Sunrise Trail Hike at Masungi Georeserve: An Empowering and Meaningful Birthday Celebration

-
Image
Since I was a child, as soon as June approaches, I feel thrilled because it's my birth month. I don't eagerly anticipate gifts, but rather the greetings from family and friends. It brings me joy. I am easily pleased. It doesn't take much to make me happy. Whenever I am asked what I want for my birthday, my usual response is "nothing" or "I don't know; I can't think of anything I want or need." I am not materialistic. I am happy. I am healthy. I am blessed with family and true friends. Feeling ko nasa akin na ang lahat and I prefer inner peace. Fancy that! Haha. I find more joy in giving, whether to family, friends, or even strangers. But this time, I said, "Lord, can I give myself a gift this time?" Since a retreat in Batulao is not possible yet, I scheduled a day for myself for a pampering session at the mall. I want to have a massage, facial, manicure/pedicure. I simply wish to unwind and disconnect from the online world for an entire...

The Story of my Life

-
Image
Who am I? Who is Made It Through Mum? Why Made It Through Mum?  are some of the questions I know some of you are asking. Where do I begin? Why is it easy for me to write about anything but so hard when it's about me? Perhaps because I'm afraid that I might be judged, pitied (oh no don't! pls?!) and some might feel sorry for me. But hey! I wanted and needed to do this to share my story, what I've been through and the purpose of my life to inspire and encourage other people. I hope so...  Let me give you some of my pertinent deets :  - I am a mother of 3  -I am a partner  -I am a daughter ( a very clingy daughter)  - I am a sister - I am a friend - I am a villain in somebody else's life (insert laughing witch here)  - I love to eat (like 5-7cups of rice per meal especially if it's paired with tinapa or seafood! Beat that! )  - I love veggies and fruits the more  - I don't have any vices at all! (so, does that make me a good girl...

Review: PANTENE 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner - Hair Fall Control

-
Image
What causes hair fall?  Stress can make your hair fall out. " A common myth of hair loss is that it can be caused by stress. We naturally shed between 50 to 80 strands of hair a day. But stressful circumstances such as bereavement, divorce, job loss, or surgery have been known to cause stress-induced hair loss. If you are experiencing what seems like excessive stress and hair loss, be sure to consult your doctor. This is a myth of hair loss that can come true." Lately, I've been seeing ads everywhere and beauty bloggers are raving about Pantene 3 minute miracle conditioner for damaged hair. But damaged hair is not my concern because as what the people/ staff in the salon would say my hair is a " virgin hair " (wow!- because it is not treated yet and no chemicals were used on my hair since after the doctors need to shave off my long hair prior my operation) But even before my cranial operation , severe hair fall is really a challenge to me ( my ex-c...

The Bowery - NYC Comfort Food by Chef Cuit Kaufman

Image
Who would like to go to the Big Apple? Raise your hands! (Me raising both hands and feet! Lol) Now, you can go and feel New York even without VISA here in the metro. Yes, no US VISA needed. Yay! Last Mother's day, my family and I got a chance to experience New York, even for a few hours and we were delighted. We love to eat (really!) But we are accustomed to Filipino food because that's whats available everywhere. We are afraid to try different dishes. But  The Bowery presented the food in a way that you will be eager to try the cuisine. We had a taste of the state side ! (",) First, let me give you the history of The Bowery. The name of the restaurant is derived from the street/ neighborhood known as "The Bowery" in lower Manhattan of New York City. It is considered to be the oldest thoroughfare in New York. The word bowery comes from an old Dutch word for "farm" as the road connected farms to the main part of what was then the city (downt...

“ No elegance is possible without perfume. It is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory.” – Coco Chanel Have you found your ultimate accessory? I found mine but it's too pricey. Good thing I found a perfume with almost the same scent, but economical that can stay from 4 hours up to 8hours! Eight (8) hours because it offers a 20-30% percent concentration of oils, Perfume Dessert. Perfume dessert is guaranteed 100% from the U.K. No fakes! You can check it by the first 3 digits of the barcode, they do indicate the country in which the company is based, or the manufacturing company is headquartered, its first 3 digit is 506, and U.K's barcode is from 500-509. I like almost all their scents, but among all their perfumes, I love the Peach Bourbon Posicle the most it's like their version of Victoria's Secret's Love Spell. For a sexy touch of scent, this one is a must-have! It has a sweet subtle scent which enhances my natural smell. It may b...
