Sharing with all of you my Digital Dreamboards.
I hope I inspire you with my positivity! Cheers!
Happy Friday!
Let’s all do the Happy Dance, okay, those who like the Harlem Shake, do as you please hee hee! (AND…one piece of advice, if you’re stressed, find custom stress balls and squeeze out those stressors away!)
“Nothing is lost if one has the courage to proclaim that all is lost and we must begin anew.” –Julio Cortázar
It’s been awhile, I know.
Maybe, this is all I need to rid off the stress I have been encountering this Month.
MAY, please come sooner.

Now that I have developed better habits when it comes to waking up an hour earlier and working out (running, specifically), I should tackle on a few more goals in my list. I know that I have been saying this for almost 10 years now, making me earn my first driving license back home (but never actually practice driving at all) but I should really have to at least get my driver’s license this year. Even if dear TGL would support me from procrastinating on this, I just see the need of it especially now that we have 2 cars. Also, I plan on learning a new language this year if not, enroll on a refresher course for my French knowledge. Read more »
Today…
I would not miss writing an entry as this leap day comes in every 4 years only. It’s a humpday and I am working from home. I also took out my bandage for my carpal tunnel but still taking things slowly.
Outside my window…it is gloomy and raining. Just grateful that we do not have any tornado warning. Praying for all those affected in the midwest.
I am thinking…what to do on Saturday.
I am thankful for…my husband. I’m simply blessed because I have him in my life.
From the kitchen…there’s a huge mess in the sink waiting to be cleared up.
I am wearing…my mom’s dress.
I am creating…beauty blog entries which I absolutely enjoy.
I am going…to stand up and prepare to pick up MLS in a short while.
I am reading…The Happiness Project!
I am hoping…to be able to control my food cravings.
I am hearing…updates from CNN on the tornado that hit midwest.
Around the house…there are a lot of laundered clothes waiting to be folded and organized.
One of my favorite things…my notebooks.
A few plans for the rest of the week…apply nailpolish, clear up work backlog, finish filing, upload photos in FB and complete February-photo-a-day project.
A picture I love:
Just goes to show how thoughtful, helpful and selfless TGL is. He always does this. Whenever he sees a couple tourist, he would approach them and offer to take their pictures together.
In lieu of this leap day, I am grabbing this meme (leap day capsule ideas) from Paula Gilarde’s blog:
What I ate for lunch today: bacon, egg, rice (yes, I broke my lenten fast)
Something I just learned: that my life is actually complete, i need to be more grateful each and every single day.
My favorite song this year: moves like a jagger, defying gravity, pumped up kicks
The last book I read: Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom
What I’m wearing right now: my mom’s dress
The last restaurant I ate at was: Bonefish Grill
My favorite tv show: still, Gossip Girl + Pretty Little Liars
I’m working on: this blog.
My most used expression or word: ‘My God!’
I can’t (or don’t want to) live without: my family.
and looking back 4 years ago. (idea grabbed from my good friend, Irma)
-Oh wow! it’s so good to reminisce. As I look back 4 years ago, it was the year we moved to our very 1st apartment here, celebrated holidays on our own with special mention on our 1st ever fresh Pine tree!
-I was busy with Grad School, juggling school deadlines, housechores, wifey/mommy duties and blogging.
-It was also the year I got active in Facebook.
-Our very first trip to D.C. not for pleasure but because I needed to take the TOEFL exam as required for my grad school.
-I turned 30 and still felt very 25 hahaha!
-MLS was still enrolled at My Gym, and now he’s moving up to 2nd grade in a few months!
-My first-ever snow experience!
“I am not where I want to be yet, but boy oh boy, we’ve come so far to get to where we are right now. High five, TGL, we did an awesome job!”
How was life for you since the last leap day?
Better. More Stable. More Matured and ready for more life’s challenges.
What special thing are you going to do today?
Nothing really. Hmmm, maybe writing this entry is the special thing that I did today.
Have a good leap day everyone! I am so thankful I’ve come to this day strong, happy, and yes, very beautiful (oh and heavier too yay!->I think I should start reading these phenteripped reviews and consider taking diet pills? NOT!)

For the past days, I have been discerning on what to fast this Lenten Season. I take Lent seriously and make sure that I devote extra time to God. When I woke up today which is actually earlier than I am used to, (considering today is a Hump Day, therefore my Work-From-Home sched) I am amazed by God’s grace as I woke up with a firm decision on what to fast. I will make a separate entry on that later. Read more »
Today, I am blogging 2 consecutive entries inspired by ThingsWeForget photo quotes. Both of which have impacted me and the way I think about my life as I discern on my goals. When I woke up this morning, I checked my iPhone immediately because that is where I keep my prayer requests. I was sidetracked and checked FB first, and saw this status update from a friend: “Work keeps you away from 3 evil things: BOREDOM, VICE and NEEDS.” Work here is a metaphor, does not need to be an office work, a business, it may mean being a stay-at-home-parent doing housechores and rearing kids. But since I am working full time and I have experienced how it is to be a Stay-At-Home-Mom, I refer Work here as compensated work. Read more »
