A Starbucks cup on my hand. 
This song blasting on my iphone while walking along the streets of Makati. 
Yup, this about sums up my mood for the past week. 



A great day to fight, they say. 



Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big wavesInto motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me


Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about meIn too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)And it's been two years
I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?


This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me


A lot of fight left in me


Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big wavesInto motion
Like how a single wordC
an make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion


This is my fight song (Hey!)
Take back my life song (Hey!)
Prove I'm alright song (Hey!)
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me


No I've still got a lot of fight left in me

There were a lot of news this January that Denny’s would be opening in the Philippines. I would be one of those who would eagerly await this!

Our experience with Denny’s was an accident, really.

My friend Donna cannot accompany us that day when we visited her in Colorado. We were staying then at Holiday Inn Lakewood. The hotel itself is nice but it doesn’t have anything within walking distance except, well, Denny’s.

Donna actually recommended that we try it, so off we did. And were we so glad!
Denny’s offered a variety of food, from pancakes, skillets, salads, burgers, sandwiches and even dinner plates.

It was both our first time that time in Colorado and we don’t have anything to compare it with. As for me, I just love the idea of having a leisurely breakfast. It just reinforced the feeling that I am on vacation. Yey!

Trying Denny’s that time in Colorado actually dictated our meals for the rest of our US vacation. We were already in Las Vegas when another friend, Dy, mentioned that it was a franchise. As for us, it was always an instant decision to eat there whenever we see a branch.  I cannot remember how many times we ate there when we were walking along the Vegas strip.

Let me count the ways we loved Denny’s during our trip:

• refillable coffee
• eggs, eggs, eggs!
• hash browns
• skillets
• burger (according to Jie)
• variety (from breakfast to even ribs!)

 Us with our meal that first time in Wadsworth Blvd, Lakewood Colorado.
