If you don't have a clothes dryer like me, drying your clothes can really be a daunting task. You are in trouble if they don't dry fast because your clothes will get that musty smell, no matter how well it was rinsed or fabric conditioned, whether you like or not. And if you dry them inside the house, the walls would moisten up and the molds begin to grow. That causes an even bigger problem! The room could also get so very dry if you forget to turn the heater down especially at night so that you find it difficult to breath. Ugh!
So what to do? There is just one thing needed. We sure could use a basement dehumidifier or just a plain dehumidifier to keep the room conditions just right: not too dry and not too wet. I don't think they would cost too much electricity compared to clothes dryers, plus they are healthy too because they prevent the growth of molds and mildews, eliminate smells and helps ventilate a room through regular air circulation.
Hello Couchers! Welcome to the January 3rd edition of Tuesday Couch Potatoeswhere we post about a movie each week. This Tuesday, we will celebrate the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit by featuring Rabbit Movies, feature films with rabbits or bunnies or hares for characters. I know that you all have a favorite Rabbit Movie to share so I hope you will join us this week to join in the fun.
My pick will have to be The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, a Disney Classic released in 1977 that is inspired by A.A.Milne's whimsical stories and is the last film where the legendary Walt Disney had an involvement. Although Rabbit here is not the main character, I am picking it anyway as I always love the characters of the Hundred Acre Wood.
Rabbit is a responsible and clever rabbit. He is always practical and keeps his friends on their toes, although they sometimes raise his ire unintentionally. I always find Rabbit's character to be eccentric where his garden is concerned. He likes his garden and does whatever he can to protect it from other animals such as bugs and crows. He gets cross and grumpy when they try to steal his vegetables, especially carrots. In one episode, he even goes so far as to build a fortress around his garden, including a moat and booby traps. He also likes to take charge and come up with elaborate plans. Although his character can sometimes be antagonistic and reluctant to welcome newcomers, he learns to warm up to them in the end.
In one episode of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh he adopts a bluebird named Kessie that he rescued from a snowstorm. He also tries to avoid Pooh at Lunchtime, sometimes without success. In the first part of the movie, Pooh got stuck in the hole of Rabbit's Howse and Rabbit tried to make a decoration out of Pooh's bottom.
Here's the first of eight parts of the movie for you to enjoy:

Thank you Couchers for participating! Next week, our theme will be Would Love To Watch This Movie. Choose from a list of movies that you haven't seen yet that were released in 2010 or will be released in 2011 that you would like to watch badly and tell us why. Happy TCP Everyone!
In two weeks, we will be celebrating the 17th Sinulog celebration here in Germany. The Sto. Nino Group in particular is quite busy with the preparations as it will be attended by hundreds of Filipinos who have a devotion to the child Jesus. I am praying and hoping that our efforts will be blessed and that the affair will be an instrument for uniting the Filipinos here.
In all the humdrum and goings on, I felt the need to put up a website where we can officially post our photos, announcements, schedules, blogs, etc. I have even looked online and did a domain check to see if the domain name santoninostuttgart.com is still available and it still is! Now, all I need to do is look for a cheap webhost and my little website project will be up soon.
For all Filipinos who live in Germany, we cordially invite to this event which will take place on the 15th of January 2011 at Rottenburg am Neckar,Seebronner Strasse, Rottenburg, Germany. It will begin with a mass at 9:00AM at the Cathedral, followed by a procession back to the function hall and then a programme that will last till 11:00PM. We hope to see you all there!
I was browsing through my online web albums a few months ago when I saw my mini-reunion photos of me and my friends from grade school. It has been more than ten years since we last saw one another and it was really nice to see them again after a very long time. A number of us were already married and are successful in our careers. One friend, whom I am very close to, is now a nurse and she jokingly told me that she fulfilled my dream of becoming a nurse.
Oh yes, when I was in grade school, I have always wanted to become a nurse. I have always dreamed of sporting those white medical uniforms and white cap that nurses would usually wear. I always think so highly of them, maybe because my mom's cousin who is close to me is a nurse and I just love the scrub tops that she wears. Maybe it's also because they were the ones who really took special care of me when I was confined at the hospital for almost two months because of a car accident. I was eight years old then and it wasn't until I was about to go to high school did I need to give up on that dream because of financial constraints and because I had to get used to the fact that when I reach college, I would need to pursue a science and technology course due to my scholarship contract. Too bad huh?
But I was still happy because I still got the chance to wear lab coats back in high school. While we were studying different microorganisms under the microscope, dissecting a frog, performing different chemical reactions, doing experiments, I fancied myself working at a hospital, maybe in one of the laboratories analysing samples or tending and doing my rounds.
Yes, I once wanted to become a nurse. Although that did not become a reality, I am still able to play the role of a nurse when my husband and my little girl are sick.
