2014

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Getting Married

The details of planning and budgeting for a wedding is stressing me big time!
So before I lose my cool and turn into a bridezilla, I decided to write about my experience.
Hence, a new blog was created.

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.

The blogs name is Weddings and Blogs. First on the agenda is create a mood board.
Below is a picture of it. Tell me what do you think of the new blog and the mood board. :)

Tea, Brownie or FB?

Sitting on a rainy evening sleepy and bored to my wits waiting for boyfie to finish work so we can go home.

Tea, a cup of warm brownie and FB seems to be a good company...

My Romance with Happiness

 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.

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.

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.

I am blessed. In so many ways, I know.

I have come to acknowledge that happiness is not a permanent thing.

Some days you soak in it, some days, no matter how you crave for it, you just can't find it.

Maybe, that's the way it should be.
