Travel Plans on Hold
Some friends from Europe are coming to visit us sometime in late January or Early February. I am cool with that but the problem is, they have not decided yet on the exact dates. This keeps our plans to go to the Philippines on hold. If only they’d tell us when they’re coming, I can [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
A Letter to my Tutor
Dear Eun Hye,
Hello! How are you and Larry? I hope everything is fine with you guys.
Marcus and I are okay. We arrived in Shanghai on June 30th and we stayed in a hotel for three weeks. Now, we found an apartment in Pudong District and. The apartment is smaller than what we have in Changchun [...]
Checked Out
After 22 days of staying in a hotel, we were finally able to move in to our new flat!
I was so itching to move out of the hotel since there’s nothing I can do there. Sure, a lot of major pedestrian zones are easy to get to from the hotel but who wants to go [...]
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 [...]
Busy Buddy
I consider myself busy these last few days although I still managed to watch two movies yesterday. Yep, “the Pianist” and “Kolya”. Both are very touching movies specially “Kolya”, I cried over “Kolya” although I didn’t cried as much as when I watched “the Kite Runner”, because “Kolya” have some comedy in it so it [...]
