an asian bowl and a day in burrow café
Down the rabbit hole it was. Prior to arriving in Burrow Café, André jokingly implied, “burrow? as in burrow?” and dug relentlessly in mid-air. Upon arriving, I understood why it was named that way. In the middle of a small, lush garden was a stairway that seemed to be leading to an escape tunnel of some sort. The footpath ended with a door that opened to the ethereal feels of the restaurant. It was beautiful and that is an understatement. It did not feel like home, I was almost sure we were on vacation in another country. At the start of 2019, I promised myself that I will discover more…

Casa Xocolat

Tokyo (part one)
I just came back from Japan to celebrate our one year anniversary! It has been 365 days of wedded bliss and I am more than grateful to God for allowing us to breeze through our first year. Yay! Do not get me wrong, it has not been perfect, but the Lord in His mercy and grace has spared us from any life-changing drama that would have altered the course of our future together. We have had a simple but happy family, but that is how I have always wanted it to be. Our journey started with landing in Haneda at 2:30 in the afternoon.Before pulling our luggages with us out…
