How often do you treat yourself? I guess it's less than you deprive yourself of getting what you really want. Isn't it?

Adulting is cruel as it seems like we are living in a world with limited space and only the needs are taken into account and put on top priority. But we can't just work and work forever. Oftentimes, we need to reward ourselves for the effort we exerted without breaking the support we give to our loved ones.

We don't need to be extravagant in rewarding ourselves. A simple meal is even enough reward.

Sunday is my only day of unwinding along with other special public holidays. Working sux times a week for more than 10 hours per day is truly exhausting. So I really need a break and some self-treat once in a while. And I believe that I deserve this.

Oftentimes, when I do this, I would set aside my food intolerances and I'll just ready myself for the consequences. That's how I endure my guilty pleasures.

It's been a while since I treated myself to yummy food, and I am somehow fed up eating the same Chinese food each day. So last Sunday, I went to an Italian restaurant and ordered a complete set of food, a veggie salad, some protein and carbs, and a dessert.

And this was the best part of the meal, something I am depriving myself of eating, and one of my guilty pleasures. It isn't a cupcake, but a chocolate ice cream cupcake.

At the end of my meal, I paid HK$66 (around US$9) or almost Php 500. I didn't care about the amount. I just enjoyed my meal. Besides, I missed eating veggie salad and sweets.


After my lunch, I went to my favorite park nearby where I relaxed and stayed the whole afternoon until night.

I don't need any luxurious things or food just to enjoy my day. A simple green tea is enough beside me.

I owned the whole pavilion that day and there was no one but only me staying in it. It gave me chance to do anything and unwind in that place.

The beautiful pond next to it was relaxing along with the chirping of birds and sounds of the water stream.

I wouldn't get bored taking photos of beautiful spots in this park and I wouldn't stop sharing them online over and over again.

The place is full of history and it seems like you'll be diverted to another era while walking along its corridors.

Those reflections are calming and captivating.

And different pavilions are worth capturing.


You wouldn't get tired walking around this park, you'll be relaxed instead. That's how I treat myself. Food and beautiful scenery are enough before I went back to reality again.

There's nothing wrong with treating ourselves sometimes, we deserve it. We also need to take a break from this toxic world once in a while.

That's how my Sunday went. Happy new week everyone.

It's good to treat yourself because you have worked and actually deserved to enjoy yourself. I love those meal you ordered plus the cupcake 🤤🤤 I think I should go for this as I am planning on going out this week for a treat.

I love the park. So quiet being alone. You will have all the moment to yourself before facing reality as you have said.

You are so beautiful and I stole that picture already 😂😂🤣🤣. No apology, Janey...none. 🤣🤣😂😂

You always have simple outfits yet you rock them so well that even the maker of those outfits would be proud.

This is a nice getaway and relaxation spot. In Nigeria we call this "Chopping life" meaning "Enjoyment" 🤩🤩🤩

I think I am just going to take a cue from this and treat myself to something yummy later this week, it has been months since I did that coz I have just been saving everything I earn 😆 I think pizza and some ice cream will do the trick for me

If you ask me, all that food for $9 is not so expensive though. Also, I very much agree with you that we should always give ourselves a treat. I used to do so before, but it has been a while I did. I think that is because I am mostly indoors and hardly go out unless necessary. Maybe a homemade meal perhaps? 🤔🤔😋😋

Truly a nice place and worth sharing. Nice shots the reader are entice to go there too. Parang narating na din ang place through your shots. An occasional treat for ourselves would do wonders for our well being. Sa ganda ng lugar i guess you were able to relax and recharge your energies that will last for long or till your next treat for yourself.

The last time I treated myself was 2019 😆. It's been awhile, I just didn't notice it. However when I was still working and earning I sometimes treat myself on buying some things that I wanted, so I do shop for sometime. Then I also treat myself by eating a new delicious meal. It was really indeed okay to treat ourselves for sometime, specially that we were working so hard and a piece of prize is worthy. Anyway the park was nice, however I have a bad experience staying in the park alone and so I don't usually stay there specially if no one is around 😅

Really a thing I should consider doing too maybe when am off duty, treating ourselves to a special meal or trip is a sure way of regaining and refreshing ourselves. Beautiful scenerios and food. Was laughing when you said, you still ate what you wanted without considering your food intolerance.
