Singapore trip

You get excited for the word "vacation" when you are working abroad.  I had planned for a Cebu trip on a summer vacation and Riggi came along.  Manila is a full flight from April to May so I don't want to get offloaded again and waste my time in the airport.  So, we have decided to stop over Singapore and have a short trip.  It is my second time though but it was all worth it.

I came from two 12hours in a row morning shift and head straight to the airport for our 0230h flight to Singapore.  I was glad we have a confirmed ticket and booked our seats on line so it was not stressful.

  Then, see you at Singapore.... after 8 hours....

Singapore is a lovely place, it is so easy to roam around because people actually speaks English and the train is very accessible.  We didn't had a hard time locating places as long as you follow the track.

We met Riggi's cousin who is working in Singapore.  He invited us for a dinner at a cozy Japanese eat all you can buffet.  It was tasty and delish, a different kind of taste.  Thanks a lot Kuya for the treat!

Vivo City, Singapore!  It is too hot in Singapore.  So, it is better to wear light clothing especially when you are about to roam and stroll around the city.  This is one of the difference to compare with living in an Islamic country.  I have to be more careful in Dubai with my shorty attire and all.  In Asia, you wear what you want to wear.  haha!

Universal Studios, Singapore...  They offer more than 24 rides and attraction including a pair of dueling coasters which we did not ride.  I had a phobia of this when I went to ocean park Hong Kong 5 years back.  There are dinosaurs, mummies, ogres, robots that add to the excitement and adventures.  Laughter and screams are heard around every corner, and lasting memories are made around.


























It was a fun fun day for both of us, it's like being a kid or acting like one once again.  Although I was not feeling well in the middle of it, I had this ride and I thought it is just a merry go round kind of a ride but hell no!  I was not feeling well after that and Riggi bought me a slush lemonade.  After half an hour, I was feeling good. 

The best ride I had was the Transformers motion-simulator dark ride, with high definition 3D images and special effects.  It featured a storyline starring the heroic Autobots and villainous Decepticons.  I was screaming and shouting like anything.  It's like you are in the real fight in between the robots.

I was completely drained after full day of roaming, playing and screaming around the scenes.

All I can say is, "Singapore is sweeter the second time around."

xox,

TO GOD BE THE GLORY.

Peek-a-boo....pink or blue. A blessing from Heaven.

This is the most exhilarating post I’ve written so far, as today’s content is all about the baby in my tummy who is expected to arrive on April 2018.   Riggi and I are truly humbled by God’s continuous blessing. And just like that, we are pregnant!!   I had my first-born child 11 years ago; it’s been a while but mother’s instinct made me realize I am pregnant.   Early July I was feeling dizzy and sore.   I blamed it again on my hypotension but as the days passed by I knew it was something else.   I tried my best not to feel excited until I have the confirmation in front of me.   I did the home pregnancy test and it was positive.   I hid the result from Riggi as I had planned to reveal it to him as a surprise on his birthday by August.   Well, it did not turn out that way.   I just had to inform him because I need an ObGyn as soon as possible and I need Riggi’s help. We were having our normal dinner one Monday evening in July...

I am Home - My Beach Summer Wedding

Image
Not all weddings are the same but each has their own unique spin.   We know full well just how much love, hard work and caffeine-fuelled late nights go into a running-kind-of-planning a wedding just to make it as special as it is.   When it comes to our wedding, we had chosen to return to our hometown in Cebu.   Cebu is blessed with white sand beaches perfect for a beach summer wedding. “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” – Carl Jung Cliché as it sound but it is how I felt with my husband.    We often look for someone to complete us but in my experience, I found “my someone” when I stopped looking for one.    I had decided to turn my attention to myself – to get to know me better, to heal the past wounds and to develop a better me.    It was when that someone came along.   It has been over three months since we got married.    My husband and I are still over the clouds.   I know; I...

I said "YES" in Osaka, Japan.

As they said you'll get "lost in translation in Japan," I was lost for a moment.  I was lost for words and never even imagined that Osaka, Japan will be a memorable trip for me. In the morning of Friday the 13th May 2016, I was getting ready for a stroll to a high rise Umeda Sky Building.  I never would have imagined that my life would change in just one magical question. I noticed Riggi keeps on changing his mind whether to go on top of Umeda Sky Building or to go to the HEP five ferris wheel as we were both so scared of the height.  Little did I know he was weighing on where to make his plans come true.  He then decided for Umeda Sky Building as he saw a poster mentioning about the lovely wedding which was held on top.  It was his sign, I guess.  Sure, getting on one knee while holding a ring box sort of says it all.  BUT this is not always the case. Why Friday the 13th?  Funny as it seems but my boyfriend being his usual postive ...
