Kanluran/West

Para sa pangalawang lahok sa Litratong Pinoy. Siya ay aking iniwan inisip na ang buhay sa Kanluran ay di para sa akin ngunit talaga yatang dito ang aking kapalaran. Geneva-- isang lungsod sa Europa na puno ng makulay na istorya.Dito rin makikita ang "Jet d'Eau"- isang malaking bukal sa lawa ng Geneva, isa sa mga sikat na tanawin ng lungsod.Ang bukal na may taas na 140 metro ay unang itinayo noong 1886. Ito ang naging atraksyon sa naganap na Euro 2008 noong nakaraang buwan.

My 2nd entry for Litratong Pinoy I have left her thinking that life in the west isn't for me but it seems that this is where I am destine to be. Geneva-- a city in Europe that is full of history. It is where we can find the Jet d'Eau - a large fountain in the lake of Geneva, one of the famous landmarks in the city. The fountain which is 140 meters, is created in 1886. It was also the attraction in the Euro 2008 last month.

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...

Love that binds them together

They were supposed to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary(25th January) but their relationship didn't last long. Distance and other circumstances got in the way or perhaps theirs are not meant to be a happy ending. Their children are all grown up and have accepted the fact that their parents won't get old together. But the couple have raised their children well,there's no doubt about it. They might not be together anymore as husband and wife but their love for their children and grandchildren bind them together and no matter what they will always be our Itay and Mama. Cheers to both of you!! You might also like: Little people's out-of-town wkend do's and don't Just one of those nights Cars and memories Parenting 101 Howzat

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!
