Sinigang na hipon When a restaurant is a two-minute walk away from your house, you start believing you’ve actually been there. Visual psychotic repetition is what I’d like to call it. Wednesday night, we decided to eat out since nobody was up to preparing dinner after the long trip we made to and from Marikina City. My sister and her lovies moved...
Six years ago, my husband brought home a birthday gift for me that left me starry-eyed for a long, long time. I fell in love with it the instant I held it. It also kept me company to a lot of places.
