Buildings and Architecture. I'm so impressed with the different architectural wonder in other countries. When we visited this place, the famous and luxurious building will catch your attention because of it's uniqueness and opulent design. The place has a lot to offer from luxury shopping boutique to high end amenities. Every corner is a picture perfect to capture, so every angle is worthy to take. --------------------------------------------------- Hey let's welcome the…

First time to see this kind of poultry, I searched for the name and its called helmeted guineafowl. Usually found in Western and African countries, we're delighted to see these roaming around the farm. With its distinctive color and unfamiliar sounds, they got our attention and we tried to capture one but failed. Haha! 😅

Up, Up and Away. Yey its Sarurday! Weekend is here! Riding on a swing is such an exciting experience, especially if the scenery has this good view. But hey, my grip is really tight holding the rope, I'm slightly afraid if it's go higher. Haha! Such a breathtaking sight to relax and exquisite place to have a break for a while. I miss this paradise and I miss doing adventures. How about you, what did you miss the most when traveling? Food, scenery, adventures, people etc.…

The Xinshe Castle A great place to walk around and feel the good vibes of old European Castle. Have a slow & easy way of relaxation, we enjoy the fresh air and scenery. Though it rain for a while we haven't explored the place that much due to time constrain, but it doesn't stop us to take loy of pictures around. Nothing much to do here but our eyes are filled with the beauty of nature, good architecture and a serene place to stay. 📍Xinshe Castle, Taichung Taiwan - 2019

I've been wanting avocado for the past few weeks. At last the tree on our backyard finally bear lots of fruits. I'm already thinking of different recipes to try and been waiting few days until it ripes. I'll be probably doing avocado with milk and tapioca, avocado spread in sandwich and avocado salad. So excited to try and eat all of these! Do you have other suggestion on what to do with avocado? Share with me and I would love to try.

The Greenery It's a refreshing feeling to see trees everywhere. A natural way to cool off and a fresh air to breath is such a liberating feeling. It's good that we rest for a while, away from the busy city and isolated from the noisy street. Being close to nature is one of the best way to feel the serenity and peaceful mind.

City Lights The city view and the lights are the perfect combination for sight seeing at night. I remember the day we're taking pictures in this high place, after that we just enjoy staring at this magnificent view. 📍Nangang District Hiking Trails, Elephant Mountain, Taiwan

Strawberry MilkShake This crazy weather makes me crave for some ice cold drink. The other day it's raining so hard that I thought it will brought flood on the street, but yesterday it's freakin' hot again so I made this. We have some cookies and cream flavored ice cream and a friend bought some strawberries so let's mix everything, milkshake ftw! Have a cool Thursday. 😎

Going healthy and fab! ♥️ Avocado Toast and Kimbap! A mix of Mexican and Korean cuisine with Filipino touch. Haha! The kimbap was given by a friend (so blessed to have a generous and foody friends), it's so good and flavorful with japanese mayo dip, I almost finish everything. For my avocado toast, let me share with you this guacamole recipe I learned from google. Guacamole: It's made of mashed avocado, olive oil, garlic, red onion, a spoonful of lemon, salt and pepper.…

Here's Choco, staring at me waiting for me to sleep. There are times I wonder what they're thinking when gazing on us, did they want to say something?! Haha! But whatever it is, it's just a nice feeling when you're in eye to eye contact with them. It's like playing who will be the first one to blink, of course I cannot win. 😅

Bamboo Raft and Lake Tour. A serene, refreshing and relaxing place to spend the weekend. An experience where you can eat your meal in the raft while traversing the lake.

Mango Bravo! What's your favorite cake flavor? So many delicious variants to choose from nowadays. And so exciting to see different kinds when you're on the store. A cake from Conti's Restaurant, my brother's birthday cake. As a description from their store, this cake made with layers of soft butter cake and meringue wafers, covered in luscious cream and topped with yellow mangoes. A drizzle of chocolate syrup completes this go-to celebration cake. One of our favorite cakes…

There are times that I'm feeling so tired thinking that it's Monday again. But what I do, is telling myself it's okay to get tired as long as I'm still focus on what I want to do and I wanna do it again and again. Don't lose hope, life maybe exhausting but we have to face it and believe we can overcome it. Sharing this another variety of Rainbow Pink or China Pink. This color is a calming one, signifies love and kindness. Hope you had an amazing Monday before the day ends!

Natural Stream Water Will you jump on this river? I did. Though I have an idea how deep it is, I'm very much excited when it comes to adventure in the water. I feel like a good swimmer even if I'm not, just the basic on survival swimming. 😅 When there's green surroundings it satisfies the eyes and the sounds of the river flowing relaxes my mind. That feeling when you're bonding with nature. 📍Sabang River, Siquior Philippines -2017

Fruity and Healthy Smoothie We have these fruits at home so I made some shake. It's dragon fruit, strawberry and banana smoothie. I just mix everything and here it is. I like the color very feminine haha! and the taste is good, I didn't add any sweetener because I like it purely fresh fruit juice. Cheers!
@jhessy
Honey Citron and Ginger Tea The weather is so unpredicatable lately, there are times it's really hot then now it's cold and raining. Luckily, we have this drink, you can just add hot or cold water depending on how you like it. I usually saw this in Korean store, but this one was given my sister. The taste is more of tangy and sweet.

