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. We’ve been through 3 major storms in 2009 and the victims of the latest typhoon Ondoy haven’t even gotten up on their feet yet. I’m afraid. I’m very afraid. Afraid most of all for my daughter whose future is so uncertain. I am afraid of the kind of world I’m going to leave her with.

It was noon when we got to Funan IT Mall. We were hungry and looking for a place to eat. So when we saw this food place packed with office workers lining up at the counter, my husband and I thought that if their food isn’t great, then it mustn’t be that bad right? The pic was taken an hour after the lunch hour rush.

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.

Chinese New Year has come and gone but I thought I’d show you Singapore’s Chinatown 3 weeks prior.
Instead of the lovely chinese building pictured above, my husband went right up to this stall to try out their shark’s fin dimsum.

Have you come across this? I must be the last person to hear about the Travel and Tour Expo happening this 19-21 at SMX Convention Center in Mall of Asia. I can only imagine the promos (tours, packages, air fare deals) up for grabs! This is one event I have to go to. Even without any help lugging my 6-month old in tow.
Yes, that’s us. Taken yesterday when I thought I was up to the challenge of going out by myself with Euna (not included in the pic is my huge bag filled with Euna’s stuff!). And I was! I am! I’d really appreciate having help though. I’m looking for a stay-out maid actually to come in 2x a week to clean, do the laundry (the delicate clothes), and the ironing. Drop me a line if you have someone to recommend. Please! I still have a lot of backposts to write!
