i promise to go back to writing

you see, i wasn't always like this. back when i was in fourth year high school, with a new found blog, i liked writing no matter how superficial and nonchalant i may seem. i used to look forward to it, recalling my thoughts and memories whenever i'm faced with a pen and paper or a desktop PC.

something must have happened along the way: change, growing up, forgetting. i remember writing in my notebook that the day i stop writing is the day i die. i never knew how it turned out like this, i must have feigned busyness with procrastination and neglect.

looking back, 2012 has been a great year thus far: i have traveled, set new goals, celebrated a promotion and is currently learning to be a better person (family relationship-wise). it is unfortunate that i neglected writing since january, but i guess this entry is my new leaf. the "new leaf" allusion similar to the excitement i felt in elementary grade whenever i smell a new pad paper or workbook. besides, september usually gets me perked up with the thought of the holidays and the simbang gabi. plus, october 08 is a good 28 days away and we'll be off again :). so yes, i hope everything turns out rosy.

food blog: banapple

what we ordered: lasagna rolls, banoffee pie, yo-ho cheesecake, tiramisu and (not photographed) strawberry cheesecake

pardon my attempt at food blogging, the cakes (and the food!) at banapple are just sumptuous that it's plain selfish not to share.

our impromptu date landed us at the porch of banapple in katipunan. how we ended there was because of plain whim and sheer excitement of eating something out-of-the-box (sans brooding over the calorie count). i actually forgot half of what we ordered, which is sad since the chicken-tomato sauce-smelling dish ate karla ordered is divine (i think it's parmigiano). i had a plate of baked lasagna rolls but i only managed to finish half of the dish. if i had it my way, i'd probably eat it again at any given day.

i think it's a shame to visit banapple without trying out their desserts and cakes; we sampled four cake slices - banoffee pie, yo-ho cake, tiramisu and strawberry cheesecake. i liked eating the banoffee pie since it does not leave you feeling bloated, but the yo-ho pie is just too good that it's a must try. nothing too special about the tiramisu and strawberry cheesecake though.

birthday month of 3/4 of the family is approaching so i'll definitely persuade my sisters and mom for a lunch date at banapple a few weeks from now. i'll ask them to order what i previously had then order something new for myself hehe. :)

Christmas 2011

i haven't revived (if there is anything to be "revived" to begin with) my writing kick yet which explains the 2-liner and picture posts for the past months, but basically i'm excusing myself for an incoming run-down of my Christmas in photos..again.

obligatory family photos: check

embarrassing-and-unrestrained fangirl-ing (unfortunately): check

obligatory sarcastic greeting cards: check

it will be 2012 in a few so i better be outta here already. cheers to a more blissful new year ahead. God bless :)

wishlist 2011

my wishlist always gets the abuse from the side comments of trolls hehe, i do hope my secret santa got me option number 1 or option number 2 though *fingers cross*. then again, the clinique face powder won't be so bad since i'm trying to be more mindful of how i present myself now *ehem 재피*.

paranoia

ang sakit..

i don't even know why though. maybe because of the could have been and missed opportunity or the fact that i was too paranoid to even worry. for now, i'm going to drown this in blueberry and fathom how the words of my family are sometimes prophetic.
