Crepes, tea, dreams and stories of faith—Those are exactly what we feasted on when I met up with Karen, Bea, and Kat one Monday afternoon at La Creperie Moderne in Makati. It was one week after the first gathering of Pursuit Manila, and because Bea and Kat couldn't make it to the ...
The Story of Dawn & Rain’s Names
We're on Day 7 of Pursuit Community's Seek Devotional, and yesterday the reading was from a verse that's very close to my heart, a promise that my husband and I remember every single day because they run around our home in the form of two energetic toddlers named Dawn & ...
Pursuit Manila: The First Gathering
The First Pursuit Manila Gathering, class picture yay! So THIS HAPPENED, and I know it's about time I blogged about this, right? After all, for the past 2 weeks many of you have emailed me and expressed your curiosity about Pursuit and asked me details about the next gathering, ...
Hear Ye, Pursuit Community is Here in Manila!
I've been holding off on blogging about this news for weeks now, but here goes. You see, when I said I had affirmations that I chose the right One Word for 2015 (pursue), this is one of those major affirmations I was talking about. First, let me tell you about the Pursuit ...
My One Word for 2015: Pursue
I knew what my word was going to be few days before 2014 ended, and the first few days of 2015 brought me major affirmations that this, indeed, is THE word. But first, let's talk about passion. Last year I faced my fears and chose a word that kept me on my toes the whole year: ...
52/52: It’s a Wrap!
Photographs of our twin daughters, once a week, every week, this 2014. We were at a 4-day family reunion during the last week of the past year, and it was a perfect culmination to the awesomeness that 2014 was. It was also a time of rest, slowing down, and ...
51/52: Christmas Gifts
Photographs of our twin daughters, once a week, every week, this 2014. It's true what Jodi once said, something about this project feeling like a countdown of sorts. Here we are at Week 51 of this 52 Week Project, and I still can't believe how fast the year has ...
50/52: Cebu
Photographs of our twin daughters, once a week, every week, this 2014. It was a weekend of firsts. First plane ride, first Cebu trip (for David and the kids), first boat ride, first island-hopping experience. We're happy to have an "excuse" to try out flying, something ...
49/52: December Wedding
Photographs of our twin daughters, once a week, every week, this 2014. December 1, 2014. The same old story: It was a special day (it was my cousin's wedding), in a special place (back in the good ol' Fernbrook Gardens), and I made sure to bring our bulky DSLR in hopes ...
December Dawn
I woke up this morning to the sound of the rain. Stuck in a tangle of tiny arms and legs, I breathed in the familiar silence that comes with the beginning of each day—the calm before the storm, moms would say. It was the morning before Christmas and I wanted to bottle it all up: ...
