My Cup of Tea

Pesto, Baked Lasagna, Chicken wings in teriyaki sauce, French fries and blue cheese dressing at Wings and Dips Last Monday, December 12 , I and Kathy went out for a dinner at Wings and Dips along Mabini complex, it was my first time to dine at this place and quite impressed with its very relaxing ambiance. I love the warm environment, the sparkling lights and the beautiful frosty theme embellishment of the place. The foods were great too! California Maki at Sushi Dito Davao Kani Cheese Maki Gyoza! December 13 was another dinner outing with friends, we went to Sushi Dito, a cool Japanese restaurant along Quirino avenue. I love the Kani Cheese Marki! Hope to make a repeat visit there soon ^___^ After dinner, I and Juvy went to NCCC mall to, well, just stroll around hehe...We bought Christmas songs CDs at Music Zone. The huge Christmas Tree at NCCC mall Winter Wonderland  Then we indulged on picture taking against the sparkling Christmas decors. We

Just in case Santa Claus is now high tech and just want to surf the net to read people's wish list for a stress-free gift-giving task...so I made one...haha! According to old folks, whenever you want something badly, just believe in yourself that you can have it, so, here, I am listing the things I want to have this Christmas season and hope Santa find these things very realistic...realistic enough to be thrown in my bedroom window at Christmastime. Burberry bag Elegant Vacheron Constantin watch costs six digits in Philippine currency But in the event that Santa Claus becomes busy with other undertakings like giving gifts to other people and would just choose to follow a different route to Africa or North Pole and will have no enough time to land in Philippine soil, I will just continue praying and hoping I can find ways to buy my wish list, if not this year, in the near future. Well, they say, if you want something badly, continue hoping for it, things will just

Malacañang Palace, through Proclamation No.295,  released the list of holidays for 2012. Yes, and another long weekends to look forward to in the year  2012. Personally, I love holiday breaks because it gives me enough time to be alone and think about life and what's-coming ahead.

Start of the Advent season and excited to attend the early dawn mass once again. Christmas is the happiest time of my life because it reminded me of my happy childhood in the province, by just thinking Christmas, my mind tossed back again to the magical period of my innocence and I love it because it helps me escape from the torment of life.  Christmas celebration is more wonderful in the province, plenty of native foods, life is so simple and relax and lots of laughter in the neighborhood. But my favourite part is the endless invitation of relatives and old friends to come to their houses and eat and eat, hahaha! I had the best Christmas celebrations when I was still in grade school. After the Christmas eve mass which often celebrated by my father (our parish priest would only conduct Christmas eve mass in the town proper but not in barangays), I and my cousin would roam around our place and did carolling and we would divide the native foods we received and sat beside th

I held my privacy very precious but here, I want to share something about my life, about my true self. I love PINK!  It's the color of beauty, romance and innocence.. but it's not exclusive haha ! There are some occasions that I choose other shades like purple, lavender and aqua green.  I am afraid to die in bullets, sword, car accident or being raped. I often pray for a quiet death, it's not morbid because everyone will have to die, so it's inevitable, and no one can escape, death is a nice word because it reminds us that we don't last forever. I dreamed to travel to Europe , I am fascinated with its history and glorious past. I want to write about ancient castles and monarchy and traveling there to do an actual research is a great help. I want to see the romantic countryside of Italy in Tuscany, the spectacular beaches around Greece and Cornwall in England and St. Kilda in Scotland and marveled at the breathtaking scenery of nature at Bavaria

This morning I read one article about ...well...."Nothing lasts forever", such a great sharing from one blogger and felt what she had gone through..she ended the article with something like ".... so don't be too caught up with the past, just look forward to the future".... One day, things will change....everything will just be a hazy shadow of the past..but we must undergo a terrible sojourn of despair first before seeing what life has to offer on the other side of the road...after all...we cannot see a beautiful rainbow without passing a terrible rain.. Someday, everything makes sense....just got to make the best of the situations, sometimes because of our effort to hold on tight, we've got to lose the things we are trying hard to save. But that's life...and we must learn how to conform with the reality.... For so long, I've been keeping myself welded in one corner that I never realized time is slipping so fast. I was so cautious with m

The Battle of Britain book sent to me by Sir Earl Doriman, former engineering faculty who now lived with his family in Manchester, England. Thank you sir Earl! Towards the end of my high school years, I thought of taking up International Studies (IS) in college because I wanted to study the history and culture of other nations/continents, well particularly Europe, but it was not materialized because none of the universities in Mindanao offered IS back in the 90s, so I settled with a business course. But my longing to study other culture grew everyday, so when I entered college, whenever I had a vacant hour, I would go to the library and read books about Europe, the continent's glorious past, the wars, the monarchy and everything about the royalty's amusing lifestyle. Later, this fascination became a habit. Okay, so lately, despite tons of case assignments and class reports in the graduate school (where I currently enrolled 12 units), I still have enough time to
