Back to the drawing board

I am sooo peeved! I wrote a ton of bloggies and when I hit "Publish", everything vanished into thin air!?

Is this bloody BLOG working?
Welcome to my world! After years in the fast-paced tech world, I am now in my 50s, child-free, and embracing a slower pace of life in the Dutch countryside. This diary is a collection of my favorite things: the joy of country home life, my new journey into learning how to garden, and my lifelong passion for travel. Whether I am nurturing my backyard plants, nesting at home, or exploring art, history, and culinary delights abroad, I am documenting it all. Come on in. I hope you enjoy your stay!

    my name is Gabriele and i'm an italian guy. During a period i spent in singapore i knew a pinay girl. At the biginning i tought it was just a one night story, but day by day i realized that what i felt changed. Unfortuntaley i had to come back in Italy but we talk everytime we can ( i'll graduate this year and she works in singapore as a QC coordinator in a big company).
    Next year probably i'll go to netherland to continue my study as a PhD student and i'm thinking on asking her to come with me. I know it's an important choose but i think this is the only way to continue our story.
    I would ask u some question:
    -is it hard to find a job for a graduated pinay girl in Rotterdam/Den-haag zone?
    -is it hard to have a touristic visa in netherlands? she probably will need it to find a job
    -after she will find a job how about a permanent visa or anything like that?
    i would appreciate any advice because i really care about this girl and i would biuld something important with her.
    Thank you very much and good luck for your entire life.
    this is my email contact: gabriele.biotek@gmail.com

Balkan Roadtrip - Bosnia Herzegovina: Visit to Medjugorje / Medugorje

By

My friend Bubbles, who I was travelling with within the Balkans had a request that we stop over at Medjugorje. We got lucky because Medjugorje was on the way to Dubrovnik, Croatia, which is our next stop. Half an hour into our driving, we reached Medjugorje. Parking was not so easy to find but we struck lucky and found a space not too far away from the Saint James Church. Medjugorje or Medugorje is a world-famous Catholic pilgrimage site due to the Our Lady of Medjugorje which claimed to have a series of apparitions of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, to 6 Bosnian children at  Križevac Hill . I knew about this story growing up. Our family was by default Catholic until my parents moved to become Pentecostals in my teens. I still went to a Catholic school so I was largely familiar with the practices of Roman Catholicism. Being a curious and open-minded individual, I do not mind participating in any religious activity.  Although I do not believe in a god, I find it a richly ...

Bangkok, Thailand: The Story Behind the Impressive Serpent Statue at Suvarnabhumi Bangkok International Airport

If you fly out from the new Bangkok ‘Suvarnabhumi’ International Airport, the huge, colourful and impressive mythical statue popular in Thai and Indian culture, the 3-headed serpent Naga (his name Vasuki) in a spectacular tug-of-war scene with its mid-section body wrapped around a stone, which is actually a mountain, and Vishnu one of the supreme deities in Hindu is sitting on top, will greet you as you finish immigration and step inside the airport’s duty free shopping area. You just have to stop and be dazzled by it. The whole installation is impressive and as I took pictures I wondered what the story is behind this scene. After much googling around, I found out that the statue is very famous in Hindu culture and religion. This legendary scene is called ‘Samudra Manthan’ in other words in English – the ‘Churning of the Ocean of Milk’. I have no idea why it is called the ocean of milk though, perhaps it is mere an expression of allegory. There is no official state religi...
