after 27 months

It's been over two years since my last post wishing to blog about a pasta, a new (at that time) resto in Tagaytay, and two of my all time favorite books. My wish didn't come true. Life just got a tad busier. When I started this blog, I was a newly wed and I wanted it to be a chronicle of life's exciting discoveries but I got sucked into what pays the bills and climbing the c ladder. It doesn't mean though that the two years were difficult nor were they tumultuous. There were a lot of happy moments too but looking back, I would say, not so well-rounded. A recent health issue, which with God's grace was addressed but which forced me to take a 7-week break from work, helped me to take it slow and allowed me to smell the roses. It also helped me to realize to love my body more... eat healthier, rest, relax, exercise (although i can't do this just yet).

While on medical hiatus, hubby and I got ourselves a nanny. She's a dear. Now, we have decided to keep her with us for good. Nanny B did a lot for us in those seven weeks and I will forever be grateful, including doing spring cleaning of my closet and our entire 45m space. Together we thought of organizing a yard sale at the podium level of our building which turned out to be a great success. This allowed me to purge and make closet space for new clothes and shoes and rediscover some oldies but goodies. Like what am wearing today. I think I got this summer dress in Southmall, which means I got this when I was still living in LP with my folks more than 5 years ago. The necklace, I think, I got from the Lifestyle bazaar in A venue in 2008 but not sure anymore. It's nice to slip into something old and comfy and the best thing is: it's great to know it still fits!
