Love Lane, Penang
When we booked online on where to stay in Penang last month, I looked for a hotel or guesthouse within Love Lane street. Why in Love Lane?

Staying at home without air conditioner these days is very uncomfortable. Using fan isn’t enough to put away the hotness.

Ms Yingluck and her son Supasek Amornchat joined the…

How are you able to watch your downloaded video on your television? When we visited Philippines, my brother got lots of downloaded video on his portable HD.

Shop online wisely
Do you shop online? I do. I shopped for shoes, photobooks, silver and chamilia jewelry, office supplies and home accessories. Most of them, I bought them on discounted prices and free shipping.

Sugaring Off at Quebec
One of my hobbies is collecting postcards. It’s the reason why I joined postcrossing.com in the first place. It’s a site where we “send a postcard and receive a postcard back from a random person somewhere in the world!” It’s a cool experience being able to connect with other people somewhere in the world and…

I never thought that my younger sisters has all grown taller than me. My once skinny brothers grown with muscles and one even get bigger and fatter.

I thought that the internet cafes in our little town could save me in times I need to submit articles for my online tasks. I was wrong! Yesterday, when I tried for the first time to use internet for my online jobs, I was frustrated because the only two internet cafes in town were jampacked…
Address Plaques and Postal Box
A friend of mine asked me yesterday for our address because she wanted to send a little something for Hyzyd. After giving our address, she wondered if there will be any assurance that we’ll receive the gift because the address doesn’t have house number and name of the street. I’m confident that we’ll receive the…
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…

I hope it would fit him well. You’ll see it after I…
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.

Thanks to the body-conscious Thai ladies
Most of my co-teachers are fresh graduates, all young, pretty and sexy. Their presence posed an advantage to me. It makes me strive more to take effort in putting make-up, dress well and even improving my hair updos. I do exercise once in a while to get slimmer because among their crowd, it’s seems that…
on digicams and dlsr
I’ve noticed that lots of my co-teachers who have point and shoot digital cameras have upgraded to DLSR camera. This makes me ponder if it’s about time to have our own DLSR camera too.
