My mother always told me that I have the hands of a lazy child. Why, you ask? Well they have always been so soft and I always kept them polished and well moisturized. To be quite honest, I have always thought that the most beautiful part of my body were my hands. But as of late, I have found my hands getting more and more worn down in…
As I sat in the kitchen chair of our apartment in Morocco, a friend of mine dropped a certain line that will, most likely, stick with me forever. "You can't be with somebody who doesn't want to see you win," she said.…
If you told me a few years back that I would be living this life I have now, I never would have believed you. As I have previously said on some of my blog posts, I never intended to travel the world and I am just a small town girl from the Philippine archipelago. But in a snap of a finger, God changed the course of my life and…
I am not one to talk about, or share, about private things that are going on in my life. But there has been one thing that I have been struggling with so badly these past few weeks. What is it, you ask? Well, it is diving back into the dating scene. How does a person, who has been so accustomed in a long term relationship, dive back into…
I've felt more at home with strangers sitting on a beach in a secluded island in Thailand, than sitting in this dining room with people I've known all my life. I've never felt so uncomfortable that all I wanted to do is go out and cry because it made my heart so full. I've never met so many judgmental people who look down on a specific person just…
So it is already October and after Halloween and Thanksgiving, comes Christmas. Now I get asked a lot by friends, family and even my ex boyfriends about what gift I would like. I guess I'm not really that materialistic so I always end up saying, "It's completely up to you." However, this could bring a lot of confusion and they might end up giving you something that you…
Lately, I have been working every single day from 9a to 2a. That is how long my days are--sometimes even longer. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. I love my life, and I love all the work that I am doing. But this past weekend, I was reminded that it is completely normal and that it is alright to take some much needed rest.…
I am pretty sure that based on the title of this post, you would know that this is not a particularly happy story. Yes, you have read that right. In the last two years, I was denied entry to Canada by the Canadian Embassy, not once, not twice, but three times! On my first try, I was in New York. I was going to accompany my cousins (who…
If there is something that I really love in the morning, it is a cup of my hot coffee and the sound of my morning worship. I feel like when I start my day with Jesus, it just goes on really smoothly. So in this post, I would like to share with you all my morning playlist, as of late.…
I cannot emphasis enough how much of an impatient person I am. I hate waiting in line or waiting for my order to arrive, especially when I am starving. The idea that you have to wait for something or someone is so dreadful to me. I also think that that is the reason why God is making me wait. What is He making me wait out for? Well,…
