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...]
Googly Gooeys Watercolor & Lettering Workshop, Cymplified!
I have been commenting on and following the blog of Googly Gooeys since... I don't know when. I always find it amusing, light-hearted and I could relate with most of the topics. The colorful cartoons the creator Tippy illustrates make me crack a smile or giggle silently. If I laugh too loud, my children would peer into my screen and probably take over my laptop since the site is very eye-catching for kids and for adults who love colors. I mentioned before that I decided to take up watercolor … [Read more...]
Life Is …… by Judah Smith, Cymplified!
Have you ever asked the question "What is life?" I think that most people, at some point in their lives, have wondered about the reason for their existence. I know I have. Many times. People dabble in different hobbies, even religions, to find out what they should be doing for the rest of their lives or where they should belong. Have you? "Why am I here?" "Why did you make me, God?" "What is the point of all these?" "What is the meaning of life?" I imagine entering a quaint coffee … [Read more...]
