Welcome to my new blog feature called The Master and her Piece! It's an interview I do with women who inspire me and others to live and create better. I ask questions about their masterpieces or their works, their inspiration and ideas, their motivation, their challenges and their advice; to hopefully encourage my readers, too. The first lady I want to put under the spotlight in Cymplified is 1/2 of The Googly Gooeys, Tippy Go. She's the artist behind this gem of a blog, this … [Read more...]
All You Want to Know About the Bible in Pop Culture by Kevin Harvey, Cymplified!
One has to be updated on all Hollywood movies, TV series and popular music to be able to relate with and appreciate this book. Unfortunately, I am not. Therefore, it was difficult to finish this book. Even if there were synopses and brief descriptions, the details were important to be able to make the connection with the Bible. All You Want to Know About the Bible in Pop Culture shows that we can find God's messages everywhere; in stories, in TV shows, in songs, in movies, if we only … [Read more...]
Cultivate Children’s Creativity & Cultural Awareness at Museo Pambata, Cymplified!
One Saturday morning found Cayla, my youngest, and me back at Museo Pambata in Manila for a Bloggers' Event I was invited to. Thank you for having me, Ms. Chie and Ms. Jiana! I love how her face lighted up upon entering the museum. She couldn't wait to start exploring again! Truly, it's a big playground. One area that was closed when we visited the first time was the Aklatang Pambata or Children's Library. It's bright and cheerful. It's colorful and welcoming! I wanted to go there … [Read more...]
Blissful in God, Cymplified!
A big change is underway in my life now. A change that I dreaded, but is important to my husband. A change that I was not looking forward to, because it means stepping out of my comfort zone. A change that is forcing me to face one of my huge fears. A change that has me feeling a wee bit alone. A change that has me feeling dazed. A change that has me feeling uncomfortable. This change brought to mind questions about myself. Am I ready to take the wheel and conquer the streets of Manila? I … [Read more...]
Plans Unplanned, Cymplified!
Prior to leaving for Singapore last April, I planned a few things I will do to feed my creative craving. Inspired by the artist @abbeysy's travel journal filled with lettering and doodles, I plotted an insertion of these activities into our tour itinerary BEFORE the cruise, so I could leisurely paint on the deck: Visit Art Friend in Bras Basah Complex. Buy Art Spiral watercolor sketchbook, as seen from an Instagram account I'm following, @bananabellieboo. Buy a watercolor pan with … [Read more...]
5 Snippets of Marmee’s Wisdom, Cymplified!
A photo posted by Cym M (@ceemee) on May 22, 2015 at 8:27pm PDT I was just a little woman myself when I first picked up this book. I was on the other side of the fence then. Meg, the eldest, caught my attention because she was the prettiest. I wanted to be pretty, like her. Writing was one of my pastimes after school, therefore, I had the tendency to admire also Jo for her imagination and her being a free spirit. I wanted to be a pretty tomboy. As I drew women and designed their clothes … [Read more...]
Family Day Out: 12 Things To Do In Museo Pambata, Cymplified!
Sunday afternoons are perfect. They are perfect for staying at home, watching TV, surfing the Net, taking naps, or just chillaxing. They are also perfect for rousing ourselves from laziness and doing something together as a family. I was excited when I learned that National Museum has waived its entrance fee for the whole month of May in celebration of National Heritage Month. At last, my hubby Rix and I could bring the kids to a museum! But, as you know, we ended up in Museo Pambata for two … [Read more...]
