A Filipina at heart, from the city of smiles in the sugarlandia of Central Philippines. I was born in the year of the tiger during the mermaide month.
A mother of two kids, our invaluable treasures, Colleen who just turned 17 last July and Alexandre who is 14 years of age. United to my Romeo for more than 18 years, life has been a blissful one. He is from the city of light and he means that truly to us.
Juggling my career, motherhood and wifehood is a gift yet I miss my being with them at all times. Taking care of them in timelss moments is one of my greatest achievements. But in the course of our expatriate life, being a working mom will always be a challenge.

Asian Link
We had the other night the Indonesian Independence Day. It was quite a crowded gathering mainly with diplomats. I was apprenhensive to see 2 filipinos only in that gathering. Meet friends and acquaintances. I know I can be mistaken as Thai, Malaysian or Indonesian. But I know by heart, it's not simply by features, being asian myself. I know for a fact that I can be with any nationality and still be able to make the most of each gathering. They are all friendly, used to go around their circles. An extra effort on my side to take a habit of learning a few words of each of the asian countries we had been. It sounds funny to be saying words in another language but it seems my tongue has found home to each malay language. Not much to carry a long conversation but good enough to break the ice of a new meeting (he he). Here are a few of the asian togetherness I am part of. I truly enjoy their company. Sharing with you as well the fashion show of "The east mingles with the west" a showcase of different traditional saris mixed with western clothes. Missed the first part as we were in a reception but somehow enjoy what I was able to capture
