Cologne, Germany

Welcome to Cologne where the cathedral spires tower over Germany's oldest city and its innumerable cultural and historical treasures, world-famous museums and active art scene. The world feels at home in Cologne, where people meet for a Kölsch, a chat or simply a laugh. Life in Cologne is uncomplicated and vivacious.

We visited last year this famous city of Germany, Koeln or Cologne. I love this city. It is so lively esp. at the Market Square near the Cologne Dome or Cathedral whre a lot of people usually gatherer. Hope to be back there next time on their Fasching or Festival.

Quote of the Day

"The older we get the more we realize

that service to others is the only way to stay happy.

If we do nothing to benefit others,

we will do nothing to benefit ourselves."

Carl Holmes

I'm Getting a Peace Award!!

Am I a peaceful person!! I believed so!!! thanks a lot sis Twinks for always remembering me...I really appreciate it!!! will tour you in Europe once I win the lottery...hahaha!!Thanks a bunch for this award Tchel... mwah!

Peace: Freedom from quarrels and disagreement and of having a harmonious relations. Inner contentment and serenity.



No kidding aside, our country needs this award desperately. With all the things and crap that is happening in our country right now, achieving peace & serenity seems to an ambitious goal. For me, peace begins at home and of being at peace with one's self.

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8


Spreading Peace to my friends:Angel, Joy, Darlene, Amor, Princess and Choco..

A Beautiful Sunday in Hohenfels, Germany

I went walking alone today. The weather was so perfect.It is sunny, a little bit windy and not really cold..My husband went to work, that's why I'm alone. Today was really a very beautiful day..more beautiful because, I was out again, seeing the beauty of nature around my small universe..yup, I love Hohenfels. This is now my new Home.of course, my home country Philippines is still my home and will always be my home.

Since I already knew and adapted Germany's most culture and tradition, I already fell in love with it. The small village where I presently live now is a very interesting and natural one..I love nature and the setting in Hohenfels is just so lovely. It is a very clean, quite and peaceful place. The view around is just so priceless and wonderful.

As I went around walking today, I went to the Schlossberg. It is a castle ruin on top of a small Hill.The Schlossberg Turm (tower) is still well-maintained, as it is also one of the sightseeing here. When you are at the top of the hill, you can witness and see the beautiful scenery around the place. got some graffitis here for you!!

hope you enjoy the rest of the week!!! God bless us all!!

Trees in Winter Time

We went last Sunday to a friend's birthday...we drove around 45 minutes to their house..on the way there, the trees during this winter time captured my attention.. We don't have too much snow this winter time compared to the past years..in fact our weather now in our place is like spring time..not so bad because I really don't driving during snow time..

Fruits are healthy

I love to eat fruits...guess I can eat almost all fruits besides that they are healthy, I also love its taste and it is full of vitamins and minerals...got this photos from last year..



The term fruit has many different meanings depending on context. In botany, a fruit is the ripened ovary—together with seeds—of a flowering plant. In many species, the fruit incorporates the ripened ovary and the surrounding tissues. Fruits are the means by which flowering plants disseminate seeds.[1] In cuisine, when discussing fruit as food, the term usually refers to those plant fruits that are sweet and fleshy, examples of which include plums, apples and oranges. However, a great many common vegetables, as well as nuts and grains, are the fruit of that plant species.[2] No single terminology really fits the enormous variety that is found among plant fruits.[3] The cuisine terminology for fruits is inexact and will remain so. The term false fruit (pseudocarp, accessory fruit) is sometimes applied to a fruit like the fig (a multiple-accessory fruit; see below) or to a plant structure that resembles a fruit but is not derived from a flower or flowers. Some gymnosperms, such as yew, have fleshy arils that resemble fruits and some junipers have berry-like, fleshy cones. The term "fruit" has also been inaccurately applied to the seed-containing female cones of many conifers.[4]

With most fruits pollination is a vital part of fruit culture, and the lack of knowledge of pollinators and pollenizers can contribute to poor crops or poor quality crops. In a few species, the fruit may develop in the absence of pollination/fertilization, a process known as parthenocarpy.[5] Such fruits are seedless. A plant that does not produce fruit is known as acarpous, meaning "without fruit".[6]

READ THE FIRST LINE CAREFULLY.
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
