Wanderlust: O, Canada!

Wanderlust: O, Canada!

I don’t know about you, but one of my regular pastimes is to search for travel deals, even if taking vacations doesn’t come as easily for Chef as it does for me. So, these searches spike when we know a holiday is coming up. Do you find yourself browsing through Expedia, Jetsetter, Hayes and Jarvis, [...]

Blinks: Spanish Alley

Blinks: Spanish Alley

As I organize and back up millions and millions of pictures, it’s allowed me to catch up on posting on Blinks, which I have not done in so long since last week. I freaked out when I found that my back-up of our Spain pictures were corrupted. I thought, that’s okay, I have burnt them [...]

Blinks: Banka

Blinks: Banka

Once in a while, I like to take somber pictures. A lot of times, somber settings are picturesque. Sure this picture has a somber tone but what it also has, like many somber pictures, is that it somewhat denotes peace. The tranquility of this lone banka takes me to small towns all over the US [...]

Blinks: Frozen Milk + Cream + Sugar

On the Loose: Downtown SF

On the Loose: Downtown SF

Ooooohhhhh…yesterday was definitely a nondomesticated day. I let the finest inadvertently domesticated diva in me roam free around Downtown San Francisco the entire afternoon. I set a date with my cousin, Patticakes, last week for a shopping day in the city and I am so glad that it materialized. My body is aching all over [...]

Blinks: Boracay Boat Ride

Blinks: Boracay Boat Ride

photo: Ms B taken: January 2010 Sometimes, as we get mesmerized by the beauty of our surroundings, we overlook the simple shabby chic elegance of where we stand. I love this picture. This doesn’t best describe Boracay, of course, because you see nothing of the beaches the island is known for. But the colors of this [...]

Blinks: Hope

photo: Um post processing: Ms C taken: January 2010, Caleruega, Philippines In the twenty-something years of my life, I have had one too many pitfalls, one too many setbacks, one too many failures. One too many disappointments, one too many heartaches. Yet, you’ll never see me beaten. You’ll see me shaken up and all, but [...]

Homesick

Homesick

There is so much about moving to a different country than just getting yourself familiar with your surroundings and getting homesick. There is a lot more about it when the sudden change of scenario shows no resemblance at all of the things that you are used to. I grew up in one of the metro [...]
