Chefan Burgers! Hi guys and gals! Today I am going to be talking about my favourite burger place in Guernsey, Chefan. Just because my boyfriend, @Andrea1511 , got me some take away cheeseburger and fries from there last night, amidst the torrential rain! I showed my appreciation by gobbling it up like a starved python. He also very nicely got me a bottle of Orangina soda with my dinner. Isn't he a darling! Chefan is located in the heart of St. Peter Port just at Market…

Fun Times in the Island of Herm Hello everyone and happy Sunday! This island girl is here to take you to another island journey to an island called, Herm. An island which I have visited at least 3 times during my stay in Guernsey as it is only a 20 minute boat trip from St. Peter Port via the Herm Trident. Herm is considered as the smallest of the Channel Islands. In fact, it is so small that you can walk around the whole island within 2 hours. Trust me it's true, we kept…

Fermain Bay Memories With My Bae When I was working in Guernsey I considered myself as a house cat who does not like going out much and then I met the real house cat, my boyfriend, Andrea. I can't believe he lived 4 years in the island and has not been to a lot of places apart from the restaurants. He's been to more than me on that area. Anyway I was surprised one day when he mentioned a place where I haven't actually been. And that is Fermain Bay. We first went there via…

My Farmer Chronicles Good morning readers. My topic today is not my usual travel blog. Today I will be sharing with you the time my friend Ermy and I ventured out into farming! Yes you heard that right! The nurses became a farmer Joes. We did this during our first year in Guernsey as we were needing some past-time and hobby and because we figured why not have our veggies free. Ermy is from the Mountain Province, and I am a farmer's grand daughter and had some farm experience…

I Can See the Light at the End of the Tunnel I do not know how many of you know my back story but I actually joined read.cash out of desperation as I have been unemployed for 4 months waiting for my new work visa to arrive. I had an employer waiting for me too but I cannot commence work without the visa. I think the UK Home Office had been too swamped with refugee visas that they thought my visa was not as urgent. Because normally if you are from the UK applying for a new…

Went Home Like a Defeated Sumo Wrestler I went to check on my visa again yesterday as it was being delivered to my previous accommodation.

Amazing Alicia Panoramic Park Hello lovely readers! Good day! I have been in a lot of places around the globe, but I am embarrassed to say I have not wandered a lot in my own home country. Unfortunately, I was not so adventurous when I was growing up. Nevertheless, I did see some good places back home too. So today, I will be talking about my visit to a place from Bohol, my home province in the Philippines. It is called Alicia Panoramic Park which is located in Brgy. Cambaol…

Yesterday ❤️ Hello guys before I miss out my posting window for today I have come to write about my absolutely amazing day yesterday. My boyfriend, Andrea, was working 6am to 2pm yesterday. So I took the opportunity to sort out some work stuff since I finally got my visa! Woot woot! Hurray! I was informing my manager at work about it, booking my flight back to the mainland, and sending HR some documents. As finally, after 4 months of being on forced unemployment, I can work…

Sunday Lunch at Fat Rascal Hello my friends! It's the last weekend for me as a bum as I finally got my visa and I will start to work next week. It is also my last weekend here in Guernsey for now. My friend Joydee and her husband Marsh, arranged for a luncheon double date today at Fat Rascal Craft Bar & Kitchen here in Guernsey. To be honest with you, I have been so excited about it since last night as I am a proper foodie and food is really a great part of my human…

Inman is also the creator of the famous online comic,…

Weward App Experiment Hello everyone good evening. I am a bit late with my article today, as earlier, I had trouble accessing this site. It was saying that the traffic here was too high. So to pass my time productively, I went out for a post-dinner walk around town. I have noticed my fitness has not been so great lately and I've hit the 70 kilogram mark on the scales so I am a lot concerned. I used to be quite fit and active you see, it used to be pretty normal for me to…

Rainbow Butterfly Pasta Hello readcashers here is another food post from yours truly as we went to a local Italian shop here called, Vinoteca, and found something pretty and interesting. It is a rainbow coloured *farfalle*, by Pastificio Del Colle made all the way from Puglia, Italy. *Farfalle* literally translates to butterfly, but before dating an Italian, I honestly thought they were bow ties or a ribbon. Anyhow, in the English world, it is known as both depending on your…

Bittersweet Flight Back to the Mainland The day started early for me today, actually I barely slept. My boyfriend finished his shift at midnight and I normally collect him from office to get more steps. Since it is my last day in the island, we decided to finish watching the Dahmer series on Netflix before bed time. We ended up sleeping around 2:00 AM. Set 3 alarms with 3 phones to ensure we wake up in 3 hours time. We woke up at 5:00 AM as my pre-booked taxi collected us at…

First Day At Work Hey guys! I don't know if anyone noticed, but I have gotten pretty quiet today. It is because I started my first day of work today at Fresenius Kidney Care. It is a dialysis clinic with several locations around the world. To be honest with you I was so nervous to go to work today. Firstly, because I have no experience in dialysis and secondly, because I have been off work for so long that I feel quite rusty. On the upside, since it was my first day, my…

Heavenly Desserts in Bath My boyfriend arrived yesterday from Guernsey! So it was a happy Friday for me. I was starving when I met him as I wasn't able to eat lunch at work, so we grabbed quick tapas for lunch first before we started exploring the city. We did not have an itinerary, just a leisurely walk. We saw a little garden and decided to stop there for a rest, and from there we spotted this dessert place called, Heavenly Dessert. The funny thing we noticed, was that in…

Dropped the Boyfriend Off the Airport Hello everyone how's your Sunday been going? I have started writing this, on a bus, on my way home from dropping my boyfriend to the airport for his flight back to Guernsey. This is going to be our new normal now as I am now working in the mainland and he remains working in Guernsey. I really am not a fan of long distance relationships (LDR) but somehow my relationships always sort of end up this way as love is quite and unpredictable…

Gather Cafe and Bar: Our New Brunch Place Hello dear readers! It is Monday and it has been a hectic one. I find myself thinking of the amazing weekend I had and wishing for the next one to come quickly.

Well according to the omniscient Mr. Google, tapas are small Spanish savoury dishes usually served with drinks at the bar. According to Miss Wikipedia it…

How I Spent My Day Off Today Hello guys today is my day off as I mentioned from my article early on. I have so many plans for today as I want to make the most of the day before I come back for work tomorrow. Anyway I woke up later than expected but hey it is my day off I deserved an extra snooze. First agenda was put my clothes in the washing machine as I really want to wash them so it can dry naturally since the weather now is not as great as before. Then I ran the bath and…

First Pay Day After 4 Months of Unemployment Hello everyone good day! I am really knackered today, more mentally than physically, as week 2 at work entails me having to take on one patient. This patient loading is actually not bad but for a person who is very new to dialysis it can get a bit overwhelming. I have not been properly introduced to the machine yet. There is a very long module for that, and I do feel like we should start with that before the hands on, but I think…

My Asian Cravings Satisfied Today Hello my friends. Today is my day off, and I went for another 45-minute walk towards the city centre, as day off for me equates to self-care and exercise. I have been gaining a lot of weight lately as I do understandably love to eat and when I am working I do not really have the energy and strength to do exercise after a 12 hour work. Sounds like an excuse I know. But I swear it is not, as I do truly love exercise and fitness although after…

Work Place Accident Yesterday, has been an extra challenging day for me at work. I was not really conditioned for it as I somehow slept badly the night before. I went to work expecting to have an online training day as my manager promised me before my day off, but unfortunately, one of our staff was sick so I had to forego my training to work on the floor. Anyway the morning was not as bad as I expected as we were managing so well and the team work was good. But the…
