We've visited this place a few days ago and this is our view from the restaurant we're dining in. It's a foggy afternoon and the view of Taal Volcano is quite visible for a while. We do enjoy the cold temperature and watching the clouds passing by. We had a cup of coffee and a slice of cake, a little chit-chat and laughter with friends, it's all worth the time. Hey it's 1st day of November, let's make the rest of the year a memorable one. Hope you had enough rest this…

Our merienda, we have this Pancit Bihon Guisado (Thin noodles fried in soy sauce with variation of meat and chopped vegetables). A tradition that we have to cook this dish to have a long life as small celebration of my cousin's special day. I love it with quail eggs with pork and chicken meat, one of my favorite dishes that would never resist to eat. Hehe! #Food

It's time to prepare our Christmas decorations. We usually settting up our holiday displays after celebration of All Saints and Souls Day. I love the theme of white Christmas, something shiny, sparkling and silvery. I'm still looking for USB lights so it will shine bright at night. How about you, have you all prepared for decorations at home?

Happy Thursday! Time to eat some dessert! Here's mine, Strawberry and Mango Jubillee Crepe with Ice Cream on top! At lunch time we sneak out in the office for a while to eat some good food. It's been a long time since we go out and have lunch outside, my taste buds wants something sweet and creamy. The presentation is so appetizing, it's also for sharing so we just enjoy the food and it's indeed a delicious one. For me, it's a perfect combination a crepe, fruits and ice…

T.G.I.F. It's time for a quick getaway with my fambam! I'm on leave this Friday, because we have this scheduled trip away from the city. Definitely a no work day and I keep on avoiding work related messages, lol! Surrounded with farm field and more of green crops, the view will make you feel at peace. We're here for 2 days and 1 night only but we enjoy every moment of it, I ride on a bike, do kayaking, swimming and lots of photo ops. Hahha! Can't wait to share more of it…

We stayed on this cabin for a while with my family. The looks of the place was like we're in the other country vibes. Hehe! We had a great time roaming around the place. The weather is too hot, so we've just stay inside the cabin in the morning and eat some food with the aircondition at it's best. Our family loves exploring places we've never been before, it's also our way of spending quality time and escaping from the noise and pollution in the city. We really had a great…

When we're traveling by land, of course we bring Choco with us. Our pet loves to travel too, he's always excited to ride in our car and scared to be left alone so once he hears the engine, he runs outside and jumps on the seat, waiting for us inside. As usual, he likes to be in the window seat so he can see what's on the road. The place we're in, was so spacious and here's Choco, after a short walk, chilling on a bench while watching the sunrise.

Today we celebrate the Wedding Anniversary of my parents. It's a happy feeling to think, that people are still choosing to love inspite of differences, a matter of acceptance and understanding. Truly God knows our hearts. ♥️ We had a simple dinner with the family in the middle of l this city lights view. It's been a while since the last time we ate outside in a restaurant. It's an alfresco dining at the roof deck and there's a wide distance from the other table. We're still…

Comfort Food, Pizza! Ordered Creamy Spinach Pizza and Toppings so Bongga, (hahah! what a name!). Actually, anything with cheese, I'm okay with it, satisfies my cravings and for being hangry (short for hungry and angry, lol!). It's a busy but a productive day for me. I think the 8 hrs in the office is not enough to finish everyting but at least I did my best. Anyways, there's always tomorrow, just need to eat my comfort food for now. What do you consider as comfort food? #Food

I love the message in this photo of clock. I'm so motivated with the idea of work-life balance. Though I'm at my work most of the time, I make sure that I leave everything in my workplace (even work related thoughts) and concentrate on my daily routine when at home. It's important that we have that boundaries, so we can still explore other sides. Let's just enjoy the ride, called life cherish every journey and learn something in every pit stop. Can you say that you have that…

Luscious Chocolate Cake. I have a Patissier friend residing in Baguio City. To my Filipino noise friends, if you happened to be there, you can try her pastries and order through FB page: PanBakes. Here's one of her best sellers, this chocolate cake has the right amount of sweetness, with moist texture and a yummy chocolate filling, perfect for your cravings at an affordable price. If you're looking for a gift idea this Christmas, I would suggest this pastry, the kids and…

Do you know how to ride on a bicycle? I like riding on it just for fun, going around the area without cars passing by around, with fresh air blowing in my hair and a view worth for sight seeing. I drive as fast as I can until I got tired, hehe! So happy to try this again, after so many months. I rarely ride on a bike, we have one in our house but it's a mountain bike and it's too high for me. Nowadays there are lots of bikers I've seen around, they're doing it for work out…

The crazy weather makes us wanna go for a swim in the pool. But we're not here right now, just checking this random pics on my phone. A while ago it's raining a drizzle and after it's a hot weather all over and since it's already getting dark, more cooler than before. It's the much awaited weekend, I'm just lying on the sofa, watching in netflix the whole day. Have you experience that feeling that you're getting tired doing nothing? Lol! Anyways, have a great Saturday!…

