I have always felt like a dark cloud is following me everywhere I go. Everywhere I look I am reminded of it. This dark cloud is made up of a cluttered desk resulting in me writing and blogging on the dining table, of the children's toys unsorted and overflowing, of digital pictures scattered - in the PC, in the USB, in the laptop, of untold stories I haven't yet shared on my blog, and other things on my growing to-do list with unchecked tasks. It's so overwhelming and I feel enslaved by this … [Read more...]

Banish Boredom, Cymplified!
I think that more than hate, one thing that would be detrimental to a relationship or end it altogether, is apathy. Apathy happens when a husband stops showing his wife his appreciation through words and actions and vice versa. Apathy happens when a stay-at-home-mom gets tired of the doing the same things every single day for her family. Apathy happens when a child doesn't want to talk with his parents for fear of being scolded. Apathy happens when boredom settles in. I am currently reading … [Read more...]
Creative Soul, Cymplified!
I could relate with @iamaimeediego when she said in one of her posts that she had a creative itch but didn't know how to express it. I feel like I am stuck in a creative funk lately, but I am not currently working on anything. I feel like I should be creating something: poems? painting? crafts? I used to think that I have a creative soul, although I am all thumbs with crafts and gift-wrapping But seeing other people create something beautiful, something people like instantly, well, it just … [Read more...]
Old School Blogging, Cymplified!
Blogging, before, was very personal and it's about putting one's self out there. These days, it seems that more blogs are about brands and contain applicable or practical information. Don't get me wrong, these blogs are great for obtaining useful tricks on lifestyle & parenting, and tips on the products & services that ordinary people like me would actually use. But unless a blogger attains celebrity status, or a celebrity decided to blog, the really personal blogs are being disregarded, … [Read more...]
Wedding And Marriage Thoughts, Cymplified!
One of my cousins from my dad's side got married last week. Beautiful wedding. It brought to mind memories of my own wedding... And the several things I wanted to change: The proposal. One of my wedding entourage. The way I held my father's arm while walking down the aisle. The photographer. Where we took photos after the ceremony. The time the reception started. The host. My speech. I didn't know better then. We didn't have a wedding coordinator. I didn't know I was going to give a … [Read more...]
In Her Shoes, Cymplified!
The result of being compared with other people who were seemingly more beautiful, more talented and smarter was a girl who is insecure, who isn't sure of what she really wanted and who is striving to be someone else. Her decisions were made for her. She was living a meaningless and purposeless life. She was willing to settle for mediocrity. There was a span of time when she was following one of her schoolmates from high school on Facebook. She would read about a fairytale wedding, the expensive … [Read more...]
