Confessions of an Expat's Wife
from one country to another,thousands of miles earned, different languages to get by with, cultures and expectations to live with plus millons of photos taken to tell the adventures of my lifeDecember 07, 2005
Up and Running Again
I have so many stories to tell. From our first Airasia flight, wild river rafting, Temple Visits, Buddha watching, Romantic Dinners by the beach, meeting and having good laughs with old friends, dibidi hoarding, rustic train rides ( ala Amazing Race train ride in India), and even Monkey spotting in the wetlands.
I have hundreds of pictures to share but I also have thousands of things to do now that I am back. First on my list is the gruesome task of unpacking and doing laundry. My body is still on vacation mode especially while listening to this track. Afterall, The Killers became our holiday band of choice for some bizaare reason!
Stories and pictures to come after my laundry... Enjoy the Video!

Unpacking is somewhat the uncoolest thing to do after a whole long hooooli-day. Hand the laundry off to the valet & JOG a million miles to get rid of those jetlags, oily foods you absorbed or scan all those fotoz and share 'em with us.
Good to hear you guys are back, safe & sound. Now time to scribble up the Xmas wishlists and put a BIG star up your xmas tree.
Come ovah here, gimme a hug!-

K I have all things planned already. Can you believe I already have plans for my week the moment I got back!
It's good to be back!
Analyse I didn't try the fried tipaklong! Naawa ako sa itsura! :D
Owen It's a great place to visit especially if you like eco tourism.KK itself has a lot to offer from the beach,to river rafting, trekking Mt. Kinabalu, jungle adventures etc etc. It's also a good place for Diving ---> Sandakan Island. Super lapit sa Philippines.
Jayred When I was reading your entry on laundry I could totally relate! I'm just about to finish mine :D
Kala It was such a refreshing vacation! I will be spending my christmas and new year here in Istanbul though. It's going to be a white christmas for me here. I don't think they celebrate it bigger than bayra, here. It's actually a normal working day...
I will definitely post the pictures---> super fun in the sun but it's always goo dto be home!-
