Exactly one month ago, this Tiffany blue box came totally unexpected.

It was my husband’s Christmas present and I was taken aback as I thought this would have been a fitting gift for our incoming wedding anniversary – five months from now.

What’s inside the box? Something pretty and brilliant! (for my eyes only or maybe you’ll [...]

Tranquil Christmas Celebration

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 05:56:28 +0000

Christmas eve was spent quietly at home – just me and my husband. It was a big departure from past Christmas eves wherein we have consistently celebrated with family and friends at my sister’s home on Long Island. It was too quiet, I kind of missed the big party which normally lasted till 1:00 in [...]

Fresh-Cut Christmas Tree

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 02:39:50 +0000

Who says you can avail of a fresh-cut Christmas tree only from a Nursery?

See? And yes, they even offer free delivery! You can see this on a sidewalk in Chelsea, New York City. The immediate periphery where the trees are set up smells really awesome. Nothing beats the wonderfully fresh pine smell.

I must admit that [...]

Santa Showed Up Too Early

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 05:52:16 +0000

As expected, the city (Manhattan) was festive last Saturday. It was steaming with people and although, it was hard to navigate around within certain areas, we had a lot of fun.

In between going about with our big project (yes, it’s still in the works *frustrating, if I may add* and I have no idea when [...]

Just Because…

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 22:14:28 +0000

I already wrote previously that I will post the presents I gave my husband this Christmas, I’m doing so even if weeks have gone by. I am a stickler to keeping my word, unlike some that prefer to keep blabbing(in writing) and end up not following through. Do you think readers don’t notice? Of course, [...]

Books And…

Two days to go and it’s already the new year. Before the year of the ox sneaks in, let me document here what was really inside that brown box. The box that I was prohibited from opening sans the presence of the giver. Besides, I wrote on my other blog that whatever is inside the [...]

Dancing Till Dawn

As I previously mentioned, we were at my sister’s home until the wee hours of December 25. The one thing I missed was, I did not take pictures at the karaoke session. Right after presents were distributed, the dancing began. No, I have two left feet and I can never dance decently thus, I was [...]
