Au Revoir AD
Au Revoir AD means Goodbye Abu Dhabi! This is a short yet a heartfelt salute to the Emirates’ capital. I landed in Abu Dhabi,UAE on 25th September 2008, that’s around 9 years and 8 months.

Of course it helped my…

Visiting KALANGGAMAN Island (Leyte)
KALANGGAMAN island is one of the many beautiful islands the Philippines could offer. Visiting Kalanggaman is a treat to anyone who loves the sun and the beach! The island used to be a part of Bogo Cebu but after a while, Palompon Leyte claimed it based on the height/deepness comparing each other’s shore. This remote treasure didn’t just came out of nowhere, it has always been there. There may be quiet a few people who have started gushing around the prestine beauty of this island. In fact, I personally think this is such a secluded getaway for couples, friends and family as well. In this trip, I went there…

What’s in my heart ♥ . . . on Christmas 2017
Popping in this very day of Christmas and decided to write a short blog post of what is in my heart ♥, this Christmas season! So, it’s exactly 1 year since I wrote this blog post and yes it’s been one year since I’ve been a stay-at-home wife. When I look back, it feels like only yesterday that I bid goodbye to NDC, visited home for surprise vacation, back to Abu Dhabi again and tried my luck for a new job. There was scarcity, I couldn’t believe that in 4-5 months I only received a couple of calls that didn’t materialized. Then I delivered a talk for the HFL (Handmaids for…
