I was trying to come up with ideas on new things I can post here on the blog, and I thought of adding a little more personal touch in here. Aside from simply writing restaurant features and reviews, I also want to share snippets of what's going on in my life. To make things more interesting, I'm going to be doing this "Life Lately" series using my Instagram photos. For my first post, the color green seems to be a theme.
1) The weather seems to get hotter by the day despite summer coming to a close here in the Philippines. On days when the heat just becomes unbearable, I turn to my friend, Starbucks, for some ice cold beverages to help me cool down. My favorite Starbucks drinks are their Iced Caramel Macchiato and their Iced Chai Tea Latte.
2) If you catch me in the kitchen, chances are you'll find me cooking pasta. If I had a specialty, it would be my pasta dishes because they're so fast and easy to cook (not to mention delicious). I recently cooked my all-time favorite pasta dish -- pesto with chicken and mushrooms, and my family and I wiped it out in an instant!
3) When I wake up, I usually go out to our garden to breathe in some fresh air and to bask in the morning sun. One time, as I was having my coffee, I realized that we had some makahiya plants in our garden which are plants that fold up when you touch them. It definitely brought back childhood memories of me playing with these plants, and I felt like kid all over again as I touched each one of them.
4) Speaking of plants, a lot of the tropical plants that we have in the Philippines are in full bloom during the summer, and I can't help but admire how pretty they are. Whenever my Dad and I would drive around, we would talk about the beautiful flowers and plants that we'd pass by. We recently saw this gorgeous Golden Shower plant and I just had to take a picture with it. I felt like it was one of our tropical versions of a cherry blossom.
