let’s talk about collecting

Collecting things will make you happy. It is a want, not a need. You sometimes tell yourself ,“I deserve these” after working so hard. Do you agree?

remaining. a few have been bought

new Spode plates

If there's one thing that I'm frustrated when it comes to reaching for my goals this year is my capacity to save up. I'm not performing well in this area. I bought new teacups and plates for my collection. Again. Huhu.

Royal Albert Old Country roses

I  love receiving food gifts. Those yummy Hopia buns with pastillas like fillings are given to us by one of our staff.  He bought it in Sta. Rita, Pampanga. I'm a sucker for native delicacies lalo na yung di pa gaano commercialized. 

Hello, Monday!

Waking up to a sunshiny day is my cue for a photo opportunity. Sasayangin mo ba ang natural light?

Faffing

I’ve been meaning to arrange some of my home decors around the house. Wala lang. It’s a sort of therapy na for me. I like moving things around on a regular basis. I’m a frustrated interior decorator so this is my way of letting off my so called failed dream. I have my whole house as my ‘laboratory’. Experiment lang ng experiment.

22 degrees

We’ve been enjoying this kind of weather since the last two weeks of January. It is cool for our standards being in a tropical country. Our average is a 30+ degree kind of temperature. 

Sometimes when you’re too busy, you tend to not give attention to the little things, such as having a great weather like what we had today. I’m happy I got to document it. :)

Yay on a Monday

Spell h-a-p-p-i-n-e-s-s on a Monday... :D

The French open Men's finals

June 7, 2015

I had an early celebration. I used my precious china while watching the Men's Singles Final. I was rooting for the world no. 1, Novak Djokovic against Stan Wawrinka. Novak will make history if he'll win this one. He would have been the seventh man to win a Career Grand Slam in tennis history. This was the most elusive Grand slam title for Novak because Rafael Nadal, the King of clay always dominate this event. 

Green tea + Black Forest cake

I partied too early. Stan was the better athlete. Novak incurred too many errors. I'm so saaaad...

Royal Albert teacup

May 30, 2015

A Saturday, I woke up wanting to go to Rustan's Shangrila to buy a Royal Albert teacup. I've been controlling myself for the longest time. I tried to convince myself that it isn't practical. It isn't a need, it's a want. I've talked about this before. But talagang hinihila ako ng tukso. Napagod na rin siguro ako sa pabalik balik na 'window shopping' sa Rustan's and Instagram.
