Your Mother is always with You

For a dear friend Marilou F.
Our deep sympathy for the passing
away of her mother this early spring.






Your mother is always with you...

She is the whisper of the leaves
as you walk down the street.

She is the cool hand on your brow
when you're not well.

Your mother lives inside
your laughter. She's crystallized
in every tear drop.

She's the place you came from, your first home.
She's the map you
follow with every step that you take.

She's your first love and your first heart break...
and nothing on earth can separate you.

Not time, not space...
not even death...
will ever searate you
from your mother...

You carry her inside you...

Pinays Celebrate International Women's Day

(photos by ML)
In keeping with their yearly celebration of the IWD
International Women's Day (March 8), Philippine Women's
Forum e.V. (Babaylan Germany) and Babaylanes Internationales
held an information evening with a film showing of
Lualhati Bautista's story "Bata, Bata Paano Ka Ginawa"
at the Internationaleszentrum Stolzestrasse in Cologne,
Germany on March 9, 2007.
The film Bata, Bata Paano Ka Ginawa, starring
Vilma Santos, Albert Martinez, Ariel Rivera, Raymond
Bagatsing, Carlo Aquino and Serena Dalrymple and
directed by Chino Rono, tells of the story of Lea, played
by Vilma Santos a Filipina torn between her belief in herself
as an individual who has her own right to her own decision
and the expectation and tradition of Philippine society
regarding women as mothers and partners.
'If I am were a person who has no own identity, I would
never be a good mother,' declared Lea to her ex-husband
as the two searched for the reason for their failed marriage.
At the end of the film, Lea while giving a talk during
a graduation ceremony, she concluded: "The question how
the children are made is not really difficult. The most difficult
question is for parents to know how they would raise
up their children as decent, just and humane beings. For if
the children are molded as such, then we could offer them
a decent, just and humane society. We should all reach
for the stars and make our collective dreams come true."

The women agreed to hold another gathering to talk
about the film and specifically on the topic of Filipino
women and their rights and obligations as well as
privileges as mothers, partners and above all as thinking
individuals.

MARCH 8 (IWD) INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again.

Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman.

You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul.

Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman.

I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand.

Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman.

Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong

I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman.

food or stop doing something that they enjoy.

It 's all over on Ash Wednesday

It was a sequence of celebrations, since the start of February
this year: Valentine's Day, Weiberfastnacht, Chinese New
Year, Rosenmontag and the series of birthday parties
of all the February born women of the Eat and Meet
Club. For the birthday parties, much food, less booze.

Pssst, no comment on this tradition, I mean on Fasching
or Carnival. It is sacred to many Germans who are natives
of this Carnival stronghold.
"Hic, hic, hic, that is a joke,
all together now, Tata, tata. Wir lieben das Leben,
und wir haben immer Durst! Viva Colognia!"
One thing I like about this tradition is that one could be away
for years and yet, one does not feel that one has missed
something. Same procedure as every year.
And starting on Ash Wednesday, thank God, we will see again
the familiar seriousness of our seasonal clowns and Jeckens until
November 11 at 11 am.

Amor Vincit Omnia! Chocolate Conquers All

I have perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes,
and cinnamon.
Come, let us take our
fill of love
until the morning;
let us solace ourselves
with loves.
Proverbs 7:17-18





Happy Valentine's Day!

So they say the way through a man's heart is through
his stomach.
I say, one of those ways is having a host of friends
who can cook and bake
and prepare love potions.
The cake is lovingly baked by Charito and if
you wish to have a piece of it or the whole
'orgasmic' package, let me know and we
could arrange orders and delivery
plus a lecture on how to have your
love cake and eat it too!

Loving you is easy 'coz your beautiful
Making love with you
Is all I wanna do!
Lalalalala
Lalalalala
La la la la la la la la
Dobbie dobbie duduuu
Aaahhhhhhhhhh!

Break Fast

After 8 days of Heilfasten, I decided to break it yesterday.
My weight: 57,900 on that last fasting day, still heavy for me but
I need to start eating due to planned dinning out with non-fasting
friends.
Weight: 1st 'Build-up'Day: 57,100

To break my fast and start a slow return to my eating
pattern, I consumed the ff:

a) Herbal tea for breakfast
b) One piece of steamed apple, this is my usual fasting breaker,
the first solid food after each fasting program. I took slowly spoonful
by spoonful the soft apple pieces while really enjoying its taste.
c) One pack of instant potato soup with a piece of crispbread for
a late lunch.
Later in the afternoon, I rested with a hot-water bag placed
alternately on my abdomen and buttocks.
Then I took another cup of herbal tea in the evening.
As I was not feeling hungry, I skipped this dinner of potato soup
and just took water instead. I forgot also to drink buttermilk with
linseeds. I soaked two pieces of prunes overnight for breakfast.

