Thank GOD It’s Fall!
Facing east for the moon rise from my backyard garden … Just another West Texas Friday night!
As much as ☼summer☼ is my favorite season (after all, that’s when my birthday takes place), I’m making the most out of autumn ~ especially going outside for crisp, fresh air!
I’m also all about Starbucks seasonal flavors* ~ from ☼summer’s fruitiness to these comfy delights:
My venti cold cup always comes in handy … for a discount & a drink to last me all ☼day!
Apparently, I was my local barista’s 1st customer to order a Toasted Graham Frappuccino! #StarbucksLovers ♥ #trendsetter
Furthermore, football has kicked off into full swing!
Here are a few of my favorite things for fall …
Nine Fine Fall Flaves
1. Favorite Candle: my Bath & Body Works‘ Salty Caramel that I used to light up my *Dallas Cowboys* jack-o-lantern and Advent †cross† (I’m also all about BBW‘s Pumpkin Pecan Waffles/White Barn‘s Thanksgiving Morning)
2. Favorite Lip Color: toss-up between my red Ardency Inn ♥Love♥ Cat lipstick from Sephora or purple Vera Wang *Rockstar* lip gloss from ULTA (c/o my Bestie Evie)
3. Favorite Drink: please view above {Exhibits B-E}
4. Favorite Blush: the ones from my KleanKolor Double Rainbow palette, plus I think that I’ll try Dulce Candy‘s tip on lip colors in a pill box for cheek colors!
5. Favorite Clothing Item: my birthday gifts ~ specifically the scarf/shawl ~ and my recent online finds plus my Target scores ~ particularly the jeans and booties!
6. Favorite Fall Movie: no new releases, so I’ll go with classic football flicks: Varsity Blues (came out my sr. yr.), Friday Night Lights (with a cameo of my h.s.), Remember the Titans, Any Given Sunday, The Longest Yard (including the original)
7. Favorite Fall Show: Grey’s ♥Anatomy!!! I’ve been counting down for the Season 12 premiere since the Season 11 finale ~ as a loyal fan for over a decade since the very beginning with the previous seasons on DVD
8. Favorite Thanksgiving Food: I’m not going to lie –> my Cranberry Pie #DISPObustAFlow
9. Favorite Halloween Costume: now how about I have y’all pick? My personal faves include when I rocked out my abs live, No. 5 … I won our contest in 2013 as Lone Ranger‘s Tonto and in 2014 as my Nurse Mom who was fine in 1969! Will I make a 3-peat??
Actually, please allow me to add a 10th item:
My #1 Favorite for Fall: my ✌two✌ ♥cute, cuddly companions♥ with whom to softly snuggle for cozy comfort plus who keep me company while hard at work and welcome me home after hard at play!
CHEERS to this time of year!

I treasure
☼ Our Lady of Guadalupe † ♥
and my fave fall flave:
Pumpkin Spice Latte!
Please make it sweet & spiced + iced …
Spice … Ice … Nice … Is this a vice?
& to top it off to make it all nice:
Pair with a Pumpkin Scone
Can’t go wrong with FREE samples … Because even if it’s a YOLO, the portion’s so low! #DISPObustAFlow

When I lived in the 🌅Bay🌉 Area, home to Western Conference Champions, the Golden State Warriors, who beat Eastern Conference Champs, the Cleveland Cavaliers, in last night’s 🏀NBA Finals🏆 Game 1, I actually had friends who walked their 🐈cats {Happy Belated Hug-Your-Cat😻 Day yesterday, by the way}
This morning, I joined Mami Aya and Coco 🐰Bunny🐇 on their 🐾walk! #QTwithThisCutie
Since my mom’s taking care of my sis’ Yorkie, they’ve been 👣walking👟 everyday, and I made a point to join them this time around!
We went to my Bestie’s 🏡house🏠 now that we’re neighbors, so Coco made friends with the Cake🎂 and Cookie🍪 Corgies: Twinkie and Oreo!
One of my buddies also 🏁rolled🚗 by…
… And we proceeded with 🚦caution🚥 as we approached this 🐍snake!
Since I haven’t exercised much 🌳outdoors🌴 this 🍀spring🌷 due to my 😰sickness, I shoot to login more miles this 🌞summer🌼 little by little again!

Happy May the 4th be with You!
Monday’s multiple feature is about May days …
- First, I traveled to SA for school and to meet with my esés for the game and fight*
Pinoy Pride ✌
*My remarks about Manny:
- He has way more going on in his life than just being a fighter:
- He lives by his faith
- He is a hero to his family and my native country due to
- his generosity from his earnings and
- his political career
… while Fighter is the only identity that Floyd Mayweather has achieved:
- Professionally, obviously
- Personally ~ considering his history of violence
This self-proclaimed $Money$ was in it for
- The title and to remain undefeated
- $elfishly keeping his winnings
- Before and after my trip back home, I had to celebrate May the Fourth be with You

Yesterday, my student who I tutor and I went shopping for plants!
I want to emphasize to my pupil and all of my students the importance of maximizing their full potential.
These are the flowers that he picked out!
Hibiscus in the (green)house!
We need this vegetation for his science project …
Hibiscus Red for ♪♫Pop♫♪
… Which is to determine the effect of ♫♪music♪♫ on plant growth!
Hibiscus Mandarin for ♪♫Hip Hop♫♪
He picked the hibiscus because they’re barely growing, so they have yet to bloom and blossom, plus their petals will look beautiful in hair!

We ladies get our perks, don’t we?
Aside from the obvious, females may have certain days out of the week when they earn discounts.
For example, I appreciate my local Avis Lube locations for Ladies’ Tuesday, complete with a rose!
Happy Belated Birthday, Kris!!!

April showers bring May flowers!
Orchids from my Sissy! (Chips aren’t mine)
We were blessed with bountiful storms this past spring and beautiful blossoms are in full bloom! When I visited my sister over Memorial Day weekend, she was so sweet enough to surprise me with these orchids to celebrate that I’m returning to my teaching career.
Floral Friday: Yellow Orchids from my Sister for my teaching career!
The last time that I received orchids was when my speech students brought me a bouquet a couple of years ago on Earth Day, toward the end of the spring semester.
Flashback Friday: Purple Orchids from my Public Speaking students!
The following class day, my Interpersonal Communication class gifted me with more pretty plant life to add to my office ☼window☼ …
Annie enjoys the posies!
… and much to the pleasure of my Double A-Team! †GOD† truly has ♣blessed♣ us!
Asia takes a whiff of the floral fragrances!
The rewards that I reap from teaching include influencing my students positively.
Throwback Thursday: Annie (student, not my cat) presets me with these goodies!
My student, a fellow Filipina, gave me this gesture of gratitude that touched my ♥heart♥.
Flowers always brighten up this teacher‘s day!
Relationships are like plants; we nurture them to grow. ~ my mom
