A long time ago, the Greeks were the first people who settled in what we now call Marseille. But this blog is not about what happened in 600 B.C. I just want to write about our one-day Marseille experience. We departed from Nice at 8:20 am and arrived in Marseille around 11:30. The train ride wasn’t that boring. Aside from my [...]

If you are reading this now, either you are intrigued with the tittle or you are my friend in facebook who is interested to know about what’s new with me. I hate planning! Or maybe, I am just too lazy. Jon is the more organized, methodological and rational between the two of us. Most of the time, I let him be responsible [...]

My muscle sores are still fresh from shopping at one of the biggest market in Riviera. We finally went to see what’s what in Ventimiglia. It is more laid-back at this time of the year (Fall), perfect to buy Christmas gifts. Ventimiglia is 45 minutes trip away from Nice Centre. We decided to leave early [...]
Isang Araw Sa Cannes Festival
Posted in Travel on May 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Umiwi kaming bigo mula sa Cannes Festival 2010. Siguro nga, wala lang talaga kaming tiyaga para maghintay at makipagsiksikan sa mga taong naghihintay na makakita ng artista o sadya yatang, hindi kami pang “Fan’s club” type. Naalala ko nung grade 6 ako, nag guest ang limang “That’s Entertainment” starlets sa school namin. Pagkatapo ng show, [...]

Public Tramway is the usual means of transportation in Nice Centre. It’s like our MRT or LRT of the Philippines, but on the streets. There are no metal barriers, no guard or ticket booths. You just get the ticket from a machine, step into the train, insert or scan the card to a device that [...]

February 12. Nice, France— We were just in time to see a French traditional event called Carnival de Nice. This year’s theme is about the story of the blue planet under the reign of Frog king. The story was told in French so I exactly had no idea how the story goes. The Carnival’s opening [...]

We thought we’d never find a good apartment located in the Center of Nice, very close to Prominade de Anglais, Place Massena and old Nice. A friend of Jon happens to know an owner of an immobilier or reality office called who was so kind to give us a price that we can afford. The [...]
Bad Hair. Bad Day

I made sure I packed my beauty tools and my most fashionable clothes before our trip to France to make sure that I fit-in the country of elegance. My husband bought an Enercell voltage converter made especially for heating tools to avoid messing up with my Con-Air hair dryer and CHI hair straightener or the [...]
