I've been going through an extreme emotional roller coaster ride lately. I guess it's because of my hectic schedule and me subconsciously thinking of the crazier weekends ahead that I've been feeling very anxious, impatient and grumpy nowadays. Don't get me wrong. I am very thankful for the Holiday season as we have been getting bulk orders for our peanuts left and right, our weekends are filled to the brim and my work week is another crazy story on its own. Given that, I have been losing a lot of sleep. That alone is a recipe for a very cranky and grouchy Frannywanny . Last Saturday was an action-packed one. I started the day early as I headed to Makati for my hands-on Pasta Class at Global Academy . I love to cook and back then, I dream of being a chef.

Dear readers, Nothing makes my day brighter than meeting you. Everyday, I still get thrilled over receiving an email notification that a comment has been left on my blog and yes, after four whole years, I still try my best to reply to all of them.

Really, nothing makes me feel more fulfilled as a blogger than knowing that I was able to help..in my own little way, I hope I have contributed in making your trips more fun and satisfying (for your eyes and tummy at least).

My dear readers, I can't believe another year has passed and I am now blowing out three candles on Frannywanny.com 's birthday cake! Looking back at the time when I started this blog, I simply just wanted an avenue to share my thoughts on the different dining experiences that Paul and I had plus a few photos, some of which were even taken using my mobile phone. Year after year, I have been blessed by meeting a couple of great blogger friends, restaurant-owners-who-eventually-became-our-good-friends and of course my treasured readers. Nothing warms my heart more by hearing all of your kind words and encouragement that makes blogging truly fun each and every day. Blogging has been and will continue to be my passion. A week is not complete without allowing my tiny fingers to type away as I share our latest food and travel finds. This blog has played a huge part of my life, it has seen me at my worst and definitely has been there at my best . As I enter my third year, I...

Rarely do we get to hear this statement anymore...It's funny because this was actually one of the first things that we were taught in nursery along with the words Please and Sorry .

Today, I'd like to say thank you to.... ...my family for being so supportive and caring. ...the love of my life, Paul , for coming at the right time and at the right place and for loving me unconditionally. ...my bestest friends in the world who I know I can count on at all times *hugs*. ...
