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. I feel so heavy, slow and very unhealthy! That's when I knew I really need exercise to shine. Lessening my food intake doesn't work for me … [Read more...]

Brave Movie, Cymplified!
This movie had touched something deep inside me. Mainly because it's about the relationship of a mother and a daughter.

Like Elinor, I cry, consumed with guilt and worry. Brave movie is a reminder for me … [Read more...]
