Sunday in December

Today I made chocolate chip cookies. Today was the Sunday that I woke up feeling changed.  I ticked off another concert off my musical bucket list when I saw Sir Elton John last night here in Manila!

It was awesome!! And may I say, even as a fan, I completely forgot just how many songs he had!  He almost went to three hours and he's what? 67?  Fantastic.  Had the best time! :)  Sadly I was in the nosebleed seats so no real pictures to speak of :( But he sang "Candle in the Wind", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and "Rocket Man" back to back which made me cry like a little little girl.  Someone was nice enough to put it up in youtube.  Here it is :) 



Today, apart from making the cookies, I've just been home, looking through the different blogs and putting a culinary challenge to myself, of what I can make that can last the week.

So far, I've gotten, STEW, CHILI, and RAGU BOLOGNESE and some other Filipino dishes like adobo which is my fave and I need to refresh myself with.  I used to be able to make such a kickass one :)  If there's anyone out there reading this, please feel free to send me any suggestions or indeed, RECIPES! :) It would be appreciated very much! And thank you in advance.. :)

Anyway, some things I saw online today that caught my interest, apart from all the recipes I've been reading!

I would really like to get one of these rings:

This is cute for my initials (my initials are ARM... which makes me ineligible to have married Brad Pitt)



Love this MUG

This picture is my reminder of a stamp I need to have made :)



I really and truly want this robe. Actually there's a scarf too. It's so pretty.



I must remember this.  It is hard to live in with someone.  It is inevitable that you fight and there are some days that you will piss each other off.  This is a great article on how to combat that :)

I love this living room! It is super minimalist and the colors are beautifully muted.



I would love to have this. I just need lavender!

I would love to try and make this.

I WILL try to make THIS deep dark chocolate.

Another Christmas idea! :) Based on the high I am on today as I've successfully made my first batch of cookies, this seems like a doable idea :)

What a great dining room!

Great natural stuff for your skin!  Who knew it was all in your food bin?

I need to pull up my boot straps and get ready for the up coming Monday in a few hours :)  Here's the hope that this week will turn out more productive than the last couple of weeks. I must also find time to start doing my articles and find my Christmas party dress! 

Fingers crossed.

For now I will leave you with one of my favorite songs of Sir Elton :)
