This Is So Cute Car Mitsubishi Cuope Cabriolet

I found the car that I dream of. I like the style because it is formal and good for women and is so cute! This one I really like the style. I knew it is an expensive one but I am just dreaming to have this car (lol). I can afford only for a toy car like this (lol he-he-he).
Anyway, I just contented what we have car for now. It is not expensive but I love it, it just say we love it. In this car photo was taken in Auto Salon Geneve. Auto show in Geneve will open annually in the month of March. I love to go there because for me it is interesting. I want to know what the latest car is every year. I love to look and take a picture every car that I like. Within three years we were there in this Auto Salon in Geneve with our friends and our husband's, but this year, maybe is not possible to go there because we have a little baby boy and that is so difficult because it is so crowded too.

gosh, cool?

Look how so crowded!

Thun, Switzerland

Photo took from Schadau Castle

My hubby, my baby and I went to Thun today. It was great weather, that’s why we went outside and decided to go to Thun. First, we visited Schadau Castle, which also before I delivered my baby last October we were there. I like to go this place because it is really beautiful view which you can see the known Alps, are Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau.

Schadau Castle

The Schloss Schadau is a castle on the south side of the Aare near the Lake Thun in the city of Thun, Canton of Berne, Switzerland. It lays in the Schaudaupark and was built from 1846 until 1854 after the plans of Pierre-Charles Dusillon in theGothic Revival style. Schloss Schadau was built for the Banker Abraham Denis Alfred de Rougemont
Since 1925 the castle belongs to the city of Thun and contains a Restaurant and the Swiss Gastronomy-Museum. Between 1972 and 1992 the facade of the castle was renovated by the city's own quarrymen.

This photo Took from Schadau Castle

Thun is the one of the most original towns in Switzerland. Thun is one of the most original towns in Switzerland. It occupies an admirable site within view of the Bernese Alps and is much overlooked by visitors pressing on to Interlaken. With its picturesque castle and quaint medieval center Thun (pronounced toon) is well worth a visit. Beautiful views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau and, closer at hand, the giant pyramidal Niesen (2362m) and flat-topped Stockhorn (2190m) are a gentle prelude to the Alpine vistas further south.

Lake Thun is one of the loveliest and largest lakes in Switzerland and very much appreciated by tourists and locals alike. Located within green mountains and snowy summits (namely the Jungfrau) Lake Thun presents many opportunities for water-sports and swimming. A well documented network of walking path along the Lake and above the villages in the foothills invite for activities such as hiking and mountain biking.
And 5:30 PM, I got my perfect Lasagne in Freienhof Restaurant. That was the great and yummylicious Lasagne that I ever had and hubby ordered only a Crème Suppe just so simple than what I had. I recommend this Restaurant Freienhof, they have good service and they have very good and delicious food. Our day was fantastic and we enjoyed our visit in Thun.

Hammetschwandlift: Highest Exterior Elevator in Europe

Back to year September 24, 2006, I remember, hubby and I, with his friends we were in Bürgenstock. The expenses were hubby friends pay this entire trip to Bürgenstock and also the food during lunch break. We were in restaurant Cafè Piazza. They have yummylicious food, it is quiet expensive though but it is worth. It was amazing trip; we were with the ship from Lucerne then going up to Bürgenstock with the old Bürgenstock funicular railway which was opened in 1888 and completely overhauled in 2002 is the oldest electrically operated funicular railway in Switzerland.
Some Hollywood Star like Charley Chaplin, Sean Connery & ect. they been in Bürgerstock, long time ago! When we were there is quiet a little bit foggy but you can still see the beauty of the nature. We visited Hammetschwandlift which is the Highest Exterior Elevator in Europe. It created an absolute sensation when the hotel and railroad pioneer Franz-Josef Bucher-Durrer built the Hammetschwand lift at the Bürgenstock in 1905.
Height of pulpit: 1114, 41 Mü.M

The hotel resort located at 847 meters a.s.l. has been a popular vacation sport since 1872. Its attractiveness was enhanced by the spectacular path along the vertical rock face and by an exterior open lift. To this day the lift and the path have lost none of their attraction.
The new lift was built and opened by the Schindler company. It whisks passengers 153 meters up to the summit of the Hammetschwand in less than one minute. It was regarded as a pioneering feat in those days and is still a record holder, since the Hammetschwand lift is holding the number one position as Europe's highest exterior lift.

What Kind of Soul Are You

Go this tag from Ging2x, so I did test my self and here is the result.

You Are a Warrior Soul

You're a strong person and sometimes seen as intimidating. You don't give up. You're committed and brave. Truly adventuresome, you are not afraid of going to battle. Extremely protective of loved ones, you root for the underdog. You are picky about details and rigorous in your methods. You also value honesty and fairness a great deal. You can be outspoken, intimidating, headstrong, and demanding. You're a hardliner who demands the best from themselves and others. Souls you are most compatible with: Old Soul and Peacemaker Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

If you want to do test yourself, so do it now, take a test for yourself, you will find of what kind of soul are you.

2008-The Year Of Rat

The "Rat" is the first sign of the Chinese zodiac.
Those born in the "Year of the Rat" are clever, ambitious, creative, hard-working, fastidious, charming and sociable, but can be a bit stingy when it comes to sharing their wealth or possessions.Rats are compatible with Dragons, Monkeys and Oxen, but should avoid Horses at all costs.
In the "Year of the Rat", we can expect 12 months of plentiful opportunities and prospects not to mention being relatively free of turbulence, (which is great to know especially if you're planning on making some long-term investments, starting new projects, or keeping the home fires burning brightly).It's also a rather fine time to socialise and grab a sumptuous meal or two with friends and family!


