All In A Day

We all lead busy and stressful lives. With all those work deadlines and bills to pay, manic Mondays and indolent employees, how does one stay healthy and happy?
A walk in the park, a slice of pizza, a little shopping, a cup of yogurt, fried chicken chops, milk tea and lots of laughter in between, all in a day.

Nolita, Bonifacio High Street Central


Mid-afternoon in Nolita.



Saving our seats, Clam and Rina.

Rissa with our pizza!




Shopping in Kashieca

Next stop, Pink Berry!

Clam had a small cup of pomegranate yogurt with mochi ball toppings.

I had a medium cup of pomegranate with five kinds of toppings.

Rina was a good girl, Rissa had a small cup of vanilla with blueberry toppings.

Happy with our choices.

Chicken chops and fried tofu at Serenitea.

I will keep coming back for more.. fried chicken chops!


I always order Hokkaido milk tea.

Milk tea for three.

Happy, healthy and serene, Rina and Rey.

The House Of Dr. Luis Santos

Our tour of Malolos continues, from the Cojuangco ancestral house  http://myrefrigeratordoor.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-cojuangco-ancestral-house.html , our gracious host  Melecio Cojuangco  brought us to the house of Dr. Luis Santos. Mel arranged the visit with one of the heirs of Dr. Santos,  George Imperial . From the outside, one would already be in awe of the sheer size of the house. The house was built in 1933, according to the marker by the gate. Upon entering, you will marvel at the grand staircase, the expansive receiving room and the foyer filled with hard bound medical books and mementos of Dr. Santos' career as a well loved doctor in this town. The second floor was something else, as our group slowly ascended the magnificent staircase, my heart literally skipped a beat at the sight of the ceiling mural and Art Deco details.

Our next journey takes us to a historic town in Bulacan, thirty minutes north of Manila.

Mel, his cousin in law Marissa Lopa, Rima Datuin and Evelyn Bautista  and I discovered each other's funny bone   because of our love for the ice cream served in a huge bowl at Peninsula Manila's lobby. One evening, to justify our appetite, we pretended it was my birthday and we had the string quartet play happy birthday for me, from then on, we became good friends. Mel's grandfather,  Jose Cojuangco  was born at the Malolos house, very near the Barasoain Church. Jose's mother traded rice from Nueva Ecija, sacks transported by boat via the river at the back of the kamalig to Binondo, Manila. Like most turn of the century houses, the Cojuangco house uses piedra china ...
