Solo in Seoul: Winter Sonata {Deetour}
I was up early on Wednesday packing my bag for yet another trip to Korea. The night before, I had fever and the beginnings of a cold, so I couldn’t prepare then. I needed to conduct another training, this time to a bunch of Gillette folks in Seoul. A private car picked me up at home […]
Planting Trees in Hundred Islands {Deetour}
When I found out that Romi Garduce, my officemate who is the third Filipino to climb Mt. Everest, had organized a Mangrove tree planting activity in Hundred Islands in consortium with EcoRescue, I jumped at the chance to do a civic duty and at the same time go out of town. So I emailed Romi […]
Sojourn in Seoul {Deetour}

Ice Cream for Yen
Yen’s famous line: “I’m sad. I need ice cream.” So on her birthday, we bought five pints (different flavors) of Magnolia ice cream (the most delicious local brand) and surprised her with it at our 10th floor pantry. Happy food = happy birthday. 🙂

I turned 24 a couple of weeks ago. My office friends gave me a cake, a video, and some messages. They said they didn’t know how to make a blog for the messages which is what I usually do for their birthdays, so Drew just emailed them in different colored fonts. Haha! Happy Birthday Heids! […]
