Growing Friendship
In four week’s time, my German lesson will be over and there will be a long break before the next course will start. I am please that not only my German is improving; my social life seems to be getting better as well. Earlier in my study of German, I was somewhat distant to my […]
Evening Sight-Seeing
The Shanghai Financial Trade Center, world’s current second tallest building, officially opened its doors to the public sometime in August. This building is next to Jin Mao Tower, another skyscraper. According to rumors, the opening on top of the Shanghai Financial Trade Center building was originally planned to be a circle but because it would […]
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 […]
Inferiority Complex Attack
Emily, one of my Irish friends I mentioned in my earlier post, decided to stay in Shanghai to live with her boyfriend. I consider them friends because we spent a lot of time together in the last few weeks and Emily’s boyfriend is a colleague and friend of my husband. Emily’s sister Tina already went […]
Dressing Up for Autumn

A Smooth Move
After two months of being in Shanghai, I can say that we are finally settled. We found a nice flat and decorated it. We learned how to go about the city. We learned how to go to places. We learned how to use the Subway. In short, we already developed our routines and now 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 […]

And there are a lot of companies such as Apex Payday Loan that specialize in fast online services for payday loans for those special times when you need a quick cash.

Busy Bee
Marcus is back from his two-week business trip in Shenyang. That explains why my blogging and other internet activities are lessened since Friday. I honestly missed him when he was away but I was glad that I had two weeks of undisturbed internet usage.
We initially planned to fly to Hong Kong this weekend […]
