February.

February must have happened to me all in a midday dream. 

Like a nap, it ended quite longing for that extra snooze, the kind that you never want to end, but still it must. 

It was fleeting in a way I can better describe it, but somehow it ended quite cheerfully. 

I spent half of the month away from my other kids as I was tending to Julia’s medical visit in Manila. 

Shake shack at BGC.

I specifically love the daily walks that I had and the daily masses offered for Julia’s ultimate recovery and healing. 

On my way to the Farmer's Market one Sunday morning.

I must admit, I was on the verge of total weakness from the hullabaloo January brought. 

But February was all about fresh start, new found love, trying something new, believing and fighting for love, trying to be healthy, talking to God in the deepest silence of my heart, watching the sun set amongst the clouds, surviving a flat tire in the middle of nowhere, coming back to work, trying the new coffee beans from land down under, visit from our favorite humans from land down under still, and basically trying to survive life’s surprises one day at a time. 

  

Trying out this trend I found on Instagram.

                                                      Made a big batch of Baked Spaghetti.

Back at work!

Felt so happy when a group of Korean Tourists came to Marta's for dinner and ordered everything Filipino they could find on the menu.

Thank you, Ganna, for my coffee beans from Australia.

Thank you, Tud for visiting us from land down under.

Proud of my little prince!

I say goodbye to February, and I am very excited about March. 

Make haste, March, I am so ready for you.
