Our 3rd (and final sightseeing day) in Dumaguete found us traveling to Cebu in the morning, and then exploring Dumaguete in the afternoon until evening. The reason for our side trip to Cebu was to fulfill AJ's wish to wish of seeing the butandings (whale sharks). I've had my first encounter with these friendly whale sharks last year and told AJ about it. He wanted to see ... READ MORE

A Week-Long (Free) Vacation
Where and how did you spend your APEC week vacation? I spent mine mostly at home; taking the days off as opportunity to catch up on cleaning and to do the things that were forever in my to-do lists.

Our office also arranged some entertainment for the kids (after their Trick or Treat) which includes a dog show and bubble show, among others. But what made this year's affair ... READ MORE
From Russia with Love: Lomonosov Porcelain
Here's another teacup story, originating all the way from Russia and with a colorful history to share, too. A teacup collector would not miss Lomonosov's Cobalt Net design because of this interesting fact: it was based on the blue net pattern painted into the porcelain dinnerware pieces of Catherine the Great (source).
