Every now and then, I get these inspiring posts from Instagram about loving yourself and appreciating yourself for what you are. Thoughts like " Admire someone else's beauty while appreciating your own" and "the older you get, the better you get...unless you're a banana." Funny but true, at least for me. I never really loved myself until I got older and had kids. I was looking at my photos when I was in my 30s and I even prefer myself now, 10 years later. The quest to feel beautiful was an uphill climb. In fact, I would like to think the battle scars and experiences ... Continue Reading...

It has been close to 10 years since I first tasted Blugre Coffee in Davao City, the place where it all began.

‘Broken Mirror: Inside a Chinese Marriage’ the book
It's my New Year's resolution to watch more movies and read more books in 2017. Am glad I stumbled upon this book because a friend gave me a copy - Broken Mirror: Inside a Chinese Marriage.
