The Chocolate Hills
2:19 PM
As I'm devouring a bar of Lindt dark chocolate, I was wondering what to write today and it struck me. Yes chocolate!
The Chocolate Hills, 1,260 mounds on the island of Bohol, Philippines. They become brown during dry season. A folklore tells of a giant who falls in love with a local girl and his tears transformed into limestone mounds. Do they remind you of Hershey Chocolate Kisses?
Embracing Wildlife
5:18 PM
You might have an "Eeew" expression the entire time you're reading this post (later,you'll see why), but I'm excited to share it. Mainly for the reason that I never thought I'd be able to do it and have never really planned on actually getting myself into it.

One Lazy Day
6:31 PM
Today is a lazy day. A day with no makeup, tousled hair and in sleepwear all day catching up on series I've missed while cuddling with my favorite cat.
While I was away, I have had my share of cuddling with a lot of wildlife that I never thought I'd ever touch in my entire life (That's for the next post). For now, I'm going to enjoy the purrs of my cat whom I've missed for a month and half. Meet Tiptoe, a tabby cat. We've adopted him from a family leaving Dubai for good to migrate to the U.S. Tiptoe has been with us for the last six years (turning 7 this year). He's a very dramatic cat. He loves to do this kind of poses.
What is your idea of a lazy day?
XOXO,

I Love Chateaux: Palace of Fontainebleau
11:42 PM
How are you enjoying the mid week? I'd like to be a bit random today so I'll rekindle my attachment with castles. During a road trip to visit numerous castles driving from the city of lights towards Loire Valley, we did a stopover in Fontainebleau, 55 kilometers from Paris. This tranquil town lies at the heart of a vast forest.
Palace of Fontainebleau is a UNESCO World Heritage site, one of the largest French royal castle with 1,500 rooms, 130 acres of gardens and parkland.
