A PALACE OF GOLD? IN MY DAVAO? Relax, it's just Ryuma Coffee Shop . These gilded chairs seem like those furniture from The Grand Kremlin Palace at Moscow ! Really! Take it from  me, I have never been there. And while my companion was choosing our orders at the counter, I sat there peacefully like a Tsarina. There's nothing like elegance, sparkly things, and good food to make you think that, yeah, maybe this is what I deserve in life. That maybe, just maybe, this the place where I really belong. Not the plebian, working ant conditions I was accustomed to! This is my place! This is my throne! This is-- "Aich? Tara na. Let's go up."  So, there were a lot more of these gilded thrones chairs where they come from. There's also a second floor at the end of a flight of stairs with a red carpet that made me go "I want to come in here and go up the stairs with a ball gown on... AND MAYBE A TIARA!" Gosh, luxury slides all over...

Okay so it's not a clever title. Well, I am currently reading Atonement by Ian McEwan (wow, I've been at this book for aaaages) and I am trying to atone for the lack of posts lately! We were having--- actually we still are having a tough time at home. We're moving!!! Been pretty busy with the repairs of the new home and packing all our stuff. *Sniff, Sniff* I feel really sad leaving our home. We've lived there for around 13 years. Hopefully we can all scramble and leave before September 18. And ugh, it's such a downer to spend September 19 unpacking and decorating our home. It's my b irthday , I was planning to host a Crab Party! :( Anyway, I thought I would just like to share my favorite quotes on Atonement , if you don't mind. I love this book. Everytime I read a passage that struck me, I hastily jot it down. The book is wonderfully written, it is so erudite! The story itself makes me contemplate on the dynamics of family, the strength of imagination ...
