As the year is about to end and I ponder upon what the Lord has done this 2015, it goes without saying that Pursuit Manila is high up on my gratitude list. If you follow this blog and my stories about Pursuit Community this year, you already know what a crazy journey 2015 has ...
Pursuit Manila: Made with Love at Neil’s Kitchen
Something special happened at Neil's Kitchen one Saturday in October. Because of an insistent demand from many of our south-based members, Pursuit Manila went to Alabang and had our first gathering at the lovely Neil's Kitchen. And what could be a better place than ...
Pursuit Manila Thanksgiving and Year-ender
I blink and suddenly, it's November!! (Wait what?) And yes, to those who noticed, I have been MIA from this blog for more than a month. But let's not talk about my absence right now. Instead, let's talk about Pursuit Manila's last (and probably the grandest) gathering of the ...
Pursuit Manila Arts & Crafts Fair

Pursuit Manila Retreat & New Adventures
Three of the women in this photograph, Jamie, Madz and Love, I just met this year. One of them, Sheila, and I have been really good friends in high school and college, but other than exchanging online messages and comments here and there, I didn't see her all that much until this ...

Pursuit Manila: March Gathering & Creative Workshop

We Call Them “Passion Cards” // Buy Now!

Pursuit Manila: Because He First Loved Us
A lot of people have been asking me what Pursuit is all about, and sometimes I find it hard to describe it in just one sentence. The standard answer is, "We're a community of (female) creatives who live to bring God glory through our creative passions, our businesses, our homes ...
