Read Fave: Top 7 Reading List

There are curl-up worthy books that you just want to bury with under the covers... then there are the click-worthy blogs with thoughts, fads and raves meant to be consumed while sitting in front of the computer or with your mobile devices.

So I thought I'd give the latter ones the spotlight they deserve: here are some blogs and websites I have been happily visiting lately :) Click, read and bookmark away, loves!


1. Shauna Niequist


Words come so easy for some people and Shauna's words are reflective, meaningful and resonates well with those feelings that you sometimes don't even know existed.

Sometimes when I read her posts, I just wanted to say, "That's me! I know exactly what that feels like!" Well, I guess, that's what makes a great writer, right?

Author of 3 books -- one specializing in cooking and hosting parties, and the other two celebrating the bittersweet and the extraordinary moments of life-- Shauna is also the mother of 2 boys and a lover of 1 God. Those are the numbers that this amazing woman lives and writes about.

2. Lauren Conrad


If you ask me who are my style icons, I would've answered Rachel Bilson and Lauren Conrad. While Rachel has clearly got that spunk and sexy cuteness, Conrad has the class and elegance.

Her fashion sense, combined with her knack for writing (yep! She authored the L.A. Candy series for the young adults), and her countless connections, makes her blog more than just a blog, really... it's actually a website! It's a digital platform brimming with so many ideas and information for the girlies of today.

From cooking, to fashion, food, craft and books, LC's website is a melting pot of brilliant ideas of the contributors who specializes in their respective fields. Talk about website versatility and personality. Kudos LC!

3. Aaron Niequist

Okay, so I am fan of the couple. Who wouldn't be? These two are powerhouses in their own right. While Shauna's outlet for her creativity is expressing it through words, Aaron communicates through music.

I like how he always goes back to what the church should be about and how he reminds Christians to go back to the center -- which is Christ. Stripping down religion to its core, Christiantiy is first and foremost an inclusive and all-encompassing love of Christ.

4. Apartment 34

Want to make your house feel like the warmy-fuzzy kind of home? Well, head on over to Apartment 34 "where style lives happily after." With topics like decors, fashion, food, travel and shopping, this site adds an air of sophistication to all things which can be style-worthy.

5. Everyday Isa
Everyday Isa is like listening and talking to your most trusted friend. Isa writes with depth and meaning that talks to women on how true beauty is on the inside.

When I read her posts, I know she is helping women out there celebrate differences and uniqueness.

Such is a girl power.

6. Kryz Uy

Been a fan of this girl for years now. Her friendly tone and her talent for making anything thrown together look amazing and fashionable is just nothing short of admirable.

Stepping out of her usual fashion posts, she now started documenting foodie posts... and yes, she has travel write ups too. Yaaay!

7. Dessert Comes First

When Lori Baltazar describes food, she describes it in a way that makes you feel like you have feasted and taken a bite yourself.

Her precision with words and her unabashed opinions make her posts real and honest. So whether it's an invited feature or she just happened to drop by  one of the newest restaurants in town, she will really say her piece on that dish in front of her -- the highlights and the lowlights.

So there you have it! Just a short rundown of my reading list! I hope to stumble upon more great minds in the digital space, and feel free to tell me what your reading list look like :)

Ciao for now!

Bridal Shower Ideas

Hey pretty ladies! Throwing a bridal shower for your dear friend soon? Here are some ideas that you may want to explore :)

i love You

Just sneaking in a post to share how God has been good to me all my life :) Somehow, no matter how much I try or anyone tries, I haven't felt loved and I couldn't love the way God loves me. When I talk to people and I try to describe God's love, every analogy falls short... simply because His love is just so much more intense and it's unconditional. For this post, I want to share the role that love plays in allowing God to be the Lord of my life. :) When we talk about Lordship, it usually entails a sharp intake of breath and begrudgingly opening our hands to release something that we have held on for too long... but Lordship can also be a natural response to what is already made complete in us. Lordship, at its best, is an expression of love. :)

So You Had a Bad Day

Last Friday, I caught myself getting irritated by the second as I get one bad update after the next at work - confirming either low performance for the month or delay in our campaign activities. I just wanted nothing more but to call it a day and go home...  But since that wasn't an option, I just watched a movie (yup on my own :P) and stuffed my mouth with Taters potato chips (cheese flavor!) and Jamaican pattie (cheesy beef!) later that afternoon. Yup, that made me feel a little better after! We all go through this kind of day, and so soon after ringing in the new year with our hopes and goals too!  Tsktsk! So as I dragged myself to take on the hours that day, I knew that I had to snap out of it and be wary, lest I find myself stuck in the limbo of the daily activities.
