Chile has just been recently struck by an earthquake and now Hawaii is bracing for a huge tsunami. In the Philippines we’re preparing ourselves for water shortage and rotational blackouts (already happening in some areas) in the coming months.

Package from Grand Mercure Roxy courtesy of my in-laws who just got back. If you remember, I left some of my stuff at Grand Mercure Roxy and was working to find a way to get them back without spending a hefty sum on shipping. Good thing my in-laws included Singapore in their itinerary. With just 2 days notice, I immediately sent a request to Grand Mercure Roxy to have the items waiting for them at the hotel that they were going to stay at. And as a courtesy gesture, they didn’t even charge me for shipping fee. This happened thanks to technology, the efficiency of Jessie Heng and the rest of the staff at Grand Mercure Roxy, and my in-laws. I really appreciate it. This is one happy ending I’ll not forget.
