I could feel the quiet excitement bubbling within me when I entered the OMF Literature bookstore on Boni Avenue, Mandaluyong City at around almost three in the afternoon of December 13, 2012. I hitched a ride with my hubby, I didn't mind being early since it's a bookstore and I could spend countless hours in it. Did I ever tell you that I love books? I get giddy receiving new books and had to wait until I am relaxed and settled to start reading. The tips of my fingers get a little electrified … [Read more...]
A Mother’s Heart {Strong and Courageous}, Cymplified!
Strong and courageous, that's how moms need to be for her children. "Motherhood can be painful." I agree with Dainty Mom Martine a hundred percent on that. She related her experience here, which I can identify with since my eldest had febrile seizure too. It just breaks my heart when my children get sick or get hurt. After all, parts of a mother's heart, soul and spirit reside in each of her children. But, mothers draw on strength that she never knew she had. She has courage she thought was … [Read more...]
Tangled, Cymplified!
I loved Tangled the first time I saw it! The cast was adorable, especially Maximus. I think that as more Disney princess movies were made, the princesses have more personality. The music for the part where Rapunzel and the townsfolk were dancing reminds me so much of an instrumental track in The Corrs' album. This led me to conclude that they might be Irish. Then again, I might be wrong. If you love Disney's Tangled, there's a cute blog about it, welovetangled.tumblr.com. The problem … [Read more...]
A Mother’s Heart {Filled with Love}, Cymplified!
Since it's still February, I'd like to talk more about love. Specifically, a mother's heart that is filled with love. My good friend gave me this book, Celebrate Mom, eons ago and it is only now that I started to read it. Remember how I sometimes feel about being a mom? I think this book is a lovely encouragement to me. The motherly love God has placed in my heart is comparable to His unconditional love. This is my affirmation that my calling is a special one. According to the book, a … [Read more...]
The First 365 Days Memory Keeper, Cymplified!
Being a mother, the desire to record each and every one of my child's milestones is a natural thing. But when life (read: feeding then burping the baby, sleepless nights, changing the diapers) gets in the way, updating the first yawn or the first sneeze in the baby book gets waylaid. Enters mommy guilt for forgetting such a significant event in my baby's life. Admittedly, if I wasn't gifted with a baby book for my first child, I wouldn't think of buying one until it was too … [Read more...]
Cinderella, Cymplified!
Cinderella was my favorite fairytale when I was a little girl. And then when Belle came along, Disney's Beauty and the Beast became my new fave, until now. Going back to Cinderella, I had the chance to watch Disney's version with my daughter, one more time. With my more "developed" mind, I saw it in a whole new light. In the beginning, Cinderella sang that "a dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep..." I thought that this made her an advocate of pursuing dreams and wishes. … [Read more...]
