Time difference between Switzerland and Philippines is now 6 hours. Yesterday, Sunday, March 26, 2006 at 2am, the time was no longer 2am but already 3am, daylight saving time. Before that, the time difference between Philippines and Switzerland was 7 hours.
Spring season in Switzerland officially started on March 21, 2006. Soon enough, the trees will have its leaves and flowers, the leaves will turn to green and the flowers will begin to bloom.
I wanted to write about some issues in the Philippines, about friendship, about blogs, about this and that, but I thought that I might just ramble so I decided not to. Maybe I’ll write about it next time or maybe not at all. I decided to post these pictures instead.
I wanted to post these lovely red roses anyway, ever since I got them, but on the day that I received them, it snowed quite heavily here in Weggis, so instead of posting the pictures of these red roses, I opted to post the pictures I took when it was snowing. You’ll find those pictures in my previous entries, Snow kept falling on my head… and Weggis in Winter… Heavy Snow in March…. It rarely happened that I was out there late at night and it snowed like that.
I just got some good news. Bugang was nominated as one of the Philippines’ 9 Best New Tourist Destinations. So I updated Pandan.gov.ph right away, the Official Website of the Municipality of Pandan, Antique, Philippines. This article can be redistributed so I just copied and pasted parts of the article here. I will post this too at Friendster, Hi5, Yahoo Groups, among others.
