What have you learned this month?
- While we were in Japan, the weather was bad, really bad for most of the days. I just learned that it is part of travelling. That we cannot control the weather unless we learn to "dance in the rain". Enjoy every moment because it really counts.
- One thing I've learned while we were there, inspite of a very good weather prediction, God can turn a thunderstorm into a very hot and sunny day. YES, HE can do that! He did on our last day in Kyoto! (*wink*)
- God is the most High and the most powerful. We are blessed to have such a God like that. ♥♥♥

As I've said, I promised myself that I would be eating healthy this year and will live on a healthy lifestyle so I thought of getting this wonderful salad one date night with the Hubby.

Look, who's looking forward to our boodle fight lunch?
Ah yes, the little girl who loves this way of eating is so excited! Even us, the adults are so looking forward to this.
So, come on people, boodle fight starts now! (*wink*)
When my Dad was here it always means one thing - dinner out!
And look, we tried for the first time Gostoso in Kapitolyo Pasig.
And, I'm so glad we did because the food was so good. The kids love it too!
We will definitely be back here and try the other options in their menu.
A slow song for a slow Sunday.
Song by Tom Odell called Heal from the movie soundtrack of If I Stay.
Enjoy the DAY, peeps!
Pretty, please?
Not minding the calories nor the weight that I'm going to gain if I eat this today. Forgetting my healthy diet for a couple of minutes (or maybe hours).
After all, it's FRIDAY! (*wink*)
Here's another unforgettable event I attended a couple of months ago. A new found friend's 43rd Birthday in Edsa Shangrila Hotel.
I was so happy I was invited and I was able to go.
It was a fun birthday party and the food was great!
Happy, happy birthday Neth! Wish you more and more birthdays to come. (*wink*)
After months of trying to plan to eat in this resto, we were finally invited by BIL to try it. Yey!
And we were so glad he did, because we had the most grand time trying out different flavors of MAGNUM.
And look, they even have lunch there too!
Best experience when it comes to dessert.
This resto is a must try! (*wink*)
A couple of months ago there was a looong weekend, so we decided to go on a quick getaway to Morong.
We didn't stay long, we actually stayed only for a day but it was nice to feel the fresh air, smell the sea and relax for a couple of hours.
Thank you for the nice day, Morong, Bataan!
Still on Easter mode, thank you for saving me, Lord.
Have a BLESSED SUNDAY! God Loves us. Let us REJOICE! ♥♥♥
Look what the kids got from their Tito a couple of months ago when he came home from Singapore...
Pink and purple and it comes with pencils, erasers, sharpeners. The kids were ecstatic to receive these gifts. Thanks Tito Dandy! Mwah!
Yes, ever since the year started, I've decided to eat CLEAN and HEALTHY. Here's a proof...
This is the healthy salad that I ordered at CBTL during our bonding with highschool friends. Yes, you got it. A healthy food that was supposed to be a FOOD trip.
So yes, I'm getting there! (*wink*)

Look what I'm munching on today...
It's called a "wife cake" from BIL who just came from a day trip to Hongkong. Yes, it's super YUMMY! Let's eat! (*wink*)

Good thing Holy Week (and fasting) is almost over so we will probably be off to the mall later. (*wink*)
