Food. Travel. Bargain finds. Random thoughts. A bright spot for sharing ideas and starting conversations!

Our British Food Adventure

07.26.2020 by Leah //

To begin with, British food is not complicated.  So drawing up our "foodie list" was the last thing we did when we were planning our UK trip in June last year. It helped too that Netflix was streaming British cooking shows such as "The Big Family Cooking Showdown" and "Million Pound Menu", and watching them gave me a good idea of what to expect in British local food. Truth ... READ MORE

Online Shopping in the Time of Pandemic

07.03.2020 by Leah //

I have stopped doing online shopping for a while not because of bad experiences with sellers, but because I like to be able to actually see, hold, smell or taste the thing I'm going to buy.   The multi-sensory engagement with a retail or bookstore is what makes shopping a fun thing, isn't it?   I mean, who among you here doesn't enjoy stopping by a Jo Malone or Body Shop store ...

UK Adventure Days 7 to 9: Back in London

06.24.2020 by Leah //

Hello all! I hope everyone's safe and well in this pandemic time. I finally found the time and motivation to finish my UK travel diary. How time flies so quickly! Just last year we were busy touring London and Scotland, and then 9 months later this beautiful country, along with all others, closed their borders and put all stops at tourism - for people to just stay home ...

Daddy’s Last Act of Love

05.17.2020 by Leah //

It has been exactly a week since we lost Daddy.  I still could not believe that he is gone.  My memories of his last 21 days are still so vivid and fresh, that I still wake up confused sometimes because I knew I was with him at the hospital.  For 17 days, Daddy and I stayed at the hospital as his calcium serum was found to be abnormally high.  Prior to his confinement, ...

My Birthday Week in Japan

02.16.2020 by Leah //

I'm back, people! Please allow me to do a little detour from my UK travel diary (haven't started with Day 7 yet, but don't worry, matatapos na ang kwento ko dun hehe!) and write about our very recent trip to Japan - where I celebrated my 4_th birthday! That's right. I decided to celebrate my birthday abroad for a change. The idea came about after reading countless ... READ MORE

UK Adventure Day 6: Our FREE Scottish Highlands Hairy Coo Tour

12.30.2019 by Leah //

The year is about to end and I haven't finished my UK travel journal yet, hehe! So here we go. We are now on Day 6 and it was another outdoor tour for us - this time, to the Scottish Highlands! One of the early bookings I made in preparation for our UK trip (and even before we applied for our visas) was the 1-Day Free Scottish Highlands Hairy Coo Tour. To ... READ MORE

UK Adventure Day 5: Exploring the Magical Edinburgh

11.01.2019 by Leah //

We only had 2 days to explore Scotland, the northern part of UK, but it was enough to see the best of Edinburgh and part of the Highlands. Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, with lots of old towns and villages that retained much of their original character as settlements. It's not hard to fall in love with Edinburgh, and now I understand why some of the travelers I know ... READ MORE

UK Adventure Day 4: Covent Garden + Trip to Edinburgh

08.10.2019 by Leah //

We were back at exploring London on our 4th day, and we have the whole morning until mid-afternoon for sightseeing before we depart for Edinburgh (pronounced “Edin-brah”) in Scotland - by high speed train.      Since the St. George Wharf Pier was just a walking distance from Travelodge Hotel in Vauxhall (our home in the last 4 days), our group took ...
