Why was I smiling here? Apart from spending a week with my husband, I got to engage in every woman's favorite past-time - SHOPPING!
Nothing beats shopping in the outlet stores (oops unless you are in Greenhills, Philippines where you get knockoff bags/shirts or in the markets of Korea where you get fashionable clothes and trinkets). Shown here are outlet stores in Silverthorne, Colorado. |

|  | A Red Letter Day
Jan 26, 2008 was a red letter for me and my sweetie. It was also the first time I met my inlaws and his bestfriend. I was nervous but they were friendly and accommodating.
Church : San Agustin
Reception: Jumbo Kingdom
On my wedding day, I got by with a little help from my friends. Thank you. Who needs a wedding coordinator when everybody pitched in with the registration and the programme?
My sweetie looked handsome in his barong!

| | In Memory of the Fall of Bataan On April 9, 1942, Bataan, the last bastion of Philippine Independence, fell into the hands of Japanese invaders.
Death March was a trek of close to 80,000 American and Filipino prisoners of war that began in Mariveles Bataan through San Fernando Pampanga.
Visit the exhibit "War of our Fathers" at the 2/F of Mall of Asia from April 3-14, 2007 and remember with gratitude the sacrifices of our freedom fighters. See more pictures on my Manila travelogue or visit my Corregidor page. |
Travel (Mis) Adventures "How do I get to (pointing to a map)?" I learned the art of sign language while navigating the subway maze of Seoul, Korea. Well, now I know that Koreans were a helpful bunch. "Watch out!" Nevermind if I did a hopscotch to avoid the countless motorbikes of Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam so long as I can slurp pho in Benh Than night market. "Cinderella and her Broken Slipper" Despite the broken sandals and the tourist guide scolding me for not speaking in Mandarin, I took pleasure walking the cobbled stone streets of Macau. I had the same Cinderella experience one rainy afternoon enroute to Shenzhen. Rubber bands for my hair came in handy to serve as sandal straps. That was Mentos creativity. ;-) "Do you speak English?" A Thai taxi driver cupped his ears and politely told us to get off his taxi when we said "MandaRIN Hotel" in more than the allowed decibel. Apparently, Thais lose face when someone raises his voice on them. Oops, sorry. |

My Interests: Architectural Tours, Festivals A historical buff shouldn't miss Beijing, China. Imagine constructing the numerous pavilions of Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven without a single nail. Imagine how many lives were lost and state coffers depleted in constructing the Great Wall. GRANDIOSE, IMPERIAL, LAVISH! Petronas Towers is like a glittering pair of TIN CANS dominating Kuala Lumpur's night skyline ! I've never seen so many Buddhas, pagodas and chedis as the ones I saw in Thailand's Ayuttaya. It's always a wonder how different religions celebrate life, love, good harvest, good fortune! I always check out the events/festival calendar before visiting a place. A burst of COLORS and deafening DRUM beats! Mid Autumn Lantern Festival in Hongkong (Sept or Oct) Lotus Lantern Parade in Seoul, Korea on the eve of Buddha's Bday (last week of Aprill or 1st week of May) Pahiyas in Lucban, Quezon Province, Philippines (May) Deepavali in Singapore |

Hi Jing! Congrats sa wedding mo. Si Abdul din he wore a pinya barong during our wedding. So, Denver for good or visit lang? OO lapit na akong maging mommy in 2 months time. I do hope and pray magkaroon ka narin at the soonest possible time :-) Regards! |
