Today, I tried to "clean" my stuff, get rid of unwanted burdens. First, I started with my closet, separating winter from summer wears and in between, just in case, weather tries to go back Gee, after sorting things out, I discovered that amongst those bulks, I`m only using 25% of what`s inside the closet . Some are even unused, still tags on it . Actually many are gifts but I never wear it, either it`s not my taste or just too big for me. So, I think it`s better to give it away than just stay there..Mom in law have some humanitarian projects, distributing used clothes or stuff that is still fine but unwanted in eastern Europe so, that should serve it`s purpose.
Second, those old pictures... memories, memories!
Everytime I see it, I get mix emotions. I feel happy and sad at the same time So, I think it`s time to throw away those stuff. Gee, I moved 3 times in one year , from one place to another and all I did was to carry those emotional loads over and over.
  time to get rid of that too.
And finally, my paper works, part I. Time to shelf that divorce suit case. I got two big files and don`t asks me the details, not sure anymore why so much arguments was written in there Well, just a reading material to sharpen my german
But at least I got happy for what I`ve done today

School summer vacation has just started in our Bundesland, for about 6 weeks. And yesterday, mother in law came and invited me to have a holiday with her going to Belgium, about 5 hours drive from my place. Since I will not fly to Phils. this year, why not?
She said, she booked a holiday flat for a week and scheduled to be on 5 till 12th of July. (Hmm, can I still say no?)
The truth is, I get along with my mom-in-law. She treats me like her own and with that, I can say I`m blessed in a way. She`s always at my side from the very beginning. Even in those times of crisis, I got her moral support. She knows I`m really a good girl
Just one thing I don`t like from her, she spoils my , which I`m not fond of. She`s very fond of giving sweets to the . I think in one year, I can collect a big box of sweets from those gifts she`s giving.
Actually, I told her about it even before, in a way that she won`t get hurt. Like why not bringing fruits or veggies instead of chocolates? Well, she said yes, she brings fruits and veggies...in addition to sweets!
My friends tell me, that is common for granny here. I guess, that`s one thing I have to live with with german grandmothers.
Hmm, maybe it`s a good thing that I live about an hour drive from her. So, If we see each other 5 or 6 times a year, that`s already fine with me. Of course, aside from some phone calls

Getting fit...

For a week now, I`m doing these easy jogging session. I found friends whom I can run with, my friend in the next village, just 5 mins. auto drive from my place or actually 20 mins. walk going there but since I have to go down the road, I`d rather use the car first
And another friend in this village, but she has only once a week time. After bringing our daughters to kindergarden, I just pass by her house and head for the forest rands, maybe for about 30 to 40 minutes is not a bad start. So, if I can maintain it 2 or 3x a week, that should be okey.
My friends are wondering, what am I trying to loose? Where in fact what I want is to gain more, maybe 4 to 5 kilos, I find that ideal for my height.
Actually, I want to get fit. I hardly could out ran the anymore. Either they`re fastly growing or I`m slowing
I need some stretch after those heavy cold days Good fresh air is always fine.. and a bit more contact in the real world .

If I've been consistently unsatisfactory, at least give me credit for being consistent.
If you see a young man open the car door for his girlfriend, either the car is new or the girlfriend is.
Drive carefully: we need every taypayers we can get
Ideas are funny things. They don't work unless you do.
Knowledge may have limits, but it's not so with ignorance.
Love at first sight may be all right, but it might be wise to take a second look

Well, as you all know, I had my divorced early this year. It`s kinda relief on my part. I thought I could really go on...but I realize, it is just one step ahead, still some path to go...especially in regards to `s welfare.
Well, the father of my is fighting for his right. He wants to have the completely custody with them. I just realized that being friendly with your past is not a good idea...can be a step hold against you...I got confused, am I doing the right way? why do my have to suffer for their parents`s fault?
If I would adapt most women`s (here) mentality´ I could have just think of myself, be selfish, get out of the country and disappear..but that was not my goal. I am after my ` whole being!!
I believed, they need their father, no matter what...that`s why I chose to remain, in the same village where their father stays. (did I made a wrong decision again) I tried my best to encourage to see their pop,...but the remain unfriendly to him No matter what I do, it`s not good enough for him...Sometimes it`s too tiring...
Wish I have a wings, could fly like a bird, stay in forest and rest.
I realized avoiding someone who tries to pull you down is wise.
Why should I give up? been thru difficult times...why should I give up?? hayzzz!

(Humour forwarded by a friend)
A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl. Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well until one day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him. The lawyer said that getting a divorce would depend on the circumstances, and asked him the following questions:
Have you any grounds?
-Yes, an acre and half and nice little home.
No, I mean what is the foundation of this case?
- It made of concrete.
I don't think you understand. Do either of you have a real grudge?
- No, we have carport, and not need one.
I mean. What are your relations like?
- All my relations still in Poland
Is there any infidelity in your marriage?
- We have hi-fidelity stereo and good DVD player.
Does your wife beat you up?
- No, I am always up before her.
Is your wife a nagger?
- No, she white.
Why do you want this divorce?
-She going to kill me.
What makes you think that?
-I got proof.
What kind of proof?
- She going to poison me. She buy a bottle at drugstore and put on shelf in bathroom. I can read, and it say:
'Polish Remover'

My Trip to Alien`s Office!

Today, I finally sent the invitation letter to my sister. If all things work out good for her, she will come in two mos. time
I thought I could not invite her bec. I´m still non EU citizen but I`ve learn that here in Germany, as long as you shoulder the visitor`s stay,(talking about from third world country) no reason not to issue a visa. I deposited 1,500 Euros as a security money and I`ll have it again as soon as she`s back to the country of origin.
And since I was already in the office, I followed up my change of citizenship. Submitted the necessary document like my certificate and sign some formality papers, so it should go faster now...
I found out further that to change citizenship here in Germany, you must be married to a german national for at least 3 years, and in the case that you`re separated or divorced (like my case), at least 8 years permanent resident of the country. And this is my 10th year, so that should not give me a problem.
Well, at least something is done this 2 days, and I`m happy for the outcome.

A first-grade teacher, Ms. Brooks, was having trouble with one of her students.
The teacher asked, 'Harry, what's your problem?'
Harry answered, 'I'm too smart for the 1st grade. My sister is in the 3rd grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the 3rd grade too!'
Ms. Brooks had had enough. She took Harry to the principals office.
While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told Ms. Brooks he would give the boy a test. If he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the 1st grade and behave. She agreed.
Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.
Principal: 'What is 3 x 3?'
Harry: '9.'
Principal: 'What is 6 x 6?'
Harry: '36.'
And so it went with every question the principal thought a 3rd grader should know.
The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and tells her, 'I think Harry can go to the 3rd grade.'
Ms. Brooks says to the principal, 'Let me ask him some questions.'
The principal and Harry both agreed.
Ms. Brooks asks, 'What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?'
Harry, after a moment: 'Legs.'
Ms Brooks: 'What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?'
The principal wondered why would she ask such a question!
Harry replied: 'Pockets.'
Ms. Brooks: 'What does a do that a man steps into?'
Harry: 'Pants.'
Ms. Brooks: What starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin, whitish liquid?'
Harry: 'Coconut.'
The principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open.
Ms. Brooks: 'What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?'
The principal's eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the answer, Harry replied, 'Bubble gum.'
Ms. Brooks: 'What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a does on three legs?'
Harry: 'Shake hands.'
The principal was trembling.
Ms. Brooks: 'What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of heat and excitement?'
Harry: 'Firetruck.'
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, 'Put Harry in the fifth-grade, I got the last seven questions wrong.....'
