Thanks God Am Pregnant

My husband and i planned to have a baby once i am here in the Netherlands. We got married February 7, 2009, in Baguio City Philippines, we've been together for 3 days after marriage then after that he went back to the Netherlands. He went back to Philippines for vacation last July 25 to August 8, so we've been together again for 2 weeks that time but i didn't get pregnant.
I arrived here in the Netherlands September 28, and if am not mistaken my last menstruation is September 15 to September 18 or 19...then after that i didn't get any menstruation. I have been suffering from bloating since November 9, everytime i wake-up in the morning, i do bloating which makes me feel unpleasant beside of this i often feel so hungry most of the time. In the middle of the night, my hunger wakes me up.
Some of my friends who just give birth to their babies, advise me to buy Pregnancy Test, so i can be able to check if am pregnant or so. In the beginning am giving them a joke that maybe am menopause and not pregnant (he he he). They often say loka-loka, your too young to be menopause at your age.
So yesterday i bought Pregnancy Test, and when my husband arrived from work i show to him the pregnancy test and let him read the instructions for me because i can't understand since it is written in Dutch language. So he read carefully and after we took dinner, i tried to test my urine...and its POSITIVE, we got a double line.
Good News! Am pregnant...Thanks God for giving us this Blessing. Me and my husband are so happy that God give us our dream to have baby.

Happy Birthday Jigi

My friend here in the Netherlands "Jigi Seva van Scheppingen" has celebrated her birthday (November 4, 2009) here in the Netherlands for the first time. She prepared a food for her family "inlaws", and friends. As we arrived in there house she is very busy preparing the food. I haven't known this person for a long time, but what i know and what i feel is, she is a good person and a good wife to her husband Ashley van Scheppingen. I have found out that she is a good cook and according to her inlaws, she is the "Chief Cook" of their family, and i say "WOW!!!" to that. Yeah! she is realy a good cook, we have eaten the food and its really in good taste even she told us that she did rushed in preparing the food for the party. To Jigi, may you have more birthday's to come and may the good Lord give you more Blessings and also to your family. Enjoy your stay in the Netherlands.

Best Coffee Ever

Coffee is a brewed beverage prepared from roasted seeds, commonly called coffee beans, of the coffee plant. They are seeds of "coffee cherries" that grow on trees in over 50 countries including the Philippines.
My Prince love to drink coffee, he takes an average of 3 cups of coffee daily. He have a grinder of coffee beans which he use in making his natural brewed coffee. According to him, the coffee beans from the Philippines is the great coffee ever he have drink. Everytime he went and visit the Phippines my family give him a kilo of Barako Coffee Beans and Benguet Coffee Beans, he is so much happy if he have this thing to bring going back to the Netherlands.
Everyday before going to work he tried to make his own coffee out of the coffee beans that he have. He loves to mix both Barako and Benguet Coffee Beans and grind it together then put the grind beans in a pan where he could add 3 to 5 cups of water and then put into boil, and after 5 minutes he can now enjoy the natural taste of Filipinian Coffee.
Mmmmmmmmmmp...super great taste! Filipinian Coffee is the best according to him.

Visit at Taal Volcano

Taal Volcano is a complex volcano on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It is situated between the towns of Talisay and San Nicolas in Batangas. It consists of an island in Lake Taal, which is situated within a caldera formed by an earlier, very powerful eruption. It is located about 50 km (31 Miles) from the capital, Manila. It is one of the active volcanoes in the Philippines, all part of the Pacific ring of fire.

Crater Lake Resort offers adventurers the unique thrill of exploring nature and experiencing the attractions of the world's smallest active volcano. There are a host of activities that can be enjoyed on the island. Among them are rides on horseback to the inner lake, trekking, camping, and kayaking.

We went to Taal Volcano by taxi and as we we're on the way we stop and eat "Buko" or "Young Coconut", its my husband firstime to see a young coconut so he said, that is not the coconut and instead he get the old coconut and say's this is the coconut (he he he). He likes the young coconut after i teach him how to eat and to drink the buko juice. We eat also a jackfruit, at first he dont like to eat but then i let him taste a little and at the end he found it delicious.

We ride in a boat to go to the mountain feet of the Volcano and afterwards we do horse back riding to climbed the mountain so we can see the Taal Creater. The Creater is having a little smoke on it, so this means its not dangerous to be there to have the visit. A lot of Japanese, Koreans and Americans are visiting the Volcano...they like hiking because most of them are just walking going up to the mountain in order to see the creaters.

