrities that I like most. And when it comes to celebrity weddings, then that's even more interesting for me to read. Of course like any other women, we get curious about the bridal gown of the celebrity, the kind of ring she wears, the decorations and many more.

Safaripark visit

2011-08-31T16:11:00.005+02:00

It's our second time that we visited this Safaripark. So we knew if they made some changes or if they upgrade something. And yes they add and change something, so it's also nice for people who visited the park before, then we see something new. Anyway, I like this park because it's unique. Makes me feel like I'm in Afrika because of those animals that walked around while we do the auto safari. They were walking so close in our car that I almost can reach then in my arms. So easy to take a close shot. It's fun because we feel the excitement when they cross the road and we were waiting until they were done. The park has a boat safari too, and in that boat safari, we enjoy the scenic view of the nature. The animals that relaxing and just walking around. In case you don't dare to drive your car in the auto safari, then there's a bus safari. It drove in the same route as the car only the difference is you're in the bus with the big group of people. There someone that explain about things we saw and can enjoy those animals that walk around. Indeed, it was a fantastic day, even though we arrived there late.

In the future, I think it would be helpful to look for classes through accredited-online-colleges.org or even some online masters degree programs to further enhance my travels, making it more meaningful by gaining a deeper understanding.

Rack card

2011-08-31T08:01:00.002+02:00

Living in one of the big cities here in NL is such a great pleasure, at least that's what I feel. Everything is very accessible such as the embassies, shopping malls, government buildings, hotels, museums and of course some tourist spots. No wonder that when it's summertime, the city becomes very crowded because many tourists people loved to visit the place. My husband and I almost explore the nicest landmarks and tourist destination here. Well, every time we visit a museum or so, directly we got the next target place to visit because inside the museums, they have some rack cards display. With that cards, it gives us clear information of the known landmarks and tourist destinations. So no hassle especially for tourist people to search on the intenet the well-known tourist destination if those cards already give us a clear overview of the place.

Anyway, people not just look at the text of the card, but also the way the card has been made. The overview pictures, neatness and the quality of the paper. The nicest card you made, the more people get interest because they get attention to the colorful card. So if you want to promote and advertise your business or products, avail this rack card printing services. They offer great service that will help you to promote your business towards many people. You can either customize your rack card printing in your own choice. Isn't that great!

Blue Monday

Good Monday everyone! here's my entry for my Blue Monday meme, a blue car riding at the auto safari. I captured this picture while were walking in the safari park. A perfect shot for this meme.

It work

2011-08-26T21:58:00.001+02:00

It was a few years ago that I did my tutorial job. The tutorial center that I worked before was new. Therefore, not many parents knew yet that they can enroll their children for tutorial. So to be able to promote the tutorial center, we did this leaflet distribution outside the schools. In that way, we can advertise that tutorial center. And guess what it works. Few weeks after, many parents inquired us and enrolled their children. So our hard-work was worth it.

Seaching for job

2011-08-25T19:33:00.002+02:00

My fried and I were chatting this afternoon and it's so funny because we both did the same. We were both busy searching for jobs via online. I thought that I'm the only one who feel bored here at home, but she's bored too. And that's the reason that it trigger us to search for job via online search. We have difference profession, but we keep discussing about the latest search that we found. I search for an international school where I know my professions fits and she search for technical job. She came acros this Technical Trainer Jobs and she finds it nice. So she explored the site and hopes that she can get some luck there. Hope I can get my own luck too.

She is persuasive

2011-08-24T18:37:00.001+02:00

My classmate and I had a long talk on the phone a week ago. Of course we tried to keep updating each other's lives. So even though we are far from each other, we make sure that we can spend some time minutes to talk on the phone or an hour to chat via yahoo messenger. I know my classmate for many years because we've been together since high school up to college. So I never be surprise if she earns high income as a day trader. I know the fact that she is a persuasive type of person. Her sales strategy can convince some customer to purchase it. She told me that if you want to try this day trader job, then try to know first the day trader tips. Through these tips, it will help you to understand the trading strategy. Day trading is the buying and selling of securities within a single trading day.

Watery Wednesday

Here's my entry for this week watery Wednesday, a picture that captured during my visit at the Zuiderpark here in Den Haag, NL

Sudden idea

2011-08-19T15:55:00.003+02:00

A week ago, hubby asked a question to me such as, if you're given a chance to spend a nice vacation, where you want to stay? First thing directly goes into my mind was at the ranch vacations. Hubby was surprised because it's his first time to hear it from me. Although before I'm very vocal to say that I want to visit Paris and Spain as my dream place to spend for a nice vacation, but now it changed. I want something adventure and something unique, not just all those nice architectural designs in the building, but something scenery like I saw in some paintings. I want to see the real beauty of nature and not just all those pictures that I saw. I want to ride those horses with my loved ones. So if it's given a change that I will be staying in a guest ranches, then it would be an honor for me.

Playing Midget golf

2011-08-19T15:53:00.002+02:00

I almost forgot to post here about our midget golf game two weeks ago. I was with my parents-in-law when we played that game. It was a nice sunny day in that time, so mom decided to have some outdoor game. The midget golf was located inside the zuiderpark. It a huge park where people can do some outdoor activity especially children. Anyway in our game I'm the loser haaa I admit I'm not good enough compare to them, but I had twice a luck that I hit the ball once and directly goes into the ball. Not many people can do that huh *wink*. So even I lose, I still have a smile on my face that somehow I can be proud of.

My birthday wish

2011-08-18T08:01:00.002+02:00

Two months to go then it's my birthday already. It's my first time to celebrate my birthday here in NL, so I'm excited. It's a family tradition already for us here that we give something for the celebrant. So hubby told me that on my birthday, I receive some simple presents from my in-laws and of course also from him. He asked me already few times what birthday present I want to have. I have few things in my list, but the ultimate thing that I wanted to have is having my own gucci sunglasses. I know that I've been wishing to have that already before and I guess this is the perfect time *wink*.

