Filipino Roots

The meaningful Philippine Flag. Photo credits to my husband. As you all know, I am an expat living in Central Europe but I am very proud of my Filipino roots. I love Philippines. I really do. In fact, I consider it as the best home ever despite all the not-so-good issues that its citizens complain

Expatriates. Abroad. Different Culture. New Language. Away from home. Far from family and/or friends. These are just some of the issues that expats around the globe are currently experiencing.

Learning German in Hong Kong

Deutsch ist meine dritte Sprache. German is my third language. Ang Aleman ay aking pangatlong lenggwahe. Learning German has never appeared in my thoughts before.

From The PEAK: What a sight to behold!

Visit Macau!
