Post Long Weekend Reflection

A few weeks ago, I read Patty Laurel's blog about her reflection on Phil Dooley as he preached in Hillsong Sidney and her takeaway: Compare less, contemplate more. It was really a very good timing when I read about this blog because I am at a part of my life wherein I keep on comparing things and so and now that I am married, I still drool over elegant, chic and rustic wedding set ups, beaded gowns and beautifully arranged bridal bouquet and that sometimes I was thinking I should've done this and that.

But realizing this things, I stopped regretting, instead, I take them as inspirations for anytime soon I may celebrate a silver wedding with my husband. And instead of envious of friends getting engaged with humongous blings, I look back and remember the time of my life when I received mine from my ex-boyfriend. And when I see drool over big time supplied-wedding, I still realize that at then end of the day both of us still got married and I'm sure both of us enjoyed that day of our lives that we vowed to the Lord to spend the rest of our lives with our husbands.

Having said that, I begin to reflect that God is really equal. He provides the right time for everything and we should not blame any one for being not able to do this and that. It's God's challenge for us to make our lives better. I remember when I was still young, my family had a vacation in Puerto Galera and we crossed by a private beach called "Coco Beach". And we really wished we stayed in that resort and I remember I told myself, "someday...". True enough, that "someday" happened many years later, twice - with my family and with my ex-now-husband. And that's when I thought, God is really fair that He will always provide in His best time.

Life has temptations, envy and pride. But life is full of more beautiful things that make us happier individuals and in God's true time, He will provide.

Let me share our favorite shot during our wedding. This picture reflects elegance, beauty and perfect timing.

How I Made It Thru My Laziness

I woke up one morning and thought, I want to shop! But I was too lazy to get up and dress myself to pass by malls before I go to work. And then, I remembered my good friend Zalora. I wasn't really a fan of buying things online (especially huge amounts) because I feel my credit card might get screwed and might end me owing something I did not purchase. Aside from that, I was also not really very confident that I might not get the right size or it's not the one I bought, or simply, I don't like it at all, pala! Until I knew of someone who has tried this online purchasing and so I tried it.  This is already my second time to buy in Zalora. Remember, after being curious of buying online., this time Zalora helped my PMS-ing issues. :)  Zalora has thousands of goods anything from clothes to shoes to accessories, branded or from the marketplace, for men and of course, for the ladies. My favorites come from Spring Fling and Something Borrowed. Affordable, classy and...

Me Blogging

Thank you for spending time to read my posts. Some of them may be non-sense to you, some may be relevant. I'm just happy expressing herself by sharing my thoughts. Writing started as a past time through diaries, essays for school and now for this blog. I do not intend to make blogging as a living (but if permitted, why not!)- I have a day (or mid-shift) job in a thousand employee organization.  I get inspirations from bloggers out there (can't call them co-bloggers!)- Patty, Alessa, Kelly and some others who express themselves through their blogs. I've written a few blogs even before facebook, twitter and instagram became really popular. But only now that I've decided to be more serious about blogging. Before finishing this entry, I did some research about blogging. Definitely, write ups will be original or sometimes, I may quote from someone. Some of the pictures may not be original but I will link you to where I got them. To the owner/s of pictures I may post in the f...

It's a Girl!

Finally after 30 weeks, Lester and I are happy to announce that we are having a baby GIRL! It took that long because we’re the kind of couple who’s obedient to the OB- have ultrasound when needed. Last time we checked, the OB did not confirm Little Javier’s gender though she told us that this little one is most likely a baby girl. Lester was still positive to have a baby boy- he still has 40-30% chance. But hey, it doesn’t matter- after all, we can still make another one :).  It must be the genes- my mom gave birth to 5 children- 4 of us are girls and our youngest is a boy (can you just imagine how Little C feels when he’s at home?). Lester was already dreaming of playing with his little one, teaching how to play PS, bike and all those boy stuff while I was already imagining cooking, baking and doing girly stuff with our little Javier- and I won! I remember when I was still on my first and second trimester, I was so into little things for girls that when I go to the mall’...
