I started this blog in 2006 when I was still a young twentysomething corporate gal seeking happiness and fulfillment at every opportunity. I was on the brink of depression until I decided to take control of my life and choose to be happy. I now work online on my own time, enjoying all the things that give me joy and pleasure, whether at home or while traveling. This blog records and summarizes my adult life's journey.
They say that the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. And so I dream what I want to dream, go where I want to go and be what I want to be. After all, we only have this one life to do what really matters most.
Feel free to take a peek at my journey... come share my happiness with me.
I'm also passionate about:
What a typical year for me is like:
CR EATE YOUR OWN DESTINY.... whatever you ask, the universe always says YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND." --- The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
I do! And my life is now a series of one miracle after another. Good things keep on pouring into my life!!! God is good!

Most photos on this blog are taken either by me or my husband, Peter. We use our Nikon D40, some with my Olympus u725SW (especially underwater shots) and a few with my Nokia fone (for unexpected photo taking). The more recent underwater shots and videos are taken with the use of GE and Agfaphoto HD recorder. I just realized that this is also a nice venue to practice and showcase my skills in photography! Weeee! ^_^

Another pose with Popsy …
Eating some Mediterranean snack while waiting for our take-out order…
On Popsy’s last day, we headed to Mall of Asia late in the afternoon. We checked out the schedule and bought tickets. After ordering take out from Cafe Mediterranean, we headed to the cinema to watch TRANSFORMERS. Man! The line was still very long and we had to wait for 15 minutes before we got in!
On Popsy's last day, I was still riding my personal emotional roller coaster. Peter & I had a short talk that afternoon at home while Popsy was enjoying his last few hours at the Casino. Peter picked me up at home so we can both pick up Pops from Sofitel and spend some quality time with him on his last day here. I finally obliged but because I was such a wreck then, I was crying all the way to the hotel, for no particular reason at all. It felt like I was a teenager again and crying with no apparent reason was the most normal (even if it's so tiring) thing for me to do. (Yeah… I've always been a crybaby since I was born.) I only calmed down when 96.3 WRock started playing songs that I like and I just hugged Peter while he was driving. I just wanted to assure him that he wasn't the problem and I was not blaming him for anything. I just had to cry and he had to let me be without him trying too hard to save me from whatever negative state I was in. He was like that before… he had this messianic tendency of saving everyone from all their woes & troubles. When he was not successful, he blamed himself. But since we got together, he learned, ever so slowly, that this is not the case all the time. Sometimes, he just has to let me be. I'm a half-guy" I guess. Coz just like what the book Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus says, when men are are troubled, they go to their caves. I know I'm not a man but I do the same thing. Didn't I exhibit introverted tendencies the whole time I was in my emo roller coaster? Weird, huh? Well, I am weird, what's new? Hehehe.
Anyway,Popsy's vacation here lasted for three weeks but it didn't seem enough. And since it was his last day last Sunday, we allowed him to play one last time at the Casino while Peter & I also made up for lost time. So together (Peter & I), we spent a while taking lots of pictures and enjoying the view (at Sofitel Philippine Plaza).
It took quite a while for me to post this… I was just overwhelmed with so much emotion that I didn't know where to begin.Well, if you read my post about Gwen Stefani, I mentioned there that I was sort of dreading the event last Saturday. It was Popsy's despedida and relatives from all over the country came over, not only to greet him a happy trip when he goes back to US but to have a house warming for us as well. For a week, I couldn't sleep (again) because the mere thought of it was stressing me out big time. So imagine me always tired due to lack of sleep, stressed and emotionally unstable. I was really a wreck, up to the point that I'd have several crying bouts just to let it all out. I guess, aside from the usual panic and anxiety attacks I'd get from MDP, I also sort of inherited Mama's angsts/hang-ups about this one person in the family who makes me feel uncomfortable. But there is just no way of avoiding this person and I'd just have to take several deep breaths and start off by acting happy & normal until I get into my groove. Thank God I took acting lessons. It really helps in times like this!
A photo op with Yana, holding one of our house gifts…
Anyway, generally, they were all nice that day (with their pretty little house warming gifts and all), most especially Tita Anne who really went upstairs and gave me a tight welcoming hug. Popsy knew that I wouldn't initiate going downstairs even if it kills me. My hormones have been working overtime lately in turning me into an extreme introvert and an anti-social being. Thanks to Tita Anne, it was put to stop, even for only a short while.
The air well was turned into a cozy little beach den…
The garage was turned into an eating area. Notice several tables, chairs and a bed!
After our little chat, she encouraged me to go downstairs to help prepare the house for the visitors. I really didn't do much except to move furniture where she wanted them to be in order to create more space for the 20 plus visitors.
Oooohhhh…yummy!!!
She also prepared some food and put a touch of art into the whole lunch party scene. There were tons of food later on, special lechon all the way from Cebu and various Ilocano dishes from Laoag. I was hoping to eventually calm my nerves so I can mingle somehow. Around 1 pm, the house looked ready and that's when I headed upstairs, took a bath and dressed up.
Our new lamps…
I was just glad that some of the fixtures like the lamps were already installed. It made the house look more welcoming and cozy. Anyway, I didn't go out again until Tita Ellie came up and kissed and hugged me. She's also very sweet to me & Peter. Well, most, if not all of them, are. I was just not in the mood to be with a lot of people. It irritates and suffocates me sometimes plus I'm really a very shy person even if you don't believe me.
Tita Cheryl and I, bonding at the balcony…
Good thing Tita Cheryl was there as my buffer and the moment I went down, they all looked pretty happy to see me. So I guess it all turned out ok.
Peter & Gab (no doubt, magpinsan nga kayo!)
L-R: Tito Hugo, Tita Eve, Tita Ellie, Raoul, Tito Chix, Tita Ching, Tito Pedro, Tita Anne, Pops
Gab, Pops, Apple Peter & Tita Ellie
See…I was mingling…
Margo & Peter… parang pinagbiyak na pakwan diba? Hmmm…
Gab (of Parokya ni Edgar) and his wife Apple came, as well as Peter's cousins Margo, Buddha, Raymond with his wife Joyce & daughter Yana and all the titas and titos in the clan. Popsy enjoyed the whole thing and for that I'm glad.
P.S. Aside from making Popsy happy that day, I think another good thing that came out of it was the fact that Peter got to practice his "fatherhood" skills with Yana. Maybe, we'll have one too. Soon…

on MYX Channel
For several nights now, I couldn't sleep which would result to bouts of terrible migraines in the morning and my dazed state of affairs…yeah…I've been a walking zombie for the most part these last couple of days. This particular night that I couldn't sleep, hugely because of an impending family gathering the next morning (which I hate doing as much as possible…see, it's one of my neuroses) I chanced upon one of my fave artists' youtube videos until I realized that I must've been watching several of her videos for 3 hours now and my love for her just kept on growing. She's my idol. She makes me feel like I still have a chance at happiness in this world. Anyway, here are her videos I downloaded. Gosh, I soooo loooove Gwen Stefani!
