ROAD TO SELF-RELIANCE

Freedom and independence are two of the synonyms for self-reliance. By definition, it is sustaining oneself with his or her own resources. 

BE BRAVE & BE KIND

Undoubtedly, UK is a beautiful country. 

The winter, alone, can make somebody from the tropics appreciate what was non existent in our home country.

DREAMS

It is 17:59 (already dark) and maybe my PMS gets me into this emotional me, so let's try making sense of why I started to feel down. Hmmm... Bare with me. I'll be talking about dreams and what we are prepared to let go in go in order to reach them.

Dreams are our propellers in life. They make us strive, adjust, sacrifice and yes, even---let go.

SAYING YES TO A DREAM

It's so scary to take that step on who and what you want to become. For many years I kept on delaying this--- intentionally, unintentionally, consciously and unconsciously. The words that you are about to read, came from the deepest part of me and even starting this, makes my heart tremble. It doesn't come from the head but it is built from from the heart. Hear me out.

JIM'S GOOD FOOD ENTRY # 1: KWEK KWEK RECIPE

Today, we have decided to make our own version of "kwek-kwek." This Filipino street food is very popular for both young and old.

MARRIAGE

There isn't a perfect marriage. In fact, marriage is composed of two imperfect individuals who have continuously chosen to stay together even when there are a lot of struggles along the way.

Grandma's 80th Birthday!

My family is Jim's as well. 

Jim has poured himself into this cake for tomorrow's celebration. 

Lola will be celebrating her 80th birthday and we hoped to throw her something special---not grand but will sure be memorable. 

I am looking forward to see her happy. 

CANCER - A WAKE UP CALL!

I picked this flower from my grandmother's garden. 

Just like this flower, my grandma is one gorgeous woman. She will be 80 years old this coming 15th day of June. 

OUR ARROGANT SELVES

When was the last time that you ever felt a really strong and deep despair? Work? Family? Financial problems, perhaps? 

FOOTPRINTS

How do we want to be remembered?

Beautiful Southern Cebu!

Hi! I'll be sharing how magnificent, Cebu really is. The first thing that strike most tourists arriving in Cebu is the amount of traffic there is. But Cebu has a lot to offer than just the city. 

For those willing to take the time and make the effort, there are some truly wonderful sights to be seen. 

Certainly, one good movie--- "A FAMILY MAN"!

When was the last time that you watched a movie and made you think about the most essential aspects of life? 

I never have written a movie review but tonight, Jim and I watched a movie entitled "A FAMILY MAN." After watching it, I get compelled to spread the word--- of how good, the movie really is. It starred my favourite actor, Gerard Butler--- the same man who played in the movie, "REAL STEEL."

I wouldn't be writing about the plot since it would spoil your first hand experience of it. But I would go out of my way, telling you not to miss it. 

HOW WE MET

 It's so easy to get caught up everyday, doing our daily routines and just going about life as it is--- not realizing how blessed we are. How blessed we are to spend our days with people we love most. How blessed we are to get to spend days of our lives with the person that matters. To be able to hug and stroke the face of our loved one.
