After our short but sweet trip to the Great Barrier Reef, it was time to go back to Sydney. Check out my view of the Darling Harbour from the plane.

While waiting for my aunt's hubby, I had a little extra time to go shopping. My sister Isha badly wanted new shoes from Rubi which is a shoe brand from the Cotton On company that originated in Australia. They're trendy and very affordable. Plus, they have bigger sizes in-stock in Sydney compared to the very limited shoes they export to Manila.

Ended up getting this pair as per request of the youngest in the family. She's preparing her outfit for our trip to Seoul and wanted to wear boots just because it's still winter up there. #TiisGanda

For dinner, we're off to Mr. Brightside Cafe. They have a branch in Westfield Penrith and is a favorite brunch place of my aunt and uncle.

It's a funky small cafe that serves delicious OZ dish from fish and chips to wagyu beef burger.


An order is usually good for two but yes, I finished that whole plate of fish and chips. No wonder I feel a bit heavy now compared few weeks ago. LOL.


Greetings from Australia! :) Meet Mr. Brightside's candy cutie manager, Lachlan. Isn't he a doll?

Back in Manila, my Sundays are spent having lunch with the whole family enjoying delicious meals prepared by Mama or going out on a date with my boyfriend Paolo. In Sydney, it's a bit different around here. Tita Lulu and her husband John loves eating out. She rarely cooks but that's ok coz she knows where to bring me for good food! ;)

Meet John, he's my Tita Lulu's Johnny babeeehh. Jay and I call him UJ (Uncle John) for short. We're currently at The Coffee Club in Penrith nearby the Nepean River.

 
I am a rice person and I prefer having something really heavy so I had no choice but to get used to having the usual eggs and bacon or pancakes for breakfast. It's good though, I just badly miss my rice. Haha.


Jay's here, fresh from Tokyo and we're off to Penrith Whitewater Stadium built for the Sydney Olympics back in 2000.


Australia is soooo huge they have enough space to build a man-made lake and river for regatta and rafting.







We also passed by the Padre Pio chapel on top of the mountain.


The chapel is surrounded by trees so the environment here is very very peaceful. I've been feeling "lost" for the longest time now so it felt really good reconnecting with God and thanking Him for all the blessings I've been receiving. ;)


Time for lunch! Ordered angus sandwich with chips. Carbs on carbs di ba? Diet is not an option. Haha.
