By | Animals and Pets, Travel | One Comment

I attended this talk by Peter Allison organized by A to A Safaris

Everyone here has either been to a safari like Jay Lopez and Tito Manny and Tita Ina Dizon….

…..or has been to a safari and wants to go again on another adventure like Tessa Valdes and Malou Gamboa, and Chie Gatchalian and her husband

planning to go to a safari like Aileen Anastacio, Chip Syyap and Mia Florencio

or maybe some just dreaming to go to one one day, that’s me 🙂  maybe with my bestfriend Eds or with Steve and Cherina 🙂

And here is Peter Allison!  I actually find him cute 🙂 When he starts to talk he reminds me of Crocodile Dundee.  He told me that he lives in Cape Town behind the mountains with 4 horses and he just jumps on one when he wants to go somewhere 🙂  He goes around the mountain to get to work which is around 20 minutes away

I love this slide which I saw in the last presentation of A to A

Peter’s talk was not the usual sales or marketing talk, but he showed us photos from his safari adventures!  It was very interesting because he knows about animal behavior.  We probably will not be able to tell what animals are doing when we take their photos, but Peter knows and has a story behind every photo he takes

One day, I am going to take my own photos and tell my own African Safari story….. one day! 🙂 and who knows, maybe Peter Allison will be my safari guide!  Woohoo!

San Antonio Village

By | Homes and Interiors | One Comment

A few months ago we saw this very interesting building in San Antonio village, a few meters away from where VP Binay lives 

san-antonio-village-01.jpeg

We saw this sign so we decided to look and inquire just to see how the inside looks.  Notice the stairs leading up high- apparently it gets flooded in the area 

 san-antonio-village-02.jpeg

What a unique structure 🙂 

san-antonio-village-012.jpegsan-antonio-village-013.jpeg

Altar in the ground floor, I assume this is already the lobby of the building

Entrance to a unit which is a studio

Kitchen to your right

2 Bathrooms to your left – one for the toilet and one for the shower- it is just a wooden sliding door

The living room and bedroom

Another unit

2 bedroom which looks like a gigantic bunkbed with two levels 🙂

Principles of Life

By | Today's Quote | 2 Comments

     No point using limited life to chase unlimited money.

     No point earning so much money you cannot live to spend it.

Money is not yours until you spend it.

 When you are young, you use your health to chase your wealth; when you are old, you use your wealth to buy back your health. Can you get it back? It is too late.

How happy a man is, is not how much he has but how little he needs. Hoarding wealth without a capacity to enjoy is like a bald man collecting combs.

No point working so hard to provide for the people you have no time to spend with.

Alone I can say, but together we can shout.

Alone I can smile, but together we can laugh. 

 

Alone I can enjoy,  but together we can celebrate!

Carousel Personalized Printing

By | Knick Knacks, Shopping | No Comments

I like always planning ahead and working in advance.  I think that planning for Christmas is always an advantage for me so I do not panic and stress out during the busy holiday.  One of them is ordering cards and gift tags.  I know some printers give discounts and specials if you order before the Christmas season, so take advantage

Last year we received these cute Christmas cards from our friend, Michelle Rufino- Bartolome

Apparently she has a personalized printing business called Carousel with her partner, Ana de Borja-Araneta

Lills prepared a birthday lunch for our dear friend, Rachelle, since she knew she would not be able to make it to Rachelle’s birthday celebration.  It’s a good thing I joined because I could not make it as well!  Happy birthday to our dear friend, Rachelle
