birthday

Birthdays are meant to celebrate life. life that passed and the life you are going to have. I had a rough start today. Thinking of not going out and just stay at home. I changed my mind. I refused to succumb to this sadness and being alone. I have so many friends who remembered my special day. I got text messages and FB greetings early in the morning. Life is beautiful and intends to celebrate it today with my dear friends. I am not going to sweat the small stuff that makes me lonely. i have so many blessings in life and not to mention a new milestone in my life recently. Cheers and hopefully will get some good time tonight!

lost 4 lbs

i was at the gym yesterday and did my usual routine. tried the treadmill again after 2 weeks of no workout due to my ankle injury. i am so glad i can run again. since i entered i wanted to weight myself but was hesitant. scared to see if i gained weight due to 2 weeks of no workout. after sweating it out for 2 hours i did it...there it is...4 lbs lighter....hooooraaayyy! this definitely gave me more motivation to go ahead with my gym routine.

been watching the dance class and maybe i should try that too. have always wanted to do street dance or some funky moves ever since...this is my chance now. hopefully the instructor will be patient with me. hahaha

i am beginning to like long weekends...more ME time and gym time. done so much this week...some home improvements, got the AC installed, cleaned my closet, shopping and bonding with my little bro.  nothing beats that. =)

Gelato on a Hot Day

Gelatissimo Cafe

2nd Floor, Greenbelt 5, Makati

It's one of those hotest days of the year. After going to the bank and just went out for a walk I stopped by to get a gelato (italian ice cream) to let off some steam. Can't make up my mind which flavor to get..hmmmm

And I ended up getting Forest Berries and Choco Macadamia

Ratings- Taste: 3 out of 5 (didn't like the berry seeds/ peel); Price: 1 scoop = Php 110; 2 scoops = Php 180...sorry didn't notice the price for the rest. you can choose either a cone or cup

Urban Sunday @ Legaspi

On my way to the salon I drove by Legaspi Park and saw the weekend flea market I have always wanted to go to. They have various kinds of great tasting food, fruits, crafts, clothes and practically anything under the sun. The people around are friendly and not the usual flea market people for they have class. Even the tindera's or owners are spanish looking.

I went around to grab some lunch and I ended up getting an eggplant lasagna. For some reason I have been trying to eat healthy and it looks like it fits my taste bud for that day. I never like egg plant before but look like I am beginning to love it. The first time I tried it was at Le Souk where I tasted an eggplant hummus like dip and it was superb. I got some home made ensaymada for pasalubong and some fruits. Will definitely go back there again soon to do some food trip. Yum!
