Thankful for the reliable multicab

Posted on November 25, 2011 by online wife

We had a funny yet embarrassing moments last month on our way here from my sister’s place in the nearby city. Their car seemed to have problem before we left their place. By the time we are slowing down because we are approaching Task Force Davao’s checkpoint, the vehicle suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. We don’t have a choice but to get off the car – excluding my nephew and my BIL who drives – and push it until it started again. We had that dilemma thrice until we reached our destination…and we were all tired after. Muscles sored because we were unprepared and didn’t have time to warm up. Hence for days we suffered from muscle pains in our thighs and arms.

However, we were still glad that we reached home safe because we drove back to Digos that night. On our way, we were silently praying that the car’s engine won’t stop while we are in the middle of the road. Or else, we won’t have a choice but to leave the car and call for an rv towing truck errr…a towing truck the following day. But thankfully we arrived my sister’s place safe and sound. Still thankful for the reliable multicab!

Off to Amsterdam and Vienna…in my dreams!

Posted on July 2, 2011 by online wife

There was a question posted one time in the forum I am a member of. Given the chance that we have a certain amount of money, where are we going to travel or should I say, what places are we going to visit? I am a big fan of our national tourism effort so I answered I wanted to visit as many places within the country as possible. Hubby and I actually have a goal – to visit one province at a time – should we have enough travel funds.

As expected, lots of the members said they wanted to visit foreign countries. For the love of architecture and Amsterdam design, most people wanted to visit and see the beautiful place of Amsterdam. As we all know, Amsterdam has a rich architectural history. For those who are going to Switzerland, a museum zurich tour is a must to have a better understanding of Zurich’s rich history. But what I am very interested with is seeing Vienna Art with my bare eyes and capture the beautiful architectural designs, paintings, and any other form of art that Vienna is proud of.

How I wish I and hubby can travel around the country soon…so we can start conquering beautiful places outside the country. I am keeping my fingers crossed for more work opportunities so we could save for travel funds.

Watching travel shows and appreciating Zurich design

Posted on June 17, 2011 by online wife

Watching travel and cooking shows is one of my favorite things to do when I am away from the computer. Hubby joins me in my passion and now he is more into those shows that is entertaining and “educational” for us. We both love watching cooking shows and even those reality cooking shows because we both love to cook. We prepare our meals (which we SHOULD do) at home and are getting ideas and inspirations from the shows that we are watching.

We also love watching travel shows for one obvious reason – we love to travel! Be it local travel or international travel shows, we don’t get tired watching it. We are learning a lot from those shows from culture, to food, to fashion sense, even to the architectural designs of the buildings and homes. Watching travel shows is like sitting in the class of arts appreciation where you are taught about Zurich design, Vienna Design, and any other famous architectural designs that is rich in history and exceptionally beautiful. One gets to appreciate other places and gets to know about Valencia Art more than when it is taught in Arts Appreciation 101 class.

So if you are like me and hubby who can’t afford to experience a real vacation to places that is rich in history, culture and arts such as Zurich, Vienna and Valencia (to name a few), let’s watch travel shows! I must say it is entertaining and educational.
