one of my first posts in 2011 was a delighted -- yay, boots! when i wore my fitflop boots for the first time...


this month, i am back to blogging and in boots (both old and new, and with y in boots too!)...wink, wink!



and since i have been rummaging my closet for all the oooooooooold clothes and shoes i kept for the past decade (or so), i am keeping my fingers crossed hoping to find the first pair of boots i bought when i was still a student...good luck to me :)

My A.H. delusions

While watching "Breakfast at Tiffany's" on a long-haul flight last December 2012, I fell asleep with this scene in mind...

Image from Google


I guess the scene went straight into my subconcious because while we were strolling at a theme park a few days later, I saw this decorative jewelry shop window, and I had to convince the Big Boy to take a photo of me with the churros the Little Boy was eating.

(It was embarrassing trying to describe the effect I wanted to someone who does not see any hint of resemblance between me and Audrey Hepburn (hihi), and torturous as it was like 10 degrees Centigrade, but very windy and felt like zero, and I had to take off my jacket so I don't look very fat, and over the protest of the Little Boy who wanted his churros back.)

So, after several re-takes, I finally settled for this....



Wahaha!  I know, Audrey Hepburn lang ang peg.  But putting it bluntly, it was delusional wahahaha!!!

xoxo, Y

Busog Trip 15: The Thai Kitchen

An immediate family invited us to lunch one weekend. It was at Robinson's  Galleria. The joint  was called The Thai Kitchen. It was a buffet eat all you can set up. 




Thai food is tied to spices and when I say spices, the term includes hot and strong to nose and mouth watering

I tried their Thai Mango salad and placed a little corn kernel to add some sweetness. I almost choked when I chewed a bit of labuyo. Oh boy, it was the toughest part of eating- recovering from the numbness that the spices gave your tongue. I almost asked for an electric fan to cool down my taste buds.

Of course, the authenticity of a Thai resto is defined by its rendition of Pad Thai. It was alright...only there's something missing from the toppings. Could it be the peanuts or the greens. I really dont know if it's because of the labuyo I chewed. Something is missing.

Next is the spicy squid ( I never learned). One thing unforgettable is their rice cake/ pudding with ripe mango. Oh it's heavenly. It made me forget that I was tracking my calories.

Over- all it was the experience and the moment I spent with family  that made the lunch date unforgettable.
