Pegged Photos

While I was gone for almost a week, Spanks made his own DIY on the living room wall. And yup, it was inspired by our trip to a certain resto.



By using twine, wooden pegs and a wall hooks, he made a unique photo display. it's a fresh spin on the usual framed photos tacked on the wall.

Any way you look at it, it's quite pretty.

Like banderitas for the fiesta.

Drawing on Our Bedroom Wall

The walls of the Master's bedroom (which also doubled as my home office) was looking bare. I was thinking of hanging framed photos. Or sticking on decals, which were ultra-cute but also quite pricey. So I thought of a way to combine both design ideas.

With wewilldoodle masterpieces as inspiration, I grabbed my black marker and bravely drew a tree...

with photos as leaves.

It was really fun to draw on the wall.

Tribute to Domesticity

Walang stir!

Every time Spanks is busy with work, I take over the kitchen. Just this morning, I burned 3 pieces of toast. For lunch, we had leftover sardine pasta from yesterday. And for dinner, I decided to try out this recipe from my friend Ella. It looked so simple and foolproof.


And whaddya know...it really was!


Served with healthy, full-bodied Ifugao rice, the recipe was deliciously simple. Also, simply delicious.

Dutch Treat

No, we didn't take photos because we didn't bring a camera. But yes, we enjoyed the dinner because 1) it was a new resto which Spanky discovered here, 2) we both want to go to the Netherlands someday (soon, i hope!), 3) we walked all the way from Sikatuna to Xavierville (and back), 4) the owner gave us complimentary 3 pieces of nutella and praline dutchkins (soft and chewy--my fave textures--but we liked the berry and cream dutchkins more), and 5) we got to sample a new beer.


Welcome, happy hormones.

One Rainy Wednesday Late Afternoon

Gray skies outside our window.

But we were craving for something sweet. So Spanky braved the rains to go to the nearest grocery.

And we beheld a goddess of golden, sugary goodness.

Light as a cloud. Sweet, eggy softness, enrobing a surprisingly chewy, custardy center.

After dessert, we just had to satisfy our salty tooth.

Kiddies

Combined, Spanks and I have a total number of 4 nieces and 3 nephews.