Sunday, 2nd 'Build-up' Day
Weight: 57,300
For Breakfast: One small glass of sauerkraut juice or whey, soaked prunes
Mineral Water
For Lunch: Three pieces of boiled potato with green salad dressed in
lime juice, sunflower oil, salt and pepper with chives.
Mineral Water
For Dinner: One glass of butter milk with linseeds and one piece of
crispbread.

It was a bit raining today and I did not feel like taking that long
walk but did some light gymnastics. Was feeling very stable except
for the slight heaviness in my stomach. Spent the afternoon
reading books on Heilfasten and reviewed and noted what I need
for the 3rd 'build-up' day.

For Breakfast: Herbal Tea and muesli (cereals with yoghurt, apples
nuts, soaked raisins, honey and a squeeze of lemon juice)
In between meals: Fruits
Lunch: Fresh vegetable salad, red beets with horseradish and one
piece of boiled potato
In the afternoon: 1 apple and 12 pcs. of wallnuts or hazelnuts
Dinner: Fresh salad of one's choice

After three or five build-up or transition days, one could go back
to normal eating with a renewed promise not to indulge on
honey- roasted nuts and dunkin'doughnuts. May the power be
with me!

Now, partying can start again before Ash Wednesday.

In Bavaria, to be thin is to be unCatholic

I got this email from someone from South Germany.

An Madamme: Fasten is sehr ungesund. Als Bayer kann mich nicht
genug davor warnen. Auf bayerischen Dulten (Jahrmärkten) ist
immer wieder die greussliche Moritat von einer Dame zu hören,
die so sehr gefastet hat, dass sie durch das Abflussrohr ihrer
Badewanne gesaugt wurde. Ich habe noch den
Refrain im Ohr. "...ja so dinn war die Leoboldin..."
Im Bayern gilt Dünn-sein als unkatholisch, zwar gibt es zwischen
Faschingu nd Karfreitag eine Fastenzeit, aber da muss man
besonders fette Mehlspeisen wie Dampfnudeln, Buchtin,
Germknödin, aus'zogne Grapfn und natürlich Apfelstrudl,
Kaiserschmarm und Powidldatschgerin unserer
böhmish-österreichischen Nachbarn in großen Mengen verzehren
und dazu das nahrhafte Fastenbier trinken, nur eines darf man beim
Fasten nie: dünn werden!
Damit wünsche ich auch Madamme einen guten Appetit!

Now roughly translated: Fasting is very unhealthy. As a Bavarian,
I should really warn you. In Bavarian Dulten (fair) one hears
about a woman who fasted so radically that she was swallowed
by the drainpipe of her bathtub. I can still hear the refrain: ...
" ja, so thin was Leoboiden.."
In Bavaria, to be thin is to be unCatholic. Indeed, there is
a fasting time between Fasching and Holy Friday and
during this time one must devour especial fatty
farinaceous food like Dampfnudeln, Buchtin, Germknödin, Grapfn
and of course, applestrudel, Kaiserschmarm und Powidldatschgerin
from our Bohemian-Austrian neighbor and drink nutritious fasting beer.
Only one thing is not allowed by fasting: to get thin!

Personal Fasting Note:
4th Fasting Day
Weight: 58,300
Feeling a bit hungry, had enema, did some stretching, but could
not finish even a liter water.

More later.

Personal Tips for Heilfasten or Fasting

I am sharing this fasting tips based on my personal fasting experience which I have been
doing since a decade now. Once or twice a year, normally in February, yes after those Christmas indulgences and jeans won't fit any longer, I plan a five-day Heilfasten which I normally extend up to seven days depending on my mood and invitations to birthday parties.

For beginners, I suggest that you do Heilfasten
when you are not so loaded with heavy work, on weekends or when you really decide to
slow down your socializing life a bit and enjoy some few days of meditative mood, walks, reading, sorting out papers and pure leisure time alone with yourself while your body experiences internal cleansing.

In any day of fasting, you will need:

• 1 to 2 cups of herbal tea for Breakfast
• Water in between meals (at least 2 liters per day)
• 1/4 liter of fruit juice mixed with water for lunch
• 1 to 2 cups of herbal tea (tasted with honey if you wish)
• 1/4 liter of vegetable broth

For my vegetable broth, I normally prepare soup consisting of
potatoes, carrots, leeks, celery roots and leaves and cook it for
about 20 minutes. I sift about a bowlful of soup pressing the
solid vegetables and spice it with sea salt, bio- instant vegetable
broth and garnish it with finely chopped parsley.