White Temple One of the picturesque temple I've seen in Thailand. Though this was just the side view, the main entrance really has a great religious depiction. An incredible detail on the outside, stunning designs if you look at it closely, and the amazing white color makes it glow in daytime. This temple is indeed a work of art and its overwhelming presence makes the place a worth to visit even it's far from the capital. There is a fantastic atmosphere in here and it's…

TRESE Have you tried to watch the series TRESE on Netflix? It's a story of Filipino folklore and culture with some crime investigating twist and supernatural forces. I watched the first season though I find it a little bit lack of excitement but the story is interesting. I'll give it a try to read the comics, so a friend lend me these books. I used to read manga, especially when anime excites me on what will happen next. But I wanted to know more on how it goes, since others…

Dimsum What's your favorite dimsum? Whenever we're dining at Chinese restaurant, ordering dimsum is a must. We love hakao, pork ribs and chicken feet, it's always present on our meal while waiting for the main dish.

Have a Blessed Sunday! A gothic designed church build during Spanish-colonial period. The exterior has a magnificent detailed and the interior has a beautiful dome and mural. It venerates female saints, so that's the most statues you can se inside. Happy Sunday, let us thank God for blessing us abundantly. Always share your blessings and never get tired of helping people around you. God is good, have a faith filled day. 📍St. Anne Parish Church, Molo Iloilo - 2018

Soju, a distilled liquior drink from Korea. I learned this from watching Kdrama. Haha! The different flavours made it more interesting to taste. Got this from my sister after 7/11 store 50% off sale last weekend. I like the green grape flavor among the rest. Well for now, it's just for display only becuase we seldom drink and only intended for special occasion. Hoarding because it's cheaper. 😅

Riding in a Kayak Boat is really a fun filled activity. We're looking forward doing kayaking whenever we go to the beach. Though it's quite hard to control at first, but definitely you will enjoy if you get the rhythm of paddling. I struggle on my first try, but I've travel far when I learned. Always wear life vest for extra safety and you can float in case it flips. Oh at the end of the day, you will just feel that tiring body/arms after doing such, but at least you enjoy.
@jhessy
What do you collect when you travel? I have lots of souvenirs brought to home when I travel, some are clothes, keychains, magnets, food and other things that catch my interest. Here's some clothes I bought from different places in the Philippines. And I'm proud to conquer these city and province. Before pandemic, holiday means travel time for me and my friends or family. We make sure that it will be fun packed and exciting one! Have a relaxing holiday everyone.

Shabu Shabu and Beef Strips for this rainy weather. The soup is so flavorful with laksa and satè as the broth, this will really warm your tummy. We just put everything in the bowl, forgot to make it picture worthy becuase we're hungry that time, lol! but it taste good and just the right mix of seasoning.
@jhessy
When Choco is tired to see hoomans, I let him talk to Venice the siberian husky stuffed toy. Lol! He keeps on howling like telling something to this toy, I wonder what their topic is, maybe me. Haha! It's a rainy afternoon, indeed a bed weather. 🛌 Keep safe everyone!

Chinese Temple A historical temple in the country, built hundreds of years ago. The place is busy and bustling with people praying and lighting incense when we visited. It brings interesting looks on faith on this modern times. It's worth a visit of you're a temple enthusiast, the hall and the altar has the unique designs and lots of food offerings. There are times when we're traveling and its rainy season, this is one time we get caught by it. Gratefully, it's not too heavy…

Late breakfast due to cold weather. Here's my cereal with melon and strawberry, no heavy breakfast on weekends. I woke up late since no work for today. It was still raining since last night, most of the streets are flooded. And there's a strong earthquake this early morning, oh no! what's happening. Praying that soon this will get over. Keep safe and have a restful weekend.
@jhessy
Whenever I can't sleep, just like now, I'm listening to this playlist. My mind calms and my spirit is lifted, turn your prayers into worship and make your faith into praise. Image from Spotify Playlist, here are dozens of my favorite religious songs. Have a good night!

Pineapple and Banana Smoothie I keep on experimenting combining fruits available in our home. This one is a fiber rich drink that is so good for our tummy. Also a good source of vitamins C, since we need it nowadays. Just mix pineapple, banana and 1/4 cup of pinapple juice, that's it! Cheers! Enjoy.
@jhessy
Key Chain Do you like personalized gifts? I appreciate it very much, as it means it was specially made for you. I remember a friend gave this keychain to me copying it from one of my pictures. Though not exactly the same features but the whole get up is superb.
@jhessy
Have some fruits! Here are some grapes, a good source of antioxidants that may prevent chronic diseases. It was bought by my father in the market, very sweet and tasty, I like it more when a little crisp and firm fresh juicy. Nowadays it's important that we have natural food at home, especially fruits and veggies because health should always be our priority.
@jhessy
This is it Pansit! What's your favorite type of noodles? Mine is "bihon," here's our snack for today, Stir Fried Thin Noodles with some pork, shrimp and veggies. They say this kind of dish is a must for birthday celebrations, for long life. Tara, kain tayo. ☺️

Be Yourself. Reminder, you cannot please everyone, don't change for them, live the best you can be. Always do what you think is better and let God guide you on the right path. Be grateful no matter what happened today, everyday is a blessing whether we experience good or bad what matter's most is we learned something new.
@jhessy
Cucumber with Vinegar I really want some chips or something salty to eat, but because its raining and can't go outside, I just check our fridge and find some cucumber. A bit crunchy and somehow satisfies my cravings for a while. 😅 Yes it's healthy, but sometimes do you also feel that you want something like "junk" foods? Haha! I'm feeling it right now, so I'll grab one later.

Morning Grind. Back to my weekend routine, 1hr of yoga and cardio exercise. After a stressful weekdays, time to unwind and do good for a healthy lifestyle. In the picture is my yoga mat and 2lbs weight dumbbells, inspired by weightlifting olympics gold medalist from our country. Haha! Kidding aside, I've been using this for years for a simple arm lifting only. 😅 Have a great weekend Noise peeps.
