Many years ago, when I was still dating my now husband, he was aptly warned by my mother of my lack of domestic diva-ness. I was just not good at house chores, most especially cooking. I love to eat and stayed home for as long as I could because my mum, if I may say [...]
They’re called Bui-Doi. The dust of life. Conceived in hell. And born in strife. They are the living reminder of all the good we failed to do. We can’t forget. Must not forget. That they are all our children too. Although many of us came to know the term “Bui-Doi,” through Miss Saigon (a musical [...]

I thought of this because I clicked on the forum and saw topic called Any kids transition tips. In my own small way, I have some helpful tips for expats with kids and how families can adjust moving here especially the little ones and those in the tween age bracket. I hope you’re all cool [...]

Yes, you read the title right: &(*#@+/ Cherries. What makes me so mad about Cherries? Well, just hold on, I’ll be getting to that. Abreeza, Davao City’s newest fanciest mall is open. Grand opening day was last Thursday, May 12. Although Feyma pretended like she did not want to go to Abreeza for the Grand [...]

It’s now summer time here in the Philippines and at this certain period of the year it does not only mean Holy Week and endless bonding of family and friends at the beach. It is pure and simple Tuli (Circumcision) Time! We scheduled my son’s circumcision, who is turning 9 this November, on the 2nd [...]
It was toward my third month in country, in fact it was the beginning of my third month. Yaga’s Mom and Dad knock on our front door so of course I opened the door. Said good morning and asked how are you. Which, since they don’t understand English they didn’t respond to. So they came [...]
After my last food article on here about best burgers and pizza, we visited Trinoma again and were in the mood for something different. We had passed by the place a few dozen times, always seeing the giant cow standing outside, complete with wings and a halo. American style steakhouses in the Philippines are rarely [...]

I was out and about today over in the Bajada area. I passed by at the newly built Abreeza Mall, and its almost done. It says on the sign that it will be open on May 12th 2011. Just by looking at it I’m really impressed. Hearing and reading from the TV and the papers [...]

Before I start this article please let me state that it is not really anything to do with the Philippines but I am sure that a huge amount of people here sat and watched the event live on TV. I, being British am really a very Royalist especially with me being ex military so I take a [...]

I would quote my Angel Snippets blog for this: “Life has a way of surprising you without really surprising you.”If the weekend of Earth was something short of magical what with the wedding of the century happening (and me missing out on the kiss at the…

I’m not sure if it’s really a storage business per say, all though two complete bedrooms in my house are used for that purpose, and not by me. It seems that when our oldest girl got married 9 years ago she never really moved out of our house. Her old bedroom is packed to the [...]

I would like to share a story with you from my last visit to the Philippines. As you know I work in Kuwait. My wife and kids live in the Philippines. We were expecting our third child this April. I had just been on a visit to the Philippines in December. We had gone to [...]
It’s been awhile since I have posted a Dear Feyma letter here. I just didn’t go through a lot of my emails yet. But I had this email that caught my attention. “Dear Feyma, I am a Pinay. An OFW working in the Middle East. I just got back from a month of vacation there [...]
After a long school year, it’s always good to take a break, thankfully summer has just begun. We are just a few weeks into summer, and it is a constant up and down roller coaster ride, first the Japanese earthquake, then Jared’s birthday, add the XBox360 getting fixed, again, and of course, what is summer [...]

I’ve been growing up in the province. Studied my grade school there, studied my high school days in the city, but usually I went home by the end of the week. During weekends I stayed in the farm helping my parents taking care of the animals and our coconuts and corn fields. In the province [...]

I really don’t know about other Filipina women but I like foreigners more than the Filipino male species. He he. Maybe it’s just me. I’m weird. I’ll definitely admit that. Weird in a good way. I don’t have that kind of spark, or that kind of kick that ignites passion out of Filipino men. I [...]

A frequent topic of discussion on this web site and other online forums is related to the quality and availability of health care in the Philippines. I’m generally a martyr when it comes to doctors: I go only after I can no longer function. Rebecca and her family generally go to an albularyo first, and [...]
It was last week and a Saturday morning; I’m on the “Puter,” connected to the world, when I notice the twins were absent, they weren’t inside the house, or in the front or the backyard. But then I heard chopping and falling branches on the empty lot next-door to our house. I went to investigate, [...]
