Box of Chocolates

My birthday is still three weeks away but I already got my birthday gift and I am really loving it. Although my husband told me that that should be it and that I should not expect more on my birthday, I just know that he will still do something special for me on that particular [...]

Home is Where the Heart Is

In one of my interviews, I was once asked if I am having a difficulty moving from one place to another, if I hate it, or if I hope that it ends soon.
You see, I do hate moving and that means packing, transporting and unpacking things. I think I moved from one place to another [...]

A Present for Me

I got my birthday gift a month earlier! We went out last Sunday to shop for my gift. My husband bought me an iPhone for my birthday and since my birthday is still a month from now, he told me that I am not to use my iPhone yet until that day but I am [...]

A House that is Built for You

Once, I asked my husband why did he choose to continue working abroad when in fact, life standard in Austria is much better. He said it’s because he wanted to be able to buy our own house when we finally settle in Austria. He doesn’t like to be paying a monthly mortgage so he is [...]

Our Simple Anniversary

We celebrated our one year of being married together on a plane. Yep. I was so angry at Marcus when he unthinkingly booked our flights from Vienna to Shanghai on the evening of October 12 (GMT +1:00) so technically we were on air when October 13 happened.

Why Did You Marry Me?

One Sunday morning while stuffing ourselves with Bretzel and Weißwurst dipped in sweet mustard, I asked Marcus a question just so there’s something to talk about other than how lucky we are to be able to get a Bretzel and Weißwurst in China.
Vienna: Schatzi, Why did you marry me?
Marcus: Because I thought you were rich?

Avoid Wedding Dress Disaster

My friend, Mary, and I were chatting last night and she mentioned that she just got married. I couldn’t believe my ears! I know she has a boyfriend but I wasn’t expecting that they’d get married that soon. She sounded so happy all throughout our voice chat and I can tell that she’s still in [...]

Home Alone

It’s utterly boring here. Marcus is away in a business trip for a week or two and it sucks. The longest time we haven´t seen each other since we were married was I think 10 days. That was when I went home to the Philippines earlier than him so I can spend longer time with [...]
