I was in the pub yesterday
when I suddenly realized I desperately needed to fart.
The music was really, really loud,
so I timed my farts with the beat.
After a couple of songs, I started to feel better.
I finished my pint and noticed that everybody was staring at me.
Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my iPod.

Happy Birthday to my Mother dear....
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The soul that rises with us, our life's star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar, Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come from God, who is our home....
Happy Birthday Mother dear...wishing you good health and happiness. Have many many more birthdays to come....We Love you....

Being a Mother/ Having a Mother
Another story I got from my emails and this a good one. I got emotional when I read this!
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me
to take another woman out to dinner and a movie.
She said, 'I love you, but I know this other woman
loves you and would Love to spend
some time with you.'
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my Mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner
and a movie. 'What's wrong, are you well,' she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects
that a late night call or a surprise invitation
is a sign of bad news.
'I thought that it would be pleasant to spend
some time with you,' I responded 'just the two of us.' She thought about it for a moment, and then said,
'I would like that very much.'
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's.
'I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed,' she said, as she got into the car... 'They can't wait to hear
about our meeting.'
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant,
was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm
as if she were the First Lady.
After we sat down, I had to read the menu.
Her eyes could only read large print. Half-way through the entrees, I lifted my eyes and saw Mother
sitting there staring at me.
A nostalgic smile was on her lips.
'It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,' she said. 'Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor,' I responded. During the dinner , we had an agreeable conversation nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we
missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, 'I'll go out with you again, but only if
you let me invite you.' I agreed.
'How was your dinner date?' asked my wife when I got home. 'Very nice, much more so than I could have imagined,' I answered.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined. An attached note said: 'I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but, nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me.
'I love you, son'
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: 'I love YOU' and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some 'other' time.
Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby... somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, 'normal' is history.
Somebody said you can't love the second child as much as you love the first... somebody doesn't have
two or more children.
Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery....somebody never watched her 'baby' get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten... or on a plane headed for military 'boot camp.'
Somebody said a Mother can stop worrying after her child gets married... somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.
Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home... somebody never had grandchildren.
Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her... somebody isn't a mother.
This isn't just about being a mother; it's about appreciating the people in your lives while you have them... no matter who that person is!
Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes...
your destiny.

Spoiled Onion
Hello everyone...how's your day today? Having a family and friends who cares about you, I always get good stuffs like advice, knowledge and good info about things through emails. For instance the last email I got from my aunt send me this articles about the facts of onions. Maybe some of you knows it but I'm pretty sure that some doesn't, for example ME! I didn't think that onion will be catch bacteria once you cut it? I used to save the half onion everytime I cooked but since I got here in Germany, I use them all and I don't save it because putting excess onion on your food tastes a lot better. You won't go wrong unlike putting too much salt, of course it will be salty. Please read this articles and share it or tell your family and friends so that they will know.
Have a nice weekend y'all....
Truths that will help save lives.
YOUR COOKING/FOOD LESSON FOR THE DAY!
I have used an onion which has been left in the fridge, and sometimes. I don't use a whole one at one time, so I save the other half for later.. . . . Now with this info, I have changed my mind....I will buy smaller onions in the future.
Written by Zola Gorgon - author of several cookbooks.. Watch out for those SPOILED ONIONS.
I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, makers of mayonnaise.. Mullins is huge, and is owned by 11 brothers and sisters in the Mullins family. My friend, Jeanne, is the CEO. Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist. The guy who gave us our tour is named Ed. He's one of the brothers. Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in developing most of the sauce formula. He's even developed sauce formula for McDonald's. Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise.
People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's answer will surprise you.. Ed said that all commercially-made Mayo is completely safe. "It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it's not really necessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. He then talked about the quaint-essential picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick. Ed says that when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the victim' last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad). Ed says it's not the mayonnaise (as long as it's not homemade Mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It's probably the onions, and if not the onions, it's the POTATOES. He explained, onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.
He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.
It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can
be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs
at the baseball park!) Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down. So, how's that for news? Take it for what you will. I (the author) am going to be very careful about my onions from now on. For some reason, I see a lot of credibility coming from a chemist and a company, that produces millions of pounds of mayonnaise every year.'
Have a nice weekend y'all....

Happy Independence Day
These are the fireworks I took last weekend during our camping at Campground in Garmish. This is my first time to witnessed the fireworks closer. Many people spent their Independence Day or 4th of July (including us) in Edelweiss. It was wonderful...Kids and adults were having fun, some kids blew their whistles while others were screaming and yelling (that's include me!) ever time the firewoks blast. The weather cooperated during the fireworks flared-up and people were happy and so do I that it stopped raining but after the fireworks finished, it started to rain hard. It was short but worth it to watched.
Hace a wonderful day to y'all.....

