If you've been to Ilog Maria's Honeybee Farm in Silang, Cavite then you've probably seen this gated "house" outside Ilog Maria - covered with potted plants and baby trees. Last month when AJ and I went to Ilog Maria to buy more of their natural bee pollen (which we take daily), we made sure to check out this gated "house", which we learned from friends was a little convent ...

The observance of Ramadan always remind ... READ MORE

A Sunday Well Spent

I can't believe it's gonna be Monday already.  It felt like I had only a day off from work this week because I worked at home yesterday to finish a policy paper that's due before the 15th of this month. It's a good thing AJ scheduled the car check-up also yesterday so we decided to take it easy and just stay at home.  We cooked dinner and enjoyed the Royce Nama Chocolate as ... READ MORE

A Different Dining Room at Gourmet Farms

07.21.2013 by Leah // 1 Comment

Three (3) Sundays ago, AJ and I went to Silang, Cavite with my good friend and kumare, Chel and her mom, Tita Chit.   We were there on a "secret mission" (will tell you when it's a done deal hehe!) and Tita Chit and Chel invited us to have lunch at The Dining Room at Gourmet Farms. It was my first time to be there, and I was totally "enchanted" by the place.   I love the ... 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 ❤
