Food Post: Franco’s at Rockwell Powerplant

01.28.2014 by Leah // 4 Comments

AJ and I are big fans of Myron's Steak. We preferred dining at their Rockwell Branch (over the one at Greenbelt) because of its cozy ambiance and formal look that made it perfect for dinner dates.   We had planned on having dinner there sometime in October last year (because I miss their Chicken Inasal already!) when I remembered that a new restaurant has replaced Myron's na ...

Food Post: Wee Nam Kee

01.10.2012 by Leah // 1 Comment

This is not the first time we've been to Wee Nam Kee.   We love their Roasted Chicken to bits.  That's always our choice over their Hainanese chicken, which we first tried at their Ayala Triangle branch. Last Sunday while strolling at Serendra, we saw a Wee Nam Kee restaurant across Conti's.   Thankfully, we were used to falling in line already at their Ayala Triangle branch ... READ MORE

Food Post: Kenny Roger’s Hainanese Chicken

08.11.2011 by Leah // Leave a Comment

The first Hainanese Chicken meal I've tried was from Orchard Road (Megamall Branch).   I remember eating here for a few times when AJ and I were attending bridal fairs at the Megatrade Hall hehe. Since we haven't been to Megamall in a while, I got my cravings back for hainanese chicken when I saw this poster at Kenny Rogers, Rockwell Branch: I just have to try it. ... READ MORE

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 ❤
