We Love Infinitea!

Before I learned about the milk tea craze happening left and right in the Metro, the husband introduced us to Infinitea. It is a small tea house located along Maginhawa, Teacher’s Village Quezon City. We pass by here whenever we are Las Pinas bound, as for hubby, he passes by the area every day on his way to work.

Unfortunately, things did not turn out very well for this branch of Infinitea. I am just guessing, ok. They are now closed. The brighter side is that, there is a branch in Festival Mall, Alabang and in Dahlia, Fairview! Well, these places are far as they may sound but they are accessible to us from time to time. 😀

A few weeks ago, we passed by the Fairview branch and I finally tasted the Blueberry Cheesecake Frappe that the hubby was raving for. As for me, I opted for the never-failing Wintermelon Kiss. I love their milk teas and other creations because even if I lessen the sugar, they still taste great!

And look who else enjoyed our milk teas…

I cannot wait for our next visit!

OFW Family

OFW or Overseas Filipino Worker is what you call Filipinos who work for a living abroad.

I never imagined that my family will be an OFW family. Actually, they are my extended family already since my main family is my hubby and the two girls but still, it never occurred to me that they will have to leave us and work in a foreign country.

The first who left us is my sister-in-law. She is a physical therapist. Alex was only about 8 months, I think, when she left. She came home several times already but every time she has to go back, it is still crying time for Mama Ledy. She often call us through Skype (thanks to technology) to let us know how she is doing and to hear the stories of Alex and Max. Recently, She has been ranting on us about how hard it is in her current work. She is already considering moving to another place but has to think about it very well. She is currently in NC and is thinking of going to CA. I bet, she will be able to land on the best jobs in there. She could even land on the best rehab center in Orange County, that is Morningside Recovery because she knows what she do and is very good at it, actually. The girls are doing great in easing their Tita’s stress by dancing in front of her, singing, and telling her lots of stories, specially Alex. I know she can do it.

The next who left us was my Kuya Ian and Ate Anne. Kuya Ian is my older brother and Ate Anne is his wife. Then Toni left to teach in another country then just recently, Xen rode the plane to the middle east.

JUst like what we do to Ate Cel, we also call them via Skype to catch up with each other. But nothing beats physical togetherness. I pray that in due time, all of us will have a grand time together.

Time for a Wardrobe Change

Hubby’s acceptance of his hypertension made him change his lifestyle as well. He is very well into fruits even before but he ate more now. And now, he also makes sure that he exercises at least once a week. These efforts made him in control of his body and his health.

At this time, his clothes have grown big on him. They are now loose and the fitting is not nice anymore. Makes me push for a wardrobe change for him actually. He will surely appreciate some new patagonia capilene and some new pants. If only we have time to shop together.
