Day 97: Your Typical Breakfast
April 7, 2011
This may have been the simplest breakfast there is. Hot dog, egg, fried rice and coffee.

Day 95: Stuffed Toys Galore
April 5, 2011
It's like finding treasures. I love looking at stuffed toys, they look like they want me to buy them all.
Day 94: Current Read
April 4, 2011
I'm loving Lisa Kleypas now. I'm half way reading through Smooth Talking Stranger. I want my own Jack Travis.
Day 93: Bouquet of Roses
April 3, 2011
My mom bought these at the market. I don't usually like roses but these were an exception.
Day 92: Dinner at OT
April 2, 2011
We transferred to our new Reading room and after an exhausting day of tranferring tables, chairs, filing cabinets, we had no choice but to still stay until 10pm to prepare our students' activities for Monday. Our dinner: a super late Mcdo delivery. We called around 7:50 and our dinner was delivered at 9:25pm.
Day 91: April's Fools Day
April 1, 2011
I was surprised when I saw this while I was checking my student's worsheets. Uh oh Jonas...you lack "L" in April.
Day 90: Wild Orchid
March 31, 2011
It's actually not a wild flower, I'm just not sure if what kind of an orchid this is.
Day 89: Apples Apples Apples
March 30, 2011
Looking at these luscious apples makes me want to hoard them. If only apples are my favorite...

Day 88: Milk Shake-It
March 29, 2011
Love love love this! I could have this every day for a week and still want more.
Day 87: Spaghetti Lover
March 28, 2011
My mom prepared pasta for dinner. I love spaghetti in red sauce. It brings out the child in me. I even had a Spanish cheese roll to go with it.
Day 86: Sepia Moment
March 27, 2011
This photo caught my eye while dining at Shakey's. I wonder if it's one the first Shakey's restaurants here in the country.
Day 85: Happy Store
March 26, 2011
This is one of those stores where I just love browsing through and ending up buying some. I love the soft colors of the interior of this store. It's very homey. It just needs a couch or bench and you'll feel right at home.
Day 84: Twinkles
March 25, 2011
What a nice way to start the day just by looking at these colorful stars, err cereal.
Day 83: Imitation Nonetheless
March 24, 2011
Bought this Wild Berry sanitizer at Watsons just because it looks exactly like a PocketBac, only cheaper.
Day 82: All About Fries
March 23, 2011
Took this picture in the midst of watching Sara-Gerald's latest flick. Too bad I didn't order the largest one. I had Honey Mustard and Ranch for dip.
Day 81: Ice Cold
This time I tried the Mango-Melon of Frutas while watching Alvin and the Chipmunks 2.

Day 80: Twin-Kiddo
Meet Wish Bear and Best Friend Bear. When I was young-er, my sister loved Rainbow Brite while I was a huge fan of Care Bears. I remember singing the introduction song in every episode. I even knew their names. However my all time favorite was Fun Shine Bear. Too bad she's not around.
Day 79: Alone
I'm never a rose person. Some would think I'm the type to like roses but I don't. I would prefer daisies and hibiscus. When I saw this, it was the only bloom in the bunch. I just had to capture the beauty of this lone flower.
Though hibiscus is not my all time favorite, it reminds me of my childhood. My childhood friends would get one or two from our neighbor then crush it on a can or glass. Add water and little bit of soap and voila! We had our very own bubble hibiscus!
Day 78: Bon Appetit
Good food and good company with a table full of people who I enjoy talking with. Having lunch is always a treat for all of us teachers.
Day 76: Cone Heads
This sort of cone head bushes looks really neat. I find them fascinating whenever I pass by.
Day 74: I ♥ Muffin
I'm not very picky when it comes to food. I happen to see this raspberry streusel while doing our grocery.

Day 73: My Dolphin Ring
I wear this almost every day. My best friend gave this to me a couple of years ago from Palawan. She knows how much I love dolphins.
Day 72: Beautiful Day
Today is definitely one of the best! I woke up feeling good despite of having five hours of sleep. It was a fine weather. I relish the day when I don't have to wake up early, read the Sunday newspaper while sipping coffee.
Days like this need to be cherished.

