Brain Farts

Taking a quick break from the devo and travel posts lately and just letting my thoughts run and pour over this (digital) space!

I feel like 2017 went by too fast, don't you? We are now on the last two months of the year! But I take it as a good thing, you know what they say, time flies when you're having fun!

It was my first time to go to Prayer Mountain last Wednesday and as I was sitting there surrounded with the lush forest and bamboos (and many mosquitoes lol! it's part of the experience), and I was going through my faith goals for the year... I am amazed how God has been so faithful in my life.




There were certain things that I wanted that He impressed upon me that had to take a backseat so I did... but are now resurfacing with open door of opportunities. It reminds me that sometimes we tend to forget the things we are believing in, but it doesn't mean that He did.

He takes our longings and dreams seriously. And sometimes, He just wants us to wait because He is cooking up something so much better than what we had in mind.

So a project is brewing!!! And I am collaborating with someone super talented, this excites me a lot!!!

My dad is still cancer-free and I am now officially a tita to my 2 weeks old nephew, Caleb! He is truly a God of miracles, our great healer and provider! Our dreams and prayers -- big and small -- are cradled in his mighty yet gentle arms.

And tonight, I'll be exhorting in our offering for our evening service at church. I am nervous but at the same time grateful for the opportunity -- anyway, I did write in my faith goals to "speak and write more for God's glory".

In short, all 12 of my faith goals are either fulfilled or are on its way to being fulfilled! And that realization just struck me as I was sitting there last Monday... behind a wall of prayers and verses and looking at the the beautiful creation before me. Sometimes you just have to take a breather and look back how far God has gone in your life.. and you're bound to see His faithfulness and love etched over it.

How about you? What are your realizations for the year? :)

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.

Japan: Lit Gardens & Shrines in Kyoto + Japan Travel Tips

On our 3rd day, we went to Kyoto! We bought a one-day Keihan railway pass since Kyoto is about an hour away from Osaka. There are different ways to get to Kyoto but the cheapest and fastest is by train. Taxis are very expensive in Japan! Buses and trains are just about the same price so you can plot your way to this famous spot either way. Fushimi Inari Shrine

Getting Beach-Ready with Wink!

Beach! That is what my mind seems to be saying these days, and on Friday we will be flying to a much-loved beach in Visayas (more about that soon). Finally! The sun and the seas! :D But before we don our swimwear and flip-flops, my friend and I made sure to get our skin beach-ready first. So just last Saturday, we went to Wink Laser & Wax Studio to get our waxing fix. We both have had experience in waxing, shaving and plucking so I think it was a great way to try what Wink has to offer differently in the market. Because we already have something to compare it with, we hope to bring something that will break it down into specifics, not just with the service but with the products and the  ambiance  as well. Hygiene is number 1 One thing worth remembering about Wink is its priority on cleanliness. Holly Chang, the young entrepreneur behind this budding business, is a self-proclaimed OC.
