My Rocking Cradle

Do you just throw away your flowers as soon as you see them wilting away?
I’m quite sentimental so I don’t. Of the few bouquets I received I usually allow them to dry up. In fact, the best way to preserve the flowers is to hang them upside down. When the flowers have completely dried up, [...]

Staying in the Philippines for 6 months made us accummulate things to bring back to Seoul. And ahhhh… lots of things. Imagine having Little Dynamo’s birthday there, the Christmas holidays, Baby Dynamo’s baptism - that means, GIFTS! But I still had to leave a lot of toys behind.
Looking at our things back in the Philippines [...]

A two-bedroom condominium unit is available for rent this coming August 2010 in Quezon City, Philippines. The tower is located along N. Domingo Street and Balete Drive. It is ideal for expats, small families and young professionals. It has the best of location within New Manila and is very accessible to the best schools, churches and [...]

I hope Mar Roxas wins. He can provide balance and professionalism to Noynoy Aquino whose ascent to the presidency was maneuvered by the powerful emotional appeal based on his widely-perceived goodness just because he is an Aquino.
Just like the great statesman Doy Laurel who gave in to Cory Aquino in 1986, Mar Roxas gave in to the Aquino [...]

Flea markets are weekly sights in some of the apartment complexes around Seoul. They usually set up their tents in the parking lot left vacant for the scheduled time to accommodate them. This particular flea market was in Tae Young Apartments in Mapo-gu last week.

Noticeably, they are well-organized as the tents are set-up in almost the same way in [...]

Do you know that the digestive system of babies are ready to accept solids at 17 weeks old? Little Dynamo had his first taste of mashed banana mixed with breastmilk at that age. He was ready to take in food and there was no stopping us from then on.
Baby Dynamo is different. I had to delay [...]

One of our family time is doing the weekly grocery together. Since the opening of Lotte Mart in Lotte Castle which connects to the Gongdeok Station in Mapo-gu last year, we have been doing our grocery here. Not only is it near, it gives us the convenience that other Lotte Supermarkets cannot. It delivers our grocery for free. [...]

When you become a mommy in Korea, you don’t expect any helper around unless you’re financially blessed. Lucky are those who live with their in-laws (in terms of having free baby-sitters). But in so far as looking into the lives of ordinary Korean moms (whose circle I am happily friends with), these “ajummas” have to [...]

Hubby usually gives Little Dynamo his night time bath. Tonight he didn’t have a chance to.
Little Dynamo was out of the house since 10:30am. I brought him to the playroom and he stayed there with the songsaengnim until noontime. We had lunch in one of the restaurants around our place and brought him back again [...]

I brought Baby Dynamo to the pediatrician more than a week ago for his vaccine. The doctor did his routine check-up… checked the chest, back, eyes, nose, ears. And he declared: “Your son has otitis media, ear infection. But don’t worry, it’s just mild. We need to give him antibiotics for two days. Please come [...]
