17 days more to go and it will be Christmas! This morning when I was taking my tea, I was also listening to the radio. Suddenly, after some songs, a Christmas hymn was played. It reminds me of home again. It’s been three years now since the last time I celebrated Christmas in my home country. I also have wonderful and memorable Christmas in my second home here in Europe but celebrating it with my family back home is more exciting and enjoyable. It is more fun when one of my cousins would play one of the top yamaha guitars he owns. He also has a yamaha piano. More on that, he is also a good singer.
I hope to celebrate Christmas in my home country once again!

Good morning peeps! Today is the first Friday of the month of December 2012. It seems that Christmas is getting near. Are you ready with it? I guess I am!
Yesterday, when I went grocery shopping, I stopped by again at Edeka, a grocery store where you can also play lottery. I am trying my luck again. I don’t really play lotto every week but only once or twice in a month. When I see yesterday that the winning is 7 million Euros, I ended up buying lottery ticket.
I already won for a lot of times. I guess seven times already but my highest winning was only 25.00 Euros. I hope to win lottery one of these days! Cheers and have a happy Friday to all!

This is already a very long time plan but still did not materialized. I always wanted to go back to school and learn some courses about photography, journalism, languages, information technology or any related computer courses. I guess I am not too old to do it and start all over again. If I only live in the US probably it is easier for me to take some Academic Summer Camps. There are just a lot of things to learn in this life and sometimes learning by doing and through experiences are the best teachers.
Any idea what is the best course to take? Thanks in advance.

This one good thing with online shopping. If your subscribe with a shopping site and they send you special offers or items on sale, sometimes you just can’t say no. This is true especially if the item you buy is the one you always use in your hobby.
This is also the reason why I ended up buying a new digital camera again. It is the second camera that I bought this year. It is a Canon PowerShot A2200 Digitalkamera with 14,1Megapixel, 4x opt. Zoom and with 2 years warranty. Its total cost is 89.99 Euros including shopping. For sure, I will be taking pictures again with this camera.
I am just addicted of clicking cameras from time to time. I will try to post some of the images I took in a couple of days. Cheers!

I am such a very busy person. When I am at home, I never find a boring day for me. There are just a lot of things to be done and sometimes a day is not enough. At least, I already started some household chores like cleaning. The next room that I need to clean and arrange is my computer room. It is like my little office and my little library and also my working room when I am in front of my PC.
Can you imagine seeing books and papers scattering around? Travel books and flyers, magazines, notebooks, postcards, newspapers cut-outs and other sort of papers are just scattering around. I guess I need something to label all the stuffs in my computer room. I have some ideas at begalabel.com for blank labels. I am just deciding what size do I really need. I already have some labels but it is still not enough.
Hopefully next week, I can start cleaning my computer room! Wish me luck!

Hello peeps! I am back in the blogosphere. I am quite busy with offline jobs, arranging and cleaning our home and other household chores. There are a lot to be done before holiday season comes. First thing I did was doing some bloghop. The second thing was cleaning my inbox. I have a lot of email addresses which are relevant for personal use. Sometimes I cannot really check all but only the important ones.
This afternoon, I started cleaning one of the most important email address that I use often. I am still not done cleaning my inbox in this email add but at least I already started doing it. Hopefully, I can also clean the others when most of the re-arranging and cleaning in the house is over.
I wish you all a nice day! Take care everyone!

We are so happy because we can finally use our newly renovated bathroom. Yesterday was history because after some months of renovation, I can finally use it. I miss bathing and relaxing in the bathtub so badly for how many months. I was so glad that I can use it now. Finally the dust and the dirt are over now.
I am trying to gather all the receipts to tally all the expenses we made from our bathroom renovation. It was a total renovation from dismantling all the old wooden walls (our bathroom looks like a sauna before), old bathtub, flooring and everything inside it. We needed and installed mostly all new stuffs including new water pipes, bathtub, bathroom sink, tiles flooring, walls, etcetera. While looking for water pipes and hoses, I also browsed on parker industrial rubber hose. I believed this is quite a good quality.
There are still little things to be installed in our bathroom like towel holders and small cabinets. This coming weekend, we will finish installing everything. We are truly happy!

I really felt sad when I knew that my canon T2I or canon 550D can’t record videos. I bought this DSLR camera sometime in October 2010. I did not use the video function until May of this year. When I used it for the first time, the video recording was not really good. It was so blurry and you cannot really view it good. I read the manual and it says, that I need to have a high speed SDHC of at least class 6. I ended up buying 2 class 10 SDHC cards but still the camera won’t record clear videos.
I was really disappointed with it. I regret that I did not check it when I first bought it last 2010. I also tried it one more time of buying thinking that I need a more higher capacity and faster SDHC. I ended up buying a new a super high speed SanDisk Extreme 32 GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Flash Memory Card 45MB/s SDSDX-016G-X46. As my order from Amazon arrived, I tried it immediately but still, the video function had the same result.
I am not really an expert about cameras. I am planning to take my camera to the nearest canon store when I have time because there are still other problems I have with this Canon T2I. I hope it will be fixed soon.

She is a sweet, smart and beautiful little girl. I believed she is four or five years old now. I was invited in her birthday this year and it was truly a wonderful one. She loves singing and she loves to play the guitar. I saw the video her mom made of her while playing a guitar. Her mom uploaded it in facebook. I am quite sure that if she is grown up, her loving mother would surely give her all what she wants inlcuding a roland cube 80xl and a guitar to play. Oh I forgot to tell you that she also has combo or what we call some play band equipments in her room.
I hope and pray that this little girl will be backed to normal life again. She has a leukemia and currently undergoing chemo treatment. Please let us pray for her health.

Hello peeps? How is it going? I hope you are having a lovely weekend. There are a lot of things going on now. Whether it is personal, about my travels, my friends, families and all the things happening in this world, they all just make me busy.
Anyway, I am just wondering what happened to entrecard.com? If you are a blogger like me, you will surely know about this thing. I just noticed that the widgets of entrecard is nowhere to be found in my blogs’ sidebars. I just noticed it some weeks and even a month ago. I thought they just had some errors..but it seems that it is gone forever now. Entrecard had seemed to change the blogging life of many bloggers, like myself. It is sad to let it go but it is gone now.

RIP entrecard?
