With so many unpaved roads and long distance places to explore in the country, a big vehicle that can traverse over rocks and holes is one ideal ride for adventurers.

Long intro but what I meant was: I want a Land Rover! 😀

Of course this means the vehicle should have mechanical breakdown insurance which I know won’t be needed for a long time with this mean machine.

I have a mental list of places I want to discover but these are too far and too rough to go too. I hope we get to see these before they get explored and “abused”.

Now, if only I can afford a Land Rover…

I can dream can I? 😀

Barbecue Chicken Fillet with Java Rice from The Chocolate Kiss Cafe in UP Diliman.

Pan-grilled chicken breast fillet marinated in barbecue sauce served with Java Rice. P190.00  |  Or served with garlic mashed potatoes. P210.00

I love this because I love barbecue flavor and we always use chicken fillet meat at home. I think this partners well with Coke 🙂

Perfect for a lunch date with friends.

Halo-halo, shaved ice with sweetened and cooked fruit toppings, topped with leche flan and/or ice cream, made even sweeter with sugar and milk. This is a Chowking Halo-halo.

This is what my youngest daughter and I shared before going home when she went with me to work.

I didn’t even think about the nuphedragen review I read 😉

I do not even want to think how much sugar there is in there, we just enjoyed the treat and the tongue freeze that this Chowking Halo-halo gave 😀

I was sorting through so many photos when I noticed something. I am rarely in the photos.

No, not because I always have acne, which incidentally, I have one that popped up a few days ago. Argh!

Almost always, I am the one taking photos and I tend to forget to ask one of the children to take a photo with me in it. I hope when the children are all grown up they won’t think I didn’t want to have photos taken with them 😀

I plan to do general cleaning of the house this summer and discard things that haven’t been used for the longest time: clothes, toys, books, old magazines and even old chunky computers that hubby seems to have been attached to.

I want to discard the eldest daughter’s old notebooks too but hubby won’t hear of it. So there, I need a lot of containers for these things, like printed boxes, plastic containers (the ones with small wheels) and more clear plastic to put some of the clothes in.

I hope to muster enough willpower to start these Herculean tasks rather than fight annoying zombies wanting to eat my brains 😀

Years ago, I told myself that I will take note of doors and take photos too.

I just found out that I haven’t done a lot of picture taking of doors, door handles, door hardware, any door fixtures or anything related to real doors.

Why should this even be significant for me?

Doors are symbolic. These can mean “opening up” or self-discovery, or missed opportunities, maybe a welcoming door, or a closing one.

Doors may mean coming inside the confines of a place someone else holds dear. Or going out of this door.

Whatever these doors symbolize is a personal issue.

Helen Keller said:

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”
