The other week was the first of 2017's emotional rollercoaster weeks for me. A lot of ups and downs in one week, that by week's end I was in a funk that I tried (not all too successfully) to shake off and mask with a smile and laughter. I was once again reminded of how … Continue reading Lucky.

Motivations and Revelations
I can't believe we've already breezed through one-twelfth of 2017, and are well on our way to crushing through an already short February. This year, I'm trying to be more cognizant that this blog exists for the purposes of what I ultimately wanted it to be - something that I could look back on in … Continue reading Motivations and Revelations
New To iOS – iPod Touch
I've been an Android user for at least 5 years, I believe. Previous to that, I was a Blackberry girl. I wasn't all that interested in getting an Apple device because as far as I was concerned, the iPod Classic has always been more than enough for me. Recently, I purchased the iPod Touch (6th … Continue reading New To iOS – iPod Touch
Pens, Pens, Pens
What on Earth spurred a blog post about pens? Well, this week there were some really great sales at Office Depot and Staples on pens. Not quite sure if it's National Pen Week but the bargains were too hard to resist. I thought it'd be kind of fun to share my all-time favorite pens, counting down to … Continue reading Pens, Pens, Pens
First Big Thrill of 2016
As you know, I spent New Year's Day in Las Vegas. After spending hours in the dry, cold streets of Las Vegas my lips were getting super dry and chapped. It's such a pain in the butt to keep pulling out my EOS Lip Balm in Sweet Mint when you're all bundled up. So what I … Continue reading First Big Thrill of 2016
Penny A Day Savings Challenge
I've never been the best at saving money, but then again I'm pretty frugal. I won't spend a ton of money on something I can get at a discount. A few days ago I saw on Instagram a couple of different challenges in order to save money this 2016. The one I decided to take … Continue reading Penny A Day Savings Challenge
New Year’s Day in Las Vegas, NV
After spending New Year's in Vegas a few years back, I vowed to never do New Year's there again. However, my mom wanted to get away from Los Angeles for the New Year and, of course, Vegas is always her first choice. Las Vegas on New Year's Day is not my scene whatsoever. The big … Continue reading New Year’s Day in Las Vegas, NV
2016 New Year’s Resolutions
It's a new year and I'm so ready to take the bull by its horns! I made the decision last year that I'd make resolutions that are more realistic, will help me out in the long run, and are things I won't bargain with to break. Resolutions: Go to Church every Sunday Lose 20 pounds Go … Continue reading 2016 New Year’s Resolutions
#BLESSED
During the holiday season, you're bound to encounter people who are feeling extra blessed or feeling down because of various reasons like being away from family during the holidays. The past four Christmases haven't been the same since my Lola passed away in 2011. My parents and I either have to make the extra effort to … Continue reading #BLESSED
The Love Story of Popoy and Basha
To Filipinos, the Philippine film industry is well-known for one of two things: great comedies and romantic dramas. It's no surprise that my top three Filipino movies are romantic dramas ("Labs Kita, Okey Ka Lang? (1998)", "Dahil Mahal Na Mahal Kita (1998)" and "One More Chance (2007)"). In 2007 we were introduced to the love … Continue reading The Love Story of Popoy and Basha
