By | What's New at Starbucks?, Yummy! | 2 Comments

It was LOVE at first sight when I saw a photo of the new Chocolate Crepe Cake in the Facebook wall of my friend, Michelle!!

A few days after, I saw it again at Starbucks in Powerplant Mall in Rockwell

Finally last Sunday, my Mom bought a whole cake and served it in family lunch!!!  SUPER YUM!!!!  I love the chocolate powder on top and I like it because the cream in between is not so thick and the crepe in itself is not so heavy! 



17 layers of light paper thin crepes filled with Belgian chocolate cream

Beauty is A State of Mind

By | Beauty | No Comments

Beauty, just like happiness, it’s an inside job.  It’s up to you and when you feel it inside it projects on the outside.  Saying or feeling you are not beautiful is something you created for yourself.  It’s only you that can make yourself beautiful 🙂 Watch this video and see

Priscilla Queen of the Desert

By | Entertainment | No Comments

I went to watch this musical last night not knowing about the movie or the broadway musical and I truly enjoyed it!!!  I loved the music, the stage set, the costumes and everyone in the musical.  The show starts today!!!

 poster_priscilla_asof24apr.jpg

I love always looking for the best room or the best seat in the house.  This is Heart2Hearts recommendation – Patron row E in the middle would be the best but any seat in this row will be good!  lots of leg room and no one in front of you, the centre of the stage with a great view of the performance

We were near the best best seat in the house, we were in row F behind the director of the show!!

Jaime del Mundo 🙂  We used to watch him all the time in Repertory plays at the Insular Life around 25 years ago so I am a fan 🙂  and tonight he was the director of this amazing performance

I am holding back sharing my videos and photos of the show because I am hoping you will have no expectations and that you will see it for yourself!  The Filipinos are so talented in everything!!! I love the PINK BUS! 🙂

Pinky Marquez was there, I tried to take a close up 🙂  and many others who you will recognise – Michael Williams and Menchu Lauchengco

There is this area where you can take photos 🙂  by the centre of the mall

And by the entrance of the theatre elevators – you can take photos with them too 🙂  They are quite gigantic but it’s a fun souvenir

Nawwtys Kitchen A Matter of Taste

By | Foodie | One Comment

 This lady is always keeping herself busy.  After her balloon arrangements and personalised stationary, she now has a food business!  I am wondering how she can stay so sexy and trim after cooking all her yummy dishes.  As Tim Yap said, it’s all about personalisation and how Trish is always very personal in everything she does

One Flaw in Women

By | Today's Quote | No Comments

Sharing the One Flaw In Women ………. 

By the time the Lord made woman,  He was into his sixth day of working overtime. 

An angel appeared and said, 

“Why are you spending so much time on this one?” 

And the Lord answered, “Have you seen my spec sheet on her? 

She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, 

have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable 

and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, 

have a lap that can hold four children at one time, 

have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart

-and she will do everything 

with only two hands.” 


The angel was astounded at the requirements. 

“Only two hands!? No way! 

And that’s just on the standard model? 

That’s too much work for one day. 

Wait until tomorrow to finish.” 


But I won’t,” the Lord protested. 

“I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. 

She already heals herself when she is sick 

AND can work 18 hour days.” 


The angel moved closer and touched the woman. 

“But you have made her so soft, Lord.” 


“She is soft,” the Lord agreed, 

“but I have also made her tough.

You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish.” 


“Will she be able to think?”, asked the angel. 


The Lord replied, 

“Not only will she be able to think, 

she will be able to reason and negotiate.” 


The angel then noticed something, 

and reaching out, touched the woman’s cheek. 

“Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. 

I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one.” 


“That’s not a leak,” 

the Lord corrected, 

“that’s a tear!” 

“What’s the tear for?” the angel asked. 


The Lord said, “The tear is her way of expressing her joy, 

her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love, 

her loneliness, her grief and her pride.” 

The angel was impressed. 

“You are a genius, Lord. 

You thought of everything! 

Woman is truly amazing.” 


And she is! 

Women have strengths that amaze men. 

They bear hardships and they carry burdens, 

but they hold happiness, 

love and joy. 

They smile when they want to scream. 

They sing when they want to cry. 

They cry when they are happy

and laugh when they are nervous. 

They fight for what they believe in. 

They stand up to injustice. 

They don’t take “no” for an answer 

when they believe there is a better solution. 

They go without so their family can have. 

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally. 

They cry when their children excel

and cheer when their friends get awards. 

They are happy when they hear about 

a birth or a wedding. 

Their hearts break when a friend dies. 

They grieve at the loss of a family member, 

yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. 

They know that a hug and a kiss 

can heal a broken heart. 

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. 

They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you 

to show how much they care about you. 

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. 

They bring joy, hope and love. 

They have compassion and ideals. 

They give moral support to their family and friends. 

Women have vital things to say and everything to give. 

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, 

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
