I am a wife-the wind beneath my husband's wings... A mother-the protective arm around my two dynamos. When I am not being a wife and a mother, I am the woman comfortably nestled in "My Rocking Cradle".
Bedtime. We were already on the bed.. lights off, ready to sleep. Suddenly, Little Dynamo: Mommy, what is “fallen asleep”? Me: When you see somebody sleeping, that person has fallen asleep. Little Dynamo: Mommy, what is “fallen in love”? — huh? What the…? What is he talking about? —- Me: Where did you hear [...]
Done with my Fall shopping for the kids last week. My Dynamos are ready to brave the cool weeks ahead. And I got their clothes for a bargain! Namdaemun is the place to be. Namdaemun is a haven for bargain hunters here in Seoul. This isn’t like Dongdaemun with millions of trendy clothes for the yuppies. [...]
Mother-in-law is back! She is back with a free round-trip ticket for Manila-Incheon-Manila courtesy of her modelling “career”. It is a good story to tell – to her friends, her grandchildren, her grandchildren’s children. It all started with a phone call from Jaz. She phoned me one day asking if my mother-in-law was still here in [...]

It’s Chuseok again next week – the holiday that wives of Korean nationals dread. LOL. It’s a story not mine to tell. Companies are generous at this time of the year. There are Chuseok gifts allotted for employees. Gifts are conveniently delivered to the houses. In fact, this is the season when the post office and [...]
It is not uncommon to see children sprawling around in bookstores here in Korea. I love it not just for the convenience it brings – Little Dynamo can sit there for eternity – but more on the love for books it inspires among children. This Kid’s Park is located at the Kyobo Bookstore in Times [...]
It’s amazing to see milestones after milestones of babies. I was particularly amazed at my Little Dynamo’s development. He was a very active baby with very fast physical, emotional and intellectual development. When I became pregnant with my Baby Dynamo, I promised myself never to make his older brother’s development a benchmark for his development. [...]
Exactly a year ago today, I was a helpless mom as I was waiting for my precious Little Dynamo to come out of the recovery room in Yonsei Severance Hospital. Today is the anniversary of my Little Dynamo’s laparascopic surgery to correct his VUR. Despite the emotional misery we had to go through, Hubby and [...]
How much is the Goldilocks Polvoron (assorted flavor, 30 pieces) in the Philippines? This one is KRW12,000. The price I have to pay for craving a Philippine product:-).
