An early christmas party
Had a great time with some friends yesterday. It seemed that whenever we are together, our time isn't enough. We were planning our Christmas party but guess what happened. We have forgotten to set a time and a place to meet. LOL!I am looking forward...

No HK
So I went to our travel agency yesterday. Bad news for us. It is not possible to change our booking. I knew it before going there but I just took my chance.So I asked instead if we can have our ticket refunded and I will just buy a new one. It is pos...
All plans
We're planning to go to Hongkong this January. EJ would definitely love Disneyland. But we do have limited vacation time so I am not sure if we can swing by HK in our itinerary. Might not even be able to go on a side trip to Cebu city. But we'll see....
Flight delays
Last week so many domestic flights in the Philippines were delayed. It was not about the typhoon.My brother's flight from Surigao to Manila was delayed because of some engine trouble. They were already on board. A couple of minutes before they flew, ...

Blue boys
I have seen them around. But lately there seems to be a lot of them. Mostly in groups of three or four hanging about in the road intersections.I asked our driver why there are so many of them now. He said they were implenting the traffic rules. And o...
Certainty
The clock says it is 1:06AM. But sleep is evasive. I tried farming but I got bored. That's weird.So many things running through my mind. But I know one thing for sure.Death is inevitable.A fact, but hard to accept....
Nothing much
It's a holiday today. Fortunately, EJ has class. So hubby and I took advantage and had a date. We went to Russian Market and I bought a complete DVD series of Gilmore Girls. I used to watch this before and I love it. I also bought some shirts for EJ....
Ho Chi Minh, here we come!
I have a lot of time in my hands now but I can't seem to update my blogs. Farmville and farmtown are taking up most of my time now. I am really hooked. I am comforted to know that these farms games have an end. Now I am concentrating on finishing the...
In need of neighbors
I knew it. I should have pursued Agriculture when I had the chance. But the lure of the hotel industry is too much for me to resist. The glitz and glamour, the sophistication, the drama....but look where I ended up today. I am back to being a farmer....
Rain, rain
It was supposed to be rainy season when we arrived here last July. But the rain was few and scattered, until now.It's been raining almost everyday now, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon. I am not complaining. The farmers might be n...
Problem: stains
Our apartment rental here comes with a laundry service and a cleaning service. They pick up our laundry three times a week and they bring it back ironed already. And the cleaning ladies come three times a week as well. It is a big help to me.But I do...
Almost like home
I know why we feel at home immediately here in PP.Locals look like Filipinos. Or vice versa. I've been mistaken for a Khmer in the groceries several times.We watch The Filipino Channel (TFC). I was surprised to find out there's TFC here. When I found...
Swimming class
I enrolled EJ in a swimming class today. It's still in his school - Giving Tree Preschool. It's done every Tuesday and Thursday.He's not afraid of the pool but he's not a fan of it either. Back in KL, we rarely visit the pool in our building. And whe...
Would have been better
For our 10-day stay in Manila, EJ and I stayed at The Malayan Plaza in Ortigas. I love Ortigas and its accesibility. It's near EJ's pedia, our banks are there, two of our properties are near, it's near my brother's place and best of all Megamall and ...
Sick
We're flying back to KL tomorrow and I am worried. I have colds and I am worried that the airport officials might stop me from boarding the plane. I know it's silly. But I couldn't help it.I had a check up already and doctor said it's just a regular ...

In Manila for a few days
EJ and I arrived here in Manila yesterday. Our plane ride was okay. But there was a bad moment of turbulence. It made me think about death and all. Is it easier to die in a plane crash or suffer in some form of disease ie mesothelioma cancer? Morbi...
Signs
It seems everywhere I go lately, I take notice of the exit signs. No kidding! They seem to be calling my attention everytime.Of course I associate it with our impending departure from here. EJ and I are flying earlier than originally planned. It's ab...
