About Toni
I love eating ice candy, especially if they’re made from fresh avocadoes or fresh mangoes. The colors chocolate brown and light green relax me. Mr. Bean makes me laugh. The glass is half-full, especially if it’s a chai latte that’s in there. Washing my face in the middle of a work day rejuvenates me. Playing The Sims 2 always cheers me up. My Yoshi collection cracks me up. All the Happy Nest illustrations are special to me because they were created by my husband. Blogging really rocks.
Hi! My name is Toni and these are my happy thoughts.

Hi Toni,
Are you related to my friend, Lauro Platon, Jr? He was my barkada and schoolmate at UP in the 60’s. I believe he was from Romblon.
I now live in California.
Can you pls respond to my e-mail address.
Thanks.

Thank you very much for the “Happy Thoughts”, Toni. Thanks too to your husband for the illustrations that accompany your happy thoughts. It’s a grace when people like you could ‘discover’ that you could create something beautiful for others to read and learn from. I’ve shared your “Happy Thoughts” with loved ones and friends.
In my office are several Mangrove Seedlings. I can hear the waves… they create music from the sea. God bless you.

Hi Toni!
If even half of the Filipinos would just be like you I definitely would have second thoughts on migrating.

Hi Toni! I’m Nonie. I also love to eat ice candy. Sayang, nobody seems to be selling ice candy in our neighborhood nowadays. I like the different shades of green from the leaves of different plants. It has a calming effect on me. That’s why I have a potted plant on my study table, my office table, kitchen sink, center table, side table, and even in my laboratory.
I enjoy reading your blog!
