You are the best one...

...of the best ones. Last December 12, Paul and I spent out 4th anniversary as a couple and I could still perfectly recall how my man stole my heart. We spent a few days in Tagaytay since the place is very much special for us (we spent our 2nd year anniversary here as well). We stayed in Taal Vista and had the most relaxing and romantic staycation. Sharing to you some pictures and Paul's ever funny gift presentation.






So Paul got me a gift...


I was laughing so much since I opened a lunchbox..


With another gift inside..


A gift of time..more happy times!


Walang iwanan.. tayo lang forever! I love you 💜💛💚

Thankful and Grateful

2016 is definitely the best year by far. Career, family, love and life-wise, this year has been nothing but good to me and the people I love. As a matter of fact, I can really say I'm extra blessed in where I am in my life right now. Today, we have received the memo of the promotes for the year. And you guessed it right.. I'm promoted! I'm now promoted to Team Lead - not to brag but I got to this in just 5 years ;) Now, being a lead in a I.T. type of work is no easy task. Basically, you get to handle a team of more than 10 with people of different personalities and different priorities in life. I could choose to look at the negative, but I'm choosing to look at the positive.
Today, it's month end and it's raining issues in the department of Finance.. but who cares right? There will always be issues, there will always be hardships. But believe me when I say that a right and positive mindset followed up by an action alongside a powerful prayer is all you need to succeed. And along the way, don't forget to share your success to other too.

P.S. My housekeeper was very kind so I gave a little tip just to thank her and also to welcome December 1 with a little thoughtfulness. Look at what she gave me in return :)

Life Lately 2

I want to start off this post by saying I'm SOOOO CRAZY ABOUT COLDPLAY. Like who wouldn't be right? It's fuckin' COLDPLAY! So when the news came that they're coming to Asia, that they're coming to the Philippines, I was in complete panic because I already know that my luck when it comes to rush buying of online tickets is very low (I have proven this a couple of times on the Cebu pacific promo ticket sales lol).

Anyway, I just proved that right because I did try the Globe pre-selling and Citibank pre-selling. Not to mention that I tried (alongside some friends) to purchase tickets from Singapore! Even on the Day 2 selling I WAS NOT able to get any tickets. So it's safe to say that at this point, I was really frustrated. I even got into a point where I was crying while driving and listening to Coldplay (crazy? yeah).

I kinda have accepted the fact that I will not be able to see them play live and I was kinda okay with it. Although 'OK' does not necessarily mean you're really okay. I still discuss it alongside my "same crazy" group of friends who weren't able to get tickets as well.

Then one day... someone came from North Pole and probably asked Santa to give me my gift early! The best boyfriend in the world got me tickets!!! I went from semi-crazy to tremendously crazy when I read his comment on one of our discussions on  my page. Aww right? AWW.

I never pressured the man to get me tickets to see the best band in the world, but he did anyway, because he's just that great. I then told him that the only reason I want to go to Coldplay is so our first concert together would be Coldplay. I could imagine us singing along to Yellow, Everglow, Fix You, Up and Up and more!!! I can't wait for April! I am so giddy right now! Thank you, my love Paul!

And it doesn't end there! This guy has actually won the 'Best Boyfriend' award! On the day before I left for India, he did all my lengthy and crazily exhausting errands with me and ensured I got everything I need. He's just the best and I'm so lucky! Here we are and our 'LDR' situation which will last for 2 weeks. I can't wait to go home and spend time with him, we have so much exciting plans for our 4th anniversary! Yay! <3
