{Frankfurt, Germany - January 2012}Bridges around Europe are weighed down by numerous padlocks being placed by couples who engrave their names on a padlock, swear eternal love for each other and throw the keys on the river. Not sure why they do it but the fad is said to be inspired by a novel entitled "I Want You". I first encountered these locks on the bridge when I was in Florence, Italy. Was

{Eiffel Tower - Paris, France - January 2012}If there was one word I would describe Paris as it would be "dreamy". Maybe because it has been a long time dream to go and when I was finally there I always had to pinch myself to remind me that I was not dreaming. This is the view from the park near the Eiffel Tower. Even in the cold of winter, there is something magical when staring at the tower. I

{Blackheath Australia - April 2010}I miss reading books. Hopeful that one of these weekends I can curl up with a good book and just spend the afternoon in bed. Or better yet, by the beach with the waves crashing on the shore for musical scoring and an ice cold drink. Ahhhh that would be life:)One of these days...

{Singapore - October 2011}As beautiful as Singapore is, life here can get pretty lonely. When moments like this creep up on me, I tell myself of the goals I have set for the coming months. To remind myself of why I am here for and what I am working for.note to self:continue to be thankful... it's still a long road ahead...

I had the privilege of watching Liverpool's practice game here in SG. I admit, I do not care much for the team coz my favorite players do not belong to Liverpool (btw, its messi and ronaldhino). But I grabbed the chance nonetheless to witness such an event especially that the tickets were free.The atmosphere in the field was so high that I got caught up with everyone cheering. Apparently, there

{Costa de Leticia, Alegria Cebu Philippines - August 2010}If there is one thing I miss most about Cebu aside from my family, it is the easy access to beautiful beaches. Just about 2-3 hours away from the city, one can already enjoy the sun, sand and a view like this. Plus, it ain't that expensive. You can already get a room for 1800 php or about 50 sgd with aircon and wifi at that! So cheap lah!

{Swissotel The Stamford, Singapore - March 2011}I have never been a wine drinker. I am more of a hard drinks kinda girl. But lately, I have been exploring and experimenting on my choice of drinks and food. Why put being in Singapore to waste right?With so many delicious food choices I have tasted, I decided to put up a new site. One which is dedicated to all things relevant to FFFOOOODDD:) This

{Bintan, Indonesia - June 2011}Went for the first time to Bintan last weekend with my office mates. It was an all expense paid trip courtesy of my company. It was such a great experience being in a first class resort and not having to pay a dime for anything. We occupied a four room villa that had its own swimming pool and service buggies to go around the resort. I now know how the rich spend

{Melaka Maritime Museum, Melaka Malaysia - April 2011}Stepping into this galleon you are transported through time when trading was the "in" thing. You get to see and read about the history of Melaka under the Portuguese rule. Magellan and Cebu, Philippines are two things that popped out of the various literature that was on the boat. Apparently, Magellan is quite famous and Melaka has a famous

{Swissotel The Stamford, Singapore - Mar 2011}This dish I enjoyed. It reminded me of kinilaw. Yum! Kinilaw with ginamos. Yes, it did really taste like that on my mouth. Don't know exactly what is on that but I think it is: salmon, caviar, wasabi and something else I do not recognize. This was delish! I think I ate about three spoons of this after I tasted the various hors d'oeuvres. This was my

{Swissotel The Stamford, Singapore - March 2011} Foie gras (fat liver in French) - I've been reading so much on how good this is but I've never tasted it before. When the opportunity came, I of course took it head on even if I do not eat liver of any kind. All the raves I have been reading must mean something right? They say it goes well with champagne, which is just perfect coz I had one in my

{Cobbler's Beach, Sydney Australia}My cousin Delta, drove me around the other side of Sydney. Went across Harbour Bridge to places I now forgot. Hehe. Being in the passenger seat, I just tend to enjoy the view and not mind where we are going. Great big houses and views such as this one was such a sight to see that I tend to forget the details, like where we were. Hahaha. According to her, this

{Sydney Opera House, Sydney Australia - April 2010}Enjoying the breathtaking view of the Sydney Opera House from Bennelong Point at sunset. This is one of my favorite spots in Sydney. A park by the beach is just perfect. Just a few minutes walk from the busy city, you get to enjoy a tranquil park by the beach. Green grass, ocean air, great view, what more can you ask for?:)

{Cardinia Reservoir Park, Melbourne Australia}When I visited my Tita Bicbic in Melbourne, I had a super close encounter with the kangaroos. We visited this park just before dusk because that is the time when the kangaroos feed. And true enough, I saw about a dozen of them hopping around the vast land munching on grass. They couldn't care less about me taking their pictures. Some of them even

{Christ Church, Melaka Malaysia - April 2011}Enjoyed my first taste of holiday in SG. Headed to Melaka for the Holy week. Dubbed as one of UNESCO's heritage site, you definitely get a taste of a different culture. The place is quite small, you can get around their tourist spots in a day. But we stretched it to two since we did not want it to be an amazing race kind of a trip. We got a chance to

{Helipad, Swissotel The Stamford, Singapore - March 2011}Enjoyed wine and hors d'œuvres while overlooking this view of Singapore. It pays to know people from the top. You get to enjoy perks such as this one. It would have been better if this was a night shot. Unfortunately, we couldn't stay that long coz a helicopter was scheduled to land. Boohoo. But this was better than nothing.