Baguio City

Baguio City has many names which describe this mountain getaway high in the Cordillera Mountain Ranges. It is commonly referred to as The Summer Capital of the Philippines, or The City of Pines.
The first time that my husband visit the Philippines, we planned to visit Baguio City, because i know that he will love the weather and its temperature in this City. As we we're on the way, he is excited to see the mountains as the bus climbed to it...He likes mountains so much since in his own country there's no mountain at all...they only have hills.
As we arrived in the City Proper, you can see a smile in his face, he feels amazed on that what he see's. Its a beautiful City and the temperatue is perfect. We stayed in Microtel Inn Hotel, its a nice hotel where we've been staying everytime we visit the place.
In the afternoon we went to Burnham Park, we do boating, its nice to feel the cold breeze in the park and afterwards we went to SM, this is nice mall overlooking the City Proper, during the night you can see the mountains filled with lights like heaven filled with stars.
The next day we went and visited many tourist spot in the City namely: Wright Park, Mansion House, Cathedral, Groto, PMA, Camp John Hay, Botanical Garden ect. Its realy a beautiful city, me and my husband love it to stay here and we're planning to buy a house here in the future.

Taytay Falls

Taytay Falls, located at Barangay Gagalot, Majayjay, Laguna, has one of the clearest flowing water we have yet seen. The water flows from Mt. Banahaw, through the mountain's lush and untouched forest which keeps the water clear even during heavy rains. The water temperature is VERY cold even during summer but, for people who are not used to cold water, they can still take a swim for a few minutes before their teeth should start to chatter.
Its nice to see this Falls, i have heard about this falls so much before and now i have seen that its really beautiful, having clear water make you feel like you gonna swim on it even you don't have your swimsuit. The water is really cold, we even put the battle of softdrink under the running water and after five minutes the softdrink became colder like it came from the refrigerator.

I have seen some tourist who visited the falls including some Americans and Japanese. They are making an improvement around the falls to accomodate people who wanted to have picnic around it...many cottages are being built around said Falls. For those who wanted to visit the Falls...enjoy and have a great experience.

God Mother

One of my officemate got married and am one of the God Mother. Its my first time to attend a wedding as God Mother of the Couples. It was a nice place where we went for the wedding - Majayjay in Laguna.

Love of My Life (Poem for my Prince Hans)

Like the stars in the sky,
I want to shine on you.
From the heavens above,
I am looking for you.
In the depths of my soul,
I will live and breathe for you.
Sadness dwells inside you;
You have nothing to fear,
for I am next to you.
I can feel your sadness;
Let me be sad for you,
so you will feel love once again.
Worry not about life,
let me worry for you.
You should always love life,
for it is a part of you.
I'll be there when you fall,
to catch you and say... I love you truly
I love you deeply
Because your the Love Of My Life...

AH1N1 Virus

Novel influenza A (H1N1) is a new flu virus of swine origin that was first detected in Mexico and the United States in March and April, 2009. The first novel H1N1 patient in the United States was confirmed by laboratory testing at CDC on April 15, 2009. --source cdc

It’s thought that novel influenza A (H1N1) flu spreads in the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread; mainly through the coughs and sneezes of people who are sick with the virus.

The AH1N1 virus finally enters the region of the Philippines. There were a lot of reported cases about the virus’ presence in some visitors to the country and even those OFW balikbayans. In Manila, the Department of Health (DoH) confirmed on Thursday (June 4, 2009) a second case of Influenza A(H1N1) infection at the De La Salle University (DLSU) from a 20 year old male studying in said University.

According to the latest reports from national TV, there were already confirmed cases. But the thing is, it turned out be ordinary flu, and the deadly virus itself.
To date, there are a lot of suspected A H1n1 flu virus carriers but are currently being quarantined in various DOH satellite stations in the Philippines.
It’s a bit difficult to tell stories are big as this. So I’ll just give you the links to stories straight from some of the authorities.
AH1n1 Flu Virus Cases in the Philippines Related Stories:

Don't be one of the victim of said virus, it's up to us on how to take care of our health.

Here are some tips in learning new language.
1. Have an audio to insure the correct pronounciation.
2. Have a books with dual language (language that you need to learn and the translation of its content).

4. Enroll to online website (advisable for those who can't go to school).

5. Talk and express yourself using the language.
