In times like these....


This morning went to the "Auslanderamt" to submit some relevant documents concerning my application for citizenship. I need to declare my property and pass another exam. pre requisite for the change of citizenship. Funny thing is, what I heard they asks questions about history not even germans don`t know the answer, how would they expect foreigners

Anyway, also to follow up, why my invitation for my sister was not granted, but as I expected, no clear answer and need to call the German Embassy in the PI.

Honestly, I`m not in the mood for that, things like these I need a drive to do so...

On my way back home, the sky is bright, the sun is shining and the autobahn or expressway is free from "stau" or traffic....

I enjoy driving, I think I drive reasonably In auto expressway, there are at least 3 lanes, Lorries are not suppose to drive to overtaking lanes, they`re allowed to drive 80 km per hour and cars are unlimited unless there`s limit, say 130 km. per hour. ,100 km or roadworks

Well this morning, I was driving between 120 to 130 km per hour and this §$/&% lorry didn`t see me, tried to overtake the lorry in front of him, not sure of my distance from him but how I see it, it`s so impossible to stopped the car for seconds???

Good that he refrain from overtaking, so the accident was avoided

...and as I pass by him, (the driver), he was so angry, can you believe it? As if it`s my fault that I didn`t full break the car!

In times like these, the only present in my mind are the .
I guess mother`s instinct

Could have been worse but thank God for the angel protection

Thank you "Nan, you`re right about those lorries, I will keep your excellent advise in my mind.

Aww, that must be hard for your ex bf. I already had an accident two years ago with my white SAAB against Audi, but that was not my fault so I got something from insurance. Nothing happened to me and the other driver except that the new Audi`s motor was really crashed and mine is only the left front light. But due to the age of my car´, it was declared by car insurance total damaged and instead use the money to buy another same old SAAB from my ex. At least, that`s the only common denominator we have we`re both SAAB fan

With my citizenship, though right now, I don`t see many advantages (aside from travel) for I really don`t know until when I will stay in this country. For sure, I want to live in warm climate (like Phils.) when I retire . Maybe for the sake of the children so I have equal rights with my ex, as kids are also german citizen

I think Swiss are have 4 languages? my friends kids there have at least 4 plus mother`s tounge so I see it as advantage for kids.
My kids are also expose in three languages, german english and tagalog. How I see it`s easier for kids to learn, like a play than grown ups...hope to keep that going for them
