I’ve posted about meeting a lot of good souls in the blogosphere and yesterday proved that yet again. I met up with Jey for coffee and tea yesterday. We’ve been reading each other’s blogs for about a year now and sometimes chat online. She’s off to another part of the country soon so we arranged to finally meet for a chat. Jey was very friendly and told a lot of stories! We had good conversations over my English Breakfast Tea Latte and her Iced Vanilla Coffee drink. I learned about her very noble work and her loving family. It’s great making a new friend who has a very caring heart. Sa uulitin! 
Here’s my Friday’s Feast! Care to invite me to yours? 😉
Appetizer
About how much money did you spend on gas this week?
Over P1,500. Unleaded gasoline now goes for around P40.82 per liter. Getting a full tank is a pain in the pocket.
Soup
What is your favortite brand of toilet paper?
Kleenex. I also use the ones sold in bulk at drug stores, as long as they’re 2- to 3-ply!
Salad
When was the last time you discovered something that you thought was pure genius?
Last night, when I watched Il Mare, a Korean film about two people who live two years apart, but intriguingly communicate through a mailbox. The Lakehouse is based on this movie. It’s definitely for romantics and yes, it’s pure genius. And I want a dog just like Cola.
The story reminded me of Griffin and Sabine too. What was the ending of their story again? Whoops, I’ve forgotten.
Main Course
What is the least amount of sleep you can get by on per night?
I can get by on 2 hours of sleep but that doesn’t mean I’ll perform properly at work the next day. I will be awake but not all there!
Dessert
June is a popular month for weddings. Do you know anyone who is getting married this month?
Yes, I’m attending my friend Rowie‘s wedding tomorrow.
Happy weekend everyone!
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

My FF is up.

June 9, 2006 at 9:43 pm (18 years ago)I want to see The Lakehouse, but I’m hoping it’s not too romantic-ky (is that a word?). I love the concept of it, though, so I’ll see it anyway.
Here from Michele’s!
