<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
Travel, no
matter the reason, has always been a life changer for me. It has affected me
even way before I was born. My father was a soldier from Cebu assigned to the
south most region of the country. My mother hailed from Dapitan who was given a
scholarship for a state university in a land she has never heard of. They had
to travel, leave their hometowns and see what Tawi-tawi has to offer to their
young lives. It was because they traveled that they met, fell in love, got
married and had me and my brother.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
grew up knowing that travelling is a necessity in our life. We travelled
because of work, deaths and family. My parents’ jobs required for us to live in
Zamboanga. There, I was exposed to a mixture of culture, ethnicities and religion.
Because I was raised in such melting pot, I never developed a prejudice in
color, tribe ang faith. Deaths in the family called for us to pay our respects
in Dapitan and Dumaguete. Family was always a good excuse to travel. May it be
a wedding, reunions or fiestas, the clan requires our presence thus we travel.
I don’t know which one feels better, to see your distant relatives or to have a
short getaway from the usual life back in the hometown.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
During my senior
year in college, our class had a week-long tour to Luzon. We went to Subic where
I was hugged by an aeta, I got to see the Taal Volcano, saw Rizal’s place in
Cavite, passed by Batangas, Laguna and Pampanga. I got to explore the noisy
Manila and its huge malls. It was when my romance with coffee started. Aside
from the sight-seeing bit, we were also shown into some really massive
Information Technology companies. Before the tour was over, I already told
myself that I will be working for one of those companies and since we didn’t
have those back in my hometown, I knew I had to leave after graduation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
Graduation came.
I, an eager fresh graduate wanting to take on the corporate world was lured
into the beauty of the English-speaking and coffee-drinking life in a call
center. I was sent to Davao for training and had to live on my own for few
months. It was really tough for me. I had to do things on my own for the first
time. Starting from waking myself up for work, preparing my meal, doing the
dishes to doing my laundry, I had to do everything! It was hard and I went back
home. I failed at being independent, or so I thought. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
Just few weeks
after I got home, I was already making plans and eyeing Cebu as my next
destination. Lucky for me, I was invited by my cousin for Sinulog. I took the chance
and somehow made it here in Cebu. This place for me, has a little of
everything. It gives me the laid back feeling of a tropical Island and at the
same time, it presents itself as a metropolitan. Capable of nursing different
industries, infrastructures and all the modernization bit. The beaches are
gorgeous and pristine. The people, warm and friendly yet they can be headstrong
and frank. Cebu became my second home and although I still visit my folks a few
times a year, I now refer to Cebu when I say “Uuwi na ako” (I’m going home)
after each travel.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
fell in love with Cebu and I fell in love in it. I have been as far north as Baguio
and as far south as Tawi-tawi, only to find my heart here in Cebu. Now, I am
married to a person who shares my lust for travelling. We keep a bucket list of
places we would want to go to here and abroad. Although we have our favorite
places, few times each year, we would go to places we haven’t been to.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
As of writing,
we both won a round trip ticket from Cebu Pacific Air for Hong Kong. We took it
as a sign that the universe is conspiring for us to go and really see the
world! This will be the first trip abroad for us. We are both looking to that
new experience and eager to see the new us after the travel.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
was once reprimanded by an elderly for not making up my mind on which place to
settle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She reminded me that “Rolling stones
gather no moss”, but I dare said “If I was a stone, I wouldn’t worry about any
moss. I’d roll and be a well rounded stone.” I believe that whenever you travel,
a piece of your old self stays with that place and a piece of that place
becomes a part of you. Travelling will shape you, change you and make you a new
person whether you will it or not.</div>

So much have happened since my last post. There's a very strong earthquake, the strongest typhoon, polar vortex and a near cancellation of my wedding. Through it all, I am thankful that I am still here and the people I love and love me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, 2014, and few days away from my wedding day, though anxious that things can go wrong, I am excited. I know I won't have the wedding as pictured on my wedding mood board but I consider myself lucky for having a wedding considering. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My relationship with my fiance has gone stronger and our baby is growing to be a smart and playful girl that she is. I'm training her to walk the aisle and even made her dress.</div>

