Let's eat at my fave resto!

Where is your favorite eating place?

My fave resto has opened its new branch in a mall. I prefer to eat here than in fastfoods because their foods are really great at very affordable prices. I love their pizza and pancit lucban!

Day 314: Music & Me.

Music brings positivity and energy in me, again I am not a pro, this is some kind of a hobby and this means a lot to me.

Day 310: All-time favorite.

My all-time favorite - Siomai filled with chili from Master Siomai.

Day 283: Old school of writing.

Having a journal where you put your thoughts might sound old school but I still find it cool. Haha. I already have my chasing colours blogsite where I'm working on project 365 but I think I still need a journal where I can put the deepest desires of my heart, between me and God and no social media audience.

Day 281: What's your gift?

What's your gift? 

I completed a list of 135 statements to find out which gifts are strongest and which are weakest. Here's my top 3 gifts:

1. SERVICE (scored 11).  This is the same as my LOVE language. I remember answering Gary Chapman's Love language quiz and I got ACTS OF SERVICE as my primary love language. I always wanted to do things for other people and serve them in different ways.  I may not come from a rich family but I desire reaching out to old people, poor families and abandoned kids. Any activity or program that reaches to the less privileged excites me. I think serving others is a way to die to yourself and to get rid of any form of selfishness.

2.  TEACHING (scored 10).  Yes, I enjoy teaching! I wanted to speak to people and share my ideas and knowledge.  Training a new colleague excites me as well as teaching and leading small groups. This explains why I took  a  part time job in a tutorial center and lead small groups back in the Philippines.

3. WISDOM (scored 9).  I think this gift is related to gift#2 because I cannot have the gift of teaching without wisdom and knowledge.  Someone prophesied that God has put wisdom and knowledge in me so I can help and lead people and this prophecy only confirms this gift.

I also got a score of 9 to Voluntary Poverty. This sounds funny because I actually came from an average family.  I got 8 to Knowledge, Exhortation, Missionary, Faith, Leadership and Celibacy! (I actually don't want this gift, because I desire to get married, lol).

I am grateful that God has given me these gifts but I know it requires huge responsiblity in me. 

Day 256: Panlasang Pinoy.

My all-time favorite Pinoy food - tinapa or smoked fish, tomatoes dipped in soy sause with kalamansi and chili. To enjoy this meal, magkamay at itaas ang isang paa habang kumakain. Hahaha. Bow!

Day 242: I love my Creative Writing Class.

The class gets even more exciting. We had our 2nd foundation training session in a different venue where we were seated in mats/floors with matching candle aroma and the lights were off. It was not the usual "classroom type" setting.

We had our "soaking" moment. A moment between me and God, in His presence. Tears started to fall from my eyes when I realized how God loved me just the way I am. Be real with God and be real with other people.

The class requires me to stay late at night, though. But it was all worth it. I think if you really like something, you become unstoppable, "harangan ka man ng sibat".

Day 224: Mornings with my guitar.

Its weekend! No plans, no activities, no agendas for today. Spending mornings with my guitar - plucking, strumming, singing random songs. Im really not that good in playing guitar, it comforts and gives me that happy feeling everytime I learn a new song and sing. Grateful for music :)

Day 217: Time for some Gong Cha!

A lot of people queue just to have a taste of Gong Cha! A tea/coffee/juice store where you can choose your own sugar level. Nice! Grateful to have this near our place. When I start to crave, its only a few steps from home. Love the pearls! Yey!

Day 196: First Video Blog.

This will be the first video on my blog. Its one of my favorite songs - Home by Chris Daughtry, (American Idol finalist season xx). There was kind of a blooper in the end....hahahaha...."baka mas sila pa daw ang sumikat kesa sa 'kin".

I love the message of this song, reminds me of the story of the Prodigal Son in the Bible.  My favorite line is "Im going home, back to the place where I belong, where your love has always been enough for me....I don't regret this life you chose for me."

Credits: Chords, Strumming Pattern, Tutorial by YouTube. Enjoy watching!

Day 195: Roomie, Mommy!

Meet my roommate. Hahaha. Grateful to be sleeping with my Mom even at this age.. Haha. Record breaking ito! While some may be sleeping with their hubby or with their kids, I am grateful to have spent evenings with Mom and had an "anything under the sun" conversation. Making the most out of it while single. Hahaha.

Day 166: Refreshing Ice Lemon Tea.

I love lemons!

Day 144: Paraphernalias.

Playing the guitar is my hobby. Im not a pro, I only know the basics. Here are my paraphernalias. (1) Tuner - for tuning the guitar (2) Capo - for holding all guitar strings on a chosen fret (3) Picks - for strumming and plucking.

Day 141: Mornings with a pirate :)

My first morning at Singapore with a pirate, my superrrrrr kulit niece.

Day 139: "I am watching you!"

Tiangge souvenir from Pasayahan 2012.

Day 128: Addicted to Earrings.

To add to my collection, another pair of dangling earrings! I don't know what's with earrings that I got so attracted with them. Made up of capiz shells with different colors! Soooooooo me!

Day 126: Smiley-Shopping Saturday!

Did a bit of shopping today . Bought these items in a very affordable prices. This "skull shoulder bag" can also be a  pouch bag. I love the long sling that makes it so classy!

Bracelet made of pebbles. So creative!

 Earrings perfect for summer. I love the different color designs!

Lastly, colorful coin purse with my name on it. Engraving was FREE!

Day 121: Dazzling Dangling Earrings.

Felt like I was boring and very plain with my red polo shirt + jeans at church yesterday. Bought these pairs of dangling earrings to add a little touch of fashion. I prefer big & dangling earrings because it suits my big face. Glad that the church is at the mall so "in case of emergency", its only a few steps and my problem is solved. hahaha.

 

Day 119: Cool Coffee Jelly.

My sister's recipe called "coffee jelly." Soooooo refreshing this summer! Leftovers from yesterday's party. 

Day 114: Yes to Yogurt!

Its 2 in the morning and am still wide awake, maybe because I slept longer in the afternoon + some thoughts bugging me + rumbling tummy + someone thinking of me (yuck!).  I only had pizza for dinner so here I am with my fave snack - yogurt strawberry flavor with some real fruit pieces. It is good for digestion and a good source of calcium for strong bones. (as per the cup) hehehe. And I just found out that I need to turn the flash off to get a better picture of my subject.
