Lines In My Head

Great romances of the 21st century Dear C, I've got some bad news for you. I am not the perfect boyfriend. I do not have the drool-inducing front cover-worthy physique, a pair of shiny green eyes, the facial construction of hot European guys, the charms of a  mestizo boss, or the appeal of German and Serbian superstar athletes... I know nothing (a la Jon Snow) about France -- the language, culture, politics, history, tradition, and people. Heck, I even had to Google the title for this post... I have limited knowledge when it comes to worldly topics. Country relations. Historical references. War stories. Monarchy rumors. Government shenanigans. Entertainment gossip.

I don't think there's any other player I'd pick to lead this squad. More than the numbers though, the sheer will and determination that The Truth brings on the court will be his greatest contribution. And the sw

I haven't written in a while so I decided it's time to catch up on some of the trips the Cs' have had over the past few months. I'll be starting with a very late post about a certain trip back in December. While we've already traveled to a handful of fantastic destinations around the country, we felt the December trip needed a special vibe to it. Thus, to celebrate Christmas/New Year/6th month(!), we decided to visit the wonderful island of Boracay. Just imagine. Boracay in 6. Wow. Here are some highlights. Lazy and Cozy Stay Our Boracay vacation continued our trend of selecting awesome accommodations for our trips. This time, it was the turn of  The Lazy Dog Bed & Breakfast  to provide us with a solemn, quiet environment, a must for our travels. Let's start with some comfortable pillows and clean sheets... Clancy approves. ...a lovely wood-themed outdoor setting for dining and lingering... Perfect for food coma. ...delightful b
