Closer Than Ever

Being away from home for more than a year, I can say that I don’t really miss home. Don’t get me wrong. I kinda miss home but I have a different explanation for that. You see, when I was still in the Philippines, I was practically home alone. Both of my parents already passed away […]

Team Building Mission

Marcus will be away on a company outing on Friday and Saturday and unfortunately, they cannot bring their wives with them (haha). I asked what the outing is all about and he told me that their management is promoting team work and camaraderie among the employees so they organized this event.
I think it’s cool whenever […]

Garden No More

It’s been a while since I last went out in the garden. I was busy all summer blogging, organizing, and scrapbooking. Last year was different. I just arrived from the Philippines and the first thing that Hubby and I did was to go shopping for vegetable seeds for his garden. We had ample supplies of […]

No-Worries Hubby

A Guilt-less Wife

One of the beauties of being a stay-at-home wife is that… you are in control of your own situation. I mean, I can go back to bed anytime I want to [right after Hubby left for work]. The chores can always wait until I am ready to take control. And I can savor the peace […]

Call Time

Just like any other Pinoy, I owned a cell phone (CP) when I was still in the Philippines. But unlike any other Pinoy, I don’t like it that much. Actually, the first CP I bought was not for me but for my baby brother which I gave him as Christmas gift. The second CP I […]

The Unpredictable

The weather is really unpredictable. We cannot rely on the weather now if we are planning a cook-out, a garden wedding, an out-door birthday party, or simply… hanging out our laundry. It was indeed a crazy week. Just when you thought it will be a real nice day and have high hopes of planning to […]

The Olympics and All

For the first time since we got here, we had a difficulty hailing a taxi!
Last night we decided to eat out with some of Marcus’ colleagues. The initial time agreed upon was 7:00 pm but because it wasn’t easy to get a taxi, we called the other parties to let them know we’ll be late […]

New Flat’s Living Room

Initially, I wanted to take photos of every room of our new flat plus the surroundings because I wanted to upload it and show it here but I remember reading from the lessee’s guidelines that we are not supposed to take photos and videos of the property. So instead of taking pictures of every room […]

The Difference between People and Washers

Our washer is not doing its job well today. It makes a weird sound when I load my laundry. Hubby already fixed it the other day and bought a new belt [I think that’s what that thing was called] and replaced the old one. Well he suspected that the belt is the problem that’s why […]
