Celebrate joy!

SURPRISE!!! So I will now work at church as a full time staff starting next week! Geeez! Who would've thought, right? Paano nangyari yun? Haha! :P Hope you'd indulge me with this post, because it was quite a journey for me and if you're on a crossroad right now, hope this helps you :) It started when I was volunteering for the summer activities of Kids Church, that I just really and passionately wanted to help out... I was on fire from the Kids Teachers Summit that whatever I can do to help out, I would! I just resigned from a corporate job, and although I didn't know exactly what I would take as the next step, I know I am going to be fine... Not because I am such an amazing, sought-after employee of the year, but I know that since God led me to make that decision, He will lead me through the next steps :) So during this time of waiting and seeking, I explored different opportunities: Go back to corporate, check!  Be a part time financial advisor, chec...

Heyy! So last weekend, Rhea and I had a crafternoon sesh with the peepz from Craft Mnl. It was my first time to attend a craft workshop so I was really excited about it :P

Hi! It's been awhile... Sorry! I think there may now be spam viewers trolling my site because despite my MIA status on this page for the past month, my views have spiked! That's weird, right? So this is me making sure that this page will be more active in the next few weeks.. *pinky promise* ...but if you are a legit viewer, thanks for visiting! :) Mwah mwah tsup tsup! LoL! So, I am now officially cut off from the corporate world and this is one of the things I enjoy doing -- making desserts! There's a phrase that I came across the IG feed recently: "let's be makers!" and it's just a great thing to be throwing it out there as an invitation to keep the creativity and passion alive by doing and making something... So I tried doing just that... and this week's episode brings you, "The Joys of Dessert-making!"

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!
