Obviously, I have not posted anything for some days, 'cause here I am again trying to do it all in one day. I wanted to post the drafts I made yesterday. But some friends came over and picked me up. One wanted to go shopping some furnitures. So, off we went to Moebel Walther in Gelnhausen. Then we dropped by at another Filipina's house for a short chat, kaya, eto Ms. Elaine ang explanation kung bakit ina-amag na ang blog site ko....hahaha!
We found a lot of good stuffs at the shop but mostly either it was too big or it was not the type of furniture that my friend wanted, so we ended up going home with a basket of flowers instead, hahahah! Sa labas kasi ng Moebel Walther, merong nag titinda ng flowers one of those rolling stores. Mura naman at magaganda. Kaya napa bili na rin ang aking frendo. Tapos on our way to see this other Filipina, may mga nakita kaming fileds where you can pick the flowers yourself and you just have to pay some coins for them. Sunflowers lang din ang pinitas namin. To go with the nice ones that my friend got earlier. Beside the flower fields was the strawberry fields, but we thought the strawberryies may not be good yet. It is still too early to go strawberry picking this time of the year. So, we scheduled our strawberry picking sometime next week instead. As if naman we are experts on when the good time for strawberry picking is, hahaha!

well, i should really try to write just in english, or maybe someday, i will also make an entry in German...but you see, i am Filipino. it comes out naturally. ;)!
Posted by: missP at August 2, 2004 08:17 AM@hi thess:) , one basket of strawberries for you, waiting to be sent, hhehee!!! have a great day! tc always!
@elaine: 1st time i did it, nandaya ako. kasi, the flowers were almost dying na at that time. so i took two of each but paid only for one...hehehe. last year i did it, i was very honest, kasi ang gaganda talaga nila. they were really fresh & beautiful...
strawberries, the only way i could cheat was eating as much strawberries as i could while on the farm. kasi they weigh the basket/bucket with all the strawberries in it. that's how they determine how much you have to pay; less the weight of the bucket of course!
it's possible na tapos na ang strawberry picking dito, pero hindi ko ito na pansin... so i assumed na hindi pa nga tapos. pero, ur right, kahapon while driving on my way home, wala nga akong nakitang strawberry picking signs dito sa may amin! ngekkk!!!
@russ & svelte:
hola mga dears!! enjoy talaga ito. these are some summer activities namin dito. at talagang ang sasarap ng strawberries. kaya lang problema mo kung paano ubusin ang dalwang bucket ng strawberry kung two lang kayo sa house. i had to learn how to make marmalade, which last year didn't quite work!!! nyhahahaaha!!!!
Posted by: missP at August 2, 2004 08:12 AMhey, i like that picking activity
send me some strawberries? ^_^
Posted by: thess at August 1, 2004 12:23 PMpahabol..... pero wala pang sunflower akong nakikita d2. meron din mga fields dito na pick (your nose) the flowers yourselves tapos may drum lang dun mo ihuhulog yung coins, walang nagbabantay. naisip ko nga, ganun kaya sila ka-honest? kasi d2 ang Gradiola ba yun na flower 3pcs for 10 cents. wala namng bantay at lalung walang nakaka kita kung magkano ang hinulog mo sa drum. meron din kayang mga locals na nandadaya sa bayaran? siguro no? ako lang ba ang bad to think that a flower more wont hurt? hehehe
Posted by: elaine at August 1, 2004 11:00 AMuy, parang biglang lumayo ang place mo sa amin... kasi d2 two months ago pa naubos ang mga strawberries. maaga dito sa area namin namunga at naubos siguro dahil sa location being near the blackforest??
sabi mo nga, pag dating ng hubby ko makaka-resbak ka na sa akin. kasi di ako makaka blog hehehe. buti nga sa yo blog lang ang inamag! nyahahahahaha

Posted by: svelte at July 31, 2004 02:00 AMHi, Hannahlou,
you know, sometimes it is a little bit hard for non - philipino - people to write comments to your articles because of that english - tagallog - mix.But don´t worry, I will try my best to understand it; maybe after clicking on your site for a while I will end up having learned a few words tagallog . . . : ))))))
I will stay tuned
greetings
Rüdiger
have seen those "pick the flowers yourself" somewhere in our area pero never tried it.