Full Moon
I took this photo last monday and it was an accident to see it. It was hot in our room so I opened the window and when I looked outside I saw the moon was round and so bright so I rushed to get my camera and take pictures. It was really beautiful and I wish I have a telescope so that I can see the crater. On the picture, you can only see the shadow of the crater. It was nice weather when the moon came out and it was beautiful and wonderful to watched it but the next morning, it rained.
Good day to y'all....

Being a Mother/ Having a Mother
Hello there...I know that Mother's Day is over but I got this from my email and it touched my heart when I was reading it. I would like to share this to all mothers and mother to be out there. This is a good story and everyone will touch their hearts....
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me
to take another woman out to dinner and a movie.
She said, 'I love you, but I know this other woman
loves you and would Love to spend
some time with you.'
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my Mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

'I would like that very much.'

She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.

Funny Cartoon
I got this funny cartoon from a good friend who wants me to laugh and I want to share with you. We need this sometimes...
Here's the dialogue since it wasn't clear to read it. It's really funny and pardon the language.
MOMM! HEY MOM! ( says the kid)
Calvin, stop yelling across the house! If you want to talk to me,
walk over to the living room, where I am! (said mom)
I stepped in dog shit, where's the hose? (answered the kid)

Death in Hollywood
Hello, everyone... I'm finally back from our short vacation in London. I'm sorry if I haven't update my blogs for I am still busy. We got back last Saturday (June 20) and of course the next day is Father's Day and because we are still exhausted from our trip, we just rest and relax from home. My husband is not in the mood to go somewhere that day so we decided to stay home and watched the TFC news we missed. And when Monday came, he started to work and as usual, I put away our stuffs where it belongs. I started to organized and clean our house because my brother in-law and his family from Singapore might come here in Germany for a week vacation. Too much work but it's okay because we haven't seen them for more than 10 years. When I was checking my email at the yahoo site, I found something tragic story about the celebrities like Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson are dead. I wasn't shocked to hear that Farrah Fawcett is dead due to her cancer but reading about Michael Jackson, I was surprised, shocked and I can't still believe it while I'm reading the articles. That's a tragic one and I'm pretty sure a lot of people will mourn and grieve deeply especially his family because he died young. There are a lot things going on around the world and people still recovering from the pandemic or epidemic we are facing like swine flu or they call it H1N1 virus. Also about the missing people from airplane crushed (don't have the update because I haven't watch any U.S. news) and now from celebrity. Not only Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett had died, 2 or 3 weeks ago, David Carradine also past away. I don't like to hear any death but sometimes we have to face it and think that it's Gods will or he has reason we don't know. For the family of past celebrities, CONDOLENCE....
God Bless you all....
God Bless you all....

Swine Flu After-Effects
Hello...I was so tired today because I cooked eggrolls and fried rice for my cousin in-law and her co-workers. Last Monday, I went to the Optometrist without any appointment just to see if I can order contact lense before we leave going in England because I ran out and it's too late to order on online. I remember my cousin in-law works at the Optometrist so I went to her work. She made time for me to see me and the doctor for check up before ordering any contact lense. Because they made an effort to see me without an appointment, I made some eggrolls and friedrice for them for their efforts. As I was checking on my emails, I found this! My cousin in-law sent it to me on my email. Seeing this photo, I forgot that I'm too tired doing all my chores. It's nice to see and get some funny things in your emails. Now I'm sharing it to you and hopefully you won't be look like him if you have swine flu, he he he...(I'm just kidding...)
Have a wonderful day as always....
Have a wonderful day as always....

Busy Week....
Hello everyone...time goes fast because it's my daughter's summer vacation this coming Friday. I can't believe another year went by. She will be in 7th grade this coming school year starts (August). She is getting old too and of course if someone you love is adding a year each year that means I'm getting very old as well he he...Anyway forget the age, this coming Saturday on the 13th, we will be in England again for second time. This is our one week summer vacation because my hubby will never have another vacation until December (we are going home in the Phils.) Even though this is our second trip in England, I'm always excited to see such a beautiful and historic place or country like England. I'm so happy that my sister in-law stationed in England so that we can visit not only her but also the country. She will take us in London to see the Lion King Show Live! I have never been in that kind of show so this is my first time and my daughter, too. She is also taking us in Dublin, Ireland another country next to England. I don't know what to expect but they said that Ireland is expensive place like England. The only good thing about Ireland is that their currency is Euro like here in Germany unlike England who has Sterling Pounds almost two dollars for exchange in 1 pounds, it's outrageous! My sister in-law will also taking us in Pormeigerion(?), Spode and Aynsley where they sells the most expensive dishes like plates, mugs, pitcher and so on...She collects Fine Bone China, she probably has more than 10 different kind of dishes set. I collect some stuffs too but dishes? is not my thing. My hubby wants me to buy the dishes set but I told him that we can't afford it especially we are going home this year and we need that money not the dishes.

