InterContinental Phnom Penh Commemorates Earth Hour

Mother Earth is shouting for help as the world is facing crisis everywhere. There’s tsunami, earthquake, air pollution, typhoon, and other natural calamities that can destroy nature’s beauty and calmness. Today, InterContinental Phnom Penh celebrated Earth Hour on it’s 2nd year by giving “VIP” children an activity to learn more why we need to help in saving the planet.

The program started in a short story of sad animals including the polar bear in the Arctic, monkey in the forest, and fish down the sea where their natural habitat’s being destroyed by the severe cut down of trees, rampant garbage disposal in the open waters, and continuous temperature rising that melts the ice caps in North and South Pole.

The second part was the color competition for children aged 6-8 and lantern making for those who are 9-12. Andrea and Aaron got a special chance once again to join this meaningful event together with their friends VJ and EJ. All the four kids and the rest of the participants showed their best in creating the most beautiful work of art. Parents are all anxious too while watching their children work. And of course, I, being the stage mother, didn’t let this pass without helping Andrea in designing. Oh well, I only cut the pictures and the rest of the work is hers

After an hour, the kids were given a chance to grab a bite, tasting the hotel’s delicious foods and soon the winners were announced. Since Andrea and Aaron were in different categories, they both aspired to win the prize and just like the past year, they’re giving away the precious bunny chocolate again for the best artwork.

For the second time around, Andrea’s able to bag the 1st place in the lantern making competition from the niner’s group! Hoorah! Hoorah! We couldn’t believe it for there were so many better lanterns than her but the judges gave way because of the message she wrote saying “Save Mother Earth!”(you can imagine how happy I was when they called her name, hahaha)

On March 26, 8:30PM, many nations in the world will turn off their light for an hour to save electricity and energy. Let us all commemorate in Earth Hour and act vigorously in keeping our planet a safe place to live.

For the Love of Wine

Im back to work since August 18 and it took me a while to blog again since I’ve been busy doing loads of task. Romyr is leaving soon and the job he’ll leave will be shared by me, Riza and Roma. I know we’ll not be able to equal the dedication and hard work you’ve done but we’ll do our best to make your efforts worthy of us

So the past week is really busy between family and work. I don’t even have time to chat with my family, well I guess their busy too, because I don’t see them online. I just hope nothing’s wrong going on in them.

Last night, Nestle and I went to Hotel InterCon. Not really to date each other but to try the Wine and Cheese they have for the night. It’s a monthly event and Ashley (our boss) recommended us to visit and see how it goes there, since we’re the one doing the promotions for InterCon. We got there at 8pm, paid $22/pax, tax included like what people do in San Diego tax planning and you can drink unlimited wine and eat cheese as much as you want. You can choose from 10 varieties of wine that they have – up to you if you want a pinot, chardonnay, pinotage, cabernet sauvignon & savignon blanc.

Im not a fan of cheesse so I drank instead. I think I had 4 glasses of white and 2 glasses of red wine. There’s not much people so I stood beside Nestle all the time and Ashley’s younger sister who happened to be there as well. I met Stefan and Damian (InterCon’s big bosses) and had a small conversation. Past 9, we went home togethr with Jordyan who arrived a bit late in the event. I was flat tired when we arrived, I didn’t even manage to eat dinner before goin to bed. All I had the whole day was a double cheese double beef burger from USA Donut, anyway, it doesn’t matter because I am not that hungry.

Time’s up guys, I need to go back to work now. Ciao!
