Simply obsessed

via
Different people would have different passions in life. Some are obsessed with clothes, others with books, some people would scour the farthest corners of the earth to find the most priceless antiques while some people may be passionate not with things but with relationships or hobbies. Personally, I am a type of person that likes variety in my life however, if asked what I cannot live without, I think I have that fairly narrowed down.

• On top of my list would be my honey…. There is just no way that I can satiate my zeal to be always with him. He reminds me of Edward Cullen’s line in the Twilight Saga saying Bella “is her brand of heroine”. I think honey is also my kind of heroine. Good thing I don’t crave for his blood, haha.

• Family and friends would steal the second spot of the things that I simply cannot live without. There is just no way for me to survive without having the support, company and presence of these wonderful people. They make my life more colorful and animated.

• Travel would definitely be something that I am obsessed about. What excites me about travelling is the fact that I get to explore a new place and I get exposed to a new culture. I also love those days leading to the date of travel as well. I find it exhilarating when I search, high and low, for information that would make my travel even more memorable and fun. There is an undeniable pleasure each time you find a gem of a place that you know you would want to keep coming back to.

• Whipping up a piece of sugary heaven is also a passion I’ve discovered just recently. There is a huge satisfaction in hearing people’s compliments after feasting on a concoction that you have labored on for hours. However, the greatest joy I get when baking is seeing the pretty little masterpiece that I have carefully prepared for a loved one, that’s even better than the sugar high one gets from these pastries.

• At the end of a gory week at work, there is nothing else that I want more than to cuddle up with honey on our sofa or in bed, with a bag of chips or a bowl of our favorite fruits and watch a movie from our collection of DVDs. I am a fanatic when it comes to movies and I enjoy movie houses a lot, however, there is nothing more relaxing and invigorating than enjoying an old favorite cuddled up and in the comforts of our own home.

Giddy, that is the only word that I can use to describe the feeling I’m left with every time I’m able to spend time with all these obsessions that I harbor in my life. I must say for an addiction, they made my life a lot healthier.

Dilemma

via

I know it’s still like a gazillion months away before we go back to Manila, but honey and I are already trying to make arrangements for the trips that we want to make when we’re in the Philippines. The reason for this is because we wanted to take our entire family to a trip. This is where our dilemma begins. I really have two destinations in mind for our family holiday, Ilocos or Boracay. I’ve been in both places before and I remember having a grand time. I was leaning towards Ilocos because honey has never been there but honey is inclined to choose Boracay because he knows that the kids and the kids at heart would have all sorts of stuff to do.

Since we’re talking of a very big group here (around 20-25 people) and of different age brackets, honey and I would have to consider a place where everyone would have something to enjoy. Another factor to consider is the package deals that are offered, since we’re a big group, might as well make use of the purchasing power and make sure that we’re getting the best value for our money.

I know that honey and I are looking at a big project but I’m really hoping that we pull off this entire shebang coz I know it’s gonna be a lot of fun.

If you have any suggestions on where best to eat, stay or any spots that is a must visit in these two places, it would be greatly appreciated as it will help us make the final decision. Thanks

Getting Hitched

One of the most memorable events in my life would definitely have to be the day when honey proposed to me. It has been almost 4 years ago and yet, every time I remember it, I still get giddy and I get butterflies in my stomach. Oh it was so romantic and to have experienced a proposal twice, I think, is rare. It’s a priceless memory that I hold very close to my heart and would relate to my kids and my kids’ kids tirelessly.

The reason for this sudden trip down the memory lane is because of Maria’s tag. She candidly shares the day she agreed to spend the rest of her life with her hubby and she invited me to share my memories of the day when I decided to spend the rest of my life with my one true love. As I have said, I’ve reminisced about it quite often and have blogged about the entire story before. Since that faithful day, I have never looked back. It has been pure marital bliss and I couldn’t be more thankful.
