A bit about me

Anne J.

I'm a Philippine island girl in Africa, a Filipino-South African. A mad banana woman that I am, I live "la vida loca". The banana part isn’t only because I'm Anna (Banana) but because an old boyfriend had observed that although Asian (yellow on the outside) I'm very much Caucasian in my way of thinking (white in the inside) and my actions, too. It's a rather accurate observation. I am that liberal-thinking and modern-acting Filipino... I remain my tragic-comedic self with a day job in slightly more serious field of Finance, Business Operations and Corporate Affairs.

Life in pics

We went Christmas decorations shopping. It was fun! If only I had a budget for this... maybe next year. 😜😛 We did pick up a few things to make our home more Christmassy. 😀

Beautiful and bright! I love both. The decorations around me are adding to the Christmas cheers. It's almost done. Nativity scene, although small, has been added. There was a change of position as well. There are lights now, too. There are a couple more of lights to add then it's complete. But, nothing beats Montecasino's decorations. They seem to have added more. I suppose they're done.

It helps to look back at the wonderful memories of past events. We embraced the cold weather in New York. This wasn't exactly the snow day we wanted; Jeslyn said it's just rain. We still enjoyed it. It was darned cold for us who are used to the South African climate but we liked it a lot. We felt at home in New York. Missing the USA this year's December holidays... no fun 😧☹😑. At least, the current cool (although not quite cold) temperature of Joburg due to a week-long rain fools me into thinking we're not gonna be celebrating a summery Christmas... until the heatwave comes back. Haha!

Life is good when you indulge in the yummy! @ohmycake_sa #frenchmacarons #macarons #treats #delicious #yummy

Just because... Because I can. It's not Friday anymore where I am but it still is in the USA. 😜😁 #fbf #flashbackfriday #flashback #lookingback #reminiscing #tenyearsago #tenyears If only each year didn't equal to a kilogram...

#Champagne and #chocolates = #happiness = #gratitude. You've gotta love the #holidayseason. Thanks a billion, Andries! You are the best! Mwah! I have found a "home" for the #gift / #treat. Yay!

Did Christmas come early? Kind of... 🤩😍 Hubby owed me an anniversary present 😜 and I liked the shoes so much that when I decided--instantly, without hesitation--that I was gifting my self a pair, for Christmas 😝, I convinced hubby to buy the other pair for me for our anniversary last month. Not that its it's necessary but it's a wonderful and loving gesture. ❤😁🥰 Thank you so much, liefie! But, since I'm Filipino, and we believe that we shouldn't give shoes, or anything we step on, as gifts, I paid him R50 for the one pair. They are no Jimmy Choo but they are beautiful and they look fab on me, I think 😆, so they are good enough. 😉😄 And they are #madeinBrazil. I do like 'em Brazilians. 😃 #shoes #shoeloveaffair #Werner #Brazilianshoes #Socratishoes #Socrati #iloveshoes

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas🎄... at home. 😁 Yes, we have started decorating. We are going to be home this Christmas. We need the look and feel, in the heat of summer. #Christmas2019 #Christmas #christmasdecorations

More colors, more lights; Christmas 🎄 holidays, Merry and bright 🎉✨ Loving Monte's Christmas feels #Christmas #Christmas2019 #christmasdecorations

For the sake of your love of a good life, enjoy the treats! The new #Baglios at #Montecasino is now open. #Yay! #happiness #treats #yummy #lifeisgood (I still don't know where to look. One day, I will take better selfies. 😝😂
