Journeys: November 2011

http://chenniekershek.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

All hell breaks lose when it rains in Manila. The already congested traffic comes to a complete stand still. A plethora of taxis magically disappears into thin air as if the taxis were conspiring to gauge prices. For a foreigner that doesn’t know how to get around the city other than using taxis, you are at the mercy of the weather and the taxi drivers. 8220;Mam’m, I have a lot of customers to choose from, you pay more yes? 8221; He shamed me into silence. 8221; Upon arriving Manila, all of those doubts ...

Manila Pong!: July 2012

http://noodlingnoodles.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Experiencing, contemplating, and living in the Philippines as a foreigner. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. Manila rules my life, I concede. The peculiarities of being presided over by Manila and its culture make living in this city a wild, cultivating, and novel experience for a foreigner like me. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Journeys: January 2010

Since Angela’s stay with us, she’s booked us several massages to a place that’s close to our house. I had two massages and they were both good. However, if I had to choose between great wine and food versus massages, wine and food will always win. So, now that you know where I stand with massages, I will share my first massage of this trip with you…. 8221; I thought to myself. I thought they were not supposed to touch your back door! 8221; “He seems to enjoy his massage, is that good? As I have told you,...

Manila Pong!: October 2011

http://noodlingnoodles.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Experiencing, contemplating, and living in the Philippines as a foreigner. Monday, October 17, 2011. After lunch and spending time with family, I decided to take dad to a bookstore where we spent a couple of hours reading and browsing through books. I ended up with guides for Taipei and Taiwan, and dad ended up with tour books for Bangkok. Like father, like daughter? 4pm came around quickly after another walk down Dee-hua street. I left for Tao-Yuan airport on an air-conditioned bus for $3. I can...I oft...

After we came in to the house, she admired the flower that she put together through our family room window that faces the pool, then she said "beauty in one's in lifestyle is a creation, and it's not to be taken for granted.". Dear baby Ryan,. Baby Ryan, you were being a little baby last night but I saw the capacity and possibility of motherhood for me. My age old fear of not being a good enough mother was melted away by the peace that poured out of you. Your first 24 hours convinced me that I am...If yo...
