My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Day 3 On Saturday, R and I just relaxed and hung out in the Makati area without venturing too far out. We didn’t really do anything of interest and thus  didn’t take many photos, but it was a good day to relax and to save up energy. Little did we know what the next day would bring…. [sthumbs=3674|3675|3676|3677|3678,max,3,y,center,] Day 4 The day started off reasonably easily as we headed to the airport to…

  • After a brief rest in the morning, I had originally planned to just do some exploring of the immediate area of Makati. However, when I requested a map from the front desk asking how to get to different parts of town, they suggested that I do a three-hour tour where I could see the highlights of Manila for about 56USD. So, I thought it was probably a better idea to spend the money…

  • I arrived last night in Manila and am staying in the Makati area of town. Since I arrived late, I do not yet have an pics to share, but my first impressions are as follows: *People are quite friendly, though not necessarily helpful *Crossing the street seems to be an act of taking your life into your hands or pure craziness – I haven’t yet attempted outside, but will soon and can report…

  • I am trying to continue to catch up on posts in my ‘draft’ box that I set aside to write on later while mixing in posts about my current life adventures. So, forgive me if I seem a little more random than usual. A while ago, I was catching up on the blogs/websites that I try to follow and came across this 8Asians article on Third Culture Asian-Americans. It was a perfect read for…

  • It has been too long since I last saw my BFF and so when I found out that my flight allowed for a layover in Japan and then we could head to Oregon together, there was no question about what I would do. The past few weeks have been filled with fun! Time in Japan:     Seattle Road Trip: Happy hour was a must and major pampering at Gene Juarez! On the…

  • As Abu Dhabi continues to try to build its rapport as a cultural and art center in the UAE and the world, they are bringing in more and more big name artists of varied genres. On May 6, 2011, I dragged my AD buddy to see Snoop Dogg at the Yas Arena. It was an experience to say the least. I think the pictures and videos can say it better than I can.…

  •   _10th Anniversary_ by James Patterson Vacation traveling means that I read easy-no-brainer books so that I can fall asleep or at least make the time pass quickly while waiting at an airport or on the plane (if I am not asleep by the time the plane takes off!). So, as I embarked on my summer adventures, I also started the most recent of the Women’s Murder Club series books by Patterson. I…

  • Just kidding – I mean it’s not that awful that I missed a day of writing. It just looks like a big black hole on my calendar, is all. 😉 Yesterday was a busy day with running some last-minute errands before the week ends and I am off on holidays. Plus, then I have to finish some paperwork (which I am avoiding by posting right now) and we went to the first Emirati…

  •   _Someone Knows My Name_ by Lawrence Hill A while back when I wasn’t sure what book to read next, my BFF suggested this title to me. So, I downloaded it and though I took a bit of time (for me anyway) to get through it, it was not from a lack of interest. 🙂 This story is written in a memoir-like style, though it is fiction, and follows the life of Aminata…
