I Heart Bangkok!


NOV 17, 2014

I'm so at home now here in Bangkok. 
Yes, that's despite the language barrier and despite the spicy food.  

What's not to love about this place?! 
There's plenty of things to do to satisfy the traveler in me, plenty of shops to enable my insatiable shopaholic self, and plenty of resto options for the foodie me! 

Now that my work is no longer crazy busy and finally have the weekend to myself, 
we finally got our weekends down to science which consist of: 
A little sightseeing and a lot of shopping on Saturdays; A nice brunch, an afternoon tea, a nice massage and salon time on Sundays.  

I ❤️ Bangkok!

Gadgets and Weight Gain

OCT 28, 2013

I've gained about 8lbs since I got here in Bangkok.
I don't know how it happened.
My diet consists of just Facebook and Instagram and white rice.

I therefore conclude that being umbilically attached to one's phone causes weight gain.

French Laundry (What to Wear)

While it was a no-brainer what to wear to Per Se (black of course, it's New York after all), I was unnecessarily stressing over what to wear to French Laundry.

It's in Yountville (Napa area) so I wanted to look relaxed, but at the same time it's a Thomas Keller establishment, so I wanted to look finesse.

I didn't want to wear a solid dark color; it's summer after all and I read somewhere that the French Laundry does not have an AC in an effort to stay green.
I also didn't want to wear tight clothing; it's a 12-course tasting after all and the last thing I want is a bursting waistline before the pre-dessert is served!

The answer came in the form of a paisley maxi dress hanging in my closet for over a year now, waiting for the right moment to be showcased and strut around.

Other than the occasional I-look-like-I'm-preggo shot angles, it did do it's job:
to stay on until the last morsel of mignardises have been consumed!

Review of the restaurant coming soon!

Hello World!

Hello world! 
I'm still alive!!!!  

 I can't believe it's been a year now since I started a project here in Bangkok. 
I'm having such a blast here.   I'm loving every minute of it.  

A quick recap of what happened to me since I last blogged 6 months ago: 

  • I gained a few pounds because I can't control my diet here!  Pad thai, som tum, tom yum... yumm yumm yummm!!   I've lost a few of it but only to gain it back again!  
  •  I'm doing the most difficult implementation I've ever done in my 15 years of doing what I'm doing!  Work took up so much of my time and blogging has taken a backseat.  
  • I have been shopping non-stop.  Bangkok fashion is very cute and extremely cheap, I can't help it! 
  • I've gone 5 months of outfits without repeating.  Not a single one! That's what happens if you shop every single weekend, I guess.
  • We've traveled so much around South East Asia and we will be doing our city #100 in the next few weeks here!  
  • I'm learning Muay Thai and my trainer says I have good punches and I'm a natural boxer.  Who knew!!

Catherine Malandrino for Kohls (Part1): Home


I told my friends that I won't fly home until the last trace of snow is gone.   
After 6 months of being away, I delivered to such promise and now I'm home for a few days. 

I didn't realize how much I missed home until I actually got home.   
I thought the house would feel so big after living in a tiny hotel studio suite for too long.
But no, I was completely and immediately feeling homey as soon as I got home. 

Except jetlag is a bitch and I've been up until the wee hours and too sleepy to see the sun during the daylight hours.  

Oh well...  Still, there's no place like home!

What's not to love about this place?! 
There's plenty of things to do to satisfy the traveler in me, plenty of shops to enable my insatiable shopaholic self, and plenty of resto options for my inner foodie!
