My First Nike Pair

There are but a few things that would make a woman giddy with excitement aside from snagging a new pair of shoes. I swear, just the idea of buying myself a pair awhile ago was making me squeal with delight. :) Now that's Christmas is just around the corner, sale kung sale talaga everywhere!!! So today, my agenda was to buy myself a good pair of rubber shoes for gym next week (yes, nagbabalik-loob na po ako).

Although it was years ago since I bought the sporty-kind of shoes, it was only today that I bought a branded pair. I hardly owned anything that was branded the moment I hit grade 4... because that was the time when we went through a financial crisis (just a quick Throwback sharing :P)

My family lost a lot of things during that time -- like our house, cars, businesses... It was a difficult time but it was also a time that my sisters and I were grateful for because that was when we grew up. It was the time when we pushed ourselves to find value and purpose apart from the all the material things that the world offers... and maybe that's why we had to go through it in the first place :)

So it was only when we started working that we started to get back on our feet. We've still got a long way to go in buying ourselves a new house... and I remembered how I told my friend a few years back on how great it would be to have a day when I didn't have to think about money and my fam and I can just shop for whatever we want. Lol! I said that without resentment or bitterness, but with just sheer candidness and excitement. :P

Who knows when that will happen but I'm thankful for today -- I'm thankful that something seemingly so simple and easily dismissive for the rich kids of the world can still make me happy. :)

So yaaaaayyyyy! Thank you Lord for my new kicks! hehe!

Passionately Curious

Here is the post I wrote years ago! I echoed here what I learned from the 2 speakers, Tricia Gosingtian and Ana Santos. Tricia is a fashion blogger, so there's a part of the event in which we all had to pick out and model the outfits from Bayo then Tricia picked out winners from the attendees. So the event started with that then went into the specifics of fashion blogging then writing in general. :) Hope you'll pick up a few writing nuggets! Happy reading and writing!

It's Perfectly Fine Not to Say Anything

Last weekend, we went to this Starbucks branch in Tagaytay and it was really lovely. It was situated below a steep driveway, and unless you know where to look, it would be quite easy to miss. But it's a spacious lot -- with glass doors, paintings, couches, benches and wooden architecture -- it may just be my favorite Starbucks by far.

Ligawan Stage So this is the part where Dennis already laid down his intentions, and I said yes to courtship. I’ll share here the things we learned and what God taught us during this season. Hope this encourages you! Dennis told me to share his insecurities in this blog because he thought that it would encourage the men out there. Some of his insecurities were:
