The Good Stuff #7

01.10.2015 by Leah // 2 Comments

I'm still hung up for the holidays, and who isn't?  The chilly January weather makes me crave for coffee and sweet dessert (aside from sleep) any time of the day! Let me share with you some of the good stuff I discovered while on a 2-week Christmas break last year.  I can't believe I had so much sweets(!), but all were in eaten in moderation naman  =) ...

Enjoying Life’s Little Pleasures at Magnum Manila

11.15.2014 by Leah // 2 Comments

Would you believe that AJ and I visited Magnum Cafe 3x last month?  Parang sabik lang sa ice cream, ano?  Hehe! The first time we were there, we tried not only their celebrated dessert menu but their savory dishes as well.  I felt like being transported to one of the scenes in Chocolat, where Vianne prepared a full course menu for Armande's birthday, and there ...

Things that occupy my mind lately

05.15.2014 by Leah // 14 Comments

A lot of things have been occupying my mind lately, which left me feeling exhausted these past few days (hence the absence of blog updates). First, there's this wonderful proposal to partner up in a business that I am very much interested in - jewelry.  In fact, I already have a  business plan for it, ready to be discussed with my interested partner.  It will be an online ...

A Birthday Celebration at The Ranch Resort and Farm

01.07.2014 by Leah // 2 Comments

My sister-in-law Juvvy, of the Mommy Juvs blog, finally wrote about my nephew's 3rd birthday celebration last year (read her kwento here).  This reminded me that I have some photos from that trip as well which I haven't shared with you yet. Here goes my very belated post about my trip to Cebu in October last year: Because Liam loves swimming pools and animals, his parents ... READ MORE

Another Ice Cream Party

11.06.2013 by Leah // 4 Comments

There's something about Wednesday that makes me feel so worn out, and all I could think of right now is ice cream! Which reminds me, I forgot to share with you the little ice cream party I organized (with my sis-in-law) for my nephew's 3rd birthday last month. I wrote all about it in my sis-in-law's blog, so do check it out  =) Hmmm... Nothing would me make ... READ MORE

Our Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Ice Cream Party

08.23.2013 by Leah // 5 Comments

I had so much fun with our DIY tea party at home last year - the preparations and all - so I promised myself I'll do another small party this year.  My good friend (and also my kumare), Chel, suggested that we hold an Ice Cream Party at home.  That was some months ago but we were able to finalize the date only last July during our trip to Gourmet Farms.  The ice cream party was ...

Ritual: An Organic Grocery Store

05.09.2013 by Leah // 1 Comment

AJ and I were at The Collective again last Friday (after my work)  for a repeat meal at Wingman.  This time, we were  in the company of my cousin, Mae Anne and my second mommy, Mommy Caro, who is also one of our wedding Ninangs. Here they are  getting ready to devour the chicken wings! We had a big, big dinner at Wingman.  We ordered 2 dozens of  chicken wings, a salad, 2 ... READ MORE

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 ❤
