Coleus/Blue Monday

Lampunaya, Coleus
The art of healing comes from nature and not from the physician.  Therefore, the physician must start from nature with an open mind. ~ Paracelsus

Seafood Marinara

I was caught between the rush hour traffic and a rainstorm recently near SM-Megamall after a meeting.  It's been a while since I was in Megamall, and I wanted to check out some restaurants that I haven't been to before.  I noticed the trendy look of Eat & Go at the Atrium and decided to try them.  But my choice was kinda boring...it's not bad, and good value for money---it's just that my "lazy girl" seafood marinara tastes better.:p

Splashes/Water World-Wednesday


Splashing waves @ Baywalk, Manila Bay

It's been stormy and all of Metro Manila and nearby provinces are in a standstill due to incessant rains that caused  massive flooding.  Strong waves from Manila Bay  spawned by typhoon "Gener" (international name:  Saola) pounded the seawall and flooded Roxas Boulevard with saltwater. These were taken a week before "Gener" arrived.

Don't you realize that the sea is the home of water?  All water is off on a journey unless it's in the sea, and it's homesick, and bound to make its way home someday. ~ Zora Neale Hurston

Paragliding/Blue Monday


If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if the simplest things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive! ~ Eleanora Duse

Boodle fight


A boodle fight-style dining on a camping trip in Quezon.  In lieu of plates, food was served on a banana leaf and eaten with bare hands.  This was a combination of steamed rice, mango-bagoong salad, steamed okra, grilled eggplant, drunken shrimps, fried bangus, steamed shrimps, grilled squid, and grilled chicken.

Boodle fight is a military style of eating.  You have to eat fast to get your fill...if you're slow, then you go to sleep hungry (except when you cheat!:p).
