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.

Our Panama journey

Zen mode for teacher Papa who has the  seat  all for himself. The plane landed before 7h at Tocumen Airport . The drive to Casco Viejo took about an hour due to traffic. Check-in time was 14h and we arrived early. The solution was to just hang around town and have breakfast. The plane's omelette and pancake didn’t last long.                                        We all agreed that Casco Viejo is a lovely place. Ruins and renovation go hand in hand. A bit expensive for a family of four on a budget (U.S. dollar is the currency used here). Though parents could not help but gave in to the 2 mojitos + 1 free during the happy hour. We skipped buying a new hat for Erin to replace the one of Lola’s now battered and holed. She didn’t want to throw it at first but eventually did so and kept the ribbon for souvenir.  After  3 ci...

Muito obrigado, Brésil!

 une œuvre d'art de Carybé Le 9 août nous sommes allés en ville. On est allé au centre culturel avec un Uber .  Après on est allé dans une cathédrale et on est allé faire des courses. On a mangé dans un buffet au Mercato Central de Fortaleza . Ici on choisi ce qu'on veut et on le pèse,après on paye. J'ai aussi vu quelqu’un qui te gravait le prénom sur un bout de bois sur un bracelet :)       Le soir  on est allé à Crocobeach ,il y avait des grosse vagues. On a mangé là-bas, moi, j`ai pris des nuggets et une purée de patate. C`était très bon !!!! miam. Pendant qu'on mangeait il y avait un groupe de musiciens, il y avait de l'ambiance et mon père a essayé de danser . Le départ pour Panama était à 1h25 du matin , après j'étais très fatiguée. Karen

Está tudo bem

Went out before 8h30, when the sun was still mild. We’d like to see the small basin created when there’s low tide, I was hoping to take lots of pictures. Unfortunately, the current was so strong and the basin was nowhere in sight. I could see the gray clouds forming at the horizon. The sun was out and for our last day in Fortaleza we let the waves carried us. Then it rained. Running to cover our belongings, I turned as the rest of the family came out of the water , I thought of our laundry hanging and drying.Perhaps it was the rain ,the expanse of the beach or maybe the memory it brought when I was a child, playing with my siblings and cousins, enjoying the rain. I laid down, sand on my back, letting the rain bathe me . I felt a sudden serenity , why should I worry about my laundry to the point of forgetting the moment. I kissed my husband and danced with my girls, laughing, allowing the rain soaked us. It felt good, being at the moment. COMMENTS ...