For the fruit juice portion for dinner or lunch, I use juicer for my
cocktails of mangoes, pineapples, carrots, apples or buy bottled pure
juices from bio-shops.

Personal Note.

2nd Fasting Day: Weight: 59,500 kg.
3rd Fasting Day: Weight: 58,800

I felt a bit weak early this morning and did not have a good sleep.
Dreams were colorful but really chaotic. Was dreaming of these two
boxes "save as draft" and "publish".
Mouth was tasting sticky and tongue getting "chalky".
Did not apply any cream nor use deodorant and body lotion.

More updates later.

Start of Heilfasting or Mga Pinay, Gusto ba Ninyong Pumayat?

February 02
Weight: 60.6kg

There are two options left when I can't get into
my jeans: buy new and baggy jeans with long
blouse or start my annual Heilfasting. I decided
for the radical choice. No chocolate, no wine, no
dunkin' doughnuts nor nuts, no solid food for the next five
days. I will begin a week of fasting and that means,
no solid food only tea, lots of water and juices and veggie
soups.

First Fasting Day: Friday

Dissolved 1.5 Tablespoon of Glaubersalz (salt) in half liter
mix of fruit juice and water. Stirred it well and drank the juice.
(Yaks! I know the taste but this is an important step before
one starts with Heilfasting.)

Stayed domestic. Kept running between computer
and john. Read old emails. Chatted with mates.
Warned a chatmate that she is sending me porno links.
She said that must be a virus and I should not open it.

More on Heilfasting:

Each day, one needs to drink 2 liters of water. (I still have to
manage even a liter!) Then one or two cups of tea for breakfast,
1/4 liter of pure fruit juice or vegetable broth either for lunch
or dinner. Better stay at home for the first and second day.
No heavy manual work. (Yehey!) One can blog the whole
day.

I'll keep you posted.

Hubby's Instant Creation

Isang positive effect nitong blogging ay yun getting addicted to the
whole thing, nawawala yun interest mong maglinis at ni maglinis
ng bahay. Hala, blog dito at duon maghapon. Mula sa boiling
milk hanggang sa kung ano ang kakainin sa dinner. Madonna!
natapos na pala ang isang araw eh etong Pinay na bagong blogger
hindi nararamdaman nakalipas na ang isang araw. Mabuti na lang
USA ang asawa (for those who are not yet familiar with Pinay
acronymns, under the saya ng asawa) understanding ang mahal
na kabiyak ng puso and he surprised me with his instant
Chicken Vindaloo for our late lunch as one of his instant creations,
one will never know what ingredients he has used to produce this
heavenly tasting develish hot food. Anyway he confessed that he used:
one can Vindaloo from Aldi (hoi, this company should give me credits
for mentioning the name, is this possible?)
olive oil
Mustard
Kaper (I really don't know the English term, capers?)
Mayonnaise
Basilikum
Red Chillies

as of writing, I am also typing tipsyly if there is such a word and it is
nearly half the hour after one in the morning and I am not yet
sleeping and earlier today I promised not to touch my bloody
blogging page...and just have to keep my live friendships and not
spending my time with my computer, it is getting so hot, I think
my lap will get so roasted and I am so attached to this laptop or
notebook and the wine glass stands there empty while hubby looks
for peanuts.

As for the procedure how to cook this instant hubby's instant
creation, you have to come to visit us one day but then I am sure
he would not remember how he did it, just remember the ingredients
and either you grill that can or sautee it altogether with a 100 percent
olive oil.

Now I am still not that tipsy to read publish and sign off for this
morning.
Babush as Jengjeng would say it...is this word hot as we call in
in German cyber lingo?

From the Pot of Contention to Tiffing Point

One Sunday morning

Hubby: Watch the milk!
Blogging Wife: Of course, I do.
(Telephone rings!!!)
BW: Oy, ano, was just thinking of calling U.
tralalalala
tralalalala
etc, etc, etc,
ano pa, ano pa,
sige,
we are about to have Brunch, BRUNCH!
AY, D MILK!

(ANG PUTRIS NA GATAS LAGING NAG-UUMALPAS!)

Hubby: TOLD YOU SO!
BW: Why does it happen everytime you ask me to look at it.
You can also heat the milk yourself.
Hubby: I don't need hot milk. You want to heat it.
BW: But you said we have brunch and cappuccino.
Hubby: I am happy with my Espresso.
BW: And what about me, do I have no right to have my own needs?
You forgot also...yak, yak, yak, yak, and yak, yak, yak...
Hubby: The bread, you are toasting the bread!
(and so the same procedure every sweet Sunday...)

