The hubby and I celebrated our wedding anniversary last May with a staycation at Oakwood Premier (Joy-Nostalg Center) in Ortigas.  We were supposed to go back to Taal Vista and stay there overnight, but I saw this great deal at Agoda.com and for the same hotel rate at Taal Vista, we got to stay at Oakwood Premier’s deluxe service apartment (94 sqm.) complete with a working ...

I love trying out buffet restaurants, so when my Ninang Caro invited me, AJ and my cousin Mae to have dinner at The Food Club last month (to celebrate her birthday), we said yes right away!

#throwback to June 2019 when we visited Windsor Ca #throwback to June 2019 when we visited Windsor Castle as part of our 9-day tour of UK and Scotland. We were also able to tour the many grand rooms inside the castle, and then walked to St. George's Chapel. Watching the funeral of Prince Philip yesterday made me reminisce about our UK trip. The Quire inside St. George Chapel (where the mass and lowering of the coffin were held) looked so wide on-screen. But actually, when I was there I was surprised to find that black-and-white checkered aisle so narrow and compact. I have no souvenir photos of me inside the Quire because taking photos is strictly prohibited. But there's a beautiful altar behind it where we offered candles and prayers. RIP Prince Philip 🙏 #England #windsorcastle
Watched too many 'Top Chef' episodes this week at Watched too many 'Top Chef' episodes this week at Netflix, so I was craving for duck tonight 😁 The Aburi Duck from @ikomaistreet is the perfect choice for me because I prefer the usual smoked duck but this one's half broiled only, so it's still a little pink but very tender, with very clean taste. I love the sauce and the brown Japanese rice that came with it. Will definitely order this again (and share na with @ajdeleon77😜)
@_catcaaat now likes to invade my work station, ma @_catcaaat now likes to invade my work station, making faces or parking himself beside (or over!) my laptop as if saying, 'Hey, take a break.' I think he can sense it if I'm stressed, and needed a break from my work laptop. Anyway, get down na Catcaaat!

The Kalachuchi painting in the mug is really pretty and relaxing to look at, making this my favorite morning cup now. Thank you Ms. @hephepyeye for helping me get the mugs! The other one I gave to my mommy 😊
