Dear Luna, “Mummy, please, let’s not eat animals and other creatures!” We were on our way to Henri’s first birthday earlier when you blurted this out. Bubba and I got no idea where this came from. We laughed in disbelief. A vegetarian by choice at the age of four. So adorable. True to your word, […]
Dear Luna, Currently checked in Candlewood Suites, Santa Clara. We ‘re in the U.S. cause Bubba’s gotta do a robot demo at some convention in San Francisco next week. All of us are still dealing with jetlag, and our body clocks are still trying to adjust to California’s time zone. So we stay in most […]
Dear Luna, Less than 24 hours, and we’re already packing for our journey back home. Around past three in the afternoon yesterday, we arrived here at Holy Land Beach Resort in Bolinao, Pangasinan. Not the best on this strip, but it has a pool, and it’s relatively cheap. Like, P2,300 cheap for an air-conditioned room […]
Dear Luna, Nana invited us to come to Mona Vale Beach with her today. She went ahead (cause she wanted to do an early swim) while we prepped for the day out. It’s quite cold this morn, so we planned to just let you play at the playground. Before heading out, bubba checked his work […]
Dear Luna, We were supposed to meet up with mumma’s friend, Gringo, at Bondi Beach earlier today. Bubba and I couchsurfed at his place about fours years ago in Bacolod when mumma was two months pregnant with you. We were on a two-week backpacking trip in Visayas then and Bacolod was our last stop. Unfortunately, […]
Dear Luna, It’s day two of our Cairns-Sydney roadtrip. Right now we’re at some rest stop off Bruce Highway, and we’re sleeping inside our station wagon (Which we hired for free!) again tonight. Prolly for the whole trip, we’re not sure. We’re the only ones parked at this stop, so mumma and bubba decided to […]
Dear Luna, We’re back in Australia now, and will be here for about a month to catch up with family and friends. And for mum to hopefully watch the Dave Matthews Band Concert in Sydney. Today we visited your granpa Bubba Shah and granma Mitra. Before we headed to their house for a lovely chicken […]
Dear Luna, Here’s something I wish you could correctly pronounce someday, Mtskheta. Because mummy can’t. I tried so many times ’til I ended up with a sore throat. It’s the name of a city we visited this morning. We’re currently traveling Georgia (the country in Caucasus, not the U.S. state) and it was the first […]
Dear Luna, Today’s our first Australia Day! Unfortunately, bubba’s in the U.S. for work so we’re celebrating just the two of us. You and I are currently staying at a rented self-contained studio in Kangaroo Point, Brisbane. Days ago, I planned to take you to the nearby playground so we can have a simple picnic […]
Dear Luna, What a frigorific day in Russia! Even so, we did a bit of roaming this afternoon cause we only got a couple of days in Nizhny Novgorod (after which we head to Moscow). Bubba’s colleagues, who organized our visit (we’re in the country partly for business, partly for pleasure), accompanied us to a […]
