    ByMae Olandesca February 2, 2021February 22, 2022

    Thailand the second time around!  After my 3-year-in-the-making blog post on South Korea, here’s another 2-year-in-the-making blog on the fooding experience I had in Bangkok with my KMME family for ProPak Asia 2018!  I just realized that I haven’t written even a single blog for this trip yet.  Now there’s a disadvantage if one always…

    Take me Back, SoKor!

    ByMae Olandesca January 22, 2021

    ‘Twas past 12 NN when we arrived at Incheon International Airport when the sun was up.  Right after deplaning, I could already feel the biting cold making its way through the gaps between the aircraft and the passenger boarding bridge from the outside.  It was like cold air from an air-conditioned room getting out from…

    Photo Grabbed from Pediatric Dental Associates and Orthodontics “Then I went doing against the will of God. I was such a rebel, forcing things to work my way, yet I ended up hurt, insecure, and dispirited!” This is just an excerpt of what I’ve written seven years ago in On Waiting….. Reading it now I’m…

    Old Maid: The Bitter Version

    ByMae Olandesca December 27, 2020December 27, 2020

    Photo from Web Old maid.  A scary word, isn’t it? I don’t understand why nine out of ten people make a very big deal out of this word. They consider it as a misfortune, an outcast, and worst of all, a scare! When a woman stays single, people immediately think that she’s not lucky in…

My last out of town trip before the CoViD-19 lockdown was Plaridel when me and the WEW Philippines ladies decided on impulse to have crêpes at Le Bistro.