Word of God
Encouragement When Afraid of Death
Jesus said to her, "I am the one who brings people back to life, and I am life itself. Those who believe in me will live even if they die. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die..."
John 11:25-26
Brothers and sisters, we don't want you to be ignorant about those who have died. We don't want you to grieve like other people who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and came back to life. We also believe that, through Jesus, God will bring back those who have died. They will come back with Jesus. So then, comfort each other with these words!
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14,18
My sheep respond to my voice, and I[Jesus] know who they are. They follow me, and I give them eternal life. They will never be lost, and no one will tear them away from me.
John 10:27-28
He [our Lord Jesus Christ] died for us so that, whether we are awake in this life or asleep in death, we will live together with him.
1 Thessalonians 5:10
"Death, where is your victory?
Death, where is your sting?"
Sin gives death its sting, and God's standards give sin its power. Thank God that he gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:55-57
After these things I saw a large crowd from every nation, tribe, people, and language. No one was able to count how many people there were. They were standing in front of the throne and the lamb. They were wearing white robes, holding palm branches in their hands. One of the leaders asked me, "Who are these people wearing whites robes, and where did they come from?"
I answered him, "Sir, you know."
Then he told me,
"These are the people who are coming out of the terrible suffering.
They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb.
That is why they are in front of the throne of God.
They serve him day and night in his temple.
The one who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.
They will never be hungry of thirsty again.
Neither the sun nor any burning heat will ever overcome them.
The lamb in the center near throne will be their shepherd.
He will lead them to springs filled with the water of life,
and God will wipe every tear from their eyes."
Revelation 7:9, 13-17

Simple snoring can lead to serious...
I was wondering why some people mostly men snores a lot and very loud! I was looking at Yahoo web sites and I found this article about snoring. I have been having problem with my partner every time he sleeps. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one who's having these problem. They said that the reason a person snores is because he/she is tired ot worn-out but I've been observing my partner that being exhausted is not the reason. I don't believe that being tired makes them snores during their sleeps. I found the answer and I will enclosed it on my blog why, what causes and how to prevent or treated the snoring...also you can find out by looking at the illustration or photos.
What is snoring?
You snore when the flow of air from your mouth or nose to your lungs makes the tissues of your throat vibrate when you sleep. This can make a loud, raspy noise. Loud snoring can make it hard for you and your partner to get a good night’s sleep.
You may not know that you snore. Your bed partner may notice the snoring and that you sleep with your mouth open. If snoring keeps you or your bed partner from getting a good night’s sleep, one or both of you may feel tired during the day.
Snoring may point to other medical problems, such as obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can be a serious problem, because you stop breathing at times during sleep. So if you snore often, talk to your doctor about it.
Snoring is more common in men than in women.

What causes snoring?
When you sleep, the muscles in the back of the roof of your mouth (soft palate), tongue, and throat relax. If they relax too much, they narrow or block your airway. As you breathe, your soft palate and uvula vibrate and knock against the back of your throat. This causes the sounds you hear during snoring.
The tonsils and adenoids may also vibrate. The narrower the airway is, the more the tissue vibrates, and the louder the snoring is.
See pictures of the tonsils, adenoids, and uvula and the soft palate.
How is it treated?
You may be able to treat snoring by making changes in your activities and in the way you sleep. For example:
Lose weight if you are overweight.
Quit smoking.
Sleep on your side and not your back.
Limit your use of alcohol and medicines such as sedatives before you go to bed.
If a stuffy nose makes your snoring worse, use nose strips, decongestants, or nasal steroid sprays to help you breathe.
When you sleep, use a device in your mouth that helps you breathe easier. This device pushes your tongue and jaw forward to improve airflow.
If these treatments do not work, you may be able to use a machine that helps you breathe while you sleep. This treatment is called continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP (say "SEE-pap"). In rare cases, your doctor may suggest surgery to open your airway.
Snoring is not always considered a medical problem, so find out if your insurance covers the cost of treatment.
Hopefully this will help for those who snores because it does help me!
