Sunflower Cupcake

I miss updating this blog! Well, dieting and exercising can be time consuming, but I will definitely try to maximize my time and manage it wisely so I can do everything I need to do.

Anyway, my picture share today is a cupcake given to sister when she (and mom) attended a wedding. The couple did give out souvenirs (pictures and small potted plants), but some of the guests were able to receive some cupcakes, too, which my sister decided to take home.

I photographed the cake the time sister handed it to me, but I got to taste the cake the day after. I only ate half of it - just so I would know how it taste like. I love how pastry artists are becoming more and more talented with their ways of presenting cupcakes. I hope next time I can see a cupcake with a quarter moon topper. :)

Brush Time!

I never really had a favorite toothpaste until I used this - the Colgate Fresh Confidence in green. It's not so minty... and I just find myself brushing my teeth longer than the usual because I love how it feels in the mouth. I still don't know why Colgate products aren't widely available in SM Supermarkets, but it's a good thing that there's Watson where we can buy our toothpaste. :)

I brush my teeth every after meal as I find it a good way to lessen my cravings, as we know food would taste bad when you eat right after brushing the teeth, and personally, one more reason why I can't eat even an hour after brushing the teeth is because I feel the food would ruin the minty feel in my mouth. Hahaha.

Thunderbird Resorts

My share this week are pictures taken last March, when sister and I went to the Thunderbird Resorts in Poro Point (San Fernando, La Union). It gained popularity because of its Santorini (Greece) like features, but it gained more popularity when actor/host John Estrada married beauty queen Priscilla Mereilles, and when it was featured in the movie "No Other Woman," the highest grossing Filipino film of all time.

When sister and I went there, security was a bit strict because it was the day after John & Priscilla's wedding, and we were told there were still some VIPs at the resort. We were still allowed to get in, thank heavens. :)

Sister and I watched the sunset as we ate our own slice of cake. Olives Restaurant sells cakes for p150 each with unlimited coffee, and because I wasn't able to try it the last time I was there, I took this chance to try it.

It's a good thing that even if the resort is 5 star, they still allow outsiders like us to come in, although of course, we can't use some facilities - we can only eat the restaurant and go to the boardwalk. Still, entering is reason enough for us to go there over and over. I think every time we travel to La Union, we will try to visit the resort.

Easy Pha-Max Wheatgrass Drink

After sharing the mango coffee cooler yesterday, let's go for something healthy. :)


I was blessed to receive a lot of goodies from the Blogapalooza, and one of which was a goodie pack from Easy Pha-Max. It contained four kinds of powdered drink, and sister chose the original one.

Even if this was the basic of all drinks, it actually tasted okay for me. Wheatgrass has so many health benefits, but it's still difficult for me to include this in my daily food intake because I find it quite pricey.

From Our Morning Walk

Making another two-in-one post, I always forget to post my MYM post on a Sunday.




Sister and I went out Saturday morning to walk and jog. Since this was our day to be out and "be one with nature," I took my camera with me, so I can capture images that would take my interest.

However, we saw rain clouds from afar, and it was actually raining at our would be destination. We had to cut our walk and take a different route, but we still was able to get in touch with nature, because of these pictures.

I took this near the neighborhood's chapel. The yellow flower looked a bit like squash's but am not sure if it's the same plant as I still haven't seen a squash flower that looked like this (ones I saw had a little pointy petal tips).

I sure hope this weekend the skies will be clear so sis and I can enjoy a much longer walk, and jog as well.

Brown Snake

I just resized, watermarked, and uploaded pictures from Zoobic Safari on my Facebook account, and I just realized there were quite a lot of brown images there, so today, I share to you a picture of a brown snake. The Zoobic Safari had different attractions, and this was taken at the Serpentarium.

No need to worry, though, the snakes were housed in different terrariums. Although, I'd say I had a difficult time taking pictures as the place was so dark and I can't turn on the flash as the light would bounce off.

Still, it was a fun day out.
