These Little Wonders

Life consists of ups and downs, victories and defeats, pains and joys, successes and failures. For the past (almost) three decades, I’ve been learning and re-learning things. While I still cannot consider myself an expert, I have gained knowledge on life’s essentials - how to not just survive, but thrive! Thanks to the best mentor in the world – experience! I do not regret learning them the hard way. I just wish I had known them earlier. :) Learn from the past. Live the present. Look forward to the future. ♥ So, if I had the chance to talk to my younger self, I would have given her the following life lessons:  D elays are not denials. I recently read a book by Mitch Albom where he wrote, “It is never too late or too soon. It is when it is supposed to be.” Had I read that long before, I would not have drowned in too much misery and self-pity for all the “delays” in my life. See I am a highly-organized woman who values time. I strictly follow schedules and I set de...

The Nativity of Saint John the Baptist Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 1:57-66.80.  When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son.

Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed, and he spoke blessing God.  Then fear came upon all their neighbors, and all these matters were discussed throughout the hill country of Judea.  All who heard these things took them to heart, sayi...

Hey! I'm still alive! And so is this blog! ♥♥♥ If you know me so well, you would know that I'm the kind of person who likes to schedule things. For me, TIMING is very important. I'm obsessed with numbers and meanings.  But just recently, I was reminded that life is too short, and I just couldn't WAIT for the perfect moment, I have to create it.  I always say that ALL IT TAKES IS A DECISION. I have made the decision to start over - begin again, pursue the dreams I have kept in my heart since time immemorial, become the awesome woman I am meant to be (because I believe we're all destined for greatness).  I have always wanted to revive this blog, but for the longest time, I've been arguing with myself about the "when."  Yesterday, Facebook reminded me of something which really motivated me because it came from someone I look up to (and now, I'm literally looking up to her in heaven).  Thank You, Ate Dona! You are one brave s...
