When we were young, we needed parenting. We needed adults to tell us what is right and what is wrong. Because they have already learned from experience supposedly. But when we become adults ourselves, we cannot expect our aging parents to keep reminding us of that. We need to discipline ourselves.
I like this path of Learning and Development better. And so, I will continue practicing ballpoint pen art. Hoping that I can present better artworks sooner or later.
Your eyes are like a mirror
Your smile brings a smile to my lips
My soul is glad that…
These fingers are intertwined with yours
Anxious and restless
Heavy and breathless
Letting go
And finally setting this spirit free
I guess, in life, some of the things that we are looking for will come at their own time. Just keep exploring!
The world is evolving, you are evolving. Growth can sometimes taste bitter, but trust me, it has a very sweet aftertaste.
Don’t leave that major life decision on the tip of your fingers. Winning an argument should not mean losing everyone around you.
My healing process has been painful. Why? Because it requires me to go back to what has hurt me. It makes me feel the anguish and frustration, that my bad experiences has brought, all over again.
You must sincerely shine from within before you can even honestly shed light on others.
But then again, an increase in income will never be able to cover for bad money handling skills or the lack of skills for that matter. So, it is very important for a person to learn wise financial management.
Also learned to transmute my negative thoughts and feelings into having a clear head and a peaceful heart with every prayer that they cause.
I should start adding more positive (+) values to my life, and subtracting the negative (-) ones. I will start looking at things in equal footing.
In my search for truth, purpose, and meaning lately, I have finally decided to buy the Book Of Life. This is an ancient writing that is still, surprisingly, relatable in the modern world.
I’ve just had a very serious conversation with myself. Yes, I am that single woman that I’ve confronted with. And no, I am not crazy.
It was the warmth that you ignite that I wanted.
I got something familiar.
But it was never the same.
And please, never say never in life. Keep taking risks. Win or lose, you’ve gained wisdom and strength.
I am looking forward to all of the nice experiences that I will be having moving forward. I also have new additional items for my business.
One must realize that every day will not be a good day. And whether it be a good day or a bad one, you still have to get up anyway.
A leap of faith is a serious choice. But before you make that decision, you must believe in yourself and believe more on what God can do in your life.
Embracing the new normal in style is not just about fashion, it’s about having the right attitude towards what has happened and what is happening around us.
I am driven more than ever to become better, get better, and give better to the world. Until such time that my better becomes my best.
The number 1 reason, for me, to go back to Vietnam will always be their really good coffee!
And Mactan Island, in Cebu, will always be our favorite starting point. We are surrounded with gorgeous islands just waiting to be explored.
Then, COVID-19 happened. And Taekwondo became a sport that is too dangerous for anyone to practice in this pandemic. Contact sports became a no-no and players stopped their training. But that shouldn’t prevent us because we can innovate.
I always end up listening to the Universe’ gentle nudges and, if that’s not enough, its strong shoves. I can get lazy. And I can get melancholic. But when I’m in high spirits, the world spins and dances right in front of me. And then, so would I.
These are the rules that I will strictly live by. I will have this post to look into, for every decision that I’ll be making. The rules may change next year, let’s see. But for now, these are the things that will lead to a better me.
Have you already read the book by Mr. Kevin Kwan called Crazy Rich Asians? If you haven’t yet, I suggest that you do so. No, this ain’t a book review. But my trip to Singapore, on the year 2016, made me enjoy the books more, as the setting of the first book of that Trilogy was mostly in this exciting country!
Here is another Enhanced Community Quarantine entry! I’ve just missed Summer 2020 and so, I’ve decided to have a look back on my notable travels around the Philippine waters. Today, let me take you to the beautiful islands that are surrounding The Municipality of Leyte!
Look what the Enhanced Community Quarantine made me do. It has taken me back to memory lane… to a trip that’s a decade old.
When I was younger, I never really understood the cliché “Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.” Not until it happened to me.
I pray the same for the COVID19 patients that they too can surpass this crisis. You’ll have your own miracle. It may not be instant but it will come for sure. Believe and pray unceasingly. Our God is a healing God.
Yes, keep your heart hopeful and your mind educated. Be a part of the solution in whatever way that you can contribute to the world.
Let us not diminish a good woman’s worth by the only options that she had to choose from. Some women decided to settle and they are left with everything that comes with their choice. Marriage is a commitment, and not just a fantasy to be fulfilled. Marriage is something to be taken seriously. So much thought must be put into it before anything else.
Choose your thoughts. And choose the feelings that gets to you. You can choose your behavior. Then choose your plan of action.
And then, we came face to face with Fat Dois! A restaurant that serves Korean dishes with it’s not-so-secret ingredient: CHEESE OVERLOAD!
The title of this write-up may not make sense to everyone. This is not for those who only loved one person in their entire life. Nor for those who got married to their first boyfriend/girlfriend. This is not even for those who have not loved anyone at all. This will only make sense for those people who have stayed single in spite of their dating history. Those who can’t seem to land what they call a “forever”.
Why Amgu? Because the advocacy of the owners is to spread awareness on the worsening waste situation that the world has arrived at.
Taking good pictures is art. Writing is an art! What I’m trying to say is that I am no expert at this topic.
Tourists flock the different locations of an Uphill Cebu Tour, while I’ve never been. As a Cebuana, I’ve decided to go for the experience first-hand.
Say Hello to Yello! The newest Smart and Design Hotel in Cebu City. The architecture is notable and the structure has a lot of details to marvel at.
Makati City is not really new to me anymore. I have had 4 jobs that has brought me here for trainings, meetings, and yes for company parties.
Why am writing about brews and books now? It’s because I appreciate learning lately. My brain is lazy ever since I was young.
I grabbed the opportunity of staying in Mactan at the late part of my day and spend time with a very good friend who always keeps me sane and grounded.
And nope, my surfing journey does not end here. I’ll keep riding and gliding with the waves of life, and enjoying them, too!
Meet our sexy Barista: Owner Kaye Homecillo of Third Wave Coffee Cebu! They are at the 2nd Floor of Rumah Highlands Hotel! Talk about coffee with a view!
After planting some trees and making some new friends along the way, it’s nice to know that there are still some people who care about the environment.
So, if we just practice patience and understanding for our present predicament, what we need or want will just come sooner or later.
You know those simple looking Chinese Restaurants that serve authentic Chinese food? Yes, this is one of them.
My journey started with superficial reasons, which was to start looking good again. But as time passed by, I started appreciating the fact that I did not feel heavy anymore and that my energy was somehow back to how it was.
I definitely enjoyed my brunch, and might just get it again next Sunday. You see, I don’t have a kitchen at home.
However, I took the shift one day and decided to go for the The Giving Journal from The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. For one thing, they only require a minimal quantity of drinks plus I like the intention behind every book.
I had a good 6 hours at the cafe, and had a wonderful time there. Check my photos out, to get a glimpse of the feels inside The Good Cup Coffee Company.
Enjoy getting a piece of my mind and a chunk of my heart. Hope to keep CA-ing you here.
