		<description><![CDATA[The movie, &#8216;I Don&#8217;t Know How She Does It&#8216; is a comedy about a working mum, who tries to juggle it all. I finally found time to watch it (the irony of it all) during a recent break in Bangkok, where I did nothing much except to catch up on sleep, eat good food, drink [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A little more than 4 hours and counting down to a brand new year. I&#8217;m sitting here, watching a couple of my sisters play with Clare and feeling blessed. 2011 was a big year for me in terms of personal growth. I never thought that there was much more room of developing who I am, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a month of being on the road for work, I came back home to a daughter who has forgotten how to pack her toys (because grandma&#8217;s house has hired help). Clare&#8217;s idea of packing up her room was to push all her toys against the wall. Which I found less than funny, of course. [...]]]></description>

Even though it pains your heart to discipline your child because of the above, you&#8217;re still a mum. Can&#8217;t wait to catch a break and just relax with my child.]]></description>

Contestants had to cut open durians with an opera troupe playing in the background. I thought it looked gorgeous &#8230; and guess what?! It was my idea to do it with [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a gorgeous place, and I was so underprepared for the cold during shoot day. Some of the other girls too, so each time we passed a male crew, they passed bits of clothing they could [...]]]></description>

Never been at one before and was baking big time, while getting some type of flies stuck to my sun screened body. The shadow looks like the shape of Australia, doesn&#8217;t it?

Food is fantastic, and you don&#8217;t have to turn your electronics off during take off and landing.) We just thought the photo below was [...]]]></description>