Talking with My Tulip

Finally, in this winter, snow came in my city but in feathery forms and did not really stay. We turned on the heating for the first time since autumn last year but only for three days. We are thinking of putting it off again tonight when our flat is turned into a temporary huge oven.

See my first planted tulip trying to get out of that dried soil. Could it be the heat in our living room which pushes it to get out of that parched earth screaming for water!
(My plants are all self-supporting, green today, tomorrow brownish
green and on the next days, I will be looking for another pots of green
plants to keep the greening cycle in this corner of our living room.)
Maybe I need to learn '"green"communication.
My girlfriend Emma told me that she talks with her plants and
her house is just like a small greenhouse all throughout the year.
Of course, so does my mother who not only talks with her plants but
scolds them when they refuse to grow or bear flowers at all. Result?
We have one small house surrounded by greening plants and trees of
all sorts, people would not even see there is a house behind these
crawling, hanging leaves and branches. Actually, it is her strategy to
cover the need of renovation in our house; natural, green curtains
to cover the rusting grilles.

For my part as a dutiful daughter living abroad but with other
financial obligations other than putting up my dreamed Italian
villa in our barrio, I could only support her strategy by sending extra
money so she could buy more tree seedlings to cover the roofs, too,
in the future. And I could add my concern that we should really
do our part in anyway in reducing global warming.

She will hate me, I could imagine that.

A Visit from a Precious Friend

Last Friday, Marion called me up informing me that she
would be passing by with Fatima. Ay Susmaryosep! Naka
limutan ko na may bisitang dadating ngayon weekend.
Nakalimutan ko din nasa Europa na ako matagal nakatira.
Walang ffs sa mga scheduled activities o dates kung
walang importanteng pagbabago sa mga planning.
Katatapos din lang ng Orkan Kyrill kaya siguro naiisip ko
na hindi na matutuloy ang mga bisita kaya ayun, nagkalat
pa rin ang mga libro at tiramisu (mga tirang kakanin sa
lamesa na pinagtripan ng dumadaan si Killyr o Kyrill sa
kalagitnaan ng Alemanya.) Swoops, sa isang daanan,
nadala lahat ang mga kalat sa salas duon sa silid tulugan,
pinunasan ang mga namumuting at nakikitang alikabok at
hinoover ang ilang parte ng carpet sa living room. At
ayun, sana naman nag-mukhang living room din yun
lugal ko pag ako ay may bisita.
At this point, hubby commented: Aha, talagang
kailangan lang ng bisita para umayos tong salas at ang bilis!
(Tignan ko lang sa isip-isip ko ano ang sasabihin mo pag
pinanay ko ang pagbibisita, baka mastroke ka bigla at
palitan ang aming pangalan duon sa doorbell.)
Pero of course, hindi ko sinabi na nakalimutan ko ang
aming date. Nambola lang at sinabing akala ko hindi kayo
makakarating gawa ni Orcan Kyrill. Sagot ng magandang
Fatima:
Basta sinabi ko at naplano ko na, itutuloy ko at hindi na
ako tatawag pa.
So learning points for Pinays:
Be sure of your invitation, walang bola-bola, walang
pabalat-bunga o sabi nga ni Tata Pons walang
"fruit of the loom".
Pero sa atin, magpapasiguro pa tayo, tatawag uli,
ipaaalala tuloy o hindi ba kahit tayo yung naimbita o
nangiimbita, di ba?

Later that evening, I was still thinking: ano kaya ang
aking ipakakain sa marikit na muslim?

Isang civil engineer si Fatima at sa kasalukuyang may
scholarship siya sa Alemanya. Nag-aaral pa siya ng
salitang Aleman at sa susunod na mga buwan,
magpapatuloy sila sa management at trainings sa ilang
mga institusyon sa Alemanya bago sila magsibalikan sa
kani-kanilang bayan.

Marami kaming napag-usapan, mula sa kaniyang hijab
"bandana" at sa kaniyang mga kaibigan. Ito ay sinusuot
din ng mga kababaihang Kristiyano at hindi lang ng mga
kababaihang Muslim sa kanilang bayan. At sa tingin
naman niya, matahimik naman ang pagsasama ng mga
Christians at Muslims duon sa kaniyang bayan. Maraming
kaibigan silang mga Christians lalong lalo na ang
kaniyang nanay.

