Vanilla Cupcake Bakery

02.08.2013 by Leah // Leave a Comment

If you love cupcakes then you must check out this new place at Glorietta 4 called Vanilla Cupcake Bakery.  But I warn you,  it's not exactly a place where your boyfriend or husband will feel comfortable staying in for long.   The place is too pretty and dainty and very feminine - the kind of place I'll want to hang out with my girlfriends. Let's check out the ... READ MORE

Sweet Gifts for Christmas

12.09.2011 by Leah // 2 Comments

Christmas is that time of the year where we receive the most number of C's - cookies, cakes, chocolates and candies.   All sweet food!  And we love receiving them, right? Unfortunately for me, I am not a sweet-tooth person but I do crave for one once in a while.    On the other hand, AJ loves sweets.   But I do appreciate good dessert food (as long as it's not sugary sweet) ...

Ciocolato

08.13.2011 by Leah // 2 Comments

A new shop has opened at Hobbies of Asia and it calls itself a "cupcakery shop" because it sells cupcakes!   It's called Ciocolato and yesterday I paid it a visit to see if it's as delicious as those from Sophie's Mom. I bought the red velvet cupcake.  Price tag is P65.00 (while the same cupcake at Sophie's Mom is only P50.00). I like the packaging, I think it's ... READ MORE

Opening of Sophie’s Mom Bakery & Confectionary

07.27.2011 by Leah // 5 Comments

We definitely did not miss the official opening of Sophie's Mom Bakery and Confectionary last Saturday, after having been to their store during its soft opening phase. As expected, there were more pastries to drool from and it's the first time I've seen the cupcakes which are all tempting to try! This is me in my typical weekend get-up:  Columbia shirt, Columbia capri ... READ MORE

Sophie’s Mom Bakery and Confectionary

My Ninang-officemate CDR and I always look at this bakeshop every time we pass by this neighborhood in San Antonio Village, Makati: The store display reminded me so much of this candy bar that I once considered for our wedding: Photo credit: Simply Love Vintage It's very pretty in pink.  And today, we were finally able to check it out.  Turned out it's none other than ...

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
