Wanderlust: HK Disneyland

I may have said this a million times: I haven’t had a vacation since October 2009. And I haven’t buried my feet in the sand since April….also 2009. Sad, sad, sad! I have been browsing through old photos of family trips and I delved into the first (and so far, only) family trip we took [...]

Wanderlust: California Adventure, Anaheim CA

Blinks: Buko for Sale

photo: Ms B taken: January 2010, Boracay, Philippines Summer’s over in the Philippines, and it definitely began today here at the other side of the world.

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.

The Beach
