Year End Thank You (V10)

"Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over. - Guy Finley" I've been writing "year end thank you" posts for the past 10 years. I started on my humble tumblog and have since migrated to this blog. 2016 was a tough year for me but 2017 was a lot better. As always, there were a few bumps in the road but nothing that I couldn't handle. I used to do bulleted lists...

Comfort Food

It's another rainy day in Zamboanga. It got me thinking about how nice it would be to just huddle up in bed under my thick warm blanket and just be lazy. How I wish I could but today is also "errands" day before the weekend hits us so I had to haul my butt off to several banks to finish transactions. While on the way to the bank I started thinking about one word. COMFORT. What brings you comfort?...

Back From The Dead. (?)

Hello everyone. So much time has passed. Let's be honest, I've neglected my blog and the reason is quite simple. Life happened. So much has been going on in my personal life that blogging had to take a back seat. First big thing that happened is that I finally got over a big heartbreak. Next is that I finally opened my office-kitchen for my small home based baking business, Sugar Works. Also I...

Currently V13 : April!

Hello to all my lovely readers. Are you guys still with me? I haven't been blogging much because life is just plain hectic. I'll spare you all the boring details about that and instead jump right into this "currently" post. Just something random and quirky to update you all and to say that I'm still very much alive and kickin'! Reading: No Baggage "A Tale of Love & Wandering" by Clara...

Review : Sparkle Lenses in OMG Brown

I'm going to be very honest. I suck at starting my blog posts. *lol* I've been staring at the screen for the past 15 minutes and I decided to just "go with it". So here I am, typing rapidly away trying to think of a nice way to say that I'll be talking about circle lenses again. HAHAHA!~ Well anyway, since I already mentioned it, today I'll be talking about a new pair of circle lenses that I...

First 2017 Haulage

Hello again everyone! Let's start off March2017 with my first haul post this year. It's been a long time since I last really purchased makeup. I told myself that 2016 would be devoted to investing more of my money into the business (Sugar Works!) with the exception of lipsticks (LOVE!!!) but now it's time for a little treat. A little self love never hurt anyone, right? I found an online makeup...

Well, February Happened

February was basically about different lipsticks, my growing collection of jewelry, succulents, cactuses & perfumes, my love for food & my baking orders... Nothing much more to say except HELLO MARCH2017!...

What's Been Happening?!

Hey everybody! It's me again. Well, I don't even know where to start. The start of 2017 has been pretty crazy what with all plans being set into motion. So much is changing (for the better!) and happening that it's been pretty difficult for me to slow down. My parents & lil sister recently left again so it's just me and the grand folks at home. I can finally start blogging little by little....

16 Things I Learned in 2016

Last year I made a similar post and this year I'm back with a 2016 version. Like I mentioned in my previous post, 2016 was a tough year for me. I learned a lot of valuable life lessons last year and today I'm going to share them with you. 1. Pray more. It might seem that He isn't listening but he is. I didn't go to church as much last year but I prayed. I prayed every day. At the start of the...

Twenty Seventeen! - (Late) Year End Thank You's

2016 was THE toughest year for me. I went through a massive heart break, I lost some friends, I realized that some family members aren't worth the time, I doubted my baking skills and felt like Sugar Works was about to fail... The list goes on and on but I survived through it all with the help of family and friends. This post is dedicated to them! I've been doing year end thank you posts for...
