Slim's, Exam, Cesar Gaupo

Today I am so happy! I passed my tests today, *sobrang kaba at pray talaga* YES! Finally! I will take a break this December and will go back in January.

I am happier because I saw some of Cesar Gaupo's works. Nakakainspire.

Check out Cesar Gaupo's creations at Slim's. I thought I missed it.

Filipino Spirit is stronger than Yolanda

This brought me a smile. Around the world, everyone is praying for the safety of Philippines due to super typhoon, Yolanda.

Marriage isn't for you

I read something wonderful last night. I will not summarize it, I want you to read it. The title is interesting enough to read the whole thing. "Marriage isn't for you by Seth Adam Smith"

I would like to share a project I recently made for Ms. Claire. It is something new to me and I am happy to be part of it.  It's not for Miriam College this time, it's for her wedding. *touched*

On All Soul's Day

Today we visited our father's tomb.  We always come visit on November 2nd instead of the 1st. It was his death anniversary as well on October 30. He's missed but we know he's already in a happy place.  We were supposed to go in Loyola to visit the grandparents and other relatives; however, it was crowded, so we decided to come back tomorrow.

We went  to Shopwise then Eastwood Mall afterwards. So it felt like Sunday actually.

My sister is always the photographer :)
Gourmet goodies for foodies ;)

Adorable train in the mall

Feeling the Christmas season already :D
