Sunset at Julio's.

Every sunset, reminds me of tomorrow's sunrise.


“When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator”

A happy marriage has the tranquility of a lovely sunset.

Vintage Find.

I have a goody bag. I went to a very cozy store called Things from the USA here in Ormoc City. I knew who the owner was because she is my Mama's friend and I always see her since I was a kid. She had so many wonderful vintage pieces. Her lamps was pretty as ever but I just couldn't afford it plus, it won't sound so good if ever I find myself spending too much when my wedding is bound to happen in 3 months... Oh my. Time flies.

A soap dish. It's a lovely ornament as it is.

A candle light lamp. White and Dainty. This I can afford, but those hanging Lamps, I can't. I wish I could, someday...

A nice and sturdy Candelabra. This is a perfect Vintage Find. It is kinda heavy. I now, have a couple of Candelabras from different vintage shops.

This is my favorite from the bunch. It now rests on my bathroom beside my sink. In the old times, they would actually wash their face or their hands through this. How lady like must have been those people from the old times.

My Vintage collection grows and grows. Like love, it grows.

My Chocolate Surprise.

I've always been a fan of Cupcakes. There's just a very melancholic feeling every time I take a little bite of it. It has this soothing taste that calms you and energizes you completely. I know I am not making any sense here but if you are an ultimate fan of cupcakes, you would simply understand.

Back when I was studying Culinary, I would stop by at this Cupcake store every time 1.) When I perfected a score in my major exams, 2.) When I did miss a point or two thus not giving me a perfect score in exams, 3.) When I feel stressed out from school, 4.) When I get upset with anything, like about how my day ends, 5.) When I am super happy that I would celebrate it with me, myself and I. And it goes on and on...

I have been a fan of her cupcakes (Cupcakes by Sonja) every since I first tried it and no other cupcake store could beat hers. I tried the most famous ones in the states, but I was disappointed. Cupcakes by Sonja are just so delicious and lovely.

So, I tried to make cupcakes over the years but I never did like the outcome. There was always a flaw but of course others couldn't tell, but I could easily know what it was, from frosting to the base... But it was exactly a week before my 26th birthday that I made a Chocolate Cupcake with Chocolate frosting that made me so delightful. I never tasted it, I just brought it to my cousin's house for we had a little tea party and to my surprise, they all couldn't get enough of it. They loved it! So, I tasted it for myself and found a wonderful creation that I just made. I was so happy!

That is the reason why I am calling it, Chocolate Surprise. :)

Sundae-Sunday.

There are just times like this time of the day that you crave for exactly a single thing. Today is Sunday and I am craving for a Sundae. How cool and weird is that all together?

It was raining like crazy last night, but today the sun came out and it shined fairly on us. With all the heat going on, I suddenly thought of a Sundae with warm hot chocolate fudge. Oh my.... I should be dieting for my wedding is also 3 months away.

I am just craving, I wouldn't want to eat ice cream nowadays anyway, but Sundae?

The Land of Smile.

Things that caught my eye in Bangkok, Thailand.

I suppose this men in orange-colored robes are monks or some Buddhist Priest. I really don't know why the color orange, there must be some beliefs associated with it. I see some men wearing the same outfit in Guam 2 years before.


The Floating Market. You literally ride those little boats and shop 'till you drop, I suppose.


Fresh fruits on sale.


One of the best things I've ever had in Bangkok was the Mango Sticky Rice. My good friend Nadine had posted this wonderful dish in her Facebook and I can't stop thinking of it that I had to find it there, and so I did. :)


A picturesque old Elephant. I love Elephants already. They are so huge yet precious. This was taken during the Elephant Show. We rode the Elephants too. It was an amazing experience.


Snippets of Bangkok at night. This bridge was so beautiful all lit up at night.



Bangkok at night time.


One of the many temples in Bangkok.


I wish I had heard of this bells clanging - but I didn't.


I love the roof design of this temple which I learned was made especially for the queen. Very dainty.
