Alas! My brother found a wife


"You are past 30 years old already. You should get yourself a wife!"

I always tell that to my brother, Stephen. From the brood, he's the one closest to me. As a typical Virgo, he's reserved, honest and focused when it comes to work. So, there, after a lot of bullying from me, after a few dates, he finally got a wife!  Thanks to the world wide web. They actually met on line, dated in Manila and Bicol. The relationship blossomed from facebook chats, unlimited globe phone calls, and travels. So, after over a year of chatting and talking and travelling, they decided to tie the knot.

 In one of the small churches in Ermita Street, in Malate, they finally said their I do's. I was in tears. Important occasions like this always made me long for my parents' presence. They could have been proud. The wedding photos will be complete with them around. I get sentimental during occasions like this.

But to you, Stephen and Rose. Two of the most important people in my life - Best wishes - enjoy your journey as a couple - I will just be behind your back - anytime you need me.

Learning to breathe again

Obviously, yes,  every part of my body is aching tonight. Most especially my wrists and my arms. I am not young anymore. I am not that flexible as before. I cannot reach my toes, I cannot lift or twist my body like I used to do, but surprisingly, I still can lift my butt with that certain yoga position, i can do the child's post and keep my balance but definitely, not that locust position. That one in the picture you're looking at, that's after my very first basic yoga class. I asked my yoga teacher to take a photo of me for this blog and as souvenir. A photo that would remind me that I was able to survive my first yoga class. I was able to keep up with the rest of my yoga classmates. I scrambled while following the  instructions of the yoga teacher who can do all the positions with ease, with impeccable balance, with great stamina. What do you expect from a tired Mom? lols!  I work. I am a very busy woman. My body and mind are both working, besides this, I try ...

7 Reasons to Visit Sto. Domingo Albay

Image
From the time I started to love having succulents at home, I never stopped having them. There's this itch that every time I acquire one succulent after another - the desire is insatiable.  I therefore, am a succulent addict. Last Sunday, my day off and "me" time, I decided to visit the nearby town of Sto. Domingo. Roughly, it took me only 20 plus minutes or so, hitched on my friend's motorcycle. The air was breezy, sun is not too hot, it was the perfect weather and it was a perfect ride - where you can smell the fresh air,  mesmerized by the vast green farms, cows grazing and the beautiful Mayon as the background. I first visited the Sto. Domingo church, said a little prayer, then I headed to the supermarket, plaza, and finally the beach! Not only for plants and my love for succulents and nature, I hope the following  reasons might make your trip interesting and worthwhile in Santo Domingo, Albay.                   ...

Delectable Dimsum Treat at The Park Restaurant

Image
Chinese by heart (and  stomach) I studied in a Chinese School from Elementary to High School. My Dad worked with a Chinese boss, Mom was fond of hopia, tikoy and kiamoy, dikiam and  ma-ho. Our family loved Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. Needless to say, although we're definitely not Chinese, but of course,  we know that we might have Chinese blood from our ancestors (or maybe not?), our family seems to have a connection with anything Chinese. The Emperor's Treat With the Bicol Bloggers The last time I remembered I had my fill of dimsum was somewhere along Penafrancia Avenue, now China Bank. There was a Chinese restaurant situated right on spot of that location. I vividly remembered that dumplings were being wheeled around on carts by servers. It's hot and steamy and served in  round basket steamers. Spring Roll Vegetable P150.00 When our family dined in it usually served as out appetizer.  It's ready to eat and served usually in three or four ...
