Crash Landing on You - How a Pinay in Geneva got the #CLOY fever

 It took me forever to watch Crash landing on You . My sister has been bugging me to watch it. Every time we talked in Messenger our conversation would mysteriously gear to #CLOY .

Knowing for sure that it will invade my whole being, my household, and my entire day, just like the  one where a woman cooks in the palace . So, what's the fuss about  this series , I asked myself.

Few minutes after starting the first episode, I almost fell asleep.   Some of this Kdrama's locations were set here in Switzerland . 📷: Norilyn Mendoza Iseltwald Charmilles' Seri & Capt.

I am not talking about being on time, having satisfying breakfast, and all but rather the changes and the possibilities ahead. As their mother, I lovingly embrace it now, not without the first day anxiety :) and welcome the fact that my babies are growing up and becoming more independent. No more brushing their hair into pigtails and braids. School snacks are not prepared anymore. Though this time, one wore my t-shirt and the other one my light jacket. Some years ago, when my youngest did not feel like going to school, I drew a heart on a piece of paper with a little note that says: I love you forever. I told her that though, Nanay cannot go to school with her, my heart is with her and hopefully, she'
