Thankful Last May

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

I started this blog to remind me about my faith, hope and gratitude. I've been blogging since 2006 (my old blog which I laid to rest - but of course not forgotten) and just this year decided to start a new blog that will and should constantly remind me of these important things that will remind me how to live life THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. It's easy for me to sometimes forget faith, hope and gratitude especially on down times. The nice thing though is I keep coming back to these "important things" and I can say Thank you Lord. It changes me. And this should be constantly. and FOREVER. After all, life is not to be lived based on one's past but about the present time and how things are going to be better or one chooses to be better.  ( and I don't know why I injected this last sentence hahaha but it maybe because I want to remind myself)

So enough about this and continue this grateful project. I was thankful last May which happened to be my birth month too. Truly, I have blessings which I sometimes forget that I have it. May was a beautiful month as always so thank you Lord.

I am thankful because:

My St. Jude visit

I love St. Jude and feels good whenever I am there. The last time I was there was

2012 so last May, I made a promise to myself to visit the church and pray to God.

Lucky Chinatown and my Vacation Leaves

My tour guide: My son Gavin

Can you imagine it was my first time in Lucky Chinatown? My son Gavin who have been there for many times happily toured me around the place and after that we ended up super, super  ( the best way I can describe the hours we were walking) stroll in 999 mall to do our shopping. So happy to be back in Divisoria too and making this trip and memory with my son.

I am also thankful of my vacation leaves that I took that is why I was able to go to places I have promised myself. ( Eventhough the Tagaytay Trip was postponed, I still feel good :> ) The next day after Chinatown, it was Eastwood day  because it was the time my Gavin and I were slated to buy school supplies and watch X men.

The Celebration 

Beautifully presented at Mesa

My Family and my bestfriend

( I remembered my dad's ever thoughtfulness on this day and everyday)

30ish + 5ish= A better 35 year old on the road to become better than yesterday

and avoid the mistakes of the past. 

An intimate and happy dinner with my family. 

I love Sambokojin buffet and the fact that birthday celebrants are entitled to a free buffet.

This wonderful gift being a brand ambassador of my favorite brands

I realised that writing post like this reminds me that I am blessed. It feels good saying it. I still have a long way to go to positivity but what am sure of is that I am taking the right way for a better life.

I still want to post more about this but maybe I will share more on my next post.

Thank  you Lord!

I'm a Woman of Health and Style

Throwback story

I was seven years old when something captured my eyes whilst visiting my aunt. Their plates caught my attention and I remembered feeling good and classy ( oh yes, me being 7 years old that time) whilst eating our food. And the brand? It's Corelle. To make this short, I fell in love with the plate and vowed to myself that when I'm older and already living independently, I would buy myself these feel good plates. The good thing was some decade ago, my dad and mum bought us these elegant plates and happily used. ( In addition to my mum's PYREX collection) It just validated my love for the brand. 

Fast Forward, May 2014
I was chosen as one of  CORELLE'S Women of Health and Style! 
I jumped for joy and it really made me high like I was on top of the world. I was like, wow dream come true... my favorite brand and the best thing was that we won a shopping spree and I was uber delighted! 

Thank you so much to you guys specially to Raffles Marketing. You made me so happy. Not to mention that last May was my birth month! I had a wonderful gift, really. 

Thank you for making us brand ambassadors!

Love, 

Forever Corelle lover

Poco Deli, Kapitolyo

Poco Deli and friendships reunited, summer 2014

Over sausage and these mint coolers, my friends and I spent time together to catch up and laugh. We don't normally do this but it does feel good doing this once in a  while. Glad my friend, decided to chose Poco Deli ( which is actually her favorite) because finally I got the chance to try their delish sausages and set aside my diet that time. My cheat day, friend's day, mommy's day out.
