Lazy Summerdays
You don't get anything for nothing in life. This is the main motto of our life. This is the epigraph of our biography - whether we like it our not.
According to the book of Genesis, after God created the universe in six days, he rested on the seventh day. In other words, He took a vacation. So, if God reted after working for the some period of time, there is no reason why man, who is finite and limited in his physical streng, should not take a vacation.
Hurray, doing nothing is really something. No, I don't mean those people, who just hang out day-by-day and week-by-week (Filipinos and/or expatriates!) doing nothing. No, I mean, doing nothing is really something after a period of really hard work. By the way, it doesn't matter, if it regards our children or us. None of us need all our time. Also my nieces and nephews started now enjoying some lazy summerdays. At home, at a beach, during a trip somehow somewhere... .
I met innumerable kids, who don't go to dances, gymnastics, piano or trampoline lessons. One of nieces loves take-wan-do. Okay lang. Others don't want to, and that's fine with their parents. When the kids are ready, they will surely join a sport or ask to take lessons in something that interests them. No, not now. Pwede! Enjoy some lazy summer days. It's vacation time in the Philippines.
For now, especially during school vacation, time off is just time off and should be - from time to time. Lazy summer days - if we're not on duty - how cool such days could be: Stay outside and so absolutely nothing structured. Maybe, go for walks, ride bikes (ignore the rain!), go to the beach (swimming while raining is wonderful!), have a picnic somewhere. Or, if you really can't survive the bad weather, stay home drawing, playing games, write something
or read one of those books, waiting for you since years.I still remember my lazy summer days, when I wasn't yet living in the Philippines, sitting in the blazing sun, eating a Popsicle, getting all sticky, and running after the bees. Those (old) lazy summer days even turned into lazy winter days in my home country Germany, and shaped and characterized my whole life.
So guys, enjoy some lazy summer days right now - somewhere - somehow, especially if you're stressed, overwhelmed or depressed. You really deserve it! Let's rest for a while to acquire new energy. Me too! Yes, me too! While you might read this, I also enjoy the first of my lazy summer days - somewhere - somehow!

Radioactive Plume From Japan to Reach US
Of course, you might wonder, why I repost such stuff as an expat living in the Philippines.
Sie moegen sich alle wundern, warum ich derartige Artikel hier auf meiner Webseite veroeffentliche.
The wind could have change its direction. The Philippines are indeed not very far away from Japan.
Der Wind haette seine Richtung immer noch aendern koennen, und, er koennte es noch immer. Die Philippinen sind nun wirklich nicht sehr weit entfernt von Japan.
It's the concern of a German expat living in the Philippines.

Camille Saint-Saens - one of my piano idols...
I love playing piano since I turned to the age of 4.Chopin and many other composers became my idols. And also he,
Camille Saint-Saens.
MY EXPATRIATE LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES NEVER EVER GETS BORING. Why? I keep myself busy and I took everything and everybody with me. Also my music and my classical music composers.

Basilica Minore del Santo Nino - a Cebu Trip
Der Bau der heutigen Basilika - frueher San Augustin Church - wurde 1740 vollendet. Drei hoelzerne Konstruktionen fielen zuvor den Flammen zum Opfer. Die leicht verwitterte Steinkirche ist El Senor Santo Nino, eine kleine Jesuskind-Statue. Man braucht viel Zeit und Ausdauer, um dies bewundern zu koennen - es heisst, lange in der Schlange zu stehen.
Uebrigens, es soll das Taufgeschenk Magellans an die Gattin Humabons sein. Santo Nino ist der Schutzpatron der Cebuanos.
Santo Nino is the patron of the Cebuanos.
