A Saccharine Life

Hi Everyone, I turned 33 last March something (people close to me would know the date :P). I thought I was just turning 32! And then I realized, it was already 2015, and doing the math (although I hate math), I should really be 33.  Why???! How???! I must be insane in the membrane. Anyway, let's not dwell into that.  [Pause...] Why???! How???! We decided early morning, that we will not celebrate anymore because we bought a brand new t.v. the day before and our pockets were almost empty. Our CRT t.v. was already dying, and it was a step we had to take. O.O (Pat on the back there for finally owning a t.v. beyond the caveman age.)   Daddy had a struck of conscience though of us not celebrating my 33rd (why? how?) birthday. So we decided to have dinner at King-bee, Manggahan. And since it was my birthday, I got to order the dishes I really want (ergo no pure vegetable dish). Haha! Waiting for her favorite Chicharap (yeah, the name's from Chowking;...

Hi Everyone, Pinto Art Museum captivated me effortlessly. The entrance fee of Php150.00 per person was so worth it. It housed a massive collection of paintings, sculptures and art installations. It was a visual feast for anyone who stepped into its doors.  There was a little chapel near the entrance of the Museum. It was very simple. When I entered, it felt like it was only God and me there. There was also a building dedicated for the indigenous art. It was mostly  oohs  and  aahs  as we looked into one art creation after another. The largest painting in the museum was " Karnabal ". I had a hard time fitting this painting in the camera. We almost missed this wing (because we did not make use of the map that was given to us). Good thing, Mama Dolly roamed around the area while Daddy and I were resting.  This was my favorite section of the gallery because the paintings here are more modern, "funkier"; there was a happier less...

Hi Everyone, "... tayo na sa Antipolo, at duo'y maligo tayo, sa batis na kung tawagin... ay Hinulugang Taktak." We had an early family bonding activity this March. Since March is my birthday month, I was able to sway Daddy to visit Pinto Art Museum. I've been wanting to visit this gallery since January, but Antipolo seemed far just to visit a gallery.  It was our first time to visit Antipolo as a family. I've been here when I was a kid, but I have a very faint memory of that trip. Our itinerary included visit to the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage, eat at My Pot Restaurant, visit Pinto Art Museum, and Hinulugang Taktak. It took us 2 hours to reach our first destination because of heavy traffic in Cavite and EDSA.  When we got to the National Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage, a Holy Mass was being celebrated. We were lucky because it was their Archbishop who was officiating it. When I stood inside the church, I felt warmth coming from my...

Hi Everyone, I have been remiss with my blogging duties. I have a lot to share with you in the next days. :) February was a blur. Time flew so fast! We had a series of family celebrations and bondings for this month. There's Sofia's birthday, Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year, and visit with old friends. We had celebrated Sofia's 3rd birthday at Blue Bay Walk last February 13, 2015. She had a blast because her cousins were there to play with her. :) I also was in for a surprise because Daddy gave me a bouquet of flowers for the first time of our being together. Yes, that's true, but it did not bother me since I am not a flower-kind of person :D  My siblings-in-law and I were listening to the band playing when I noticed that he was gone for quite some time. When I was about to look for him, I saw him walking towards me with the bouquet in his hands. My heart skipped a beat.  Nakakakilig pa rin pala ang ganu'ng moment.  I really appreciated my husban...
