Lunch Alone on a Wednesday!

I went on a date with myself last Monday. I had to buy  a few stuff (particularly makeup—since it’s been a while since I went makeup shopping) and had dinner alone at The French Baker. I was so hungry that I want something filling and heavy in my tummy :) So I ordered cream of mushroom soup and hamburger steak with rice, mashed potato and buttered vegetables, I was so satisfied with my lunch.

   

 French Baker is one of my favorite place to go to enjoy my meal definitely 5 thumbs up!

I'M BACK! I WAS A BUSY BEE!

   OMG! It has been almost a year since my last post. I didn't even notice how time just flew so fast. I was swamped with too much work and deadlines I can't barely catch up with you guys. Pasensiya na po. But I promise from now on I will try my best to have a post at least once  week. As you know being a blogger it is impossible for us to make this as our bread and butter, so we need to have a real job to earn some moolah, but writing is my life. So I must say I miss this so here I am. In front of my laptop just writing down my random thoughts. I miss you mga friendship! Love love love!
