Random Chinese Proverbs
S ince I can still feel the warmth of Chinese New Year (warmth in the sense of not having many students in the class ), I thought of scribbling some Chinese proverbs would be fun after I finished my semester plans. Using an old ang pao, I cut it into different parts where I can get the beautiful print outs and pasted them on my SCA given diary. Then, I started browsing the world wide web for some inspiring Chinese proverbs. Sometimes in our life, we need to create something new to feel that we’re still on the right track, and when we feel lost, reading inspiring quotes can lift our spirit up. Since I am a trying hard to be as creative as I can be, here’s what I managed to do in my 20-minute break I felt good after doing this page in my diary and...
Cebu Pacific is Now Flying Manila-Siem Reap
W ait no more for the much long awaited flight is now on! Cebu Pacific is now flying direct from Manila-Siem Reap beginning April 2012. Travelers from Philippines will now enjoy the beauty of Angkor Wat in very affordable prices, and this means Filipinos will have the opportunity to fly nth times easier and faster anytime of the year. Woohoo! This is absolutely exciting for us (Filipinos) who work here in Cambodia, because we now have more options to choose from whenever flying back to our homeland. My only wish is for CebPac to have a direct Manila-Phnom Penh flight for I am based here. Adding to the fact that more Filipinos are situated in Phnom Penh than Siem Reap, so let us cross our fingers for this to become a reality soon. For now, let’s grab this...
Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012
H ow time flies so fast is just one of life’s wonders and once again another year had passed beautifully. There may be some glitches along the way, yet we’re still here making the most of what we can do to make L-I-F-E full of joy and love. Looking back, I’d say I had a beautiful and peaceful 2011. My children are doing fine in their studies and I have a very good relationship with my husband, family, and colleagues. These things above money and others are more important to me than anything else in the world. As long as we have food on the table, clothes to wear, good health – we’re already contented. Extra stuff may come as a reward. I am also thankful to all the opportunities that were given to me. Surely they have made me stronger,...

T he good news just keeps on getting better and better, and just before the year end, a proper press release has been published regarding new direct flights between Philippines and Cambodia.

Christmas 2011
T his year marks my 7th Christmas away from home. Although I’m kinda used to it already, still it won’t be the same if you’re not with your family and friends in the Philippines. Iba pa din ang celebration ng Pasko sa Pinas! The only good thing that I hold on to in celebrating away from home is my children and husband whose with me through thick and thin. As long as we’re together, Christmas will always be special no matter what. So, enough of being emo and let’s look on the brighter side.

You Gave Me A Fright
I t’s been a while since I have watched something scary in the cinema and tonight’s exceptional. Colin Farrell’s Fright Night literally gave me a fright, and I honestly thought of going out the movie house in the middle of the story, but hey I survived! I hated him so much in the movie were he portrayed an evil vampire, killing and sucking everyone’s blood to be alive. He’s so much different from his movie Alexander in 2004, which I really like most. Anyway, prior to watching it actually just before entering the hall I’ve asked my husband what kind of movie we’re about to watch, I was too busy these past days that I wasn’t able to do a little research about it and so I expected my smart ass Nestle to give me a...
