We get sick when we have a weak immune system.  It usually happens when we lack sleep or when we are overworked or stressed-out. My mama ( when she was still alive) used to give me hot milk with honey and 1 pasteurized eggyolk. It helps all the time, even when the cough is terrible, but you have to do it for about 3 days to a week and you should drink it before you go to bed. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have hypertension or very high cholesterol, then this is NOT the cure. Just try lemon tea with honey.

Get well soon and take care! God bless you!

Yayasan Complex Brunei

Yayasan Complex

This is THE place to shop in Bandar Seri Bagawan (if not all of Brunei).  Yayasan is as picturesque a shopping mall as any on the planet. A beautiful mix of modern and traditional architecture, the complex’s elegant walkway includes stunning views of the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque and Kampong Ayer - water village located on the side of the elegant mosque.

Yayasan Complex opened in 1996 and includes designer boutiques, dining and department stores to browse through. Though most of the crowds have moved to Bandar Seri Begawan's aptly named "The Mall", Yayasan is still beautifully located to check out the city's most popular attractions and do a little shopping at the same time. You would also find our very own Jollibee restaurant there.

Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque

The main reason why my brother and I flew from Kota Kinabalu (KK) to Brunei is because of the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque. 

This amazing structure is an eye candy specially at night. 

Air Asia flight is fast and smooth.  From KK It took us only 20 minutes to reach Brunei. I was not done filling up the immigration form when we landed.  Ha ha ha!

Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque is a royal Islamic mosque located in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of the Sultanate of Brunei.

The mosque is classified as one of the most spectacular mosques in the Asia Pacific and a major tourist attraction.Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque is considered amongst the people of Brunei as the country’s major landmark.

Amazing in appearance, the Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque is Brunei's proudest architectural achievement. It sits on an artificial lagoon near the Brunei River in Kampong Ayer which is, appropriately enough, known as a "water village." A structure in the water that resembles a ship was at one time used for official state ceremonies.

The mosque is the largest in the Far East, and considered among the most beautiful in the world. It reaches a height of 52 meters and is topped with a gold dome supported by walls of Italian marble, which also forms the mosque's columns, arches, and towers. The stained glass was hand made in England and the carpets are Saudi Arabian.

We were not able to enter the mosque because it was RAMADAN when we went to Brunei. Nonetheless, I super love my shots! Nagbuhat sariling mesa, naman! Pasensya na ganun siguro pag mag isa palagi, nagiging delusional. I almost got hit by a car when I was taking these photos. Tsk,  tsk. The things you'll do for the love of photography! Ha ha ha! Enjoy Brunei!
