Two Loonies

Scene outside.

Two loonies had made a respite at Harrods.

He: "C'mon let's take a picture."

She: "Sure"
Both of them have looked at the screen of their camera. And they both laughed.

He: "Let's be serious, okay?"

She: "I'll try. You should too."
He: "C'mon baby, let's be serious for once."

She: "I will, this time."
He: LOL!

She: " You said be serious, but you're still making funny faces," (irritated)

He: "Ok now, let's be serious shall we?"

She: " We should coz people are already looking at us like we're lunatics."

He: "Ready?"

She: "Shoot!"
Both: LOL!!!!!

London (and rabbits) Calling

A sunday. I'm about to prepare our tiny, red luggage for London tomorrow on a road trip. Our friends will be fetching us as we commence our early drive on a September morn with an optimistic attitude that the weather would be at least welcoming. As it is the beginning of autumn, the skies are always bleak and the breeze aren't always light. You can feel them rustling through the leaves joyously like a long-lost friend.
We'll be staying in a 3-star hotel for a night and I'm expecting at least an inward friendlier service with no such haughty stance like some of them are and of course a total outward luxury. If you've been to London, you will know exactly what I mean.
Shopping will be top of the list on the first day and sightseeing on our last. I'm hoping we can take a cruise on the River Thames as I've never done it before.
During the 3-hour drive, I will be munching my moment-to-the-lips-friendly-to-the-hips guilty pleasure: raw carrots dipped in either sour cream or mayonnaise. Yum!
I can just imagine the rabbits calling me now: "Cherrypie we want our carrots back!"

A Taste of London

London. The last time I and Jobert were here was to see the breathtaking sights of this vibrant, multi-racial city. It was cold, wet and grey too. This time, we were not as curious of the sights and sounds as we used to anymore, instead, we came back for only thing: retail therapy. The weather was the best ever. The sun was beaming all day and the city itself is filled with tourists and shoppers alike.
We went to Portobello Market to buy my well-loved Nenuco. The Portobello Road is as famous as the market itself as it is where the film Notting Hill was shot. It's also the place where both Jobert and I were nearly ran over by Kate Moss' black Range Rover. The white painted apartments can be visibly seen through slit eyes as the sun blinds our vision. In one manicured garden, I noticed a father and daughter perched on their antique bench under the thick foliage both engrossed in their reading materials and both oblivious to the din of the passers-by. Walking towards the end of the road is the tiny Spanish store where Nenuco is sold. We bought loads.
As we got out of the gloomy and humid underground tube, a warm blue sky and the purity of the sun welcomed us. We went to Trafalgar Square first to rest our aching feet. True enough, the fountain with its blast of cool water was enticing us to get wet. Ah, it was pure bliss.
We had lunch at the quaint French restaurant in Soho district. It was our first time and the food was superb. I will definitely be coming back for more.
I love this city. Although you got to have the perfect pins to do all the strenuous walking, it has everything you want to see and more.

Vibrant hues

Just took a shot of this but never tried :)

The appropriateness of these lovelies on a sweltering heat is just heavenly!

The only reason why we went to London...
But Jobert has a special way of getting away with all these shirts!
