Eventful Thursday afternoon. It finally happened.

Mommy-ger

Now this is the post I had planned on writing about last Monday since it was a holiday here in the Philippines. However, I got caught up with other things—the National and Local Elections and I had to finish working on our missalette for the wedding. For this year’s Mother’s Day celebration, we had lunch …

I know I have yet to post what we did on Mother’s Day, but a relevant news involving Angelina Jolie reminded me of my grandmother’s before-death battle. My mother’s parents had been living in the US with her eldest sister for a long time when they decided to finally come home to the Philippines in …

Give Me A Break

Have you ever wanted to take a breather, get out of the city, but you decide against it, thinking it could be costly? For someone who works most days of the year, I think I deserve a break at least for a day. Since summer season kicked off here in the Philippines, my Twitter and …

A Good Kind of PMS-ing

Today I returned to work from a three-day long weekend. As expected, I am swamped with work, but not anything I can't manage. My Tuesday kicked off well except that I had been unusually lethargic. Ah, must be the PMS. Just when I tried to ward the feeling off, I received a very exciting news …

SEPANX.

I am a very emotional person. By emotional, I mean I am easily affected by random things: I laugh at the corniest joke and cry for the silliest reason. My family and most close friends can validate this claim. When I was younger, my uncles and aunts used to tease me that I could well …

Becoming of a Woman

For this week’s #ThrowbackThursday post, I will write about my 18th birthday celebration. So what makes it worth writing about, you may ask? In the Philippines, celebrating one’s 18th birthday or Debut is equivalent to what others refer to as their Sweet Sixteen. The Debut is a traditional Filipino coming-of-age celebration for young women. The occasion is somewhat reminiscent of the Latin American Quinceañera, …

4 Pics, 1 Word

Unlike most people nowadays, I don’t find popular or top-rated games applications appealing. Would you believe that I haven’t downloaded games nor music into my phone since I had it? All you can find in my phone are a library of eBooks, some photography apps, and a few apps for productivity. That’s until my brothers …

My Twisted Sunshine

Walking Disaster (Beautiful, #2) by Jamie McGuire Ratings: ★★★★★ A few weeks before April, Nica tweeted about the release of the second installment from the Beautiful series by Jamie McGuire. The first book, Beautiful Disaster, was a sure hit (at least for me), hence when I learned that the second book will be released soon, I really got …

Save The Arctic & Spread The Word

I love nature. There is something about nature that brings me peace and contentment. To me, a good vacation would mean an escapade to the places miles away from the city. But it is one thing to love nature, and doing something to preserve it is another. After all, we were made to be stewards …
