there’s something about Tea Theme Party that is very appealing to me. the kind of get together that encompasses the semblance of calmness, 
comfort, light-mood and tradition. tea party as reminiscent of Victorian era can set the mood of women to put-on some unassuming gesture of being a lady.
i grew up surrounded with girl stuffs being the only lass of five brood. my mother took pleasure in pampering me with dolls, stuffed toys, cookware toys, sanrio knickknacks and dresses… this is how i started my relationship with girly things! … and i still do!… no wonder i find it comforting to watch the movies that inspired by Jane Austen’s novel. it depicts women in a feminine yet highly principled way, stimulating discussion either in group or between lady friends were always accompanied with a cup of freshly brewed tea and tiny pastries… oh! lovely.
what draws me to Tea Party? … well… the hat, the dress, the china wares and of course the fine sandwiches and pastries often serve with tea. i wouldn’t mind to have a ravishing petite sandwiches made of pumpernickel or wheat bread, a sumptuous slice of pound cake or strawberry shortcake, an inviting scones and tarts or a delectable blueberry and banana walnut muffin… the inviting presentation of these bite-size sandwiches and pastries in a stack-up trays and colorful china teaware that is set in the garden, patio or simply in the comfort of your living room… that is what i call a simple yet grand comfort.
tea and the tiny bits of delicacies are the best companion of conversation, the tradition that passed vastly from Chinese as early as 2737 BC to Japanese then Europe in 1652 then in America in 1690… presently, Tea Party is widely used as a simple way of entertaining guests at home, hotels and some restaurants.
i recommend for you to experience the Tea Room of Huntington Botanical Garden located in San Marino, California. it’s a very awesome place and the room is in the amidst of the luscious garden.
i hope one day i could host a tea party for my dear friends or i hope to receive an invite for this theme… i will gladly attend and enjoy my cup of tea!
one of the best accomplishments of every mom is to produce a child that turns out to be an epitome of their league… not necessarily a perfect one because no one is even if your son is a priest.
she saw me the way no other soul does… she felt my pain without a need of uttering a single word… being as what every adolescents are, swamped with disparate incomprehensible moods at times, her retaliations are only but impervious hugs and pestering kisses as if those were the last… couple of days short my seventeenth birthday, she succumbed peacefully in the afternoon of September 7th…the hugs and kisses that i thought were too much were enough to last my lifetime.
For all the moms and “wifeys”, thinking of what food to cook can be a tormenting job especially when you exhaust all the recipes you know and when the occasional laziness sets in. Eggs!… a saver in the kitchen. Sunny side up, well done in the middle with rice or toasted bread is already a meal for me. The thing is, for moms and wives, considering our partner’s & kid’s belly is significant in preparing the meal.

The bold, invigorating, rich and smooth smell of arabica coffee… nothing beats that. This is the thing that my husband and I have the intertwined passion when morning comes. The smell that soars around the house when the coffee is brewing is just a natural lift in my senses.
