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!

International Women’s Day, Cymplified!
March 8, 2013 was International Women's Day. I have been receiving newsletters from World Food Programme.

God’s Character, Cymplified!
What traits of God assure you the most? What promises of His attributes do you hold on to the tightest? Do you find comfort in God's character? According to Joyce Meyer, 1. Justice: God is a God of justice. That word justice is so awesome because it means that He will always make anything that's wrong right. This helps me to not worry when I am mistreated because I know God will bring justice. It's who He is. 2. Goodness: God is good, this fact never changes. And He's good all the time, … [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. I can empathize with the way Elinor felt after Merida stormed out of the room when they were fighting. Like Elinor, I treat Elle harshly when in anger, one too many times. :-( Like Elinor, I regret what I did, regret how the situation got out of hand, regret how nothing was resolved. Like Elinor, I cry, consumed with guilt and worry. Brave movie is a reminder for me … [Read more...]