Day 71: Thinking Time
Krylle is one of the youngest in my students. He is also the moodiest of them all. I love it when he pouts, and I love it more when he smiles. He's so adorable I just want to take him home.
Day 70: Bedtime Stories
I honestly believe that reading bedtime stories will make kids appreciate books more. It will foster love of reading. The kids will also appreciate your time together and will see this as your bonding time together. The kids will look forward to sleeping at night too.
Day 68: To the Infinity and Beyond
Carl's glass accessory: BUZZ LIGHTYEAR! He talks about Toy Story 3 (which I haven't seen yet) nonstop. I really can't relate. Last I've seen was part one and that was eons ago so I forgot most of the characters.
Day 67: My Midnight Snack
I snapped a shot of my coffee and brownies while browsing the web. I get to stay up really late every Tuesdays and this snack helps me get through it.
Day 66: Colors Galore
Just seeing my color pens brighten my day! I always want them sharp that every time after I use them, they have to be sharpened. Just like today. I felt the need to color my coloring book. YES, I have a coloring book. I do that whenever the mood strikes me, whenever I need to think, to calm down.

Day 65: Sundays At Tiffany's
I'm currently reading James Patterson's Sundays at Tiffany's. I'm such a sucker for happy endings.Thanks for the copy Dianne!
Day 64: Sweet Tooth
My students are fattening me up. I swear, they are showering me with so much chocolates. These were given by my grade 4 student, Jonas.
Day 63: Paint the Town Pink
I don't usually experiment with nail polish. I basically stick to neutral colors. This one is my favorite. What a better way to celebrate the once "girl" in me by painting my nails pink!

Day 62: Lights Out
Day 61: Girls' Night Out
I met some friends today. It was pouring outside, unusual, since the day has been really sunny. I love having coffee with friends. This is the time when we get to relax and indulge ourselves with good food, amazing coffee, and endless conversation. We've decided to meet at least once a month so we can catch up with one another. One of them has been recently married so she was entertaining us about how married life for her was.
I had an English Toffee Latte and a Tobleron Cream Cheese to go with it. The cream cheese was heavenly! I was so full because the slice was huge. I would think it was good for two people and I finished it in the 3 hours that we stayed in the coffee shop.
Day 60: Hello March
Off to the first quarter of the year. It's also my birth month so I'm pretty excited. March for me is a sure sign that summer is just around the corner. I will finally have my Wednesdays and weekends all to myself! That's what I'm looking forward to.
Day 59: Goodbye February
My tribute to February. Not only they were red, heart-shaped but they're also chocolates! What more can you ask for?
Day 58: Bazaar
It's such a lazy Sunday, even the weather's going to agree with me. I almost decided not to tutor. On my way out I passed by this mini bazaar. I was drawn to these chimes, if you would call it that. I would love it if those things that dangle make tilting sound, but unfortunately they don't.
Day 57: Happy
Think happy thoughts. I always advise this to myself, more like a mantra when the going gets tough. I avoid stress as much as possible. I don't usually dwell on things that would upset me. I'm typically cheerful most of the times.
So think happy thoughts sisters!

Day 56: My First Cross-Stitch
This is the first cross-stitch I've ever finished. I started with an angel though I never finished it. Then I started again with something about sunset. It was still on hold, which I plan to get into as soon as I have time (again). I'm proud of this one though.
At one point, I wondered what it would feel living in a cottage like this. No phone, no laptop, no Ipod, no electricity. Like living here would be miles away from civilization. If I could have trees, plants, and birds around me, I would live here. If I could have fresh air, I would. If I could have peace of mind, I could. What about you?
Day 55: I Miss
I miss Yuta. He is the brother of my student JM but they already went to Japan. There has never been a dull moment for this 6 year-old boy. There was a time when he felt "sick" and really tried to vomit just to get out of tutoring. When asked about the lesson, he would deliberately talk about something else. He's just a darling.

Day 54: Unwritten
My lola gave me a journal when I was already working. According to her, I was the only one among all her grandchildren who takes after her love of reading and writing. She said nothing could distract me when I am reading, which was so like her. However, I never get to write anything on the journal that she gave me. Then I bought another one, and just last Christmas my student Shaun gave me one too.
If only I could buy time. Then maybe one day I could just drag it out from my bedside table and just write, write, and write some more.
Day 53: Just Another Day
After a busy day at work, it felt so good to take off my shoes and curl up on my bed. This shoes was a testament how excruciating my day was. We had a change in the routine at the center which confused our students, us as well. But enough of that, at least I get to have a mid-week break.
Day 52: Comfort Food
My mom's cooking never fails. There's just something about her dish that makes me want to kearn it, but then again, I've always been so good at just tasting them. This one puts a smile on my face before and after having it.
Day 51: Movie Time
I love Sundays! This is because I get to watch one or two movies while munching on my favorite snack. For today, it's Fruitas (Banana Smoothie) and Cheetos.

Day 50: Inspire
Sleep as long as you need to. Celebrate your half-birthdays. Take time for every dream. These are some lines that I particularly like in this book. What makes me like it more is that I don't have to read it in order. I can just flip though the pages and read them leisurely.
