My family and I really had a wonderful celebration yesterday. It's the first time in all the years of my existence that my Mom and Dad didn't have to work on Christmas day. We had the whole day to eat, visit relatives, slack off and just have fun. Prior to that, we also had our usual mass before having Noche Buena. I didn't...
It's a day before Christmas and here I am, still sick from last week's workload. I had to overwork myself last week so I can afford to be on leave for 2 weeks, major YAY! Last week may be tiring but I have 2 full weeks ahead of me--to slack off, sleep, eat and just do anything non-work related. Weeeeh! For today, I'll...
1. Mini Cupcake Maker - I know this is a waste of resource since I can wish for an oven instead. But, a girl can wish, yes? Plus, it's cute and handy! 2. LG Pocket Photo Printer - I originally wanted an Instax camera but the film can be quite expensive. Also, the thought of not knowing how your photos will turn out does...
This blog post is way overdue. I've had the photos on queue for about 4 mos but only got around to doing the content today LOL! The boyfriend and I celebrated our 6th anniversary yesterday. We were supposed to go out for an expensive dinner + spa but we got lazy because of the rain, plus the expensive part didn't sound too appealing...
According to Buzz Feed, "Nothing really happens when you/re 24. You're a little too old to be magically young and alive and all "YOLO", but a little too young to be jaded and apathetic. You just are. It's OK." I think this holds true to what happened to me this year. Nothing really special, and I want to change that. The last time...
I've mentioned in my previous food diary that Gigantes was the ultimate food haven, but I wasn't done. We have around 3k+ photos from our Iloilo trip and I only got around to editing half of it. So, here you go. More food photos from our Gigantes trip! ...
I haven't shared a recipe for quite some time now, I've been too lazy to cook because my body has been too fucked up too function. I have been changing my shift at work on a weekly basis, and I can't really say I have fully adjusted. I'm quite surprised I actually had the time to edit photos and post them on the...
Err, not really. The attitude of the sloth, most likely. Looking at my last post from Gigantes, it's sad and exhilarating at the same time to find out that the last update I've had on the blog was over 2 weeks ago. I haven't even had the time to respond to comments, and for that, I apologize. A lot of people sent me messages...
If I were guilty of one thing, that'd be ignoring this blog for over two weeks. I won't lie and say I've been busy, in fact, I was just enjoying life and I had to detach myself a bit from the online world. I didn't cook a lot, too. I slept, watched movies and cuddled with the boyfriend. Every now and then I...
For a good 2 months now, I've been taking more pasta than rice as I believe it has less carbs. I don't really know if I'm saving any calories here but it seems like it because I lost a lot of weight. I don't know how to make my own pasta sauce though; I'm very reliant on ready-to-use sauces which is why I...
After a few weeks of starving myself to death in preparation for our Iloilo trip, I was finally ready to harvest the fruits of my labor and indulge for 4 fucking days in glorious food. I didn't really know what Iloilo had in store for us. Good thing a co-worker who's from Iloilo went with us. We told him that we'll leave things...
Hello, people of the innernetz. I was MIA for a few days because I just HAD to unwind and get away from the hustle and bustle of the metro. I needed some peace and quiet, hence our flight to Iloilo was very timely especially with what's happening at work right now. Work has been crazy because of all the changes. While I understand...
Ola, loves! The weekend is almost over, I'd usually curse and complain about how the weekend is so short and how Monday is always around the corner--but not this time. I only have a 3-day work week because I'm going to Iloilo with the boyfran and some friends from work. Weeeeeh! I've also had this outfit post on queue for some time now...
Hola, lovelies! I hope you guys were able to enjoy the long weekend as much as I did! I spent the weekend in Baguio to celebrate (uber late) the boyf's birthday with his family. I also paid my lovely sisters a visit. I made sure I feed them good food which led me to recommending we eat lunch at Cafe by the Ruins....
Hello! First off, I'm hoping everyone's high and dry as of this writing. The rain has been crazy! I was on holiday yesterday (Quezon City day) and I missed work today because of this evil rain/typhoon/monsoon! According to weather forecasts, we're expecting rain until Thursday--I'm hoping though that everyone's still safe by then. I'm supposed to come back from that mini hiatus with...
