Celebrate joy!

Hi guys! Things are a little better this week! But here some just some thoughts: ideas on change, words, food and friends. :) Life's bullet points for me for the week :) Feel free to share yours too and I'd love to hear of your ideas on these reflections! :) Change can be a good thing These past 2 months, there had been many changes that scared me, that made me want to bolt straight out the door to search for greener pastures. But this past week, I realized that change can actually be a good thing. Sometimes, those are there to mold you into a better person and to make things better. (And those are 2 different things.)

Have you ever had days when you wonder, "what happened to my old self?" I am having one of those lately.  Yikes! Warning: A little coming-of-age/reflections of a 25-year old post vibe right here.

When I came in La Creperie Boheme to have my brunch fix two Saturdays ago, I was quick to smile at the table of yuppies who smiled at my direction. I thought they were friends with Christine, the co-owner of this lovely resto, so I armed myself with an easy smile that seemed a little awkward at first, but was nonetheless sincere. That was the first sign that this was going to be a different-sort of dining experience. :)

For this rainy day, let me just share this video of Erwan Heussaff which speaks of man's utter determination and willpower. From being obese to placing 8th on the most recent IronMan Triathlon competition, and now to running one of the most-visited food blogs in the country, a certified chef and a budding restaurateur at that, I have to say that I have come to admire this guy not only for his pretty face (come on!) but for his discipline and character. :)

Uma-arte, este... Uma-outfit shot :))

Oh! The glee that a 3-day weekend brings! :) Honestly though, I would've wanted to have a weekend getaway, but I wasn't able to plan on time :( So I am soooo looking forward to doing one of my favorite things in the next few months: travel! So for this long weekend, I spent it balancing exercising, eating, sleeping and catching up on new movies and tv series. In short, chillllaaaaax lang muna tayo . :P

Hey kikay girls! How are you taking care of your skin these days? Manila weather goes for the extreme at times, so sunshine-y on the first day, then it's pouring like crazy on the second day. And with the stress, dust and pollution, come the cry of our skin for help! This is coming from a girl who commutes via bus, train (MRT = Character formation program of the Philippines/ Patience Building Advocacy of RP) and jeep on a daily basis, so I tend to be melodramatic with all the pollution at times :)

It's been awhile since I did a fashion post, and for this post let me put the spotlight on this fashion-forward lady whose style I have come to admire. Ready? :) Vanessa Hudgens This girl has come a long way from her cutesy outfits during her High school Musical days, and have grown her personality and style through the years.
