Love.Honor.Understanding. Blushing beauty

Hi there lovelies! How are you today? 
Always smile, dress up & think positively!

I am wearing PINK! Yay! This color provides femininity, nurture, warmth and sensitivity. Pink symbolizes love, romance and empathy. It is softer than the passion that red brings replacing it with a gentle loving energy. Pink also has a calming effect which reassures emotional power, alleviating feelings of anger, fear and abandonment.

I feel really pretty in my rose pink blouse and candy color shorts.  I don't wear pink clothes that much because it's too girly, but I love this outfit. I feel comfortable and confident. The atmosphere and my mood suddenly changed and I believe I felt the innocence and intense sweetness inside me.

Always be cheerful and grateful, okay? ^_^

I know it's too early but I'm already thinking about Valentine's day.This coming Valentine's day, it will be our third year as married couple. I'm always excited, happy and thankful because V-day always reminds me that God answered my prayer. I'm thankful He allowed me to meet (again) the love of my life - my Husband.

The printed skirt fit so well to my hips and you may not notice it but I love its colorful "City" print. I also love how it made to be high waisted because it draw attention to my little waist. The red blouse has cut outs at the back which looks pretty sexy. I want to walk all day so I've decided to wear flats. (You know couples, Holding hands while walking ^_^ ) My Love bag is so cool, the stitches are in hearts shape - perfect for V-day!

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

The song stuck in my head - Wings By Birdy

I am so in love with this song right now. I like this girl because she is so talented and has an amazing voice. My favorite line/lyrics from this song is:

Oh lights go down
In the moment we're lost and found
I just want to be by your side
If these wings could fly
Oh damn these walls
In the moment we're ten feet tall
And how you told me after it all
We remember tonight

For the rest of our lives

"I just want to be by your side... If these wings could fly..."

A little doze of confidence & courage

 Here are some quotes that inspired me this week:

Inspiration and Strength

Isaiah 41:10  fear not, for I am with you;  be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you,  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Psalm 18:32-34  the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless. He made my feet like the feet of a deer  and set me secure on the heights. He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

1 Corinthians 10:13  No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Psalm 27:1  The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid?


I really feel loved and I do believe that no matter what happens, God loves me so much. 
He knows what's the best for me and He ALWAYS have the best plan for me.

I Thank The Lord Almighty for giving me strength everyday, for giving me another life each morning I wake up and for having such wonderful family and friends. I thank Him with all my heart for all the blessings that me and my family have received. 

Last Saturday , July 27, I opened my online shop and I honor Our Almighty God above anything else and I thank Him for giving me courage to venture in this kind of business. It's never easy but I know I can make it possible because of Him. He will guide me all the way because He knows that I dedicate this to Him and to my family.

My Vision Board

I am by no means perfect and there are so many things I desire in this life and one of those desires is to have a good and happy relationship/love life. I was so young when I fall in love, the relationship never flourished. I did not expect that my heart will be broken at a very young age. I never give up waiting for true love however the long days, weeks, months and years had passed yet I felt sad about it. God knows I wanted to have a fulfilling and happy relationship then a beautiful and successful marriage. I am so anxious why my past relationships didn't work out. Somehow I can’t find the real answer to my question. I’m confused and scared. I've realized that the love I have for myself is becoming less and less. I suffer from depression not just because of failed relationships I had but also for some frustrations and obstacles I need to go through to succeed. Succeeding seems so hard for me but still my mom is always there to give advice and I speak to God to have a peace of mind.

I realized I just want and see shiny things in life and forget about God’s plan for me. I am becoming very selfish and thinking only for myself. Being humans, we automatically become materialistic and desire more and more. My mom helped me to get this through by praying. She showed me love, care and understanding that lighten my perspective in life.

I toss out all the negativity and welcome positive thoughts to come inside my door. I hone the faith I have for God which I overlook because of my selfish desires before. We have been blessed to enjoy what God has placed on this Earth but it can become a double edged sword. I remember the Bible tells us that if we, “Take delight in the Lord, He will give us the desires of our heart” -Psalm 37:4. God knows what I wish for and He never failed to give me blessings. I’m really happy that He gave me a very loving family, friends and husband. Before, having a loving boyfriend is one of my wish but God gave me more than what I asked for. He gave me a very good man. I believed that my husband is a heaven sent. I also believed that God has the best plan for me – for all of us. We just need to wait for the perfect time.

