This is not a Berlin travel guide .   Though at first, I considered writing about tips on how to travel to Berlin with friends even toying with the idea of sharing my lessons learned on traveling with friends .  But as minutes ticked by, there were no good tips or lessons I could think of. Why? I then closed my eyes and typed whatever comes to my mind. Not thinking of typo errors just words pouring out and I happily typed them trying to make sense of everything.  So here I am filling up this page with words escaping from my mind that my fingers were trying to create. Right...So for the first time, we decided to fly out to a city and spend the weekend together. Our destination-- Berlin . There are evidently lessons learned but the experience is something to cherish and laugh about.  We were ready or so we thought. Hotel, plane tickets , itinerary , etc. But even though we organized ahead of time, things didn't go as planned. There were issues that will test one...

in front of Three Rondavels  Our travel album is now almost a year in the making. Maybe even 2 years. I have been keeping it off. Too many pictures to sort out. But it's a long overdue project like my duck house, passing my driver's permit,language lesson,writing and art class to name a few (more of those next time) and I do not want to carry them till 2021. There's a need for me to off load these unfinished projects because my shoulder is really bothering me--literally.  roaming free in India

somewhere in India It has been three days since the girls went back to school after two months of semi-lockdown. To prepare for that back to school, one late morning, I have started sewing face mask for them but unfortunately I have yet to manage my machine and the sizes of these masks. It's kinda frustrating that a simple task like sewing gives me headache, yes, I am not good at this. I should have listened more to my Practical Arts teacher in high school. So, they don't have any mask on when going to school. The re-opening of the school makes me anxious. I worry about my children but at the same time glad that they will see their friends again and perhaps they might feel the normality of life again. I thought that our lives might go back to normal again but what is normal now? Everything has changed and we are all going to adapt to the circumstances. I wish to stop worrying, given that it's almost half  of the year and now what? I am turning 50 and there are so ma...

December 2018 We arrived on the 20th of December in Manila from Bangkok and were excited to see my brother, Rolan, cousin, Pogi and some of my daughter's cousins at the airport to welcome us. It felt great to be back in my home country .  We have spent Christmas with the whole family and met most of our relatives during this festive time. My sister-in-law, Zem , who was supposed to spend Christmas with us, went back to Bangkok after spending a night with us due to her boyfriend's accident. JANUARY 2019 Instead of partying with a friend and her family,we opted staying in our town to spend New Year with our family. My parents were happy we were all together. My friend, Fibs came home as well and we went to Puerto Galera without my daughters. The girls started their schooling after New Year. They both didn't like having uniforms. But rule is rule and without exception. I usually wake up before 5h and prepare their p...