Rats: 1900, 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020 (Keep adding 12 years in the series)

Epiphany-Three Kings Day in Switzerland

Epiphany falls on January 6th, and is known as Three Kings Day. Traditionally it marks the day when the three kings presented their gifts to the baby Jesus.

A widespread custom connected with this day is "star singing". Some of the singers are dressed as the three kings and carry a star with them as they sing in the streets that is representing the star which guided the three kings in the biblical story.

In the Lötschental in Canton Valais the festival takes place on January 5th, when elaborately dressed kings parade on hobby horses accompanied by jesters. They are accompanied by two companions, known as "goigglär", dressed in colourful costumes, whose job is to draw attention to their horse and show it off as they make their way round the houses of the village notables and then into the restaurants, eating and drinking at each. The same custom is also carried out on New Year's eve with minor differences.

Happy Sunday and Happy Three Kings Everyone

My Baby Cedric This Coming Week

My baby Cedric this coming January 7 he will be 2 months old.
The time is so fast, something only yesterday that I give birth to him, but now this coming week, he will be 2 months old. He start laughing and smiling last 1st week of December and now he had really an exactly big laughed and smile. How so my baby boy so adorable and cute, so proud to have him and so thanfull to God he came into our life, he is our treasure and our bundle joy of our life.


Here are more information about Baby This 2-Month-old's Development: Week 1

Into complex designs
At this point, your baby will begin to move beyond his early preferences for bright or two-toned objects toward more detailed and complicated designs, colors, and shapes. Show your baby — and let him touch — a wider variety of objects. Good choices include plastic cookie cutters, soft balls, and stuffed animals.

Hear ye, hear ye
Your baby can differentiate familiar voices from other sounds and is becoming a better listener. He also can show you that he's in tune with his environment. Notice how he looks to see where certain noises are coming from.

An ongoing conversation (although still one-sided!) can help your baby develop his sense of place. He may even watch your mouth as you talk, fascinated by how it all works.

Note: If you have any doubt about your baby's hearing, don't hesitate to mention your concerns to your healthcare provider. Even though your baby's hearing may have already been tested, new problems can arise.

A helping hand
The chaotic first months are over and your baby's schedule is probably becoming more predictable. If you and your partner are raising your baby, it's important for both of you to get a chance to care for and bond with your baby. Make sure whichever one of you is not the primary caretaker gets regular time alone with your little one, for bathing him, changing him, and just getting tuned into his needs.

If you're a single parent, try to find another adult, such as a grandparent or an aunt, to spend time with your baby. This will give your child an opportunity to bond with other loving adults, and give you a welcome break from the hard work of being a parent to a young child.

Remember, your baby is an individual
All babies are unique and meet milestones at their own pace. Developmental guidelines simply show what your baby has the potential to accomplish — if not right now, then soon. If your baby was premature, keep in mind that kids born early usually need a bit more time to meet their milestones.

Palo Leyte History Summary

Palo is strategically located in the northern part of the Province of Leyte, 8 miles from the capital city of Tacloban. It is composed of 33 barrios (barangays) with a total population of 40,000. The main source of income for most of the citizenry is buying and selling farm products and the local wine "tuba" manufacturing and fermentation.

Palo is a town that takes pride not in its material wealth for it rates poorly in the economic growth, but rather, in the fame and glory for being a rare TOWN OF FIRSTS - culturally, historically and spiritually.

The landmark that has brought Palo to the annals of world history is the Red Beach, Candahug, where Gen. Douglas McArthur first landed to liberate the Philippines from the Japanese occupation on October 20, 1944. Palo was also once the capital fo Leyte and the Purissima Bridge was the first steel bridge built in the Province.

Culturally speaking, no other town or barrio in our country has been more blessed to have a great number of natural born artists, particularly in the field of music. Palo was the first to implement an official town hymn and a municipal seal. The town is able to sing original Paloano songs with arrangements and full orchestrations catered by the most number of local band members and conductors. In 1990, the first regional Model Filipino Award for Music was conferred to the late Prof. Agustin El O'Mora who had composed and arranged more than 4,000 songs, including the town hymn. His operetas like the "Karahibot", "Star of Liberation" and "Limasawa" have been preserved by the Divine Word University Museum and Library, while the "Golden Book of Palo" which he wrote for 15 years, awaits publication. Very recently, the famous all-male chorale, The Rah Rah Rousers, launched their maiden volume of Visayan Songs on cassette tape. Moreover, the Palo Development Council has gained a nationwide attention through accreditation by the Department of Tourism to make annual tourist attractions two of our traditional activities: "The Pamalandong", which is a reenactment of the Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus during the Lenten season and the colorful "Palo Christmas Festival", a joint project with the multi-awardee tenor concert singer, Enrico Saboren.

On the spiritual side, Palo is believed to be a sacred place by clerical observers. It is the seat of the ecclesiastical province, the Archdiocese, where the Roman Catholic Archbishop resides in Bukid Tabor. One can find the Metropolitan Cathedral in Palo and also, the seedbed of vocations to the priesthood is found at the Sacred Heart Seminary and the St. John the Evangelist School of Theology. Two Paloano nuns were Superior Generals in their respective congregations. To date, there are 79 ordained priests and 106 nuns from the town alone.

Indeed, Palo has established a distinctive and unique extraordinary identity as a conservative and religious town with a highly cultural characteristic that has made Paloanos extremely proud of their birthplace.
