FURLALA!
Thank you to my sponsors, mama and papa, for flying this out from Rome!
If there’s anything my parents would splurge on for me, aside from a glorious trip abroad, it’s..ehem, bags. Mama can always say NO to me for asking her to buy me a pair of expensive shoes from Zara but she’s unlikely to say NO when I ask for a nice, durable bag. Don’t get me wrong, I do not abuse. I...

Bubong
My family loves to invent/use funny words/names.
Case-in-point, I was called mikaging-ging when I was a little girl, pronounced as mi-ka-ging-ging because I was tabachingching (or, chubby). Haha. And we call our dog Kobe pachuychuy or pochoy when we’re making lambing.
Hence, the title of this another shallow entry. Bubong is from the word, pasalubong or a present coming from a trip...

Okay, so this is how random as I can get…
I’m pretty sure not everyone knows that I am a Dazer. No, we didn’t have pens stuck in our pwet as spread by an old joke.
When I was in high school, my good friend Winna encouraged me to go on a retreat with other girls from Assumption and Poveda. I said yes, simply because I sorta needed it- I needed a better version of...

15th of May
The 15th of May is supposed to be a day of spectacle for us working in RLC.
Unlike most companies, RLC actually doesn’t have any other bonuses aside from the 13th month pay, which is mandated by law. This fact makes everyone excited for the so-called, merit increase that happens annually and effected on the 15th of May each year.
Last night, we were supposed to receive our take home pay w/the...

26 weeks
I am officially 20lbs heavier and a million times happier.
I’m more than halfway through my pregnancy and my baby boy’s active as ever. (whispers: following the parentals’ footsteps, baby Marcelo?:P)
Lately, I’ve been regularly doing lapses in the pool to get rid of the usual swelling, which is usually triggered by high salt intake or lack of movement and physical...
Two things define you. Your patience when you have nothing, and your attitude...

Thank You.
My day started out fine, actually. I woke up early with a sweet kiss from my husband, prepared healthy breakfast, showered, drove to work and came on time.
Hours later, I received a random call from Saz who delivered some bad news. Inevitable as I thought, anxiety rushed all over me and I just couldn’t make him feel better so I calmed myself down and told myself not to dwell on it and...

Decorating the House!
So Saz and I have finalized the theme for our small living room, which is Moroccan-inspired. Been looking for Moroccan pieces over the net and found myself ogling over these handmade tapestry and pillow cases from www.inspiredbazaar.com

Repost: How to properly wash your brushes
Anonymous asked: Hi Cy, been reading stuff from you. I know marriage and having a baby isn't the perfect scenario but well, you are guided by the big man up there. I just want to ask how did you know he was the right one for you (other than the discovery weekend, etc)? I really want to know! :)

Travel Tidbits!
First off, let’s give credit to whom credit is due. I got this great visual guide from Patty Laurel’s blog http://www.pattylaurel.com/.
With my parents’ upcoming 2-week trip to (cue tears) Europe, I thought this would be a good reference as to what they should be packing in their small suitcases! They always tell me to keep things light when traveling (save the space for...

Road Rage
I get pissed, I curse, I get angry with stupid and mean drivers on the road. Motorcycle, taxi, jeepney and the worst of all, buse drivers who weave through the road without any consideration of safety and rules.
I am guilty of ticking off easily on the road. And, sadly, I know I got this disposition from my dad… he’s just a tad worse. Or so I think.
Easily angered, ill-tempered,...
