Filipino citizens residing in South Korea may have a Catholic Church wedding. The Hyewha Catholic Church in Hyehwa-dong is the most [...]

Yeah, November babies were conceived on Valentine month, February.
Hubby and I have 2 Valentine babies, beat that! One was born on the 1st day of November, the other was born on the last day! I know, extremes!
So, November is a busy month for our family. We just finished with the birthday celebrations! My Second-born had [...]

For moms in countries where a nanny is a rarity, I am sure we all have stories to share on how we cope up with household chores and taking care of our kids.
This is how I get things done:
Kids (usually my Firstborn has the say) choose whether they watch TV or play computer while Mommy [...]

Perhaps I have written about my husband’s travelling a number of times already. But each time I write about it, there is always something to tell because each time he leaves there is always a certain amount of loneliness that I find more and more difficult to conceal from my perceptive 4-year old boy.

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:

Have you ever used your smart phone for shopping here in Seoul? I just did and I went home smiling.

The reason:

Baby Dynamo was crying for his brother’s school bag. To put a stop to his waling, I also put on a little backpack for him.
Not yet, baby, not yet! Mommy’s going to be really [...]

Little Dynamo has his own batch for playmates here in Seoul. I’m glad my children do not lack this important part of their childhood. But what’s so special about Baby Dynamo’s friend in this picture?
 
For one, their mommies have been friends for 4 years already. We had been together almost everyday until last year when [...]

This is a good year of friendship.
I love our life here in Seoul and I love the people here in Seoul. For an expat wife like me whose attention and focus are on her children and husband, friends are a great bonus and they add spice to my life. It isn’t a boring life. Those [...]

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 me [...]
