Hey everyone! I'm happy that I'm really back to blogging and consistently publishing posts of personal and some new discoveries that get my interest online even if I'm super busy with my everyday work. On weekdays I do brainstorming for blog content and taking/baking orders of my offered pastries and cakes in my growing business while on weekends I work as a dental assistant at my auntie's dental office and do a site visit in our under construction beach house. My life is pretty busy and I sometimes forget to stretch and do some home workout. I'm binge eating for the past few days and I can't help but feel like I gained much weight in my belly and legs. 

As I was organizing and planning for a comeback home workout I listed some of the things that I want to try including in my routine. I have two in mind- one is doing jumping rope exercises and the other one is the one that caught my attention online, gymnastics. It's not really something new for me because I was doing that during PE classes when I was in Highschool and college but it thrills and excites me to at least try it again as something to help me develop balancing, coordination and flexibility. The movements involved there doesn't only gives me enough strength but also a nicer and more toned figure. 

One thing that I'm looking forward to aside from gymnastics itself is the fact that I'll be using tumble mats!!! I've never tried one and it thrills and excites me at the same time. When I visited the instagram page of @tumblemat_official I was more convinced that learning gymnastics is going to be really fun. 

Tumble mat claims to be the biggest tumble mat manufacturer producing the best tumble mat for 9 years already. They produce high quality, durable and better looking tumble mats that a lot of customers keep on going back. They can also customize and put your name or logo printed on your gym air tumble track. How cute is that right! :)

They have air tumble mat set for sale wherein you can choose from a wide range of colors of your own preference and according to the use that you want. Other than that they also offer free shipping if you're from the US plus you'll get a free air pump for every purchase of one! Isn't that a good deal??

Their tumble mats can also be used for leisure and fun especially that summer is fast approaching already! You can play some outdoor games and activities too such as slip n slide with your friends using their mat! Isn't it fun?! You may visit their website or instagram pages and see for yourself on what deals they offer! 

Let's all enjoy, keep moving, and let's workout!

 I've been keeping these photos for quite sometime now and I decided to put a draft on it last night, write everything I want and it led me to post something personal here. I'm quite emotional when I'm writing this because I feel like I'm at my lowest and weakest and I don't know how I'm going to overcome this quarter life crisis I am currently experiencing. But, thanks to him for finding the time to listen, understand and still motivate me when I feel like taking a break. I'm not expressive in social media about our relationship nor posts words of endearment but here's to one of the most personal letter to date that I will be sharing here on my blog. Here it goes...

As a growing, struggling and trying to be independent woman I have my life all figured out even before you came- put it in a timeline and promised myself to achieve everything that my heart desires. All I've wanted is to be of service to my family & give them everything that they deserve, help my mom build her dream house and practice my career abroad. When you came in picture 3 years ago, my plans went a little messed up, my timeline adjusted and my perspective in life changed. I'm not only thinking about 3 persons in my life now but 4. A lot of people told me before that when you enter in a relationship, you should be ready to get hurt, to cry, to fail and to be selfless. Well, it is true and I've experienced all of it. But, love made me experienced the best feelings that words can't even explain and I'm happy that it's with you who's by my side. I found a partner, a mentor and a bestfriend in you who give me everyday an assurance that I am capable, I am loved and I am someone to be proud of. 

First, I want to say "Thank You!" Thank you for the love, care and help that you have showered me. You have this way of making me feel so special that I can't also explain. You always annoy me but you also make me the happiest like a clueless kid. You always put a pressure on me whenever I feel down but I know that it's your way of motivating me. I hate it most of the time but I know that you believe what I am capable of and you don't want it to go to waste. Thank you for always believing in me and praying for me. I know it's hard to love a sick woman because it makes you worry most of the time. But thank you- thank you for enduring the pain with me and being my ray of sunshine. 

Sorry, sorry for being too loud, too annoying and too anxious. You know I have reasons behind it but still thank you for understanding. Sorry for being a scaredy cat at times when I'm afraid of things which doesn't happen yet (overthinker). Know that I am also tired of this attitude of mine but I'm really trying to let go each one at a time. Sorry for being a nagger at times. I know you hate it so much but there's always a reason behind all the nagging and rants. Sorry if I'm eating up all your patience and the least thing that I can do is to cry when you're mad. Sorry if I just look tough but a real cry baby inside. 

I love you Pau. Words can't explain how much I'm thankful for your presence. You, alone, gives me comfort and serenity. In this messed up world of mine, it is in you where I find peace and warmth. I always pray for your safety and health that you may always be guided wherever you go. I will always keep in mind your promises and someday, I wish to tick off our goals together as a couple and family. I am always rooting for you and your success, for your dreams to come true and know that through all your ups and downs I will always be by your side no matter what. Take care always and please don't forget that there's always me waiting and praying for you.

When I was a little kid, I've always wanted to be a princess. Up to now that I'm already turning 25 it's still in my dream list. I guess all my fairytale and princess fantasies will only happen when I get married to the love of my life. I don't want to put the pressure on my bf (hahaha) but I still see myself riding in a carriage, dressed in a beautiful princess gown and being welcomed by lots of people on the day of my wedding. It's not bad to dream too high as long as you're working hard for it and keeping your faith that someday it'll come true. Dibaaa?? 

Anyway, speaking of princess gowns, long tulle bridesmaid dresses are my choice of gowns for my bridesmaids. I don't want to be the only one feeling like a princess but also my friends who are going to be part of the entourage. Tulle skirts are just so fancy. It portrays the playful, fun and romantic feels that every girl wearing would love. Not only it is lightweight too but is also unique on its own. Tulle can be quite soft or very stiff and it has the magic of turning a plain dress into something extra- poofy!!! If we're in the same boat and have the same love for princess like dresses, here are some of my top tulle bridesmaid dresses picks for you :)

How'd you like my suggestions? For more tulle dresses you may head on to Alfabridal's website! See you in my next posts!

I just noticed that since last year I've been already talking about weddings and inspirations on the blog. I'm not yet getting married though unless my boyfriend have thought of proposing already. Hahaha! Just kidding! He might read this and thought of popping the question. I might freak out! Anyway, for today's post I'll be talking about "Dresses for Less". 

Before all the wedding planning proper happen the first thing that couples consider is the budget that they have to consider to cover the whole event. While everything in the check list matters most would probably put the bridesmaid dresses in the least priority. Most have the connotation that bridesmaid's dresses are always expensive but they don't really know that they can get something for less and of good quality if they just do some research online. I always tell you this, you don't have to spend too much to look beautiful because there are a lot of cheaper options online. Take this collection of modest bridesmaid dresses under 100 for example. These doesn't even look cheap at all.

 Hey everyone! How are y'all doing? I am so excited for the upcoming family events this coming April and May. Two of my cousins from both sides are tying the knot! They're slowly getting married and I couldn't be happier for both of them. I love weddings, I'm a big fan and I've been attending every wedding celebrated in the family since I was little. All the little details- the lavish gowns, beautiful makeup, everything are what I'm always looking forward to. This coming May my Ninang is getting married to his long term boyfriend in Tagaytay. Guess what, I'll be part of her entourage and I'm so happy! I'm not only excited about the ceremony itself but I'm also excited with our gowns. 

This year's wedding is all about simplicity and elegance. Ever since pandemic weddings started I've seen a lot of classic themes being followed by different couples on their weddings. Floor length chiffon dresses became also a thing as bridesmaids dresses especially in the top classic colors and cuts. You don't have to show off too much to look good- simply looking sophisticated in this dress and you're good to go!