Chic in Black

2011-08-08T16:43:00.003+02:00

Here's the black keyboard of my husband's normal computer. He mostly use this computer for important matters like online banking and games. The rest of that he use our laptop to download some movies, games, software and many more.

She's back online

2011-08-05T12:45:00.000+02:00

The person I'm referring that is back online is my friend who lived in the other side of the world. I was wondering already that I didn't see her for long. I start to worry about her and start to think that maybe something happened to her. But seeing her online yesterday was really a surprised for me. I guess she's away through the net for almost 2 months. So when I got the chance to chat with her, I really asked what's happening and why she's gone for long. And yeah, I'm right something happen not to her, but to her husband. She was busy taking care of her husband, so she has no time to check her emails or even online at yahoo messenger. Her husband got accident and now in his recovery process already. Luckily he has social security disability that will help them in times that he cannot work yet.

Zuiderpark visit

2011-08-05T12:10:00.003+02:00

The park map

Yesterday, we finally visit the Zuiderpark. Supposedly we did that two days ago, but like due to bad weather the plan was moved. I was enjoyed walking in the park and since it's a nice weather, many people went there to spend some time. There are many things to do in the park, either you can do bowling, midget gold, swimming, playing, cycling and many more. For us we did some midget golf, but I will post that some other time. What I notice in a crowded area are the commercial playground equipment they had. It's very crowded because many kids were playing. I'm sure they had a wonderful time there.

Kijkduin beach during sunny day

2011-08-03T12:34:00.003+02:00

Kijkduin is one of the beaches here NL that I sometimes visit. However, in my previous visits I don't see as crowded as our visit yesterday. Probably because I like to be there before when the weather is cooler and not during sunny days. Since I was with my mom and grandma, they want to visit this beach, so I have no choice, but to go with them. Besides it's our ladies day, so we hang out there, enjoying the warm weather, the sunny day and the cold breeze from the sea. The beach was very crowded, many people grab the chance to enjoy the sunny day since it's very rare to have that kind of weather lately.

Funny shirts

2011-07-31T19:23:00.001+02:00

Long day shopping we had yesterday, going in and out to almost all the stores here in the city. But one thing that caught my attentions are the funny shirts displayed in one store. The shirts that I'm referring too are the shirts that has some funny text on it. I admit, I'm not avid fun of wearing these kinds of shirt, but my brother loves it so much. So I decided to buy two as my simple presents for him. I'm sure he will be very happy when he gets these shirts.

Leyweg at Shopping stores

2011-07-29T19:44:00.003+02:00

Shopping at Leyweg stores last Tuesday was fun. I went there together with my in-laws. Actually, it was my first time to be there, so I don't want to miss all the shopping stores that I like, especially those stores that has a summer sale. And of course, I don't go home without anything, I bought a nice dress *wink*.

Beautiful Swing set

Surfing through the net is one of the common things that I do when I'm bored at home. I surf to look for some recipes, do some online shopping, chat with friends and many more. But at this moment, while I'm surfing, I came across a site that sell a beautiful set of swing. Ohh..., I love swing, reminds me my childhood days that I kept playing those. And now that I have my own family, I want to have this new york swing sets too, then my future kids can play it too. I know how fun it is to have this swing in your playground.

Excited to do horse riding

Yah, I admit that I'm excited for this horse riding that we will be doing soon. There's no final date yet, but I feel so excited already, I can't wait to ride that horse. Our family friend invite us to visit their place and one activity that is common to do there is this horse riding. So while it's still far, I'm busy preparing for my outfit already. In fact, I have equestrian riding apparel already, well, not that I buy it, but the family that invited us has a spare. And just perfect because it fits for me, so that's great. Anyway, we will be staying there for a week, so I'm pretty sure that its going to be a lot of fun for us.

The Swimming pool @ Xavier sports and country club

It was first week of this month that hubby and I together with my family in the Philippines spent a great day at Xavier Sports and Country Club. We find this as a perfect place for overnight stay, then we can spend long hours of swimming. We love to swim in the pool and we want to make our day worth for every penny that we pay. And of course spent quality time together as a family. What I like in this place is the environment, the rooms have an overlooking view, there some small indoor and outdoor games that you can do. And what the most exciting part for us was the big swimming pool they had. We really enjoy swimming there. They have a big water slide too, but we took the normal slide. Our day was just a lot of fun.

Shooting range

Way back years ago, hubby and I together with my bro-in-law did our first shooting range in Philippines. At first I'm hesitant to try because I'm afraid to do it but when I saw that my husband was enjoyed, makes me also think that maybe it fun to try. And yeah! it was fun, I'm not good, but it's a wonderful experience. My brother-in-law did it too and he took the snipper riffles with a nice scopes. And wow! he's good for a first timer. I'm impressed.

I think if you are going to shoot often, then your ability of targeting the object will be develop. But if you want to learn this more, then better you should check out gunsmithingschool.org. Well, shooting is not my passion, testing it once was memorable experience for me already. Still I prefer to take this online photography classes rather than shooting classes.

I need to burn some fats

One of my goal that I want to fulfill before the year end is to burn some body fats of mine. I find it a bit annoying that I have this fats, makes my self-steam goes low. And many of my sexy blouses doesn't look nice on me anymore because they don't fit on me and it's uncomfortable to wear as well. One of my friends encouraged me to try this apidexin. This is the pill she took when she had some fats problem and it really helps for her. So if this is the best way that can help for my fats problem, then I will take this too *wink*.
