Ghirardelli Chocolate



We visited my favorite Aunt (I call her Ate 'coz she's like 2 or 3 years older than me. She's my Dad's cousin, not my Dad's sister) and her wonderful husband at the Disney World Wilderness Lodge. They are from New York and they are here in Florida for their honeymoon. Too bad I forgot to bring our camera, that's why I wasn't able to take pictures with her and the hotel too. It's like being in a very huge log cabin and the place is a good spot to relax. We had to drive almost 45 minutes to get there though, so we can always opt to relax at home.

When we left, my Aunt gave me this piece of chocolate 'coz she knows I love chocolates. haha! I even told her, give me a cheap piece of chocolate, I will still eat it as long as it's chocolate! I think I had too much of this though 'coz my throat hurts a little right now. I ran out of mineral water, so I was drinking like a bird. I did brush my teeth after going to bed, but I think the chocolate just coated my throat. ouch.

It's the first time I had a taste of the Ghirardelli chocolate I usually have snickers with almonds. Yeah, I don't go for the high end chocolates 'coz the price makes me want to leave it in its box. The one I got last friday is a mix of milk chocolate and dark chocolate. The milk chocolate is on the top and dark at the bottom. Once I had a bite, I couldn't stop eating the rest. So this was gone in a split second. I never said I am on a diet this week. Compared to Cadbury, Ghirardelli duet chocolate tastes a little less creamy. But hey, it's still chocolate, so I am NEVER complaining! :)

Not a big fan of SOME Ghirardelli chocolates because they are kinda' waxy for me. But their dark variety is good. ;-)

Crafts for less

I don't really know what it is with the holiday season, but my "craftiness" usually kicks in whenever Christmas is fast approaching. It all started about a year ago when I decided to make personalized cards and gifts for my friends, family members, and colleagues. My Mom is really crafty, but I wasn't really interested in making projects when I was a lot younger, 'coz I'm just too lazy to even think about a concept. Our house in the Philippines will always be festive by October 'coz my Mom will decorate the entire place with so much attention to every detail, so that her holiday theme will flow all throughout our house. Meanwhile, I will just sit on the couch and watch TV and lounge like there's no tomorrow. I showed no interest at all, as everything was just too much for my brain cells to handle.

2012

I'm on a standstill. I feel so lost - I have lost myself into oblivion and I don't know if I can find myself again. All I see is darkness - I feel weak and hopeless. When will this agony end?  I want to be thankful for the blessings I have received, but the pain and challenges over shadows all the good things that are happening to me.  I feel like there's a dark cloud above me that just won't go away. It just sits there and I think it waits for me to feel really down and rain will just pour and wash way everything that I have left - my strength, hope, determination... everything. This feeling is killing me. When will the sun shine again? I want to quit. I can't quit. I wish I was a kid again, so I won't have to worry about grown up stuff. Growing up is hard, no one told me it is going to be easy in the first place. Who was I kidding?  I have to get out of this rut and be my strong, sure self again. This feeling is tiring.  I need that little glimmer o...

My first CVS make-up haul

One of my favorite fashion/beauty bloggers, April made me want to run out of our house at 10pm and go to CVS to check out their 75% off deal. She got a lot of make-up for less than $50! You can find her haul here:  http://aprilathena7.blogspot.com/2011/01/cvs-75-drugstore-cosmetic-sale.html . I love make-up, but I don't go for the expensive stuff. I still can't convince myself to splurge on make-up, especially that I don't really wear tons of it everyday. Since I was jealous about April's haul, I went ahead and dropped by the nearest CVS after work last Sunday, January 9th. I only got a few items 'coz the store near my place didn't really have a lot of stuff on sale. I think the 75% deal depends on which store you go to. On my first visit, I saved a total of $19.62! Then, I had to visit another store near my workplace 'coz I figured they have a wider range of choices there and I was happy that I wasn't disappointed with what I have found on the sale ...
