I first read the story of Nickerbacher, the funniest dragon as a picture book. It was a pleasant surprise to learn about the new Nickerbacher chapter book. At first, I thought it's a continuation of the picture book. Consequently, I realized that it's kind of an expanded version. There were still pictures; but the story was more in-depth. If you happen to be a dragon and you happen to want to be a comedian, then this book is for you! Seriously, this is a nice read for children who can handle … [Read more...]

Start Right Here, Cymplified!
“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” ― Theodore Roosevelt start right here When I find it in my heart to do something, I agree that "the first step is always the hardest." "But, it's the only way to reach the second step," said Susan Gale. Therefore, I remind myself to start right here. Face that blank page. Paint that first stroke. Write that first sentence. It is scary to start something, which I have no idea what's going to happen to it in the end. Is it worth it? … [Read more...]
Value In Aloneness, Cymplified!
being alone... I don't remember going to the canteen by myself, buying my own food and sitting down to consume it alone, in grade two. It seemed that I was always with a friend, or a classmate, doing things together. Maybe I don't remember correctly. Although, I do remember that I mostly had lunch alone in college. When I wasn't part of a block anymore, I rode the jeep from one school building to another without a companion. I had a different schedule from the people I know. There wasn't a … [Read more...]
Make The Starbucks Planner My Own, Cymplified!
How is your January coming along? I was excited to use my new planner when the clock struck 12 on the 1st of January. By this time, I have an idea of how to make the Starbucks planner my own. A photo posted by Cym M (@ceemee) on Dec 31, 2016 at 8:29am PST After using the Mommy Blogberry, the Momme and the Mommy Mundo Mom 24/7 planners (in no particular order), for sure the Starbucks planner is not super detailed. Yet, since 2015, I went back to using it for some reason. … [Read more...]
Start Anew, Cymplified!
start anew, begin again In 2016, I started a project called Joyful Days. It's a collection of watercolor calendar inserts for my Starbucks planner this year. I will show them to you guys soon. Positivity may be my word for the year. I think I am negative, to my kids and especially to myself. I want to choose love, to focus on the good. Sounds easy, right? Yet it is hard heart♥work. Many times I have failed. I have criticized. I have made myself cry. It's a new year. Therefore, let's start … [Read more...]
When Doubt Whispers, Cymplified!
When doubt whispers, what will you do? There are times when I find myself in a sinkhole. It's scary. It's dangerous. It's called doubt. Do you know what's beneath it? Depression. People tend to dismiss doubts as they are tiny, like seeds. They don't easily catch our attention as they move stealthily, creeping into consciousness. Like thieves, unexpectedly they steal our joy and peace. But if these seeds are watered with feelings of failure and regrets, they will grow … [Read more...]
