Celebrate joy!

Dreaming of the waves and the sand... this is a song that just never fails to soothe me :) Enjoy everyone!

I'm sure most of you have already visited the stretch of restaurants along Maginhawa and its neighboring streets... but as for me, it was my first time to dine in the area last week. :) Last Saturday, my clubhouse friends and I decided to eat at Wicked Kitchen. When we got there around 12pm, it was only us. But after about half an hour, the place was packed!

Woke up this morning with a bad case of cold so this is like an involuntary free day for me at work. Sunday mornings are great, but Monday mornings mean that I get to have the  house all to myself, so I can read and write peacefully. Whoopie!

I was punching Ais and I was gasping for air with fits of laughter escaping my mouth... the culprit was the guy on stage, Alex Calleja - the stand up comedian aka "The Master." I don't remember laughing that hard in such a long time and it felt goooood. Have you laughed like that lately? To be laughing so hard, your stomach hurts!

Hi! First post for October! :) Just celebrated my birthday last week, and the million-dollar question is this: How old/young are you??? :) I guess I have reached the age when I would think twice before saying it out loud. HA! So, do I feel old? Hmm… Not really, although the age 27 (there, brave ol me, I’ve said it out loud :P) also surprises me. Really?? I’m ALREADY 27??!

They're candid, cute, energetic and yes, sometimes they test your patience and they seemed to be assessing just how loud your voice can get to get your point across... who am I talking about?? KIDS!! Spending time with these kiddos bring smile to my heart like nobody else can. ...and as ironic as this sounds, they have taught and reminded me on a lot of things that we have forgotten as grown ups. :)

Last weekend, we went to this Starbucks branch in Tagaytay and it was really lovely. It was situated below a steep driveway, and unless you know where to look, it would be quite easy to miss. But it's a spacious lot -- with glass doors, paintings, couches, benches and wooden architecture -- it may just be my favorite Starbucks by far.
