My Rocking Cradle

The Merlion, as the national symbol of Singapore, is the most visible tourist attraction. Who goes to Singapore without a picture with the Merlion statue in Merlion park? The first time hubby went to Singapore – we weren’t married yet – he already got this plate as a souvenir: Of course, it prominently displays the [...]

The first time hubby went to Dubai a few years ago, he brought home shells he picked up along the Palm Jumeirah artificial shore. They were accommodated on a villa in Palm Jumeirah during their short business trip there. Despite his busy schedule whenever he is on a business trip, he seldom misses hitting the [...]

Hubby is currently in Riyadh. He has been going back and forth to the Middle East for several months now. As he always does, he brings home tokens for our collection. He prefers metal plates but if he doesn’t find any, he settles for something that would aptly symbolize the place. This miniature camel was actually a [...]

As I was browsing the net for our itinerary when we land in Singapore less than a month from now, I found out that we have timed our vacation for the Great Singapore Sale! Don’t you just love the coincidence? The Great Singapore Sale started last May 27 and will last until July 24. Singapore, [...]

Having lived here in Seoul for more than 5 years now, I can only grab this chance to post this feature from CNN. The feature lists 50 reasons why Seoul is the greatest city.

Hubby brought them home from his stay in The JW Mariott Hotel in Jakarta. Most sewing kit from a hotel toiletry set is sealed [...]

I missed the Trick Art Museum in Jeju. It was a conscious decision for hubby and I not to go there as we thought the kids will not enjoy it anyway. We were right! But I did catch the exhibit here in Seoul last Saturday. The Trick Art Exhibit had been ongoing since March 25, 2011 [...]

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 [...]

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.
