My Rocking Cradle

There used to be only 1 toddler who loved to get into his daddy’s Samsonite luggage whenever we do the usual preparation for my husband’s business trip. Now there are 2:  It’s double the fun and double the delay. But of course, we wouldn’t want it any other way… Happy weekend!

The first time I heard about jute rugs my interest immediately shifted to it rather than the conventional floor carpets. For one, it is eco-friendly as jute does not need any pesticides or fertilizers to grow. This natural fiber is strong and under the hands of expert artisans it can be made into beautifully-handcrafted jute rugs which can be used [...]

A friend was very eager to let me taste “dakbal”. It is a spicy chicken feet Korean dish, a very good complement with cold beer. By the way, chicken feet are rich in collagen so it is good for the skin. Make sure that you eat lots of chicken feet… while drinking beer. LOL. It will [...]

I once attended a masquerade-themed Christmas party. I didn’t have the chance to choose my own mask as the organizers took it upon themselves to provide us with our masks. It was good enough but wait till you see these venetian masquerade masks.  These handmade masks are not just masks. I would love to hang [...]

I like Mad for Garlic. The restaurant is very classy and the food is yummy. When a friend offered her Mad for Garlic free pizza coupon, I immediately got it and mentally scheduled a lunch date. The lunch date was set. There we were – American, Korean and Filipino mommies - with our respective strollers walking towards the [...]

The hospital isn’t exactly anyone’s favorite place to go to but people who go there do so out of necessity rather than choice. The white uniforms that medical professionals wear from nurses to office staff to doctors are supposed to calm our senses and our nerves. White is calming, after all. But wouldn’t it be [...]

Hubby’s birthday is coming up soon. I want to give him a party but he doesn’t like to have a big fuss on his birthday. If we are in the Philippines, I am likely contacting family and friends this early for a surprise birthday bash. I love that! But, far away from home, what do I give [...]

Have you ever used your smart phone for shopping here in Seoul? I just did and I went home smiling. Hubby gifted me with Shinsegae gift checks (**wink**) last February 14.  When a girl friend learned about it, she was so excited to accompany me and she showed me how to use her Smartphone for [...]

The Incheon International Airport is one of the best, if not the best, airport in the world. Well, it has won the Best Airport Award (Best Overall) for 6 consecutive years now. It is very clean and there are so many ground crews servicing the passengers be it in the boutiques, restaurants, toilets, shower rooms, [...]

My personal preference for tables is made of wood, particularly red wood. I just love it. But aside from the aesthetics, I would love for it to be functional, too. I have two boys so they better be functional and sturdy. I love browsing the Accent Tables Boutique.com for these very types of tables. I [...]
