Maître Truffle


Love this praline chocolate from Belgium. To me this are true meaning of "life is like a box of chocolate you'll never know what you will get". Maître Truffle chocolate flavors include cherry, coffee, hazelnut among others. 

I got this from our office cafeteria last Valentine's day as a treat for myself since no one will give me, hehehe.

Winter Halo

Last night almost all the post in Facebook wast how lovely the moon was. Curious I look out in the window, it was a little bit late so moon was not visible through window.  I was already in bed so I was lazy to go out to see the moon but one post said its a phenomenon so I dragged myself outside in the cold and check out the moon. At first I said what's the difference it's the same moon I see. Then I try to widen my vision and then I saw what was everybody's talking about. There's a big ring sorrounding the moon, it looks like an alien spaceship at the top of the moon! Akala ko alien invasion na parang sa mga pelikula. Hahaha!

Winter Halo or moon ring occurs when ice crystals in the clouds  or atmosphere are reflected.



Here's the picture I got from Wikipedia

Welcome 2014!!!

Yey it's the new year and i'm posting again after almost a year since my last post. 2013 have its Ups and Downs (particularly towards the end of the year--but hey let's move forward!). As for me it was a year of retail therapy (both fash--ioon and gadgets), deepening new friendships, and the most memorable was I finally received my diploma on Graduate Studies. Ten years in the making--finished my coursework on time but the thesis really dragged my completion but finally after 5 years of writing and revisions my professors finally approved it.

Despite the disaster that shook the country (earthquake in Bohol and super typhoon in Leyte) I hope 2014 will bring us good luck, joy and happiness.

To start the year, let me share the book by Noreen Capili, Parang Kayo Pero Hindi. It is a collection of short stories detailing complications of pseudo relationships. I think a lot of people can relate with the different scenarios or stories in this compilation. According to the author, the entries were based on true-stories but were altered to protect people involved and to enhanced the creative writing. You can also visit Capili's blog. The book is very popular (and sold-out), as of this writing the book will be on its 3rd printing, when in fact it was just launched last September 2013.



And to end the post, will like to share the photo of Granda's Special Sansrival. One of the best sansrival I've tasted and I gave them as a Christmas gift. ( you will never go wrong with food!)
