"I'm starving," the hubby said and pulled over by Our Northern Coffee House yesterday evening. It was half-past 6, so it's just the perfect time for the last meal of the day. The place was quiet.

It's the end of the month and we are off to wonderland! Kidding😉 We drove out of DD early (6 am), and we are still on the road for an impromptu trip to the capital for some much-needed stuff, and to sort

My little hydro garden is thriving, yay! It's been two weeks since I moved the net cups with lettuce into their grow boxes, and their leaves have developed, and are a lot longer. Their stems a little fatter

It's the weekend, whew! Unlike most days (which were rainy), this morning is showing a bit of brightness, so yay! My soul is quite pleased. August is one hell of a wet month, but we are getting through

The new helper arrived yesterday. His friend fetched him from the other town on our motorbike. Our neighbor recommended him when he learned we were looking for workers. "He had to leave his current

Hola Thursday💛 We're back in DD, and alas, no morning rain, so we are hoping the sky will clear up today. If not, at least the ground would rest from seeping rainwater. Most areas have grown moss due

Magandang buhay💚 Hump day morning dashed in quietly here in BC. Not a single bird chirping outside, nor a vehicle passing by. So where is everyone? Still snoring, probably😁 Weird, but it is nice. I can

It was time to head home after our last errand for the day. But then our hungry tummies (truthfully speaking, our cravings) prompted us to visit Merlion Resto first. The food place serves Singaporean and

Hola, Monday 💚 It's the new week and our stay in the capital had to be extended. One of the main goals for this trip is yet to be accomplished, (no) thanks to the downpour along with strong winds that

Magandang buhay💚 We left DD at 4 pm. The hubby's charms worked that he convinced us to join him on another drive to the capital. It had been raining throughout the journey, and we passed by several landslides

"Morning, Ling, did you sleep well? You should not do anything today; take a good rest," the husband's instant message in the morning. He took another trip to the capital yesterday afternoon

Magandang buhay💚 Tropical Depression Neneng has exited the country, allowing a drier atmosphere around late afternoon. I took advantage of it and stayed outside for a few hours to finalize the outer wall

Feeling beaten this evening. Been working on my new project (resizing the mudroom or entryway). It was one of those things the hubby wanted to do but kept postponing until the mudslide happened, and the

Magandang buhay💛 Finally productive most of today with some woodwork. The circular saw started smoking at some point, and I had to remind myself to take a break and let it cool down, too. I was so focused

Roses are red, my love...🎵 Seeing the roses blooming in the rain made my heart skip a beat and hum the old tune. I was tempted to sing out loud, but someone was walking down the street (the hubby refers

The hubby drove to the Lil Kingdom this morning to check on things. I opted to stay since the wet weather isn't to our liking, lol! Besides, I want a quiet time. Initially, I thought of spending the day

"Darn, can't you see we are busy? Can't you be a little more considerate and leave right now so we can continue with what we are doing?" That was me talking in my mind when I noticed that the

Magandang buhay💚 I didn't even realize it's already Friday. The days are back to going by fast (again), whew! We are almost halfway through the month, and it feels like we haven't accomplished anything

Back to DD in the morning. Supposed to meet with the backhoe operator who will do the clearing job at the property, but he didn't show up. I wished he called to inform us he wasn't coming. Anyhow, I thought

Magandang buhay💚 The midweek is looking better. The sunshine showed up around midmorning. Guess it knows the earth badly needed some warmth. While it was just for a few minutes, it was a lovely respite
