Hubby was sharing me some things last time. He said that one of his co-workers was caught driving under the influence of alcohol. He was caught and ended up losing his driving license for some months. Hubby said that he will never drive when he is drunk and he will never drink when he knows that he will be driving.
Hapenning like what hubby’s co-worker had undergone can sometimes be very difficult. There are people who got problems about drug addiction and alcoholism. Institutions for example in the United States like california rehab treatment centers are offering help and treatments for those individuals who are experiencing the said disorders. There are special therapies that will be undergone by patients who have those kinds of problems. I just hope that people who are currently experiencing such disorders will be treated to get back their normal lives. Good luck!

I am quite tired after waking up earlier this morning. I had a day-out with friends and it was quite a wonderful day for all of us. I believed everyone was happy and contented of what they brought home today. After I showed to hubby what I brought home with me, he just smiled and said that those stuffs are fine and nice. He is happy when his wife is also happy.
Back to the main topic; I have here images taken during my second visit to Würzburg (written in English as Wuerzburg). It is a city located in the state of Bavaria, Germany. Me and Nonna had a wonderful time during our trips last summer 2010…right Non?
I need to sign-off now. My eyes really want to close now. More updates tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of the weekend guys!
the Alte Mainbrücke, called in English as the Old Main Bridge. It was built 1473–1543 to replace the destroyed Romanesque bridge from 1133. It was adorned from 1730 on in two phases with well-known statues of saints and famous persons. A similar impressive bridge is the Charles Bridge in Prague. I was there too in 2008.
Me and Nonna striking a pose on the Old Main Bridge. You can see one statue in our background. There are a lot of these on the sides of the bridge.

I was browsing old pictures from 2008 in my picture files. I found a very memorable one. This was the baby shower of a friend who was supposed to give birth in some months. I guess she forgot to give baby shower thank you cards that time because she was always busy. We also had a party during her baby shower. Sumptuous and delicious foods were served including sweets and desserts. I believed, it was a very memorable moment for my dear friend.
Guess what? She has an almost three year old boy now. Time truly pass-by so quickly! I have an evidence here of the foods that were prepared during her baby shower last 2008. I’m taking a short break now and will relax for a while in the tub. Have a lovely evening!

It is only enough for me before to watch the images of friends who had visited the capital city of Italy. I keep telling myself, one day I will visit Rome. That wish came true and it was very compensating. I was very fascinated when I visited Rome with a friend. I was truly impressed by its historical setting, the various ruins from Colosseum to Foro Romano especially after a visit to Vatican City. I can’t express how I felt when I saw and experienced this place. It was truly marvelous. I am very happy to be in Rome once in my life. When given another chance in the future to visit it again, for sure I will! wanna come with me? lol!
at St. Peter’s Square. You can see the Dome of St. Peter’s Basilica at the background in Vatican City, Rome, Italy. This was taken during our visit last August 2010.Etymology of Rome
About the origin of the name Roma several hypotheses have been advanced. The most important are the following:
* from Rommylos (Romulus), son of Ascanius and founder of the city;
* from Rumon or Rumen, archaic name of Tiber. It has the same root of the Greek verb ῥέω (rhèo) and of the Latin verb ruo, which both mean “flow”;
* from the Etruscan word ruma, whose root is *rum-, “teat”, with possible reference either to the totem wolf that adopted and suckled the cognately named twins Romulus and Remus, or to the shape of Palatine and Aventine hills;
* from the Greek word ῤώμη (rhòme), which means strength;

I believed most of you have seen signs of many forms, sizes, words, styles, colors and lay-outs. The most common signs I always see are on the road and on stores and shops that I visited. This is true especially when I go for grocery shopping every week. There are also these so-called safety signs that we can use at home especially when we have children. I guess one of my favorite signs especially when going for shopping is that discount signs that says 25% to 75% off. I believed most of you also love this sign. It seems that somebody is going for shopping on Monday. I am thinking if I am going with friends because right now, I need to save money for a purpose. I can’t say it right now. Probably in my next post! Enjoy your Friday!
I got an OPEN sign here. This was taken in an Italian restaurant in Passau, Germany during our visit last November 2009.
