A series of unfortunate events

This is what I can call the week leading to our trip to Korea.

First, I had my face treated 5 days before our trip and the promise that it will heal within 3-5 days has failed. I can still see the spots. I need to use heavy concealer to hide them. Praise the day concealer was created.

Second, for some unknown reason I have viral infection which was aggravated by the Chicken broth i had for Sunday lunch and Crab for Sunday dinner. The horrific commute home Monday night and the exasperating change of venue during the morning. Not to mention the tuna I consumed during breakfast before my visit to the doctor. Now I have red spots all over my body, Reddish eye and swollen face. And I cannot eat any allergy triggering food. Basically, I'm down to veggies and pork. And all the buffet meals included in our trip? Goodbye. Did I mention I have slight fever at night? Body Heat scanner target!

With all this, how am I supposed to look like my passport picture? That is if I pass the body heat scanner!

So I can't eat much and I can't go to work also because I may infect others. This is adding to my stress. And to top it all off, I get an email stating a deadline before we leave. I am not a miracle worker.

Did I mention that yesterday, North Korea decided to bomb a place in South Korea? Just our luck.

Somebody save me.

Hay.

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Around Manila: Exploring the streets of J.P. Rizal in Marikina

It is funny how we know the history and culture of a land we do not live in yet know so little about where we live. Thus, began our mission to explore Manila, one city at a time. DESTINATION: Marikina Starting Time: 11am End Time: 5pm How to get to J.P. Rizal in Marikina - Waze (app) and Google Maps Marikeno (native people in Marikina) are said to be the most disciplined people in the Philippines. If the cleanliness around Marikina were a testament to that, Marikenos would pass with flying colors. The streets I could say were similar to those in Singapore - free from litter and we saw people from households cleaning their own front area even if it were facing a street. SHOE CAPITAL of the Philippines Marikina produces 70% of the shoes in the country. and holds the World's Largest Pair of Shoes, recognized by the Guinness World Records. In Marikina, you can find the Shoe Museum which houses 800 out of the 3000 shoes that were part of the famous shoe collection of the
