It's been almost a week since I came back from my exam - last week during this time I was writing the answers to those nerve wracking questions - my goodness! They were quite difficult and I did not have enough time to organize my thoughts - at the moment I am actually praying for some sort of miracle to pass the exams. The first was ok - there were still things I have forgotten to write but at least I knew what to write. The second was totally confusing and much more difficult. But oh well - let me throw that worry away. I have prayed and asked all my friends to pray for me as well in the meantime I would be sitting here, waiting for the results till end of September.
The good thing about the exam was - after it I had a chance to spend some time with my friend and finally see a bit of London - at least the main tourist attractions. I did not go to any museums, church, palace as I only have an afternoon. I did have some typical English lunch, afternoon tea and Indian curry ;O)
Here are some pictures my dear friend took. She has a super camera so I just let her do the picture taking.Behind us the famous millenium wheel - did you know this was supposed to be only for the year 2000 (that's why millenium) but it was such a big tourist hit that the city decided to keep it :) you can have a great view on top but I did not dare this time. Maybe next time? London is so near I hope to go back again (but no exams please!).
The Big Ben, our dear friend and former Pastor gave us a tour of London. He lives there now. It was nice to go around the city with a local - who needs a Lonely Planet guide book?
My friend and I on the millenium bridge, behind us St. Paul's Cathedral.
And of course the Buckingham Palace -
It was really a quick tour but we all had so much fun. The sun was also shining - unbelievable because it has been raining the whole time I was there.
Hi Friends and Visitors. Welcome to our blog. We hope you will enjoy viewing the pictures and reading some bits and pieces about our lives here. Feel free to leave a comment or even share your blog as well. In case you are wondering, what's with the name? Gluehwurm is the german word for fireflies or alitaptap for tagalog and Toni is fond of this tiny creature.

Me complaining
It's just another weekend where I stay in front of the computer and gather my thoughts, read through my notes and write my essay. It seems every end of the month or at least every 4th weekend, I am tied to my computer and have to write and think as much as I can. The rest of the month is spent thiking about the next one due in another 4 weeks, reading and preparing for it. It is really time consuming and also nerve wracking and I have observed that due to my studies I missed out on other things and also fail to do other tasks and chores ( I haven't sorted my summer to autumn clothes and it's already winter) . I have not read a book for a long time too because I just don't have the energy to read some more. I do hope it will all pay off in the end.
There are times when I just think why am I doing this? I am tired after work and don't have much interest to do other things. I watch too much television and I am always hungry (hmm does this count? yes probably to too much stress).
At least after this post we will see friends for dinner. Oh which reminds me I really haven't some friends for dinner since August. Wakey - wakey Toni.
