i'm still alive!


I have been in hibernation for the past 2 months, mainly because we couldn't get internet in our new apartment here in Bah. So here's a quick post just to let everyone know that I'm still breathing and hopefully, by month's end, I'll be online!


God bless everyone! See you soon! =)

Happy Easter!

It has been quiet on my side of the world. I put off blogging for a while as I ponder about God, life, love, and family. Plus, there was sooo much to do, packing up again (yes, we're moving again), going home to Manila, leaving hubby behind in Bah :( , numerous errands, and finding out that we're pregnant!

We thank God for this wonderful blessing and we just can't wait to hold our little bundle of joy in our arms - 6 months to go!

Happy Easter everyone! Let's celebrate Jesus' resurrection and thank Him for giving us the hope of eternal life!

'nuff said.

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

my first sand storm


Everything looks "orange-y". Very strong cold wind. I wanted to go out but hubby insisted I stay indoors. Oh well, I hope there are some great movies I can watch. Looks like this will be a long day!

pre-hearts' day


For Valentine's Day, Sweetcorn gave me something that glitters.....

Nope, it's not jewelry, but it is gold - 10 grams, no less!

How practical! Something I can (wear) carry around and something that grows in value. That's my hubby - always thinking of the future.

Advanced Happy V-Day to everyone!

new year, new adventures


Hello, world! I have been hibernating the past months. Been so busy fixing up the world and battling government issues....ha!

Seriously, I have had limited internet connection the past months. Plus, I have been taking care of so many things in Manila (banking, sss, insurances, etc.) and before I knew it, it's time to fly to the Middle East. But I will be back in a month's time, so my dear friends (especially you Tet), we have to meet up!

2009 marks the year of Peppercorn! We have a whole new country to explore, new adventures to experience, new friends to make, and more importantly, a really cool apartment to live in!

I am now here in the Kingdom with my Sweetcorn and one word to describe this place: FREEZING. I have to wear layers and layers of clothing to keep warm. I have to enjoy this cold weather though because summer's coming and once it gets hot, it's really, really hot.

We have been staying mostly indoors since I got here, fixing up the place and unpacking the boxes that came from London. And just like before, I leave you with some BEFORE photos:



The AFTER pictures are posted here. Check them out!

Happy Holidays!
