Beijing was a Tale of Two Cities

Visiting Beijing in 2008 was an opportunity to tell the world about the tale of two cities. The difference with the original Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities” was that Beijing was nothing like “it was the worst of times”. On the contrary, Beijing was at its “best of times” when I visited the country three weeks before the 2008 Olympics. It was a tale of two cities in a sense that Beijing will transport you back to the grandeur of the Forbidden... Basahin pa

33rd week

From My Rocking Cradle, 2 years ago, Read 0 times. Katulad na Artikulo

33 weeks today!!! Exercise was not forgotten but was not a priority since my Little Dynamo underwent his laparoscopic surgery to correct his VUR. Travel followed after… from Seoul to HK Disneyland to Manila to Iloilo to Guimaras, back to Manila and now we’re settled here in Cabanatuan… awaiting the arrival of the Baby Dynamo. I have had time to prepare for my own “ME” time. My needs are simple:-). Equipped with an exercise mat and a pair of dumb bells, my... Basahin pa

Revisiting Golden Fortune in Binondo

From My Rocking Cradle, 2 years ago, Read 23 times. Katulad na Artikulo

While Little Dynamo and I were still in Iloilo last Thursday, hubby already informed me that the in-laws were planning to bring us to dinner at Golden Fortune in Binondo. I mentioned in an old post that we used to go to this restaurant because of its shabu-shabu and dimsum offerings. We usually go there at 9pm, in time for the food discounts. Our flight schedule was perfect for the Thursday dinner. We left Iloilo at 6:15pm and arrived in Manila at 7:15pm. Driving towards Binondo in a convoy... Basahin pa

Trying Out Amici and Cara Mia at Greenhills

From My Rocking Cradle, 2 years ago, Read 10 times. Katulad na Artikulo

Last Saturday’s trip to SM Megall was a reminder to never go to any of Megamall’s Mega Sale again. It was irritatingly over-crowded. After the children’s playtime at Dave’s Funhouse, in-laws and I were eager to go out of Megamall for dinner. Sister-in-law’s restaurant choice was perfect! She introduced us to Amici, a pizza and pasta place in Greenhills. While waiting for our food, youngest brother-in-law and his wife eagerly told me that Amici used to be in Don... Basahin pa

Uncalled-for Angst of a Jealous Mom

From My Rocking Cradle, 2 years ago, Read 0 times. Katulad na Artikulo

Being far away from family and relatives, I had been so used to doing things my way and scheduling our own family time. My son’s playtime, playmates, hobbies and habits are mostly my discretion. Now that my son is of age to know what he wants and when he wants it, he takes pleasure in the attention he gets from family whom he knows adore him. He feels he can get away with anything and can take refuge from anyone against Mommy. So, our daily routine since vacation starts with good... Basahin pa

Receiving Mails

From My Rocking Cradle, 2 years ago, Read 0 times. Katulad na Artikulo

I grew up receiving mails personally. We didn’t have a mail box on our front gate so the post man would always personally hand any mail to me or to anyone who answers his call. When I started living in Manila and in a condominium, I started receiving mails and bills through the commercial mailboxes visibly and usually installed in the condomimium lobby. To this day, checking our mail box in our apartment in Seoul has become a daily habit. But nothing beats the romance in seeing classic... Basahin pa

If I am going to deliver exactly on my fortieth week, I have 9 weeks to go from today. Yes! I am on my 31st week today. And I don’t have an Ob-Gyn yet. LOL. If I am to deliver here in Iloilo, I have Dr. Pedro Manzala to turn to. He delivered my first son. But plans had been changed. I am to go back to Manila middle of next week with my Little Dynamo… settle a few things in New Manila for a few days (I haven’t touched some of our things since we got married, it’s high...

Inexpensive Pop-Up Books

From My Rocking Cradle, 2 years ago, Read 0 times. Katulad na Artikulo

I discovered theses pop-up books here in the Philippines last year: I bought several series (each series consists of 4 stories) last year and we brought them back to Seoul. The books served as his nap time and night time readings during his vacation. This year, I only brought 3 small books to entertain him before I had time to purchase new ones. I’m so happy to see that these Pop-Up books are still around and so I added more to his collection. The books became more interesting to him... Basahin pa

Alagang-Buntis Massage at Skinetics

From My Rocking Cradle, 2 years ago, Read 3 times. Katulad na Artikulo

The receptionist at the Skinetics Medical Day Spa and Skin Center had a hard time looking for my records when I called them for an appointment… I had to tell them I only go there once a year. If I’m luckier, it’s twice a year. LOL. I availed of the “Alagang-Buntis” package from Skinetics yesterday. It included the “alagang-buntis” massage, facial and foot spa. I loved the massage! I had a massage in Kuala Lumpur last July and the receptionist told me... Basahin pa

Korean beauty product invasion: I am not a fan nor a user. I haven’t bought any Skin Food product even in Seoul but it’s just interesting to see a familiar store in Seoul here in Iloilo. Basahin pa
