Motherly...
A few people messaged me this: Happy Mother’s Day to you SOON, Yan!
For those who read it, just for clarification, I’m not expecting. Well, not happening anytime soon that is.*wink
I’m not a mother yet but it’s something I’ve been praying for —to build a family, for God to prepare me physically, emotionally and spiritually for the laborious and completely...

Happy Sunny Easter
Started the day early after gettin’ home late from an Easter Vigil mass the night before. Hence, brain malfunctioned and forgot to pack the camera to take pictures on a colorful day like Easter! Pfffft!
The sun was out and the weather was warm on that day! It was a great day spent in the streets and parks of NYC! Below were the best photos I took from my phone (used it until it’s...

Random Thoughts
I was supposed to do some reflection about self and sins, but my weird brain cells brought me down to childhood memory lane instead.
THE FORTS! I remember I would always make these forts when I was a kid. Stacking pillows, building a sort-of hide out from everyone. It’s where my siblings and I eat, play, nap and pretend it’s our little sweet escape. My mom would always yell at us...

Jesus Calling....
I am the Resurrection and the Life; all lasting Life emanates from Me. People search for life in many wrong ways: chasing after fleeting pleasures, accumulating possessions and wealth, trying to deny the inevitable effects of aging. Meanwhile I offer abundant Life to everyone who turns toward Me. As you come to Me and take My yoke upon you, I fill you with My very Life. This is how I choose to...

What makes a good relationship
Love: Well this is obvious. You must care about your significant other if you want to be with them. Love is the reason why you must put your effort into the relationship. Without it, it’s like playing chess without the pieces.
Respect: You must carry the same courtesy towards each other and remember to respect one another (even ideas/decisions.)
Passion: You must want that person in every way....

My Breakky Today
I got so excited that I can use Instagram app again on my phone! Now it’s available on Android! So I took a photo diary of how my day started. Here’s my breakfast today: Home-made cappuccino, a bowl of Oatmeal (maple and brown sugar flavor is yum!) and 3 slices of almost burnt salami :P

Mama: Older Version of Me
They say I’m your “junior” …a younger version of you…
We act alike in a lot of ways: when we’re happy, when we’re sad; when we’re moody, and when we’re mad…
When I was little, I used to frown a lot whenever I heard comments from people saying that I remind them of you. I guess, back then, I had not fully realized how lucky I am that they see YOU...

Lent
A Christian tradition which is observed for a period of 40 days, the same number of days Jesus spent in the desert before his death and resurrection. Ash Wednesday marks the start of Lent and ends on Easter Sunday when Jesus resurrected from the dead.
Lent signifies the time to acknowledge all our sins and repent on them. It is a time to build a stronger connection and faith to God.

Old San Juan: A trip to Puerto Rico (Part 2)
San Juan, the largest capital in the Caribbean, is a place of ancient magic, modern luxury and tropical splendor.It’s hard not to be captivated by the historic treasures of majestic Old San Juan, the charming walled city with its imposing fortresses, colorful colonial architecture and numerous attractions.I was really mesmerized with the place. If I will have to choose between the chaotic city...
Isla del Encato: A trip to Puerto Rico (Part 1)
March 21, 2012- a birthday wish came true! Thanks to my wonderful husband for keeping his promise to bring me to his beautiful homeland, Puerto Rico! We stayed for almost a week in PR, and it was amazing! The experience reminded me of home (Philippines): the warmth of the people, the culture, the food, the tropical feel of the beach and the sand, the warm heat of the sun, the rich...

Dear Lady, Woman, Girl
As I was browsing different wordpress themes and layout on top blog sites, I came across this note in one of the blogs and I just felt compelled to share it with you readers. I dedicate this to all the girls out there, whoever you are, whatever you are, despite differences in religion, race, culture and tradition, we are one and the same–dear WOMAN.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY
As we grow old…eeeeeeeee…let’s do that again, as we grow up… yea, that’s better. Ha ha!
So as I was saying, as we grow up, we realize that it becomes less important to have a ton of friends, and more important to have real ones. Agree?

My Sunday
This is how I spent my Sunday. I went out of the house and enjoyed the little heat from mister Sun despite the cold cold breeze from flirty miss Windy. And of course, ”going-out-of-the-house” experience won’t be complete without a Starbucks stop over
You see, I like to take pictures——especially of myself! Haha! It’s a form of therapy when I’m in the hole of depression, or boredom, or when...

THOUGHT OF THE DAY
The secret for long relationships is not having a perfect and harmonious love affair. It is not how less often you fight, not because of the number of similarities and the stuffs you both like doing together nor the number of mistakes you did. Those things count but it is the faith that keeps you going. A relationship would last if both of you are willing not to give up, if both of you is...
