How not to write the best travel tip

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...

To travel again

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

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 . Her voice would change and there was this excitement, that kilig about someone.  But I was trying to avoid it like a plague. 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. This didn't take long to answer, because one sunny afternoon while waiting for my laundry, I gave in. 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.

And we're HOME

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...
