I am sooooo back

Hello again!!!! 🎉🤗🎊

I’ve been in a long hiatus for 3 years. Mainly because of the ups and downs and ups and downs and down and down again and finally up (i hope so) of my life.

Just an update. I still do interior design. Sometimes. 

I still live in Daet Camarines Norte. Do I still want to go back to manila? Yes. 

I still eat a lot. Thats why I gain weight a lot also. 

I still Bake. I tried experementing and tried to stick to a routine of blogging and baking but failed misserably. Link on my attempt. 

And then I remembered this blog and reminisce of how excited I was. Of how I made a simply complicated life seemed enjoyable to me.

And then it hit me. Maybe if I continue this, I wouldn’t be that misserble all the time anymore. I mean, to be able to appreciate small things and be able to share it, is a big deal for me and who knows may also mean something for somebody else out there. 

So please join me again as I venture on manuvering around life. More posts coming very soooon!

Xoxo,

Gourmet birthday

Oh my! This is such a late post. I forgot I have this on my drafts. 😓 I wouldn't want to waste this post and just forget all of it. Besides this all so good to forget.

Last October 4 we celebrated Lang's birthday by making sandwiches. Yes gourmet sandwiches look complicated and fancy but I was a little surprise that it was really easy.

Lang made all of it though I just participated with the eating part. Hihi!

spiced ham and salami with wheat bread,, lettuce, tomato and cheese,

pretty and calm

I'm more of a neutral girl when it comes to interior design and paints.

I'm more inclined with mocha, taupe, sand, gray

even in clothing I prefer blacks and grays. whereas when I was younger I love bright popping colors. hmm.. sign of aging?? noooooooo...

but I'm beginning to appreciate pastel colors that are soft and girly.

of course this is through the influence of my design partner Suzette who is overly obsessed with pastels and Parisian designs.

here are a few of my inspirations that made me all giddy with pastels.

look at the pretty colors!

 you can deny it all you want, but every girl had that pink phase 

(the love-hate relationship with the color pink)

Girl bonding: SPA TIME

A couple of weeks ago I went back to Manila to celebrate my sister's birthday. And to have some girl bonding time with my favorite cousin in the whole wide world, Janna, whose birthday happen to fall on the same week I'd be in Manila.

She wanted to try to have a nice massage after her hectic schedule and her stressful week. She is by the way a registered nurse and she works as a rescue crew (like a paramedic, I guess) and a clinic nurse at the same time. Nice huh?

Anyway, back to our bonding moment. I'm not a spa addict unlike my friends so i just knew just a couple  of Spa in Manila, and since she told me she's on a budget I asked my friend Kat for any suggestions. She gave a lot, but we decided to try NUAT THAI in Tomas Morato, Quezon City.

We were thinking of how to get there through commuting but we needed to take a lot of jeepney and bus rides to get there so we decided to take a cab.

the birthday girl and me!

Art is fun

Lang is one of the author of design street, she is in charge of the graphic arts we’ve been posting under art-e lang, She’s an HRM graduate turned graphic artist. I really didn’t saw the connection at first but when I visited one of her uncle’s place, where she also grew up, I knew why.

The place was full of artistic stuff. May it be just a simple baboo or coconut shell it becomes art.

Coconut shells carved with faces. All lined up.

Whipped cream disaster

I haven't posted for quite a while, and i'd like to apologize for that. So here's my newest entry.

I know the title is not so optimistic, but trust me there is a rainbow after the rain. Hihi..

So me and my friends, my design street friends, were suppose to be joining a some kind of a street fair here and we were going to sell cupcakes and cookies. But unfortunately the fair was cancelled. :(

I was up till three in the morning baking my contribution for the supposedly fair. Well, my fault since I started really late. I baked cherry Coke cupcakes and milky malt cupcakes which I'll be posting here really soon. I also made additional fondant topper for our chocolate cupcakes with fondant topper variety. 

I did this last so by then I was a little tired and sleepy.. 

I did the rest of the red angry bird toppers that I have prepared the day before and was ready to make the blue one since it is the easiest when I realized I took the wrong fondant bucket. The bucket contains no white fondant or blue, but only pink!

So I tried doing the new character of the angry birds which is the pink, a girl.

It was a little complicated because of the eyelids and the lashes but...
