On our way to France and a bit later to Switzerland !
It’s been a year since I last hugged and laughed to the stupid jokes of my bunch of crazy brothers. 367 days exactly since I’ve shared an everlasting chatty tea (with macarons) with my precious sister!
So thrilled to finally have dîner with my parents tonight ! I love our life in the Philippines, but man, it is so far from (my!) home…
For a whole month, I’ll speak only French, eat French and dress French! Cocorico !
As we were wandering in Inchon airport – our connecting flight for Paris leaving in another 6 hours! we played it like the typical cliché of expats and hit Starbucks.
Even totally wrapped in my pashminas, I was freezing, dramatically resenting the deprivation of 20 degrees. Didn’t take long before the genuine Parisian grumpiness took a toll on me.. That’s when I looked up to this panel.
A gentle reminder that your day will go the way the corners of your mouth turn. Choose your perspective : either blaming the cold; Or welcoming Spring.
Cheers to La Vie en Rose!

Oh yeah! My daughter’s first words after our first hot chocolate in town “Mum, did you notice that so many people speak French too here?”… Still need to fine tune a little bit 😉 Have a lovely day!
Amuse-toi bien!
Oh oui, merci !X
Have a superb, wonderful trip! xxx.
And we did, first time in years I was even able to watch 2 movies in a row! Intellectual ones, where you have to focus a little bit, not talking cartoons with the kids here! XXX
Bienvenue à Europe et à Paris!
Bisous bisous.
Merci ! We are still in my hometown, FOntainebleau, so happy to wander in the forest again and show the Attilas around. Oddly enough, I don’t mind the jetlag that allows me to be totally up and running at 4, have a decent yoga sessions and enjoy a run among the most beautiful trees. So quiet, no car, just fresh air and nature all around.. Have a lovely day my dear, plein de bises!
Bon voyage! 🙂
Merci 🙂
Have a wonderful stay with your family in France, Estelea! Take care, my friend, and enjoy everything! 🙂
Thanks dear 🙂 Just received the little book you recommended! So you’ll be somehow with us in Europe too!
Thanks so much, Estelea! I will take the little book with me too as we are leaving tomorrow for Santiago, Mendoza, and Sao Paulo. Coming back on the 17th. And you will be in my thoughts. The best to you and your beautiful family! Big smiles!!! 🙂
Safe journeys 🙂 Please take pictures! All the best to you all too ❤
I am so glad that you are back to France, your family, and friends! You and the children have a blast! Take care, my wonderful friend! On these two next Fridays I will say to you from afar: ‘Shabbat Shalom!’
The excitement is all over 😉
Btw is it Incheon , S.Korea?
Yes it is 😀
Oh I forgot that you went to S.Korea. I thought there was a similar place in Phil too
Nope nope.
