EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT


Everything's Gonna Be Alright




Life is full surprises and I strongly believe it is. Mine has been into a fun kinda painful roller coaster ride but of course, the One and Only God reminds and let me feel that "everything's gonna be alright".



A special person whom I just met passed away, my parents are sick, bills, payments left and right. Why all of a sudden? How can I handle all these? 




Every time I have time I talk top Him, to Them, am I cursed? In  a single year, I got miscarriage twice in a row. That isn't fair. But still I stood up, and I fixed myself to wake another day. Maybe it wasn't our time yet, but everything's not right or maybe this is how He planned for me.




As a simple human being, I don't have the right to judge or even complain because this life isn't mine. It's something borrowed that in the end, I myself don't know when I'm gonna rest. Sometimes I wanted it to be soon, as its very tiring for me to handle the everyday worries that I have but there's a lot of reason for me to hold on, to hang on in every moment.





Usually the weapons that I have are crying and praying. They let me feel better in a little way. At least I can let go of the pain through talking to Him, crying by myself as I learn to keep my problems with me all the time. I may smile as you all can see, shop, eat and even cook but to be honest those are just diversions. Diversions for me to forget bullshits in life and live as a human for awhile. They thought I'm fine, but right now I am not okay still. I think I haven't fully moved on. Its just I feel alone all the time, no one understands me, only a few stays with me. I only have few happy memories in my life that gives me real smile. Why does life offer me this kind of experience? 





And one day I encountered CARPE DIEM, 2 short meaningful words but its as if they reminded me that these worries are there for me to let them feel, I can beat them. I have to live and love like there's no tomorrow. It may not be as easy as 1-2-3 but I know I can. I will try to be okay, but I hope somehow someday I can have my angels back. My angels are my strength, the one that made me feel real happiness but then God has  a different destiny for us. Yes, I miss my babies everyday. I may not fully ready to be a mother, but I know I loved them from the time I knew they're with me until they decided to stay in heaven.




Tomorrow is unpredictable, it may be happy nor the other way around but who cares, in the end; everything's gonna be alright.

Last Saturday of August



August started with a lot of issues but to sum it up, it gave us a happy month kind of feeling.

Spend a weekend in a mall, did a lil shopping for my husband, for my mom and dad made me feel light and happy as I shared to them what I have :)

Happiness comes from within meaning for me within the family first then extends to the others who are capable of the help of happiness that I can share.

Last August 28,2014 was the confirmation of a great news, a blessing from the above and our new love.  A Thursday morning full of smile, started with goodvibes, prayer, good food prepared by Mom and best ever dessert, Egg Tart from Lord Stow's  Bakery.

One of the best Chinese restaurants that I've been to.

Being lucky in life is destined
Yet I guess I'm one of the chosen one
My faith with the One above again bein' tested
That in His perfect time, answered prayer is found



Blessed in a way that I feel so much love
Not just from my husband 
But also from his family
And the people around


We spend time together as much as we can
Did grocery, feast on food or laugh out loud
Its the moments shared that matters
As the bond that we have is fun and a different one



Ama, our grandmom gave me new footwear
Another Lacoste flats for me that made me so happy
Of course, I will take care of this pair, I swear
Decided to grab great food, good way to spend my money


I thank God for everything, even the little things
It matters to me especially this biggest blessing
I cant promise to be nice and good all the time
But what I can is to share to everyone what is mine



happy little things with cogito watch, MCM bag and lacoste flats

jewelries' such a beauty

Fridays



Fridays are usually everyone's looking forward to
But for me is just an ordinary day spend at work
Checking my reminders to check some order on due
Or do errands for my hubby and visit the postal clerk


Today's a bit gloomy outside
Energetic faces I see from left to right
Looks that I can judge are almost happy
Its fun to approach these people who loves to smile at me


Dressing up on this day feels like ordinary
Grabbed my plaid top from the closet
Matched with my fave shorts for less worries
Put on my dunks and now I'm all set


Also same with the bag of the day
I love to use different ones everyday
A black Kipling suits my mood this Friday
Feelin' great and comfy for the ootd


But of course we should bear in mind to focus in everything
Not just today, but it should be all the time
Pleasure and work should be separated sometimes
Because seldom we cant focus to the loads a day can bring


Cry it out if you cant bear the pain
Friday's outcomes are usually positive among the others
Just a friendly reminder from me that y'all hopefully can gain
Beat the pessimistic view of life, simple words to ponder




OOTD Friday

Day Off Mondays




Last Monday was a busy day for us. We don't have work but we had errands to do. But it started very well because my mom-in-law gave me a jewelry, sweet! I am soo lucky to have my 2nd family, very thoughtful, generous and simply nice. :)



Mom gave me a Jade bracelet!  Kate Spade for my bag of the day :)



First stop, we went to Toyota to pay car's insurance. They served free coffee there, that I surely loved <3 While waiting, I checked their model cars and a 4x4 SUV RAV 4 caught my attention! WOW ITS JUST WOW!!! It felt like love at first sight for LOL :D and I told myself, someday I'm gonna have that car. Can't get it now because its worth almost P2M hahaha. I mean dreaming is free in any ways :) 

dream car since i was a teen

free san mig coffee at toyota show room


Then we grabbed lunch at Su Zhou Dimsum. 'twas a yummy lunch, sooo yummy that I can't breathe after I finished my food. :P We had these:

special taiwan beef noodle soup! my new fave in my noodle's selection :P

xiao long bao

sliced beef in oyster sauce

fried rice

pancake with spring onions


We need to walk around after that happy tummy meal, we headed to Greenhills to grab little  stuff for the house. Spent 3 hours there to avoid traffic going home. Snack time came and we went to their food court. Grabbed something cheap just to fill the slight hunger :)


P12 coffee and P20 egg pie

On our way home, dad told me he saw a Mickey Mouse laptop sleeve. We checked it out and bought one for myself because its only P300. Amazing deal right?



When we got home Mom showed me her personal Mickey Mouse and Disney collection too. She has loads of stuff, different characters, different sizes and versions of Mickey Mouse! They all look so adorable and cute of course.





So that's how we spend our free time off work. Shop, food or simply spending time with our family. Its the thing that matters to us,a s a couple, even if we're always busy, we should have at least once a week or any time to spend time together.

I hope you will also have  your own quality time. Good vibes everyone! :)
