An Afternoon Tea, Mariage Frères Style

08.21.2015 by Leah // 8 Comments

The next time you find yourself at Century City Mall, do stop by Lartizan Boulangerie Francaise and have a salon de the experience with their très abordable Le The d'Apres-Midi (Afternoon Tea). Thought you couldn't get more French than the eclair and macaron on the menu?  Wait till you see their wide selection of Mariage Frères premium leaf teas.  Yes, Mariage Frères, as ... READ MORE

More Happy Times @ Christmas 2013

I've just finished doing back-up of my photos from last year's Christmas, and thought of rounding up some photos to summarize everything else that kept me busy during the holidays.  It's not just the holiday feast (which I wrote about here) that made it merry, but the precious time I spent with my  family, good friends and lovable inaanaks!   Here are some more snippets ...

Birthday High: Tea Time at TWG Tea Salon and Boutique

02.15.2013 by Leah // 2 Comments

One of my birthday wishes for this year is to finally experience tea time at TWG Tea Salon and Boutique in Greenbelt 5.    And I got my birthday wish last Saturday when AJ and I were able to score seats for us and my college close pal - and now AJ's Starwars buddy - Pia. We took up Pia's suggestion to try 5 tea varieties - a mix of black, green and fruit teas - and started ... READ MORE

Sweet Birthday Gifts

02.13.2013 by Leah // Leave a Comment

It's been a week since my birthday and I am still feeling high over the (almost) week-long celebration I had!    Not to mention the sweet gifts I got from my family and friends =) From AJ, I got this FitFlop pair in perfect pewter color.  I've been eyeing this pair for some time and I'm so happy I now have it! I prefer these slide Fitflop sandals over thongs.   It's ... READ MORE

A Sumptuous Birthday!

02.11.2013 by Leah // 6 Comments

I celebrated my _ _th birthday last week in a very quiet but food-filled way.    It fell on a weekday and I took the day off from work so I can relax, hear mass and spend a quiet dinner with my family (which turned out to be not-so-quiet!).    I chose the newly-opened Watami at Glorietta 5 for my birthday dinner because it's new and  for a fully serviced Japanese restaurant, ...

Another Afternoon Tea Break

01.05.2013 by Leah // 2 Comments

AJ and I managed to take a little break from the holiday rush last week, and holed up at the lounge of the New World Hotel in Makati for a simple afternoon tea. Simple because we just had some English Breakfast tea (it's TWG, natch!) and scones from the hotel.      The English Breakfast tea from TWG was divine and luxurious, but the scones were ...

#throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I t #throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I took mommy and daddy to a double date at Rockwell Powerplant. Today is daddy's 11th month in heaven 💜 The coming weeks are sure going be tough for me because the painful memories from last year will start coming back as we approach his 1st death anniversary. I miss our family bonding time whether in Cebu or Makati, at the mall or simply at home. The over-extended quarantine has made it very difficult for us create new memories as a family (outside videocalls, that is). But I know that with God's grace we will overcome. 🙏

More than half of the leaves dried up.  But look, new buds have started to say 'Hi' just last week 🤗 Need talaga ng patience kapag #plantita ka. 😁
