HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IMEE...

Today, December 8, 2006 is my birthday. There is no party because I'm saving money in preparation for my holiday back home in the Philippines. I stayed with my friends in London and chatted to my little angel, Isabelle.

Dublin, Ireland Day Trip

Rolly and I went for a short day trip to Dublin, Republic of Ireland last Monday, November 13, 2006. We flew to Dublin from Birmingham at about 755am, arrived in Dublin 40 minutes later. We had a good time in Dublin eventhough the weather in the beginning was not cooperating but it cleared later. I had my best experience in Guinness Brewery and Rolly was enjoying two pints of Guinness beer. We went back to Birmingham on the same day, 620pm we departed from Dublin and arriving here at about 7pm. We really enjoyed our time in Dublin. Below are the photos of our day trip in Dublin.

These photos were taken in Germany when Rolly and I went for a holiday last August 9-15, 2006. We stayed in Vilma's mansion in Ludwigshafen near Mannheim. Because of Vilma Zaayenga, we never encountered problems with accomodation, food and transportation. I really like her way. She's such a nice person.

I have in common with Rolly. We loved picture taking in every angles. We ended up sleeping in Frankfurt train station because we missed the trip in going back to Ludwigshafen. We were lost in going back to Mannheim. Our trip was mostly on running and catching up the train. It was really difficult for us to communicate to them due to the communication barrier. We didn't know to speak German and so to them, they can't speak English. But we toured mostly of the big cities of Germany and so their tourist spots.

My sincerest thanks to Vilma again and to Rolly.

And so to, Tata Hess and her hubby, Carsten of Solingen. They entertained us well in Cologne and Dusseldorf.

Malou Haas, who invited us for lunch and dinner. This is also my way of thanking you folks for your never ending hospitality.