I suddenly miss having underwater activities, aside from swimming in the beach I like to see different creatures from the deep blue sea. This one is taken years ago when we visited a turtle sanctuary, we swim with them but prohibited to be too close while taking pictures. What I wanted to see next time is a school of fish and different types of shell fish. Sharing this photo as I'm excited to be in the beach very soon! 😁 #Photography

Quench your thirst! A healthy Monday everyone. I prepared a healthy drink for dinner, I'm not on a diet but there are times I prefer to eat fruits or drink smoothies as a meal. Here's my fresh strawberry and banana smoothie for the win. I like the combination of sweet and light sour taste and the color too. Haha! I also bought a shaker in shopee, very affordable and it's a made with glass. Happy dinner! #Food

Choco's before and after grooming. 🐶 Finally, the much awaited grooming for our dear pet. Haha! He looks good and I like his hair color too, the mix of black and brown, looks like balayage hair coloring or with highlights. We instructed his vet to just trim this part becuase most people love it that way. I think he's happy now, no more tangles and even combing session too. #Pets

Anime Corner: Assasination Classroom I have a long list of anime to watch, but I started with those in Netflix and the series that are already ended. I'm very impatient on waiting for the next season, lol! This one already ended in season 2, with very interesting story. It's about a class that has a mission to assassinate their teacher before the given time. It's difficult one, as they learn to love their teacher and form a bond on him. So many twist, mixed emotions, lesson…

Baked Tahong (Mussels) My favorite way to cook a shell dishes, baked with lots of cheese. It never fails to satisfy my tastebuds and tummy. This is one of the main courses when dine in with my friends, they also love seafoods so we enjoy the food served. #Food

While traveling, we passed by this vast land of greens. A very color friendly and eye catching view. We're from the city, so mostly we see buildings and different structures around, less greenery. This amazing scenery made us think of the hard working farmers and dedication for their labor. Such a nice weather and a good day to relax in the middle of the field with a nipa hut in the center. #TravelPhotographs

Sun, sand and the sea, missing weekend with this awesome view. It's been years since the last time I've swim in a beach resort and I still remember the feeling, walking in the sand, having tan skin, riding in a boat, floating in the water and exploring the deep blue sea. In this place we experienced to camp on the sand, we have our big tent, create a bonfire and sleep together with friends. Such a nice day to reminisce those memories. Our country is slowly bringing back the…

One of the exciting part in traveling is conquering your fear. Here's a throwback photo of me and my friends, riding in a glass floor cable car. This is so much fun but if you have that fear of heights, it's quite bothering and nerve-wracking. We had a great view of the mountain and the panoramic vistas and temples. Hopefully we can have this kind of cable car in our country also to cater the beauty and scenic view of different islands, why not? So happy if that day will…

My sister went to Baguio and I asked her to buy strawberries for us. We have lots in the fridge so I made some shakes, salad and now for my cereals. When I'm lazy to prepare my breakfast I prefer this instant food, just add milk and fruits, I'm good, simple yet healthy. So many things to do with this fruit, I also love it in cake but it's rarely available in here. But is it just me or I don't know why, I don't like it as strawberry jam, kind a weird taste Hehe! How about…

While waiting for my friend, I noticed this Christmas Tree in the office. I like the decorations and the simple color combination that reflects our company's theme. It's nice to see how everyone prepares for the coming holiday season. Though everyone might be a little busy now, let's find some time doing something good and reaching out to other people to make our Christmas more meaningful and blessed. #Motivation/Inspiration

Calamari or Calamares I remember ordering this appetizer, fried squid, dip in tartar sauce but we also like it in vinegar and soy sauce. It's crispy and tasty with tenderized squid, you may want some more, partnered it with rice and it's so good! Everyone of us loves it, maybe because the spices added is just the perfect combination. We tried doing this at home but we can't do it the right way, I don't know why but the coating gets separated with the squid rings when we…

My niece was talking to Choco, she lie down and copying our pet's position too. I'm looking both of them and they're so cute. Haha! Choco loves it when someone is close to him and just staring at him. Most kids likes our pet, because he's friendly and adorable plus he looks like stuffed toy like a teddy bear. 🐶 #Pets #Dog #Shihtzu # FriendlyDog

Another one for the book weekend! We went to Batangas for free diving and we're back to our happy place. This is the place we stay in for a night, a glamping theme. They have bed and pillow inside and a mosquito cover, we call it "kulambo." With cool air and close to nature ambiance a good way to spend the weekend with free diver friends. On the next days, I will share some photo of us underwater, excited to share it with you. Photo Credit from SkinDivePH 📍Binukbok View…

School of fish gathering around. There are lots of colorful fish in the area, but we're so mesmerize and forgot to capture the other. I don't know what are these kinds but it's so fun looking at them like playing together. We've seen these around 10ft. underwater and we're swimming with them until we can hold our breath. Hehe! #UnderwaterShot #Photography #Travel #Freediving

One of the things I'm looking forward to see are the Corals Reefs, underwater. It's quite different this time, sadly corals are not that colorful as before, maybe because of different calamities happened for the past months on this place, like volcanic ashes, tectonic plates movements and pollutions came from the city. But l do appreciate this wonderful view because different species are still striving to live on their habitat. #Corals #Dive #UnderwaterShots #Photography
