Wanderlust: Bucket List: Yunak Evleri
Taking Ms. V’s advice, I started putting things together and made myself a vision board. It serves as reminder for me to get motivated as well as a means for me to tell the universe, “Here! These are my heart’s desire. Conspire to make it happen!” I have always known that I want to get [...]
House-Hunting in California
I got to do some catching up with cousin’s wife the other day while we were at his parents’ place for a simple dinner for my late paternal grandfather’s 40th day.

Blinks: Kiddos
photo: Ms B taken: April 2008, Tagaytay Highlands, Philippines I’m really missing these three kiddos right now. Not just them individually. More like the whole chaos. I really wish that there will come a time when bringing my whole family together is so easy. I want the security of knowing that the whole bunch is [...]
