I could relate with @iamaimeediego when she said in one of her posts that she had a creative itch but didn't know how to express it. I feel like I am stuck in a creative funk lately, but I am not currently working on anything. I feel like I should be creating something: poems? painting? crafts? I used to think that I have a creative soul, although I am all thumbs with crafts and gift-wrapping But seeing other people create something beautiful, something people like instantly, well, it just … [Read more...]

Old School Blogging, Cymplified!
Blogging, before, was very personal and it's about putting one's self out there. These days, it seems that more blogs are about brands and contain applicable or practical information. Don't get me wrong, these blogs are great for obtaining useful tricks on lifestyle & parenting, and tips on the products & services that ordinary people like me would actually use. But unless a blogger attains celebrity status, or a celebrity decided to blog, the really personal blogs are being disregarded, … [Read more...]
Wedding And Marriage Thoughts, Cymplified!
One of my cousins from my dad's side got married last week. Beautiful wedding. It brought to mind memories of my own wedding... And the several things I wanted to change: The proposal. One of my wedding entourage. The way I held my father's arm while walking down the aisle. The photographer. Where we took photos after the ceremony. The time the reception started. The host. My speech. I didn't know better then. We didn't have a wedding coordinator. I didn't know I was going to give a … [Read more...]
In Her Shoes, Cymplified!
The result of being compared with other people who were seemingly more beautiful, more talented and smarter was a girl who is insecure, who isn't sure of what she really wanted and who is striving to be someone else. Her decisions were made for her. She was living a meaningless and purposeless life. She was willing to settle for mediocrity. There was a span of time when she was following one of her schoolmates from high school on Facebook. She would read about a fairytale wedding, the expensive … [Read more...]
Craving For Reconnection, Cymplified!
There are some days I would suddenly miss hanging out with my girl friends or my girl cousins. I would also wonder what it would be like if I had a sister. Maybe I would have an instant friend to bond over coffee with. It's true that humans, maybe mostly women, have this strong innate feeling to connect with another human, most likely of the same gender. It's really hard to explain, but although as much as I love talking with my children, I would miss having an adult conversation. Whenever I am … [Read more...]
Communicating Positively With Our Children, Cymplified!
I love my children. I don't have to say why. It's more than a feeling a parent cannot deny. But, why the raised voices, empty threats and short temper? That should change, to be my children's Christlike keeper. That is why I attended the Yes Mommy Workshop by Optimommy Jayme. I want learn how to talk so my children will listen and understand. I want to communicate positively with my precious little ones. I want to shine as a mother. First, I needed to understand how communication works. I … [Read more...]
Goodness, Cymplified!
They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, (1 Timothy 6:18 ESV) See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. (1 Thessalonians 5:15 ESV) Since we are all created in the image of God, I believe that people are innately good. But, how to remain good is the question. Humans are like flowers. To bloom beautifully, they must be planted on good soil - good foundation, must be watered - soaked in … [Read more...]
