Isaac is growing up fast! He's turning 2 years old this week, and his Mom and Dad threw an advanced birthday party for him last Saturday. There's something about balloons and little kids running around that makes my heart turn jell-o. You bet, Saturdays are made for ...
Rachel, Joana & Me; and that Sunday afternoon at Harbour Square
It doesn't feel like a long time ago when they were still kids. And I say kids because it *once* felt like I was significantly older than they were, back when they were in grade school and I was in junior high. As part of the youth ministry in church, I was given the ...
A Day at The Malayan Plaza Hotel
Going out of town is one of my frustrations lately. Traveling is something I've always wanted to do with my husband, but we haven't done so much travelling since Boracay. I thought having a permanent travel buddy would give me more courage to explore and go places, but our ...
Living on the rooftop, Google SkyMap, and flying lanterns
Ready for a special edition of 3 Beautiful Things?? 1. Living on the roof. God has blessed us with a beautiful home for two, with a spacious rooftop veranda, and an amazing view of the sky. When we're home, we feel like we're on top of the world, literally and figuratively. It's ...
Just Believe
If there's one day, just one day, in your life where you made a decision that changed you forever, when was it? No, it wasn't my wedding day, life-changing as it had been. Today I'm thinking of a day that's quite similar to a wedding, because it also involves a ...
My Husband Turned 28
It's not the first time we celebrated his birthday together. Last year we were in New York, but his birthday was also the last day of my trip and I was flying back to Manila the very next day. Our emotions were all over the place, I remember. We busied ourselves doing last minute ...
On God’s Grand Scheme of Things
It's my husband's birthday today/yesterday (today in New York, yesterday in Manila). I intend to post a longer blog with lots of photos as soon as I find time, but for now, a quick post before I retreat to bed. As his birthday was about to end, my husband and I reflected upon ...
Meanwhile I’m Putting Up More Twinkly Lights
I like quoting from movies, even if no one gets it. And sometimes I like explaining them too, when no one gets it. :p In You've Got Mail, when Kathleen Kelly's book shop was starting to lose sales after Fox Books opened within the block, she confidently shrugged off the ...
More Photographs from Boracay
1. Photographs from Boracay, part 2. I was saving these photos for a separate post, just 'cause this is my favorite set. These photos were taken on the morning of our last day in Boracay, before I got horribly sick. Still, I love that I got to preserve the best parts of our ...
Photographs from Boracay
The following photographs were stolen with our MacBooks, so if ever you see them anywhere beside my Facebook account and this blog, let us know 'coz we're still looking for suspects. Haha. (Kidding, we've let that issue go and have forgiven the bad people, just for the record.) ...
Day 30: Home is wherever I’m with you
30/30: Anything goes! After almost two months, this 30-day project has finally come to an end. And although it took me double the time to finish this one, the fulfillment is still the same as (if not greater than) the first time I did it. And so our fairy tale wedding was ...
Day 29: Hey, it’s November 13!
29/30: Self-portrait. Yay, it's a photograph of us taking a photograph of us beside a cake-topper that looks like us. (: The days feel like getting longer. David has started going to school and we're once again adjusting to some schedule changes. For one, he has classes on ...