Nang mapagusapan namin ang malulungkot na
karanasan ng mga ibang Pinay sa mga sinasabi naming
Islamic na bayan, nanghilakbot at nalungkot siya at sinabi
na lang, na hindi ito Islam. Sana sa susunod na aming
pagkikita, mas marami na siyang salitang Aleman o
magsasalita na lang kami sa English para mas lalo
kaming magkaintindihan.

Pero ganon pa man, kahit sa kakaunting salitang
alam namin, para kaming magtagal na magkaibigan
at may basis ang aming pagkakaunawaan kahit pa
magkaiba ang aming mga paniniwala at kaugalian.

• mahilig ako sa red wine, siya sa black tea lang

Pero nagustuhan niya ang ginawa kong sushi na
sabi ko "halal" yan. At sa lahat, nagustuhan din
niya ang pandisal na ginawa pa ni Baby W. galing
Mindanao. I mean nagbabakasyon si Baby W.
sa Europa at nagshared siya ng kaniyang knowledge
how to make pandisal. Sa mga susunod na
posting yun how to make pandisal.

Orkan Kyrill-Unang Brown-out sa Alemanya Jan. 18

Yun unang foto ay galing sa isang online newspaper na nagbabalita
tungkol sa pinakamalakas na bagyong dumating sa Europa mula
pa nuong nakaraang 20 taon. Kyrill (galing sa klasikong Grekko na
ibig sabihin ay Panginoon) ay binalitang may lakas na umaabot ng
200 kph sa Alemanya.
Naisip ko naman, ano naman kaya ang ginagawa ng mamang to
sa tabi ng dagat eh alam naman ng lahat na malakas talaga ang
dadating na bagyo.

Historical date din para sa akin ang pagdating ni Kyrill kasi eto ang
unang brown-out ko sa Alemanya. House arrest kami kasi nga
malakas daw talaga ang orkan na ito or bagyo kaya dapat stay indoors
muna daw kung puede. Tumigil ang serbisyo ng mga tren at busses pero
may libre naman daw na pagkain at rationed blankets para duon sa mga
naestranded sa estasyon. Hindi kasali ang Starbucks dito sa station, sigurado.

Ang sarap sanang manood ng bagyo mula sa balcon kung may mainit
na maiinom. Kasi sa Pinas ganon naman di ba, palaging may pinapapak
tayo kung titigil din lang sa bahay gawa ng bagyo.

Walang kuryente, walang mainit na malagkit na tsokolate na
binile ko pa sa Italy.
Walang kuryente, walang blogging, walang chatting, walang telepone,
ang mobile
low bat pa rin.

Ang hirap talaga ng walang POWER!

Ampunin ko Kaya si Kaká!

Una ko siyang nakita sa Roma Termini at pinagtanong agad sa mga kaibigan taga Roma...yun poster niya, I mean. Ang pakla naman ng pangalan pero super cute di ba? Nagorder pa ako ng kaniyang T-shirt mula Milano parang football na fanatic fan pa at sinubaybayan ang games niya nuon World Cup sa Alemanya.
Nang bumisita ako muli sa Milano nuon Disyembre, sabi ni Charmaine, Tita sasamahan kita para makita mo yun mga Christmas lights.Yun palang sorpresa niya... sa kalagitnaan ng isang Piazza, si Kaká nakabantay sa yo, parang Big Brother Watching You ever present sa lahat nang mga dumadaan, nakaauto o nakatram, parang sinasabi, O Armani..mani... mani naman kayo dyan!

Ang sa tutuo lang, I am doing a hit and miss posting this mid-night, can't sleep, nagiging blogging addict at naisipan isingit si Armani and his model at kung sakali swertihin bibile din ako ng isang pair of Armani jeans at sa singit ko talaga ilalapat, susukatin.

Turning the Tube-Paikutikutin at Piliting Abutin

Sabi sa isang headline dito sa bayang Alemanya, walang dapat ibigay na trabaho duon sa mga ayaw mag-anak. Hay, magblog na lang kaya na mag-adopt ng bata sa Pinas para sabihin dito sa Alemanya na may magbabayad ng mga pension at iba pang social insurance ng mga tumatandang mamayang Aleman at migrante sa Europa.

Malakas ang ulan at hanging dadating ngayon gabi kaya tigil sa bahay at pilitin intindihin ang bagong paraan ng mga postings at settings, template at commenting.
Kaya eto, may bagong blogger page at named it katulad ng sabi duon sa taas ng B.

Sige na muna, kailangan nang magred wine at pasta.

Hanggang sa susunod na postings,
