Hotmail Hackers

I wrote about my Hotmail experience in an old post. It was a positive experience from the customer service of Windows Hotmail.
Recently, I received email letters from windows updates but with an email address(gloriarankin@hotmail.com) and (sisu74@hotmail.com). These were two separate emails sent on different dates. The letters have the same content warning users to update their [...]

Is your water safe?

I was already three months pregnant when I followed my husband here in Seoul in 2006 so our first concern was our drinking water supply. Before I came over, my husband just had to purchase bottled water. That wasn’t so expensive as he consumed minimal amount of water when at home. He was in the [...]

Moby Dick as a Lullaby?

 

 
There was a time last year when my Little Dynamo would say, “‘by Dick”. It means we were to go to bed and read “Moby Dick”.
My copy of “Moby Dick” is the one published by Dhingra Publishing House of Malaysia adapted for easy reading to children. I have not read the original novel. It actually [...]

Skin Problems?

Women have all sorts of concerns… who doesn’t? LOL… and the most visible cause of concern is the FACE. Lucky are those who didn’t go through the period of having pimples. Yikes, I did… grade 5, grade 6? Good thing I didn’t have to go through the acne problem. But for those who do, no [...]

Golf… in the Philippines and Korea

The television screen on the treadmill that I got into this evening displayed the SBS Golf Channel. The show’s title is Golf Academy.  A Korean Pro is teaching golf on television using the screen golf. Of course, I understand little of the Korean language but the terms used in golf are almost the same in Korean [...]

“Don’t kiss my eyes. I have tears.”

On the way home from dinner, we passed by the bank. While hubby was on the ATM, Little Dynamo took out his bonnet. Refusing to put it back, I pretended to throw it on the garbage can. He cried until hubby carried him. While on his daddy’s arms:
 Hubby: Why did you cry?
Little Dynamo: Mommy throw away [...]

Seodaemun Museum for the Second Time

After watching the 15-minutes 3D dinosaur movie at the Seodaemun Museum of Natural History more than a week ago, my toddler kept on asking me to watch the dinosaur movie again. I had to repeatedly tell him, we’ll go back there with Daddy. When hubby arrived from the business trip, Little Dynamo just had to tell him [...]

Would You Like to be a Child in South Korea?

A Korea Times article dated yesterday reads “Obama Lauds Korea’s Education for Children“. I clicked on another article… then… wahaaat? I clicked THE article again. 
Picture this: 7am in school, home by 9pm (lucky child) or home by 10pm (normal child) or home by 11pm (are you still a child?). For a normal competitive Korean family, the [...]

Can You Get More Tired Than This?

Even the Amazing Spiderman got very exhausted!

That’s our Little Dyamo on the floor and on the door adjoining our bedroom and dressing room. He was waiting for me while I was dressing up to have our Sunday afternoon coffee at the coffee shop on the ground floor of our apartment. When I looked down, he [...]
