Anywhere I go I hear Christmas songs. I see sidewalk vendors selling wreath and Christmas decors. I smell Glühwein (spiced hot wein) . Shopping malls are crowded than usual and people are busy buying presents for their loveones. Christmas time is here again.

Well, well, here I am again! This entry has been long due I know, but I was so busy during the last few days kaya ako nawala for a shortwhile sa madla ng blog.

I called my parents after 2 weeks para [...]
Dear Beng
Five months na ako dito sa Germany and I think it’s not unsual if I miss or craved for Filipino food. Hindi pa ako adjusted sa pagkain nila…kaya minsan niluluto ko ang gusto ko like Pinakbet, Bicol Express and sometimes Tuyo. Yon nga lang, I’m always in trouble with my husband after that [...]
When I arrived in Germany way back nineteen kupong-kupong hangang-hanga kaagad ako sa aking mga nakita. Buong paligid ay malinis at maayos, talagang masabi mo kaagad na everything is well-tended.

Dear Beng,
