afternoon tea : pacific dining car (LA)


with may coming to a close, it makes me reflect upon how we spend our daily lives in this rushed world. myself included, i always find myself rushing about my daily life and instead of paying attention to the people who i love the most in my life, i end up making excuses about how busy i am with work or having to take care of 'other things'. but taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture, in a life where nothing is limitless, especially the time with the people who love you and you cherish the most, i start to think what truly is important. yes, making a living is important, but that can always be earned in different ways, if you want it bad enough, but the time that one has with someone, it's not something that can be substituted.

this weekend, i spent an afternoon with my mom, fiance and auntie sipping on some tea and munching on finger sandwiches/cakes/scones. it was the best! not only was the afternoon tea + food wonderful, but the company is what made it memorable.

perhaps if you have a moment, instead of writing that e-mail you had been meaning to send off or finishing up that one project for a client, take a moment out and enjoy an afternoon tea party with the people you love.
