Celebrate joy!

After eating, strolling and shopping... we headed to Forest House to have coffee and desserts. Yes, eating again! Haha! All 7 of us enjoy dining and laughing over random things, that's why we're friends!   Forest House is a B&B/restaurant that has a classy ambiance perfect for an intimate family gathering or a romantic setting -- definitely works for dates or even for proposals! Shout out to all couples out there!

When I was a kid, I remember telling my family and my cousins this the first time we went to Baguio, "Buti pa dito malamig, sa Pilipinas ang init." :P The hours of land travel had left me thinking that we have crossed the Philippine border and have landed in a different country :D They all cracked up at my statement, then told me that we are, in fact, STILL IN THE COUNTRY.  The cool weather, zero-visibility fog, smell of sweet strawberries and everlasting are all welcoming treats of this city up North. That's why when the rest of the santayopuntathis2015 gang (IBM friends! Ais, Zen, Ging, Tle, Zsa and Heaths) suggested that we go to Baguio for the weekend, I was all geared up to go!   Next time na ang everlasting love, everlasting flowers muna! #hugot2015 

It's official, tomorrow marks my 30-day turnover at work. Yahoooo! Yes, I'm resigning from work and this has been pressing on my mind since the start of the year... but God has finally pushed me to be brave, to stop worrying and just trust. So through the 3-day Teachers Summit last weekend, the message had been loud and clear -- no more waiting, just do it. So I did!

The 3-day Teachers' Summit has been such an amazing experience... With 500+ volunteers of Victory Kids Ministry across the Philippines, a great revival has come upon each and every one of us. The moment that He provided for the summit's registration fee of the summit, I knew that He wanted me to be at the event -- maybe it's to tell me something, or to ease my worries, or just to jolt me with energy and excitement as I peel myself away from the routine-like way of worshiping Him... Whatever it was, I knew I was growing in anticipation as the summit drew closer :)  "Edi Wow!" - Victory Greenshills reprezent!

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Hope you're all enjoying this lovey-dovey time of the year! Here's one of my favorite love quotes -- so to all couples out there, I admire your courage and audacity! And to all singles, there's a reason for this time of waiting --- I also wish you the courage and patience to wait for the one person He is molding into His likeness until you meet :) Photo credits: violetvelveteen.tumblr.com

Just arrived from Baguio early this morning and it was such a fun trip :) It's been awhile since I've been there (8 years ago) so that was a much-welcomed weekend with a bunch of crazy friends! I seemed to have a lot of crazy friends nh? Ganun talaga!!! Haha! Will write about it soon! Here's a picture of us at Baguio Craft and Brewery, just enjoying our drinks (Yup, that's strawberry beer!) under the stars and the full moon. Overlooking skyline pa! No kidding! It was such a perfect place to just chill and hang out :) Hope you all had a fun weekend! Cheers!

They say that beautifully shaped eyebrows are the windows to the soul...  Ay! Eyes pala yun! Eto na talaga: Never underestimate the power of a perfectly shaped eyebrows :) I even saw this one quote which made me smile: All I want is world peace AND awesome eyebrows.. I may have laughed if someone were to say that out loud but the joke was half-meant... and I realized the weight of that statement the moment I came out of Browlab last weekend. I really felt that my entire face lit up after having their services! :)
