Pretty date of the day

Lemon meringue tart

Strawberry mille-feuille

Blueberry flan

Cafe-platter // creme brulee + chocolate cake + mango/matcha mini macarons + cappuccino

Both of us really love the desserts here though they are slightly pricey but definitely worth it!

Only decent pic we managed to take together <3

Thank you, for the royce's champagne pierre mignon nama (though you said you want to get it but I know you're not an exact big fan of chocz)

Manhatten's 1-for-1 lunch deal, seafood aglio olio (without mussels)

Monday didn't feel like one today. What's blues when you get to spend the whole day fruitfully with your fav girls crazily singing k and happily munching as and when we like it? Well, we're always as happy as we choose to be, and I'll do it this way too. Good week ahead to all, goodnight x! :>

The open letter

This is a letter to me, you, everyone and anyone else who's still reading this space of mine.

People who are dearly close to me these days would have clearly known what I've been really struggling through. A rather hysterical and impactful huge blow which I'd have never imagined myself to be going through but it happened, viciously. At that very moment, when I dawned upon the ugly truth, my heart didn't drop immediately, it went numb. I didn't know how to react, how to feel, how to accept and it really felt as though my heart died for a moment.

I was finding all means and ways to get a closure for myself. I did everything my way, the way which I thought would be the best for myself. I decided to get rid of everything that will remind me of this wreck. I really managed to do it and felt a lot better with the constant encouragement and emotional support from my friends and family... Not until I got a piece of news which made me feel like digging out the truth . Some may think it's pointless and asked me, will it change anything and does it really matter? Yes, I agreed it won't change anything but it did matter because you just want to know the truth. However, curiosity killed the cat, it hit me real hard because that was the very first time, I got insulted terribly by someone (whom has completely no idea of how this entire situation is).

Mad, upset, lost and all the mixed emotions came crumbling up. I knew I really have to put a stop to this complete mess and I had to get myself out of this misery. Trust me, that wasn't a cinch. Initially I thought avoiding it, getting distractions and reminding myself that I'm strong will be the best remedy but no. It was only when I finally burst out in tears and had a good cry after an accumulation of what I've been trying to feel that I felt that I'm near to the closure that I've been trying to find.

A relationship or what people name it as 'love', it's all about accepting, compromising, giving and taking to someone whom you truly want to be with. If things don't work the way you want it to be, it probably isn't meant to be at that point of your life. This is for the person who insulted me, you've to be clear of the situation and it's a fact that everything takes two hands to clap. You've no rights and you're in no position to judge when you're clearly just a third party. And sometimes, sorry has no meaning when you've incurred hurt to someone, intentionally or unintentionally.

And this is for you, the person who gave me this huge blow. I don't hate you and I won't despite what you've done. Like I've said, sorry means nothing sometimes but I'm choosing to forgive because that's what I can do best for myself. It's meaningless holding onto the bad because I'll only bring myself into misery. I'm glad I've put in my 100% and the best that I could because I wouldn't have any regrets if I happen to look back at it someday.

Now, I see all these as a blessing because I've realized I deserve better than this. I deserve someone who will accept me for who I am, love me the way I am and will never give up despite the obstacles. I've also realized who are those who will really be there for me, who are those whom I can fully trust and who are the true friends who won't judge me at all. I'm thankful too, for those who believe in me and gave me the best moral support and encouragement.

Everything definitely happened for a reason, and you'll only know the reason when everything is placed perfectly for you.

TCC

Hi world, life has caught up a lot with me recently. Too much for me to handle and accept that I chose to stay out of the social media for quite sometime and thus explaining this exceptionally late post! Anyway, don't you worry (don't you worry, child~), I'm back on track.

Let me recall, spent a good evening with one of my fav girls, juting at TCC about two weeks back. This is definitely our usual custom every year during GSS period because they will have a 1-for-1 promotion but they only allow members to enjoy this privilege this year, sadly.

Seafood aglio olio

Scallop with tobiko pasta in shimeiji sauce (can't really remember the name)

Thanks for always being a good listening ear and a pillar of support, xoxo <3

First step

Things I've learned today:

1. Bravely face those things that you feel like avoiding. It could be anything at any point of time but be brave, face them yourself.

2. I've never fancied reading (except browsing thought catalog and tumblr sometimes) but today I actually wanted to head to the library so bad to get some books to read. They can actually be really beneficial.

3. Always look on the bright side of life.

4. Certain things happened for a reason, it can be any reason but always remember, there's always a reason.

Hopefully these will be helpful to those who aren't feeling optimistic about anything that you're facing in life right now. Because if I can do, you can too! Cheerios (:

Cream cheese turned out better than I thought but slightly watery because I stupidly added pinches of milk but nevertheless fruitful day spent, more baking session to come soon! :>

Rich inner lives

"I feel like women are generally more deep than men because they have this deep ocean of emotional thoughts underneath the surface. A sensitive person is going to run into more conflicts in life than a confident person, and conflict leads to growth and getting to new levels of understanding life. To me, being a woman means being free to explore everything that happens to me, to talk about it with friends, to ask question and listen to what other people have to say. I’m not expected to be in control and I use it to my advantage."

P.S: I need some ideas for baking, suggestions anyone? (:

Flea party

Look at what the annoying one did to my phone and ended up laughing like a lunatic at his own picture! 

Cute little ang moh girl from the nearby booth stood infront of my booth and started playing the bows :>

 And at last got to meet agnes <3

To be honest, I've expected that flea party at lucky plaza won't be as good as those I've had at other venues like st james, scape and etc because firstly there are a lot pinoys, secondly they love to haggle a lot and lastly the crowd wasn't good at all even though it's a saturday.

Till then, x.