I still have to constantly remind myself that the minor details, are not as important as what I thought. I should not let myself be stressed by this minute detail.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With this, I might as well share the current book I am reading which greatly helped me pull down my stress level to it's tolerable range.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff by Richard Carlson is a nice book that reminds us that life should be enjoyed and not be stressed over. Like if a phone call is missed, a to-do list not cleared or a note which was forgotten, is not the end of the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got the Omnibus collection that deals with life, money and work... the biggest stressor for me! So if you all was able to get a copy throw me a few lines of what you think about this book or what not and maybe we can exchange thoughts on this. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With so much time on my hand since quitting from my last job, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been looking for ways to make the most of my day. There's grooming and playing with my dog, wedding stuff, blogging and surfing the web, doing the laundry and tidying up the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still, I feel I have plenty of time left for the day and most of the time I just spend it sleeping and it makes me so tired and feeling bummed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Getting a full-time job as of the moment is not an option and while I am looking for a part-time gig, I turned to pastry. Lately I have been playing with the baking oven my mother gave me for Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My fiancee is my not-so-critical judge as he praises all of my creations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have done a couple by following basic recipes online and adding my personal twist to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They're pretty easy to make and when I am confident enough, I will be sharing my personal recipes on here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the meantime, please have a look at the pictures and let me know if they look yum or not.</div>

I like that I can share quotes, my thoughts and realizations to my network. I like that when people comment and let me know that they either appreciate what I posted, found it amusing or is sympathizing.<br />
<br />
Lately though I have discovered Pinterest and got really hooked in this. Boy, I pinterest like crazy that I even do it just to put me to sleep. I am so amused at everything that is pinned on there. From crafts, food, decor, quotes, fashion to places! It inspired me a lot that even though I have no followers on it, I don't mind because in it, I have my own world. I feel like I am window shopping which is one of my favourite activities.<br />
<br />
On the crafts category, I keep my own pin board for it which I gingerly named "Creative Corner". I re-pinned stuff that I want to do in the future and true enough just yesterday I was able to recreate one!<br />
<br />
I saw this super easy to do DIY Weekly Menu Board. What do you think of my very own Menu Board?<br />

You only need a whiteboard marker and eraser to write on it. I figured it is perfect! No messy chalk, it is more waterproof than the old chalkboard and the templates are cute! Now I am thinking of using a frame for my To do's Board!<br />
<br />
If you would like to check out how it works and how it is done, you may refer to this helpful website. Have fun! http://www.infarrantlycreative.net/2013/04/weekly-menu-planner-templates.html<br />

So before I lose my cool and turn into a bridezilla, I decided to write about my experience.<br />
Hence, a new blog was created.<br />
<br />
I intend for this blog to be my tracker so I can look back at all this and know what I did and how I pulled it off. Not that I plan on getting married again, I think this will be a nice reference for other new brides, event coordinators or fellow readers who are going through the exact same thing right now.<br />
<br />
The blogs name is <a href="http://weddingsnblogs.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Weddings and Blogs</a>. First on the agenda is create a mood board.<br />
Below is a picture of it. Tell me what do you think of the new blog and the mood board. :)<br />

While I agree that people should not starve themselves just to achieve a certain weight, people should also be sensitive to skinny people. We have feelings too and I for one did ask to be like this.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All my life I have been skinny. I've tried supplements, workouts, pigging out and even oriental ways of gaining weight but none worked. I would gain a couple of pounds then lose them eventually when stressed or sleep deprived.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My point though is, a lot of people whine because they are fat and that life would be easier if they lose weight when they have not even tried hearing or reading the lines "anorexic", "feed her", "throw food at her" yada yada...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;"> I have been in constant pursuit of happiness that it has become a love-hate relationship with myself. I love myself when I am happy and I hate myself to the core when I am not.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;">Happiness for me is defined as that warm feeling inside me. It can be a twinge of that feeling that comes as a smile, or it can be an outburst of loud laugh and sometimes tears.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;">I am most of the time happy. Yet, there are days when I feel so depressed that I don't feel like moving and want to be just over and done with the day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;">I am blessed. In so many ways, I know.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;">I have come to acknowledge that happiness is not a permanent thing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;">Some days you soak in it, some days, no matter how you crave for it, you just can't find it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;">Maybe, that's the way it should be.</span></div>
