No More Madrid and Istanbul but Tokyo to Host 2020 Olympics

Konnichi wa! Good day to everyone! I believed it is  still  not too  late to share this good news for Japan.  I heard over the news  on radio and television last Sunday, September 8, 2013, that Tokyo will be hosting the 2020 Olympic Games. Its contenders Istanbul and   Madrid were ousted after the International Olympic Committee has chosen Tokyo to host the games. The voting was held last Saturday in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Wish To Travel the World Using an RV

Traveling is my passion! For some reasons, this passion is unstoppable and I just want to travel and explore the world when time and finances allow me to do so. One of my dreams is to travel around the world using an RV. SR.RV 9.10.13 I would love to drive one of those used motorhomes to explore this planet. Isn’t it an adventure? I am hoping that this dream will come true one of these days.

Having been to over thirty countries and three continent, I still want to explore more places on earth. I believed using an RV is one of the best means of transportation to explore this planet. For those who are not familiar what does an RV stands for, it simply means recreational vehicle. In some countries, it is also called a motorhome, caravan or camper van. (more…)

I am happy to  let  you know that I had a nice day today. It was indeed a wonderful day!   It was nicer when I am writing this post now. You know why? The posting format or the I would say the format in writing a post here is finally fixed.  Am I quite complicated?? I hope not.

This is what had happened. Since last week, there was a problem with formatting when  I am  writing a post in this blog. I thought I pressed something wrong but I am sure, I did not. I should do a screenshot for it  but  it did not came to my mind anymore.  Being busy with so many things both online and offline, that idea of making a screenshot is  never remembered.  I was thinking, one of these days, it will be fixed.

Remembering Stockholm

The first Monday  of September is almost over!  I am happy because we accomplished something good today. It was a preparation for the coming winter season. I can already feel the cold breeze of  autumn or fall season.  This is the reason why we are already starting to get ready for  winter.

Health Care for Seniors

Hello September! The BER months has just started! My former classmate just asked me what does it means by BER months. I told her that it is about the months of September, October, November and December. It is inevitable and the first day of the BER month is finally here! It seems that this month is a challenging one for me!

I have been thinking of many things in my life especially about shifting jobs and career. I am planning to go back to school, might take up a practicum or simply shift for a better job or career. More on that, I have been planning to take a course about health care for seniors. What do you think a banker shifting  to health care  field?  I have been reading about experimental models since  they have interesting articles about this matter. (more…)
