You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

Buhay Mayaman Paminsan-minsan

We had breakfast at Westin Hotel yesterday compliments of his sister who works there. We aren't really a fancy pair so we don't mind which restaurants we've been to or not. We just love to eat out together. So whether it is in a fastfood, food court or some takeaway shop, we just don't care as long as we're with each other (cheesy but really, really true) and we are stuffed. Hahaha We want value for our money.

So we got up quite early than what we used to, got ready and walked our butts down to Viaduct Harbour. We were so tired when we reached the lobby because we didn't know how far it actually is when you're walking. But it was some good exercise. So when we got there, the ambiance was sort of business-ish and intimidating to a certain level. But that's just my point of view. We were seated immediately and our orders came pretty fast.


french toast for him


eggs benedict with smoked salmon for me

As soon as we finished our brunch, we just killed time and took photos using his SLR. I thought to myself, so this is what rich people do: Waking up and having brunch in some cafe or fancy restaurant where they overcharge you for coffee that tastes nothing compared to Starbucks. But hey, if you earn thousand of dollars every paycheck by signing papers and going to meetings, then an overpriced coffee is no big deal. Besides, everything they practically spend for is overpriced. Hahaha I saw a couple of other groups having sparkling water (not tap), with cigarettes in hand and huge dark sunglasses concealing most of their face, probably makeup-less after too much partying the night before. I found it quite interesting to be seating among them and keenly observing what they're doing and how they're acting. I can do this more often. And blog about it too. yesterday was fun in its own right.


that's me! having a rest before walking back home
