Life is a constant struggle. But if there's one thing I've learned with age, it's the fact that we always have the option of choosing how to react to certain actions and situations. This is more important than we think because our state of happiness or unhappiness depends on it. Call it a matter of principle or common sense but I do believe that not all battles are worth fighting for . We choose only the battle(s) worth our effort and we stick with it.

Dimsum decadence at Li Li’s Sunday brunch buffet
lily table set up. Define y-u-m-m-y. Let us count the ways. At Li Li, the exquisite Cantonese restaurant of the Hyatt Hotel & Casino Manila , yummy is defined in more than 50 different ways, or at least the 50 or more dishes that comprise its Sunday brunch buffet. Though gourmands have been flocking to the hotel's weekend food offering for some time now, it was only recently that I got to try.
