There is a Time for Things to Happen
I always kept on saying that there is a reason for everything, that things happen for a reason, and that there is always that right time for things to happen. Yet, there are times when I doubt these words, doubt too much that I couldn't even express them in this site.
A few months ago I doubted about why changes had to happen in my life. That was the time when I felt very depressed... too depressed...
What's Happening to the World?
I was shocked to read about the news on the Newton shooting where 20 kids were killed when a man open fired inside a school. I was crying too when I watched President Obama's speech, and it just made me all the more sad that there are still poor souls who do not value life. I feel disturbed at the fact...

Sharing: Is Our Fear of Death Destroying Our Planet?
Just want to share this post I read through Facebook.
Accepting the knowledge of our finite life allows us to live with a different concept of time - one that focuses on each moment. It also helps us to understand (I would use "rediscover") our connection to nature.

There is a reason that despite the overwhelming...

The End of the World?
I seriously have nothing to write about. Wait, this is something to write about.... and this something is called "nothing to write about!"
Whatever.
Seriously, I'm in a writing rut right now. Have been, for quite some time already. I don't know what's with this year, but it seems to me that time has passed me by without documenting the wonderful moments that happened this year (Eanna's development,...

You Are Sacred Purpose
You are Sacred Purpose.
You are not your shame, your fears, your addictions, your games, your guilt, the internalized remnants of negative messaging…
You are not your resistance to your true path …
You are not your self-doubt…
You are not your self-distraction patterns.
You are not your escape...

Shooting, Anyone?
This is the first time I experienced shooting a real gun (with real bullets!) and I'm glad that I went along with my colleagues!
It was fun! I was really nervous an scared, but it was really a good experience! I really got scared of the gunshot sounds, plus the guns themselves creeped...

LPU 2012
Much as I wanted to subscribe to LPU this year, I opted not to do so (for now at least) because I know I might get disappointed again. Not because of the membership per se, but last year, I was really this close to meeting Linkin Park. Yes, not just watching them, meeting them. You see, I was one of those selected to meet them for their concert in Singapore, which I was unable to go because of a conflict...

Skyfall
Just a quick share: my nail polish for the week. This is Skyfall, part of OPI's James Bond collection. Easily one of my favorites!
Now I can't wait till I get my hands on the "Man With The Golden Gun" topcoat. It's a limited edition polish, because it has 18k gold flakes! I may not be able to afford...

My Blue Moonstone Ring
So happy to finally receive my customized blue moonstone ring!
There are tiny emerald baguettes on the side because emerald is my birthstone. Why then did I choose the moonstone as my center gem? Well, I have always been inclined towards moonstones (and the moon in general) for some strange reason....
Am I Aging Too Soon?
Warning: vanity entry!
Because my office mates wanted to see the dress I will be wearing for our Christmas party, I tried to search in my photo archives for a picture of me wearing that dress. Sooner I got all depressed and discouraged. I noticed that even after giving birth before, I still looked the same up until 1 year ago. Then all of a sudden I looked vet different. Not only did I gain 20 pounds...

Holiday Season is Near
There is something magical every time the Yuletide season is coming. People tend to be friendlier, jollier, more generous. Even the weather seems to be just perfect!
What I look forward to the most (wait, probably second only as the most I look forward to is Enrique coming home!) is the Christmas...

Vernis Addiction
Oh my goodness. Seriously, my nail polish addiction should stop. I'm getting broke already. I must stop!
How can I when new polishes by A-England cannot be resisted? Argh.

My Little Footballer
Check out my little girl in her first football clinic!
At first she was all skeptical about football but she ended up loving it! When she went home, she couldn't stop telling me what happened and asked when the next football session will be.
I'm so glad that my little girl is into sports too....

Unfocused
Warning: this is depression talking.
Blame it on asthma, but I'm quite feeling down these past few days. Thoughts of discontent, failure, and hopelessness entered my mind during the weekend. I know it's not a healthy thing especially since weekends are supposed to be a time of joy, love, living, and relaxing.
First, discontent. I love my home. I try so hard to make it as home-y and as beautiful...

Blue Moonstones
Blue moonstones... yes, this is my current fixation. For some reason I am drawn towards it. Maybe it's because of what I posted earlier about the Celtic Tree Calendar. Hahaha.
Anyway, I ordered for a custom-made ring and hopefully I will receive it in 1-2 weeks.
It's not as exquisite as the blue moonstone used...

Reading People
There are some people who take pride in being "good in reading people." I don't want to seem rude or negative about it, but honestly, I think it's something that one should not "brag" about as if it's a very good thing to be skillful at.
First of all, maybe it's just my way of thinking, but I don't take too much effort in trying to read people. I don't even want to try, even if one of the strengths...

White Kitchen Is Coming
Finally. I mustered up all that we've got to finally renovate our kitchen area. Yes, I know this was long overdue, but it's ok. Now, it is coming true. I'm gonna have my white kitchen!
Husband was (as always) hesitant about the impracticality of having an all-white kitchen. I know, I know, it will...

On High Standards & Quality of Living
I regularly read the site "The Simply Luxurious Life" and this article caught my attention simply because most of what it said cover the principles in life that I hold dear.
The article has cited 10 examples of high standards and high quality of living:
Fuel your body with food that is from the earth – eliminate all processed foods and refined sugars.

Monroe is Here!
Today I received my two latest polishes from Picture Polish, and boy I was so happy upon seeing them!
I got Monroe and Kryptonite and thank goodness I did not hesitate getting these two. I was torn what to wear between the two, but decided to try Monroe first as it was initially the one I wanted to...

Equal hours of light and darkness
we celebrate the balance of Mabon,

For that which is despair, there is hope.
For the moments of pain, there are moments of love.
For all that falls, there...

Blogging as Income Generating
I've read a couple of blogs lately, each of the bloggers wanting to monetize their blogs or be a major source of income for them. When I was a housewife I tried to find ways on how to earn from blogging, but eventually my interest died down because of the amount of work that needs to be done in order to do so. Aside from these, statistics needs to be looked into. Good thing there are a couple of services...

A-England Nail Polishes
I seriously need help because I have developed a really mean addiction.... Nail polishes! It's kinda obvious because lately I've been blogging more about nail polishes... a little much more than usual.
You can't blame me, because there are a lot of really good nail polishes right now, I'm amazed people...
