For a girl who had no real place to call home, here is where she found home. A place that provided her friendships that would last a lifetime, a place to go for the holidays, opportunities to fall in & out of love, and believed in something bigger then she. 

Now living in the Big Apple, chances of visiting her home comes rarely, but when a relationship with a special “someone” has started to blossom, she knew that she wanted to share this special part with this person.

It was like she had dreamed. Sunny day, cherry blossoms in full in action, and a night of Sangria and tex-mex as she introduced her man to her yaya sisters – sisterhood that was planted during college and has now lasted through the years of semester finals, caffeine overdose, drunk moments, weddings, and babies.

Ahhh Happiness :)

Can't you taste the love?

Over this past weekend, my closest friends and I gathered in DC where we have our yearly tradition of what we like to call Yaya Holiday party. Elongated holiday celebration to lengthen the season of Christmas, our favorite holiday. It all started in college where we used to exchange Forever 21 jewelries, scrapbooks, and H&M gift cards. We are now big girls who exchange fancy gifts like American Express gift cards, colorful eye shadow palette from Urban Decay, and Clinique eye cream as we approach thirty. This year, we decided to have the party in DC since both them now reside there and one is now a mom. To my wonderful surprise, I woke up Saturday morning to this dish. I felt some serious love.  

She made Eggs in a Basket which she cut a circular hole in the bread. While it is frying the pan, she cracked the egg into the “basket” of the toast. Simple, fun, and brilliant.
