I haven’t blogged in a really long while because A LOT has happened. A LOT seems so vague now. In a gist, I went to the United States, celebrated my birthday there, had management training, shopped, saw the White House and got hospitalized. Yes, the last statement was true. Of all the fortunate things that can happen to me and of all the places – it happened in the US. I was confined for one-and-a-half day at the hospital. It was really quite a short time but the incident left me feeling weak for about a week. The big deal really is not being hospitalized; I believe it has triggered in me a complicated set of emotions which is best summed up in one concept: quarter life crisis. Yes, I am still suffering from that. Still being the operative and important word. I hope it’s enough of an excuse for being so lazy to blog. I still have several things to write about: escapades; life realizations, future plans, pending Christmas season, wish list and of course my food mishaps and adventures.

1st row: Barnes & Noble - heaven for a book lover like me; me at Nordstrom (a local mall); autumn
2nd row: WashingtonMonument; me riding the Metro; the White House
3rd row: Residence Inn by Marriott (where I stayed); Tara Thai - my fave resto there!; dinner at The Macaroni Grill with colleagues
Back home, the Christmas promo of Starbucks has started already. I've started already although I am not really that keen in spending more than P2K for a planner. But being the planner-obsessed person that I am - let's see if I can complete the collection of stickers.
Kung sawa ka na sa cake o cupcake bilang regalo sa isang okasyon, nasubukan mo na ba ang donuts na hugis paletra? Isang kakaiba at masarap na pahiwatig ng kahit anong mensahe.
Ito ay pinagawa ko sa Cello's Doughnuts and Dips sa may Taft Avenue (katapat ng La Salle). Lasang tinapay ang doughnuts nila, subalit matamis ang mga flavor sa ibabaw.

I bought the pieces of luggage that I would be bringing on my trip to the US and Canada. I bought two pieces of luggage at a really cheap price (about P2200 – yup it was that cheap). The luggages weigh 50 and 30 lbs. I was really supposed to buy just a 50lbs luggage from Voyager which costs about P2100 but they no longer offer free duffel bags. It was something I am after. I gave in to the sales talk of buying those cheap luggages. I inspected those luggages very well and I knew that of course, it wasn’t as good as that of Voyager. However, I thought they were okay and since they were cheaper, I opted to buying them. I am really crossing my fingers that they would last my trip and I can still go back to the Philippines without having to buy new luggage.
I got this from Toni. Something to perk up my gloomy day - and it worked!

Sana nga ang mga ito ay mahiwagang lampara, subalit hindi yata. Ang mga ito ay nakita ko sa pagkain ko sa Taj sa may Tagaytay. Ang sarap ng pagkaing Indian, maanghang at malinamnam. Lubos na umaapaw sa ibat-ibang lasa.
Maganda ang dekorayson ng lugar. Kakaiba at kaaya-aya sa paningin. Sa isang taong malawak ang imahinasyon, mararamdamang mong ikaw ay nasa ibang lugar. Ang sarap kumain habang ang mata ay nabubusog sa magagandang paligid.
