Happiness is A Cup of Coffee

This isn't just a cup of coffee.  It's a cup of coffee made with love.  It's late at night and I was about to start my shift when my husband brought me this hot mug of instant Cappuccino and to my surprise, a chocolate heart!  ~Sweet~

We Like Our New Home!

After the long hiatus, I'm back to blogging as it is one of the things I truly enjoy doing. It's been almost two months now since we moved out.  We like our new home. It's a comfortable place to live in. There's a bit of an outdoor space where our dear dogs can be free and play or rather, wrestle with each other. It has good ventilation and view. We can breathe fresh air throughout the day.

It's a humble home and we're very happy that we made the move. I'm excited to decorate each space one step at a time. I can't wait to incorporate those beautiful interior design ideas I see online with my own style.   Meanwhile, there are still boxes that must be unpacked, stuff that needs arranging, plenty of cleaning up to do, and loads of work to be done.

Our dogs look happy! I think they like to have a view of the skies, trees, neighbors and other dogs. Well, who wouldn't?  So here are some shots of my cute furry creatures that I would like to share with you.  These photos never fail to make me smile. Hope they can make you smile too :)

Boracay Summer 2011

It was around this time last year when we made the trip to Boracay! It was surely one of the most memorable summers I've ever had and one that I will treasure for life! The place was wonderful but what made the trip even more amazing was that we were a family of nine enjoying the sun, the beach, the food, the good weather. . . we were having a blast and enjoying each others' company and love.

We got the chance to try out some thrilling activities for the first time.  I think for most of us in the group, it was the first time we ever tried snorkeling, banana-boat riding, helmet diving, and sailing. Everything went perfect for us that week and we spent four fantastic days on the beach.

Prior to this trip, I am not a huge fan of traveling because I often suffer from motion sickness whether I'm traveling by car, plane, or boat.  However, I am now more willing to brave these challenges to discover new places and gain new experiences.  It is such a pleasurable feeling to be awed by nature, to breathe fresh air, and unwind.  Of course, traveling with people you love makes the trip even more worthwhile. 

Oh, those good, old, lazy days.  I couldn't help but hear a soundtrack in my head.  Weezer was singing.  "On an island in the sun, we'll be playing and having fun, and it makes me feel so fine I can't control my brain..."

I'm waiting for the next time when we will be exploring another beautiful destination with my family.  I certainly hope we could do this again.... soon :)
