A Kulasa and being on (Swiss) time

I cannot remember being "that late" besides I am a Kulasa and being on the dot was instilled in me. Well, there were times that due to unforseen circumstances I would be 5-10 mins late but that was it. So it was during my first two years of living here that I have really learned the importance of Swiss time. That thanks to my Mama.

My mother would leave me when I didn't arrive on time. I would be upset and could not fathom the idea of being left like that. So I've learned to be on the dot(again) every time I have to see her. The idea of being late and being left behind stresses me to the max esp. if it is Mama.

Now that I have two gals an extra time allowance has to be given so as not to be late. Besides,the buses have their stop and schedule so there are no more excuses. All I have to do is just be on time!

Your post reminded me of my best friend back in high school because she's always late, even on our graduation day she was still late. haha! Now she is a prof at DLSU so I wonder if she is on time now haha.

hi ms. mayet. i find it funny though because we have a family friend here, they are swiss, and yet they are always late! hahahaha! maybe they have become filipinos in a way! but they're very nice people.

I like your clock dear. When i have an appointment, I'm mostly on time. But there are uncontrollable instances that makes you come late and i think this is an excusable thing :)

Sorry I don't get what a Kulasa is in Filipino...

I think your mom and I share the same view on being on time. My husband loves to dilly-dally and I would literally drive off and leave him. I just don't want to stress myself by missing an appointment or showing late for something or even being stuck on a traffic. All those scenarios won't be good for my high-blood ;)
hi ms. mayet thanks for your frequent visit on my blog and for the comments. good thing celphones have alarms already hehehe..kisses!

I wonder...

How can I stop looking up the sky? With it's beauty that never ceases to amaze me.

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin

Light in the sky

For a long time I am fascinated by the sky, but this has been fuelled up when I joined Sky Watch Friday . I am really thankful for this!
