I want to start collecting charms that describe me, tell my story, remind me of a special experience/milestone/event or something that makes me smile. I got this idea from @DaphneOP. I read the entry about charms from her site daphne.ph. I have not really started searching high and low (because I know I cannot afford the ones from Links of London), the idea was just floating in and out of my mind. Is there such a thing as a coincidence? It felt that way although I know that God directs every … [Read more...]
Goodbye Babyhood, Cymplified!
Is it really goodbye babyhood for my baby? My littlest one turned 18 months old. According to Babycenter, "Many parents say that this is when they stop thinking of their child as a baby." Well, I think I would always see Cayla as our baby because she's the youngest and she's petite. But, although she's small, she's very smart and she's a quick learner. The way Cayla likes to walk around and climb chairs, not to mention her repeating the words we say and the desire to feed herself make her … [Read more...]
Confidence, Cymplified!
For me, confidence is a destination that needed to be journeyed to. There may be some people who were born with confidence, but I am not one of them. How can I say that I am not confident? Feelings of insecurity and self-doubt were surfacing. I kept second-guessing myself and my decisions. I was uncertain about what I really, really like or want. I believed that I was mediocre in comparison to others who are more intelligent, more talented and have more things in their possession. I was always … [Read more...]
Exercise To Shine, Cymplified!
My one word for this year is 'shine'. One way I could shine is to make myself better in the aspects of being a mother, a wife, and especially, a follower of Christ. One of the ways to make myself better at my roles is to keep myself healthy. One of the ways I could take care of my body is to get exercise. I am not feeling good about myself most of the time.

International Women’s Day, Cymplified!
March 8, 2013 was International Women's Day. I have been receiving newsletters from World Food Programme. If you advocate for or support fighting hunger worldwide, please do take time to visit the site. They work doubly hard when countries are affected by calamities or even war, when food security is compromised. WFP Philippines calls for donations when parts of the country were hit by typhoons. For International Women's Day, WFP shared these 10 facts about women and hunger. It's sad to … [Read more...]
Empowered Princesses, Cymplified!
This video brought tears to my eyes. I don't know why! Post by Everyone Matters. It may be because I love Disney princesses, that's why Elle likes them, too. I don't think princesses are girls who are spoiled and bossy. I think they are girls with substance; especially love, kindness and gentleness. There's a reason or two they are loved by their people, and I don't think it's because of their pretty faces. For me, girls with good hearts and good manners are considered … [Read more...]
