Today is my day. by Ceemee Today, I will look in the mirror and smile. I will smile at my pores, my wrinkles, my lines - my flaws! I will also cry when I feel like it. Today, I will dance when I hear upbeat music come on. I will enjoy every wiggle and every waggle of my body. I will also sit still and simply stare into space. Today, I will laugh at even the silly and corny things. I will relish the sound of heartfelt laughter. I will also cry when I feel like it. Today, … [Read more...]
Family Getaway: Jeju Island Trip Preparation, Cymplified!
I was looking forward to this trip. I also was not. One thing I was sure of is that there must be a Jeju Island trip preparation for our family. I looked forward to cooler weather since it turned sizzling summer here in the Philippines. I also looked forward to experiencing some of my family's firsts. It was our first time to travel internationally together. It was our first time to set foot on Korea. It was our first time to experience Spring. It was our first time to see Cherry Blossoms in … [Read more...]
The Master And Her Piece: Toni of Wifely Steps, Cymplified!

Glimmer Girls: London Art Chase by Natalie Grant, Cymplified!
Each person seeks his true self, her sparkle, his gift to the world, her purpose in life. That's what Maddie, aged 10, was figuring out in London Art Chase, and what I'm still figuring out at 34 years of age. It must be a middle child thing. Another thing we have in common is that we like to draw. At least, I did before I started adulthood. I realized that I am a stickler for following rules because when someone did what she was not supposed to, I felt uncomfortable. But, I know that stories … [Read more...]
Guest Post: Why I Needed A Wedding Planner, Cymplified!
When my hubby and I got married, we didn't hire a wedding planner. We considered it, though. But after talking to one, we decided it was beyond our budget. Looking back, I wished we got one, even just the on-the-day package offered. There were things that happened in the reception that were cringe-worthy. But, I quite enjoyed the planning and the sourcing with my partner prior to our special day. It was like doing a project together. For those who are engaged, are about to plan their dream … [Read more...]
Family Day Out: Mind Museum Madness, Cymplified!
It was the Sunday before school started again after the Christmas and new year break. We were wondering... "Where to go? What to do?" Those were the usual questions when thinking of activities for our family. While I was washing the dishes, The Mind Museum came to mind and good thing hubby scored an online deal for five all-day passes at a discounted price. After a filling lunch at S&R, we excitedly headed to The Mind Museum and we spied some superheroes outside. I snapped this … [Read more...]
Give & Receive Grace, Cymplified!
Are you learning to give and receive grace like I am? My daughter was drawing something and then she stopped. Curious, I went to look for her paper so I could see what she drew. I found it in the trashcan, instead, with a word scribbled over some sketches and erasures: FAILURE! I felt like I was punched. "I am not good at this! What's the use of trying? It's a fail!" I wish to never hear these sentences from my children. I don't want them disheartened. Sentences that I sometimes … [Read more...]
