Photos from My Malaysia Trip

It’s been crazy these past 2 days here in Manila. Heavy rains and floods are what we have been experiencing. I am thankful that I was able to come home before this hit. I arrived home very early Monday morning. I have only finished a few things since then because my little boy wants to be with me almost all the time. I guess he missed me as much as I missed him. Anyway, to start off this Malaysia series, here are some photos.

You gotta have the the cloud photos

We were in a hurry so the photos are not so good.

Giant Chupa Chups! It had 15 pieces inside. It costs around Php600. It costs more in Singapore!

Crazy traffic outside

KLCC

We only spent a couple of hours in KLCC because we were catching another flight to Sarawak.

Love this mall! It was huge and it had a lot of brands that we are missing here in Manila. Plus most of the stuff are priced just right, not too far from the original US prices.

These are some photos of the hotel we stayed in.

The toiletries which my companion enjoyed immensely

The sink glasses that I avoid after watching that documentary about US hotels and how the housekeepers just use a rag to wipe them. They use the same rag to clean the counters.

I love it when the hotel provides slippers, iron and an ironing board.

There are no photos of the scenery and the outside world. I went there mainly to get some decent sleep and allow my body to rest to recuperate. It was an impromptu trip. I decided to go on a Tuesday and got a flight on Wednesday. I was away for 5 days and I had some glorious sleep during that time. All I did there was sleep, eat and shop! More on my Malaysia trip next.

Oh, if you are interested in the food we ate, please visit my food blog. I will post them soon.

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...
