Meeting the Marces in MOA

One of the main reasons why I convinced my hubby to fly via KL-Clark then NAIA Manila-Butuan is because I wanted to meet my marces in person! If I want to see them, this is the only way! We’re already late but that can’t stop me from seeing them (that if they’re available). I’m not…

Hello, Philippines!

Taking a step to your beloved country after almost 3 years was heavenly though the scorching sun welcomed us with all its might…LOL! Our joy wasn’t complete yet coz we’re still half way to HOME. We lived in Mindanao and we’re still 2-hour-by-plane away. We arrived in Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) in Clark field,…

Keeping ourselves sane in Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT)

Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) was specifically built at KL International Airport to cater to the growing passengers of the low cost airlines, especially the passengers of Malaysia’s “no-frills” airline, AirAsia. This is the reason why there’s no transfer facility that takes us passengers to the arrival area. We have to walk about half-a-kilometer !…

Up

It was my Hyzyd‘s first ride on plane. I’m relieved that it isn’t as bad as I expected. Flight from Hatyai-Kuala Lumpur is only less than 2 hours and Hyzyd just sat on my lap all that time. He enjoyed watching the clouds through the window. We played “What animal is that?” by pointing on…

in Hat Yai City Airport

photo from http://www.sophiaportal.com We arrived in Hat Yai Airport around 9:30 am and it’s raining cats and dogs! I fervently prayed that it will cease…no flight delays will happen nor flight cancellation though our next flight will happen after 17 hours! As I blogged HERE we almost missed our flights because of several issues that…

From Hatyai-Kuala Lumpur

Our flight on this day is scheduled at 12:15 PM but I see to it that the taxi I booked from Sisters Tour will pick us up around 9:00 am. We need to check in earlier and we need Hyzyd to be at his best mood before taking his first flight. God knows how much…

Postcard Perfect: Golden Mermaid, Songkhla, Thailand

The most well-known symbol of Songkhla Province is this image of the Golden Mermaid at Laem Samila. It is similar to The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen, however, this Thai one is not a character from the book of the same name by Hans Christian Andersen. The Golden Mermaid is in fact a character from Phra…

First time

One thing that excites me once I get home is to see my two-month old nephew. I wasn’t able to send baby congratulation gifts like bouquets, plants, gift baskets, cake, and chocolates delivered from Thailand but I’m bringing him something cute to wear. I hope it would fit him well. You’ll see it after I…

Picture Perfect: Hyzyd and Summer

This photo was taken by my co-teacher using Canon 550D. The models are my son, Hyzyd, and my co-teacher’s daughter named Summer. I love how they get along well. The scenery looks so homey. It reminds me of our home back in Philippines. This photo is indeed a

Presents from Thailand

I’m not yet thoroughly done with packing especially the “pasalubong” . Pasalubong is a Tagalog word which if translated in the American English language would be “keepsake” or “presents”. It is a souvenir brought for loved ones or friends. As much as I want to bring a bundle of gifts, I just can’t for limited…

Wireless Cellular Booster

Since we lost our roaming sim, we send SMS to my family through Chikka.com. There were times that my family won’t receive our SMS due to weak signal especially on rainy days. When this happens, it’s frustrating especially that there are important matters to be discussed and you need their immediate response. Trying to call…

Excited to meet my sisters again!

Yeheey!!! One more week to go and we’ll be in Philippines. I’m so excited to see again my sisters-my eight (8) sisters! The last time I saw them was three years ago during my wedding where all of the older ones wore bridesmaid dresses and the little ones wore flower girls dresses (except the one…

Postcard Perfect: Japan’s Himejijo Castle

I received this beautiful postcard from Sis Bambie , Anzu’s Mom. It’s Japan’s Himejijo Castle. Himejijo Castle is known as “Shirasagijo” (White Heron Castle) for its white plaster walls. It resembles a white heron spreading its wings. A small castle combining a mansion with a fort was constructed in the mid-14th century, and after a…

Postcard Perfect: Klonghae Floating Market

Klonghae Floating Market is a must-visit for many who travel to the bustling city of Hat Yai City in Southern Thailand. We lived in Hat Yai City but I didn’t know about this until I got friends whose school had a field trip and paid a visit to this tourist attraction. Hat Yai Klonghae Floating…

Picture Perfect: Ferrari

The Ferrari Club Thailand currently has 40 members, representing about 25 percent of all Ferrari owners in Thailand. That’s why I’ve never seen a real Ferrari in the city not until yesterday! When we spotted one at Novotel Hotel, I asked my hubby to pose with the Ferrari! It really looks like the Ferrari collection…