I understand that we should put God first above anything else and everything will fall into the right place. We should place Him above our vision board. A vision board full of faith, hope, love, peace and kindness. He is the Almighty. I am allowing Him to run my life. I will not let negatives take over and will never worry even though wanting to succeed seems very tough because I have a BIG GOD.

Today, I pray that God will be first on my vision board and I will trust on Him alone. Allow Him to know what’s on your heart and mind. Speak to Him. Let’s see how our life changes as we place God as number one on our vision board.

IMAGINE. CREATE. DREAM.

20 KM trekking at Pulau Ubin

“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.” ― Arthur Conan Doyle

We've set a schedule to go trekking this Saturday. I felt so overwhelmed in boat ride and bicycle ride that it seems we're too thrilled and went to go biking for almost  8-9 hrs if my estimation is correct (?) But of course we have breaks in between those hours to eat lunch.

This is the first time I soaked up in the sun for almost 8 hrs, whew! Good thing I'm prepared. hehe!!

I wore plaid long sleeves, Denim jeans (which I turned into a capri pants), white oversized sunnies, a cap and of course my fave running shoes Nike. Oh and my feather earrings :)

Riding our bicycles <3

Hope, faith and Love

New Year away from home is so depressing but looking at the bright side, I’m with my husband in welcoming the year of the snake.  Another year had past and this means new adventure, new beginning… A brand new year!

I welcomed the New Year’s Eve with so much hope, faith and love. They say these three are the important elements in life. But the greatest of all is love. I believe everything comes from love, for example; without love there’s no faith and if there’s no faith, there would be no hope. For me, life without love is meaningless. I remember the song “All you need is love” by The Beatles. :)

I have a strong faith in everything, especially faith with God. Life can be very playful and sometimes problems are blocking my way but it doesn't mean that this will be permanent. It adds spice to your life anyway. Faith doesn't come over night; it is built and grown over a long period of time. In order to have faith you should be able to trust as well.

Hope is what I desire and I’m guilty that I always believe good outcome will come in to one’s life if you are hopeful. When you hope, it gives a fulfillment in our lives because you tend to expect that something good will happen to you but please don’t get despair if ever the roads you've traveled mislead you. Just remember, the road is enjoyable if you have hope because without it, there’s no life at all.

So make your choice, Faith, Hope or Love. Always remember these three comes in package. You can’t have just one of those three. With love comes faith, with faith comes hope and with hope comes life.

Cheers to a better year!

First Christmas in Singapore

This is my first Christmas away from home but looking at the bright side, I'm with my hubby. So I still feel like I'm home. I admit I missed my family in the Philippines but as much as I want to be with them right this moment, I can't. I also want to be with my husband and spend the holidays with him.

Anyway, my husband and I have decided to visit my good friend Kath in her office. Yes, Kath is on duty. I want to see her because since we came here in Singapore in Feb 12, 2012, I never get a chance to see her again. So I think tonight is just perfect :)

We spend hours of catching up and exchanging stories. We even talked about our dreams going somewhere when perfect time permits. It's a nice feeling spending time and talking to a good friend. I haven't notice that it's getting late and our housemates are waiting for us.

Here are some of our pictures inside their lobby.

Mr. and Mrs. Gutierrez

No longer one, but two

Most people don't know that I tied the knot. Some are very surprised because of our decision in getting married. Many were asking me if I'm preggy and if it's really final. Of course I'm very firm in my decision and no I'm not pregnant. Yes, we were married in civil ceremony and we planned that for about 6 months. It was very simple yet we get to see some close friends and get to spend a night with our family. The announcement is abrupt but not the marriage.

We arranged the wedding requirements and booked our wedding date a couple of months before his flight in Singapore. Honestly, it wasn't my dream wedding and we need to consider what should comes first on our list, dream home or dream wedding. We chose to have a dream home and then our dream wedding.

I'm such a lucky lady because my husband CAN bear my "kaartehan" ,"kakikayan" & being a "meticulosa freak". I'm a detailed-oriented person and I'm very keen in creating ideas and planning. I exceedingly pays attention to detail.

Every now and then we discuss about our dream wedding. It is no doubt and I can't hide that I really want to have a church wedding. I've been doing some research of wedding themes, who will be our photographer and videographer, bridesmaids dresses, flower arrangement but I spend a lot of time in searching the perfect wedding gown. 

I will not yet reveal my ideas here because I want it to be a little surprise for everyone, especially my wedding gown designer. Kabogera and peg!
