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".
Mother-in-law was granted a one month stay here in Korea for her C4 visa courtesy of her “modelling career”. The visa was set to expire on the 18th. But due to hubby’s sudden (when was it ever not sudden?) business trip, we need her here at least until the 24th. Thanks to Jaz who sent [...]
I got my night time Han River cruise wish. The Yeouinaru port (Jinseong Port) is less than 10 minutes taxi ride from our place. We took the 7:30pm cruise and had the highlight of the one-hour cruise watching the light and water show at Banpo Bridge. The September 30 night time cruise we took was [...]
The number of times I went to Times Square in Yeongdeungpo , I had always been intrigued with the very conspicuous queue infront of the Louis Vuiton store. There are always people lining up to get inside. The LV store limits the number of shoppers inside the store that’s why the queue never disappears. Would I want to [...]
This greets you upon entering Seven Springs in Times Square: Happy Dining! In fairness, family restaurants here in Seoul live up to their being a family restaurant. Like VIPS, Seven Springs has a nursing room for breastfeeding moms. Moms like me also like the child-friendly atmosphere as we don’t receive nasty looks from any restaurant staff despite [...]
My father works with an airline company. His father worked with the same airline until he died. If I was taller and prettier, I would have tried working as a flight attendant with the same airline. My cousin, who is taller and prettier, had been working with that airline as an international flight attendant. I always thought about [...]
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 [...]
Little Dynamo and classmates were asked to bring Hanbok last Friday for their Korean etiquette class in preparation for their appreciation of the Cheusok celebration. Cute little things are they!
