Sophia Zayn Turns 1!

 ...and just like that, our baby is already 1-year old! Huhuhuhu! Too fast, my love!

Thankfully (and maybe stubbornly lol), we got to celebrate her birthday last January 16 outside. Whoohoooo! We invited a few fam and friends to mark this milestone with us, and we are super grateful to each one who made her birthday special. 

Siyempre pati host, stylists, program team mga talented ninangs nalang din! Para hindi na dumagdag sa headcount because we can only squeeze in so many people with the social distancing rule. So tayu tayo nalang talaga to haha!

So here are photos of that special day!


















We dedicated her to our Lord Jesus Christ with the help of Pastor Allan Magtoto (also one of our ninongs sa kasal), prayed over her, played games, and ate delicious food!






Since Sophia loves to dance, we had a Looby Loo dance challenge during the program -- and as you can see, our friends from Victory are super competitive and up for it! Fun crowd!




We had a Mulan-themed party because while Sophia will always be our princess, she is a far cry from the damsel-in-distress usually depicted in storybooks. She is our strong and brave girl who loves adventures which is why Mulan is perfect for her personality!















  














Coincidentally, or as destiny would have it -- Sophia and my sister, Hershey share the same birthday. Both of them are born on the 15th of January, so we surprised her also with a cake complete with a birthday song.




Lovely fam and friends who came out! Thanks so much!














Thanks to all your prayers, well-wishes, gifts to Sophia -- but more importantly, your presence! :) May 1 year old na kami!!! Anunaaaa! hahaha!

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. :)

This Thing Called "Grace"

I'll be off work for the rest of the month (yaaaay!) and I'm excited to just sit in coffee shops, with my notebook on hand, or to plop a pillow on the bed and catch up on my reading list... Excited for the quiet stillness that the next several days would bring. There are still merry making days and huling-hirit parties but there will also be quiet times in which I could t just soak in everything and I know that it will do my soul well :) With all the busyness that this season brings, just taking a few moments to take everything in will do you good too :)
