Rain, Cold Feet & Such

Reconnecting...

Lil Bug & Such

Muscles aching a bit, runny nose, bitter taste in the mouth, heavy, sore throat, and a bit of coughing. It started with a headache the other day. A mild bug has

Monday Calls [for Productivity]

Magandang buhay💛 'Tis a sunny Monday in DD, yay! Three laid-back days went by, and today should be different. My muscles are already aching to get active after

The Egg & Such

The hubby had asked me a few times before if I wanted an egg (boiled, scrambled, poached, fried, etc) on my cereal oatmeal, and I always said no. That's a weird

BC Mart

The hubby asked me yesterday afternoon if I really wanted a small new house. He knew it all too well, since I have been outspoken about it even after our first home

Another Day, Another Bloom

Magandang buhay💛 So our hump day turned out to be another active day out of the house since the drizzle dissipated sometime around mid-morning. We didn't want to

Lost in the First Bloom

Magandang buhay💚 Waking up a bit late on a lazy Sunday, I went for a brisk walk outside, which got me spellbound. Peeking in the corner was the first ruffled bloom

Change What You're Looking At

If you don't like the reflection, change what you're looking at, the saying goes. But because I loved what I saw this morning, I didn't do much physical movement

Sweet Delights, Rain & Such

The hubby had a quick drive to the other town yesterday afternoon for the truck's clutch thingy. He said he could replace the rubber himself, so off he went after

Shadows Aren't As They Appear To Be

Henry David Thoreau puts it that an early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day, and it is! That's what I'm discovering anyway, as I'm making it a habit to

Lil Surprises in the Backyard

Magandang buhay 💛 Waking up to a bright morning, my feet led me outside to get sun-vit. It's always nice to have some of it when the sun's rays are still gentle
