Winter is coming. Well, in some parts of the world. In the Philippines, “winter” is an imaginary season we love to celebrate by putting up fake evergreen conifers in houses and Christmas-partying in unbefitting boots and scarves with the song White Christmas playing in the background.

Mambukal Resort, Murcia, Negros Occidental: Two Months And Seven Falls On The Way
Mother’s Day, and it feels good to be unexpectedly “home”. While we celebrate the family’s rare togetherness over a more-than-the-ordinary lunch, I am reminded of my early expectant months three years ago and the adventures my hubby and I purposely got into — to take my mind of our unplanned pregnancy. Back then we were…
Snapshot Saturday: Bantayan The Beautiful
Serene stretch of pearly white beach. View from Sta. Fe Beach Club, Bantayan Island (Cebu, Philippines). Today’s glum weather in Sydney made us long for anything tropical. We’re on the 60th day of our homelessness and currently battling a visa matter. Once we’ve surpassed that, we’re off to our next destination! TweetShare This page was…
