The reason why I was inspired!

I do beleive that life is useless without an inspiration.Family is part of it why we need to strive hard and do the very best.I was grown up without a mother.She was died when I was 6 years old, 31 years ago.Since then we helped hand in hand in the family.College days was tough enough and everybody makes contribution for tuition fee.One stop schooling and find some work then wait the turn until the other graduated.

I was proud to say that we made it the best.No member in the family involve to drugs or whatever it is.Until we settle down and find our own family.My family is my inspiration that even I live far away from them.Eveytime we meet each other we made it special.Photo's makes me feel that they are still near to me.

Niece and nephiew's helping hand mower the grass.They concluded that it was a fun thing.

Just a pose with my niece.hmmm she taller than me.

one historic moment !

Invest in shares as a form of savings is not so good idea for this year.I decided to save in another way.

We just bought this goat! he is 2 years old.Photo was taken during Philippine vacation.

We love watching him eating his food with bending knee.

We have his sister too.

My 2 years old cow who was taking care of my brother.

Why people keep on complaining!

It is Sunday morning, my alarm clock keep on ringing.Ohh! I'm not yet wake and feel sleepy even not ready to get up from my bed.It still windy outside but I need to work. The wind rose up in the night that I wonder if it was an autumn storm.Today is my 2ND week ,I've working after 5 weeks awesome semester.Welcome to the real world!I said to myself.Although I was day off 2 days the other day but hmmm I'm not really with today.

I sat in the table while taking some morning break together with the rest of my colleague.I take 1 cup of coffe and ate my bread.How tired more I was, listening to them talking with some uninterested complaints for their lives.

Now while writing this blog I did realized that even if, people live a good life still we feel unsatisfied.I wonder why "God" is tired of us, that we keep on complaining of something.If you don't own a car,nor you don't have an own house or maybe you are unemployed,of course I understand why most of us whining. But this kind of people have everything that they need .They have a good government who is not corrupted as the other country.

I don't understand people why we behave so strange.We wanted new every time we saw new things.One big example is mobile phone "ipod".How many of us thinking not to have new things.We are all human,and easy to get tempted to have modern things. Should we let ourselves that material things control us or not?It's up to you to decide,the choice is yours as everybody says "think wisely" and "spend wisely".

practical motor traffic!

To have motor vehicle is additional expenses in the family.Specially spare sparts of luxury car.People in my country are wise enough to used practical vehicle like we called "multi cab"that most of it 2ND hand from Japan.Most of them consumed not so much gasoline compare to the ordinary cars.

This red mini van have enough for 8 normal size people.

An open van with built in chairs.Not really safe for traffic rules but they think economically.

Multi cab that used us passengers in the City or province.

Green Day to serve earth!

I would like to shared this experienced of mine in side SM grocery store in Cebu.One Wednesday my hubby and I went to shopping. The store was not so crowded as it used to be, it makes only a few minutes to make shopping for that day.We take out the things from the cart and then heard "excuse me ma'am cartoon or ordinary paper bag".I answered right away it's OK if you put in the plastic. We are sorry ma'am said the cashier,no plastic during Wednesday's because we are in the campaign of "Green Day to save earth".Wow!i was surprised.I said right away it's OK used the cartoon then.It was fantastic that SM store has started this campaign.



Their was an old couple who line before me and they complaining about the campaign.I heard from my both ears said "what kind of store is this"we want plastic because we can re used it at home.Poor "baggier" who keep on explaining about the new SM policy but still the old lady never listened.We will not do our groceries here every Wednesday because I don't like this policy! she included.

I did a glanced to the cashier and her baggier and said,your every Wednesday here is like the daily policy in every groceries in Sweden.Customers bring their own paper bag or plastic otherwise we need to pay it if we don't have our own.The old woman looked at me and then walked away.I continued talking to the workers and told them never mind the people who did not understand what is it about. I heard from the baggier that a lot of his co worker was crying during the first month of the campaign.

I really don't understand why people not give a shit about.To minimized plastic using is good for our planet,specially country who have millions of population and not having the right sortiring of garbage. This is important for both of us people. Hello!!we need to think it about.

But I was happy to see in Bogo,neighborhood town of San Remigio to have their garbage "malata "or "dili malata".I've seen it too in Mactan International airport,which I'm proud about.Keep it up and i do hope that some cities who never started doing the right garbage sortiring will followed soon.

Philippine tropical fruit

"Ecological"yes fruits I've seen in my fathers yard.The first fruit in the picture called "bread fruit"I remember when I was young all member of the family just grilled or boiled and then serve for breakfast or dinner.

Banana..banana"katundan"when we called it in Cebuano language. Have a different taste compare to the other kind of banana that we can buy in the market today.I think this "katundan"can only found in tropical country.This is more smaller but taste more good.

How about eat

ing "sugar apple"for me this kind of fruit have a special taste but my nephews and niece love this frui

t.Not directly my type but of course it taste delicious.Everybody have it's own judgement for me it's for so sweet.

If you feel dizzy take this fruit you feel better.It's helps if you have cough too,just squeeze and drink the liquid.

Papaya fruit...lot of people called the papaya tree a "medical tree"because it's seeds and leaves have used to make medicine.Before back to my younger age as I remembered that I myself and my sister and some girls in the province

used the papaya leaves during

shower.Rubbing the whole body and face just to take away the dead skin.

Plus this was rated as one of the most nutritious fruits.High in vitamin C and a good source of fiber and folate. If you have constipation eat "papaya fruit"and it will help you all the way..

..to be continued tomorrow.Thanks for reading

Back home in Sweden

After my 5 weeks summer vacation in the Philippines thanks God we're home safe.My 5 weeks stayed was amazing.I've than a
lot of things,for my family and to my little corporate business. I was so glad to have such a good loving husband who did support and be my driver everyday. Going back and fort to the City and province that he never complained.

Cebu's traffic is much terrible this year,I cannot imagine that the people have suffered economy crises since lot of multi cabs and other types of vehicles that I've seen in the traffic. we did our shopping in SM City Cebu there you can see a lot of rich people who drove their luxury cars bringing their yaya's and their drivers.

This kind of living that you cannot see here in Sweden, because people take care of their own child and drive their own car since almost everybody have a driving licence besides to have drivers and yaya's here are expensive enough.

The living standard in the Philippines is not so expensive if you have money,not so high tax and yaya's can only have 2t pesos monthly salary without insurance.If you are rich, most people honored you which makes me feel sad ever since before. But that's reality in my country which i hated most,their is no equal standard of living.

The 2ND week after arrival we drove to the province we're my parents lived,there you can observed the big different between the life in the city.People are so simple and thankful enough to have their complete meal for the whole day.I really like most stayed in the province,where I myself and my husband never think to open our emails and mobile phone.Their was 1 week that we never know what date was and the day.We never mind the TV ,we just listened to FM radio who played beautiful songs.

This is the life that I missed right now while writing this blog,simple and calm and no stress at all.Yes living in the modern world is good and lot of advantages but it's also stressful and hard.

tomorrow I will continue writing about my Philippine vacation and downloads some nice photo's that I captured.
