“Things are beautiful if you love them.” – Jean Anouilh
Phew! I find this week’s theme quite tough. I mean beautiful is a relative word, and for me there are so many beautiful things around us.
So, anyway, I finally decided to post these two photos. I didn’t want to stress myself out deciding which one to [...]

Cinderella: The Musical
It was our girls’ “gimmik” trip. My sisters, my five-year old daughter and I headed out last Sunday to the Cultural Center of the Phlippines (CCP) to watch Cinderella, the musical stage play featuring Lea Salonga.
It was the first time I ever got to watch Lea perform on stage and hear her sing live, since [...]

Loving Actions: Expectations
“By diminishing your expectations–by not expecting your husband to provide a level of fulfillment that only God can give–you free your husband of a burden you otherwise force him to bear, and you free yourself from unnecessary disappointment. This doesn’t mean ignoring your needs or wants, just getting rid of your time limit and preconceived [...]

Table Delight: Garlic Shrimps
Having a cook at home, I really don’t do much cooking not unless I’m teaching her a new recipe or simply just because I feel like cooking (which is not often).
I don’t consider myself a really good cook, but I do know how. Hubby is a better (and should I say great) cook than me. [...]

PhotoHunt : Wrinkled
Here comes Aladdin on his “wrinkled” elephant…
I took this photo more than three years ago when we watched Disney on Ice (Disney Princess on Ice series). We all enjoyed that show especially my eldest daughter who was almost two years old then.
PH#4. Photohuntin’ since August 2008.

PhotoHunt : Colorful
A kid’s world… Colorful!
That’s how I’ll best describe it. From their playthings to the stuff that they imagine in their minds. That’s why I believe in Art, Play and Music as very effective means of teaching and developing their young minds.
And as I look into this photo, I am overtaken by a siege of nostalgia. [...]

About Seventh Stranger
When I signed up for this blog, I was actually surprised that “7thstranger” was already taken. I guess I was absurdly thinking that I’m the only one in this world of billion bloggers who would want to use that name. Thus, I decided to use the longer version instead since it was available. I have [...]

PhotoHunt : Dark
Do you like reading DARK stories?
Well, I used to especially when I was younger, back in my teens. Then when I was in college, I stopped reading those really dark ones that delve into demons and dark supernatural beings. I’ve had bad experiences.
Now that I’m trying to get back into my reading habit, I only [...]

Two Strikes
Two stones were thrown at me today. Wake-up call to bring me back to reality… back to my real responsibilities and priorities.
First, I woke up this morning with a soreness in my throat, tiredness in my body, slight feverish feeling and a headache. I guess this is what I get after five days of stubbornly [...]
