Holy Week in the Philippines sometimes mean traveling with the family. This year was a local trip to Balesin Island. We still had to ride an airplane though. We were at the hangar before sunrise. With this post, I am taking you on a short video-heavy tour of some of the places in Balesin we have set foot on. There were more themed villages to see, like Bali, Phuket, Costa Del Sol and Balesin Village. There were fruit and flower farms, fish and aviary to visit, too. En route to Balesin … [Read more...]
Inter-May-ssion {What’s That Word?}, Cymplified!
What is inter-May-ssion? I remember saying, in my previous post, that I wish I could press pause on May. It may look like I did because this blog was quiet for the whole month of May.

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...]
