That Food Blog Girl… She Was There!
Yikes!!! I have to admit that I don’t have a food post for my comeback, because this food blog girl went on a trip and it’s not a food trip but just a fun trip with only one goal in mind… snap lots and lots of photos! :)
I mean I ate well at hotel breakfast buffet (ha!!!), room service and oh, was well fed by a couple of packs of Smores Pop Tarts inside my room! :D (I kid you not!!!) I mean there is nothing unique blogging about what I ate… except that I ate Smores pop tarts for 3 straight days… not as a dessert but just to entertain myself inside my hotel room! :D
But here are some photos I took from where I’ve been. :)
Jeannie <3 I’m Back! :D

GUEST POST FRIDAY: LET US ALL TAKE A TOUR OF SPAIN
For my second GUEST POST FRIDAY, I invited Laura B. Fernández (lalitab- tumblr blog) to take us around Spain and share some of her photos of Spanish food (chorizos, cheeses, empanadas and pastries) she snaps at artisan markets in Madrid and Palencia, and pictures of the places she walks and visits as a traveling Senora.
I discovered her blog, two months ago, I believe. I was instantly hypnotized by her photos of huge bundles and wheels of cheeses (I am a cheese fiend!) and from then on, her blog became one of my favorite blogs that combines both travel and food.

I´m not a musician,but I play cello.
I´m not a photographer,but I love taking photos.
I´m not a chef,but I cook and will share pics and recipes.
Love reading,and the smell of books.
I´m an eager soul.
I didn´t know how to cook until I met my future husband ten years ago. I fell in love with him and wanted to be better in what sums up to be lil´ol me. So I got my driving license at the age of 25, started playing my cello again, began cooking, and I´m planning on going to college next year if all goes well. So, basically I´m taking my second chances and not letting them go. I´m a good example of “you are never too old to keep learning”.
Photography is my hobby, cuz I´m self taught, I´m no photographer, I wish I was! It started because I love my country, and my city, and it has so much potential- so many beautiful places, people and gastronomy that you only have to push the button and you´ll have a wonderful picture.
And there´s the food. I´ve met a bunch of wonderful men and woman from East to West in Spain, people from different provinces, of whom I borrowed recipes and cooking knowledge, thanks to the great trips we (my three sisters and my parents) used to make through Spain when I was younger, and now when hubs takes us to explore the Spanish map whenever we can. - Laura

IT’S MY VERY FIRST GUEST POST FRIDAY
I decided to do a GUEST POST FRIDAY to share with you all some of the works of people I know personally or I have discovered and met here in blogosphere who are all brilliantly creative and talented.
As some of you might now noticed, I am a huge fan of great photographers. And aside for food and cooking, photography is my third passion in life. When I visit some of my friends (professional and hobby photographers) albums, I always, always go “geek ballistic” on raving about their brilliant works. Knowing myself and my limited space for self-containment of my geeky enthusiasm to let the rest of the world know the awesome things I see and discover, I decided that it is about the right time for me to do guest posts to share and showcase the beautiful things I see, delicious recipes and smart sentiments from people I find truly with a gift of awesome creativity and mind.
For my very first Guest Post Friday, I asked my dearest friend Roxane to share some of her beautiful photographs from her travels to the most remote places (obscure yet dramatically, even poetically stunning) here in the Philippines.
(In this photo: Roxane Almario)
Roxane and I met when we were in college. We were roommates for 3 years. I was a Conservatory of Music student (Yes, I was a singer in my former life… bet you didn’t see that coming! lol), while she was a Bachelor of Arts student, who then after finishing the course, pursued a Master’s Degree in Sociology… she is the epitome of gorgeousness and smartness in my book! We’ve been friends for years now. I love her to death! :)
She travels around the country doing researches on indigenous groups/tribes. She is a brilliant photographer who always tell a story through her travel photography.
I always tell her, “Please take me along with you to those obscure places you go to?!” But sadly, we haven’t seen each other for almost 5 or 6 years now. And we always say we miss each other a lot. She is always there for me, supports me, even regardless of distance. I on the other hand will always be proud of her and her sublime qualities as a person. :)
