Makati City

Along with Faith, I arrived quite early in Makati City.
Valentine's Day and a New Year of the Tiger had gone by, but it was spent in balmy weather Baguio City.

Another working day for both of us.
It seems like my Baguio sojourn barely even started, and here I am back again, with my shiny nose to the grindstone.

In an attempt to console myself, I grinned with approval at my 1 kilo of fresh strawberries, purchased yesterday at the Baguio market. I was inexperienced in selecting such fruits, so when the plump "Manang" minding the stall picked and packed them for me, I could only pray they would last the bus ride back to Manila and were as luscious and strawberry-licious as my imagination had me salivating about.

a batch of beautiful berries!

After smacking my lips, and dutifully putting the red fruits into the fridge, I fell into my bed like log and snoozed until late morning.

When I woke up, I immediately headed for my luckily-one-more-left pack of all-purpose cream.

Drizzling a few swirls of the golden honey into the whipped concoction, I washed approximately 1/3 of the strawberries and then dunked them into the creamy goodness.

A usually blue Monday, saved by these bright red fruits.

Excuse me, while I finish 'em up.

Slurp! on my messy plate
