Define Adulting {from Google} Adulting - (informal) behaving in a way characteristic of a responsible adult, especially by accomplishing mundane but necessary tasks. But... It's not yet added to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. It's a word they're watching, though. I am today years old when I learned that "adult" is also a verb. Nowadays, when people act responsible like paying the bills, they'd say they're "adulting". Do you use this word as well? So, happy new year, adults! My journey to … [Read more...]
July And Kidzville, Cymplified!
It's November, and I'm still talking about July? Am I crazy? Probably. But... July was a month of hot and sunny days. And also cold, wet, rainy and stormy days. Of the children's staying home three days before one weekend because of class suspension. July was a month of broken scanner glass plate. Of nervousness and palpitation. Of pain on the left side of the chest. Of a dark cloud looming overhead. The cloud that is breast cancer. July was a month of Cayla's sudden clinginess … [Read more...]
Taking Gifting to the Next Level, Cymplified!
Taking Gifting To The Next Level is my entry to the Nuffnang and SM Supermalls blog contest. In the blink of an eye, it's November already! Pretty soon, Christmas will arrive.

It will be furnished with a library … [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...]
Wife After God By Jennifer Smith, Cymplified!
I believe that there's always room for improvement in each of us. We can always be better versions of ourselves. We can always do better in each of our own roles. I can be better in my role as a wife. I can be a better wife with God's help. That's how @unveiledwife's Wife After God 30 day marriage devotional has been an instrument in my aim to improve as a wife. This devotional encourages Christian wives to "draw closer to God and to their husbands". I know that people say, "If it ain't broke, … [Read more...]
Nail Spa Lounge in the South, Cymplified!
It's always such a treat for us moms to receive pampering on our hardworking hands and feet. I was the recipient of such a treat from Nail Spa Lounge by Ellabell. The branch I went to was the newly opened one located on the 2nd floor Alfresco area Robinsons Las Piñas. I went along with my husband Ricky to photograph the nail salon's facade. The outside kind of looks like a café, don't you think? The ambience of this nail salon was very welcoming. I think it's because of the … [Read more...]
