Chocolate Crinkles

It is funny.. because instead of my younger sister following my footsteps..

I have been following hers! She started baking weeks ago..

And now I followed..

My first batch was a bunch of Oatmeal and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. But I forgot to take photos of them..

Never mind.. here's my second batch..

Chocolate Crinkles filled with melted chocolate inside..

Yum!! :))

Mexico, Hasta Pronto!

Hola Mexico, I will see you next month :)

7 Countries To Go

My Goal is to be able to go to the same number of countries as my age.
But I think my age is flying faster than my flights.

I am already turning 28 next month.
But I have only been to 23 countries.

In 2 years time, I am turning 30.
I have to catch up.
In 2 years time, I should have visited 30 countries as well.

Where shall I go this time?

My Wish List in Random Order:

1. Oman
2. Greece
3. Mexico
4. Egypt
5. New Zealand
6. Norway
7. Chile
8. Antarctica
9. Iceland
10. Seychelles

12. Kazakhstan
13. Botswana
14. Maldives
15. Reunion Island
16. Zambia
17. Czech Republic
18. Montenegro

21.... 22.... 23.... 24.... 25.... 26.... 27.... 28.... 29.... 30....

Just for an Update:

-

This Dream has come true in November 2009 :)

Kagga Kamma in South Africa..

My Dream Destination with My Dream Companion..

The Babies of My Life.. For Now

Bunge at 2

I've been together with these two lovely women for 2 years now..

Giggling, laughing and joking at work..

And riding the Roller Coaster too!

Without them in Bunge.. I wonder what Mondays to Fridays would be like..

Thank you Lord for always closely surrounding me with the most wonderful people..

And for helping me fight against my restlessness..

Hooray! I reached 2 years in Bunge! :)

Luckiest

There is a horizon ahead of us that will always be a mystery..
A past that if we look back.. could cause so much anxiety..

Nevertheless.. whatever we have now is what it is..
Blissful moments that.. one day we may miss..

Or continue to live by..
As our charms would never die.


To the love of my life..

Empire State of Mind

I have always known that Alicia Keys is amazing.. but this song just made me love her!

I don't really miss New York..

I've been there twice - in 2003 and 2005..

And have seen and walked enough of it..

But after listening to this song 20 times over and over again.. just this morning..

Maybe I do miss New York...

Catching Up With..

It's a Saturday Morning and..
For the first time in so long..
I slept very well last night and woke up when it's time..
Undisturbed.

The house is quiet today.
Brandon, his Mommy and Yaya are back in the Philippines.

Ooohhh how I love the silence I have longed for..
Don't get me wrong. I miss Brandon and everyone.
This is just a temporary sanctuary.. with cons of course.
No sounds.. but no breakfast.

Life has been wonderfully busy..
And for the first time in Ages, I have nothing concrete to do today..
Until before dinner time.

So now, I will be catching up with.. Me..

Limbo Rock!

At 27 years old.. I discovered that I could do the Limbo Rock!
It was the first time I played this as an adult..

and.. I won!!!! :))

We won!! :))

Lucky Girl

If these are not my friends.. But somebody else's

I would be really jealous.. envious..

Because that somebody is just too lucky..

But thankfully.. that somebody can be me..

And I am that lucky girl..

To have all these blessings..
Of laughter and nonsense..
The friends..
Who are mine :)
