I knew there was a maternity line at H&M. I was so glad that there was because when I went to Hong Kong last July - this was all I could think about!  I was so excited to go shopping.  Unfortunately, the items were not as vast as if it were the non-maternity.  Styles were limited BUT the variety was good enough.  I wished there were more but hey, I can't complain. Last week, I went to Seoul - I had no idea if Seoul had an H&M, I was honestly clueless!  But while walking in Myeongdong - I saw Koreans holding bags of H&M - this made me a little excited, because it may mean that there is an H&M store in Seoul!  And true enough after a few steps, I saw it!  I went inside and walked around looking for the maternity line - and I saw none.  Sigh. So when I got back to the hotel - I searched online and found a blog entry that mentioned that there was indeed an H&M Mama line in one of the Myeongdong stores.  Good thing, my Pa...

I love peanuts... But only adobong mani, the salted ones without balat and honey roasted ones. On the Korean Airlines flight to Seoul, we were served with peanuts as snacks. I am one not to turn them down - so I munched on a pack, the brand was Fisher. And it tasted WONDERFUL! And so I asked the flight attendant for another pack, and another and another. Yes, this was my main snack while en route to Seoul! I think I consumed at least 5 packs... Hahahaha!! :) I wish I can purchase more!! Sigh... They're not available here in Manila.... :(

I can't believe this.... Can you?? Here's the link to the article: http://www.bworldonline.com/main/content.php?id=19654

The last time I was in Seoul was in 1995 or 1996. All I remember during that trip with my mom was that the food was great everywhere.  And I remember purchasing my ice skating shoes - that I was able to use once or twice in Mega.  Also the Lotte Hotel and the Lotte shopping center/department store.  Oh, and that Koreans do not know how to speak English. Two weeks ago, my Panget broached the idea of going to Seoul for a business trip.  I honestly wasn't excited because I wanted to go Hong Kong, but then my Panget's Seoul trip pushed through. The flight that was booked for us left Manila at 12:20AM via Korean Airlines. Hmm... I was hesitant because I remember listening to Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers and there was an issue with Korean Airlines before. But then, what greeted us were pretty Korean flight attendants! The plane was fairly new (I think) because each seat has its own TV with remote control for channel surfing and games!  The flight took 3 hou...

This shocked my morning. I'm so sad - I hope this trial separation does them good and make them miss and know that they're meant to be together.... Here's the whole article
