Celebrate joy!

Aaaaaaaaahhh Paramore!!!! A little throwback on this amazing band!

Patience is a virtue, so goes the age-old saying... and while waiting may initially come off as a passive way of passing time, there is nothing passive about it at all! Whew! I think that lately God is telling me to wait and not hurry in so many areas in life. I guess I'm the kind of person who gets excited about new things that once I plunge in it, I expect results immediately. And if I fail to see results, would start to worry and start looking somewhere else for a faster route to my desired outcome. Case in point: my biz-aspiring self. I currently have SMFW, which is a bit slow at the moment, and then just last Wednesday, I launched Estelle with my friend Rhea... And while we're getting loves and compliments for our items, I was also in anticipation of customers to start flocking in from day 1. And when that didn't happen, I started to worry... that I made desserts yesterday and took orders from friends, as my mind was racing on what else I can do to pick up the pace...

Hello! Today is Black Saturday! :) We don't really do much during this time of the year, my family and I just stay at home and recharge. Glad to be spending more time with God! Iba kasi kapag hindi ka pagod... When you're 100% recharged, you're also 100% receptive and ready to absorb what your quiet time is all about... So very, very thankful for this season! I know I have posted my 30 day turnover at my current work, but spot the date and I am way overdue already! I was extended until April 17...

Today is day 2 of colds and cough but just glad that I am feeling a little bit better today than yesterday. :) March is turning out to be a pretty interesting month.. it's like a prep for the major adjustments ahead. Sure, there are impending goodbyes, but there are also hellos to new adventures and "Nice running into you again!" to old friends and acquaintances. :) So I hope that you're all wrapping up the 1st quarter of the year with the same level of bravery that we greeted 2015 with. I know!!!! Time flies so fast, it's crazy!!! Soon, we'll be heralding the 2Q and really, with the unpredictablity of life, we should really paint the town with so much passion and love every second of the day! Haha! Am I overromanticing the days? Naaaah! Just being positive, that's all. A positive realist, or is it a real positivist? May ganun ba??? Laboo! Haha!

Terrified of making a bad decision, we lay all of our choices at God’s feet and ask Him, "What is Your will for my life?"

Our 2nd day in Baguio was spent going to ukay-ukay for those thrifted finds, buying last-minute pasalubong (strawberries, grapes, peanut brittle, local nuts, etc!) and stopping at 2 more foodie places to stuff our tummies with good food. 50's Diner Our fist stop for the day is 50's Diner to have our brunch. We already woke up quite late so we trooped over this place which is known for their steaks, burgers and milkshakes. I'm personally drawn to diners because this is like visual feast for me because I grew up reading Western books wherein all characters seemed to eat pancakes and sip milkshakes at their favorite diners. (Hello Sweet Valley and Babysitters Club!)  

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!
