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 […]
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 […]
Traveling and Blogging Plans
We agreed that we had enough of Beijing so for the first weekend of April, we will go somewhere else. We only have a few months left to stay in China and there are other interesting nearby cities we have not seen yet. Like Dalian. I’ve heard it’s beautiful there so if there are […]
Just When You Thought…
Spring Festival, according to what I believe, marks the start of the spring season. This year’s Spring Festival is over two months ago. Since then the weather temperature is climbing up. We had over 10 degrees in the last few days!
But just when you thought spring is here and summer is not far away, this […]
