A Day of Living in Shanghai
We’ve been searching for electronic stores in Shanghai and there are a lot actually but we have not seen a big one until we saw Metro City some weeks ago. We promised to go back there and so we did.
Last Sunday, Marcus and I went back to that electronic market to buy me an iPhone [...]
Blogxi is Blocked!
I learned about it yesterday. I tried to load Blogxi because I wanted to start my German blog but my browser gave me an error page. I immediately got suspicions but I still gave it a reasonable doubt. I told myself, maybe it’s just because my webhost is down for maintenance or something. [...]
Having a Baby
I don’t know if you’ve heard the news about hundreds of babies in China dying because of consuming a certain milk formula. This news really shook me and made me think again about having a baby while we are here. Initially, we agreed to wait two years after our wedding for a baby and that [...]
A Hot Pot Day
I was badly craving for steamed rice that day. Marcus knows that if I don’t get steamed rice in more than two days, I get grumpy. So that one particular day we agreed to walk around the neighborhood to look for a restaurant that serves steamed rice because there’s no way I am going to [...]
Moon Cakes!
I found this on our table when I got home yesterday. It’s a moon cake and a short story about the Chinese Moon Festival. If I find the time, I might summarize the story for you because it is interesting. I remember when I was teaching, I got moon cakes enough to feed me until [...]
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 [...]
Welcome Me Back!
I am back but I am still not in the “blogging all day” mode. This is just a quick post to let MyPinkNotes.com readers that I am alive and I have so much to tell.
My “coming back” doesn’t mean Ruthi is going away so there’s no need for Ruthi’s fans to worry because you’ll [...]
Remember When the Earth Moved?
My sister and I were talking yesterday and she was asking me if we were affected by the recent earthquake here in China. Fortunately, we are very far from the center so we are safe. The recent earthquake left almost 15,000 (and counting) people dead and the survivors are now forced to stay outside their [...]
Happy Labor’s Day!
Happy Labor’s Day everyone! I think it is an international holiday and we are not supposed to work today.
I remember back in the Philippines, beaches are always crowded during the first three days of May. Families flock to the beach to celebrate the Feast of the Sea (Pista’y Dayat) and Labor Day. It’s a time [...]
Quick News
Oh my, it looks like the chance of Marcus getting a job in Shanghai is not so slim like we thought it was!
He got a job offer and now he is waiting for the draft of the contract. After some negotiations, we will then head to Shanghai and we will stay there for two years!
That’s [...]
