We (me and dear HB) had the chance to visit the Castle Ruins in Donaustauf, a small town located near Regensburg in Bavaria, Germany. Actually before we proceeded to this castle, we visited first Walhalla Temple which is also located in the same town. You can browse my categories here to find some photos of Walhalla. From above the castle ruins, you can see the Danube River that flows in this place. I always love to see historical places like this. Here is the picture below taken last May 2009 during our visit there.

The Franciscan Church in Rothenburg ob der Tauber
I took the photo of this Franciscan Church in Rothenburg ob der Tauber during our visit last January 2009. It is very obvious because of the date embedded on the picture here. It is known to be the oldest Church of Rothenburg. It was consecrated in the year 1309 and is now celebrating its 700 years of consecration. The church is open to the public for free from 10-12 and 14-16. During the winter months of January and February, it is only open during Saturday and Sunday. Some churches in Germany have entrance fees especially if they need financial help for renovation like the St. Jacob's Church in Rothenburg.
For my highlight tonight, I am sharing a bit about appetite suppressant. I have a bad habit sometimes of eating in the middle of the night. A very concrete example was last night. I went down to eat at around 11PM. HB told me this evening that somebody ate last night because he saw the empty plates laying on the kitchen sink as he took his coffee time this morning before he go to work. I just smiled to HB as he told me about it. This is the reason why I am thinking to take appetite suppressant to stop this bad habit. More updates tomorrow guys. Good night to everyone especially to all friends in Europe.

Schloss Wörth near Regensburg, Bavaria
Let's go this time to Germany and visit Schloss Wörth. It is a castle located near Regensburg in Bavaria, Germany. We had the chance to visit this castle last August 2009. I am striking a pose at the entrance of the castle. This castle is now an Altenheim, a German word for Home for the Aged. We went inside and we saw some old people there. These people found a new home now inside this castle. You can also see an old but historical Church inside. I just forgot the name now.

Let's Go To Venice, Italy
This is quite a very old picture but I still cherish it. This was taken during my first visit in Venice, Italy last October 2005. At that time, I was using a film camera not a digital one. It means that I just scanned this picture to share here. Since Venice is surrounded by water and October is already a fall season, the weather here can be very cold. My friend in the picture was already freezing a bit. I guess wearing a UGG Bailey Button is a perfect outfit when you visit Venice during autumn and winter time. I just bought a new one last month. It is not so expensive and I am happy to have one already. You can also see the St. Mark's Basilica in the background. I wish to go back there next time with a better camera and perfect clothings too especially during cold times.
My Euro Travel in Prague, Czech Republic
Let's go travel again! This is one of the pictures I just browsed in my files. I randomly select it for my entry today. This was taken during our visit in Prague, the capital city of Czech Republic last September 2008. I am trying to remember now if that tower is one of the bridge towers of the Charles Bridge. Don't you know that Prague is also the biggest city of Czech Republic? Yes, it is. Just have fun watching my photos here! Feel free to browse my categories in my sidebar for more pictures!

Leaving On a Jet Plane
Did you just read my title guys? I am leaving on a jet plane soon! I finally had my plane ticket last Saturday. I am leaving on the last week of this month to see my family again. Being away from our family is not an easy situation. That is the reason why we need to have a contact with them once in a while by phone or by internet. I know some friends who are using cheap phone cards to call their families back home. I also have a friend from the United States who is using Calling Cards everytime she calls home. It is cheaper compared to regular phone calls. Sometimes you will even get some discounts when using it.
I am happy to be home again after three years of not having a vacation there. I already received messages and emails from my friends asking me when I am going home this year. I am quite excited to see them again. My sister from Las Vegas is also also using prepaid phone Cards when calling to Philippines. She told me that it is very convenient and you save some bucks when using it. She said that for a $10.00 card, you can already talk for around one and a half hour. I also find it very affordable and cheaper compared to using direct landline phone. I just remembered as I called home the first time I stepped in Europe. I did not know about those phone cards before. Imagine paying around 60.00 Euros for a one hour call. That is very expensive. Now I already know what I have to use when calling home. I'm taking a short break now! I guess I am getting a headache again!
Spending Halloween in Warwick Castle, England
I can't imagine that I had been in Warwick Castle in England. I spent Halloween there last year. Thanks to a friend Loloy for touring me there. That was a nice day we had there seeing and experiencing what are in this castle. I hope I can share more updates next time. I just can't stay too long now because I heard some strange noise from my computer. My other netbook is not starting anymore. To all friends out there, I will visit you soon once my pc problem will be resolved. I am thinking of buying a new one but I need money for my long vacation back home. I hope that this old pc will not collapse before I take my vacation. It is just processing very very slow. Happy Halloween to all! wishing everyone a good start of the month!

Olympia Park in Munich, Germany
Before the month of October is ending, I am bringing you to Olympia Park in Munich, Germany. This was constructed for the 1972 Summer Olympics. I always see this place when we pass by Munich but only last September 2009 that I was able to go inside. There is an entrance when you go inside. I guess it was 3 or 4 Euros per person. I already forgot it guys. You can probably try to browse in the net. Olympiapark as it is written in German, is located in "Oberwiesenfeld" or "upper meadow-field" in English. Now it serves as a venue for cultural, social and religious events. Here is a photo of me from this place. I wish everyone a great start of November.

It's Autumn Time in Europe
Good evening guys! I arrived home at around eight o'clock tonight. I attended for the first time a burial ceremony in Germany. That was really sad especially when someone in the family or person who is closed to us is gone but that is life. I drove around 60 kilometers to my friend's house. I decided to drive to the back road instead of taking the motorway. The surroundings around is very astounding at this moment. It really fascinates me on how the trees change to different colours. This is the true beauty of nature. I am thankful that the weather was very friendly. If you also read my other blog, I am evading the cold winter in Europe this time. I am finally going home for vacation starting next month. I just need to do a lot of things there. I guess I need a new granite tile for my kitchen. There are just so much things to do in the house including minor renovations. Finally I want to let you know that I took this photo today while driving on the back road. More updates tomorrow guys. I am just so tired now. take care peeps!

Birmingham City Council House
Good evening guys! How are you doing? I hope all is fine with you. I felt better now after spending almost an hour in the bathtub. I just felt so tired today after doing some household chores in the house and other important things that need to be taken care of. I am happy that I did accomplished some things today.
I am sharing again a photo taken in Birmingham, England. This building is the Birmingham City Council House. It is located in Victoria Square in Birmingham just adjacent to the City Hall in this city. I am also featuring tonight about small business voip. I believed this is a good article to share especially for entrepreneurs and small business owners who want to save their telephone bills. Vocalocity small business VoIP is offering this convenient , affordable and high quality VoIP phone system who will help you save your telephone expenses. This kind of telephony system called "VoIP" which means Voice over Internet Protocol uses internet connection instead of the traditional landline. I already heard a business owner who called me last time using this system. We talked about business and I hope that I can help him expand his business in my home country. If you are interested about this service, feel free to browse Vocalocity to see more of its features and how it works.
