The moon

The moon.  The reassuring feeling the moon gives.  It follows you like the eyes of a loved one looking after you.

It reminds you of the beauty of what lies ahead.  It reminds you to wipe off the tears.  It reminds you to smile. It reminds you to see the miracles of life, of love.

It reminds you that, you are loved.

Deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us..."



Completely forget

...but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13–14
 

Strawberry Toner Recipe

I have tested this myself (including my mother) and I (we) love it so I wanted to share it.  It has worked really well on my oily skin that I stopped using my regular toner for three weeks now.

I added a pinch of salt because, in my research, I learned that salt is quite good for people with oily skin.

Please consume within 30 days

McQueen And I

He's a wild bird and he makes clothes fly. - Isabella Blow

John Galliano's Interview with Charlie Rose

I am happy he's alive and he's given second chance.  I really really liked him before but I love him now.   As a result of what happened to him, I observed that it has turned him into a humble man.

Blueprint Done

Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. - Proverbs 16:3

*deep happy sigh* Here's the business plan I was putting on hold for so many years.  Done na. Yes!  All in God's time. :)

The Time Of My Life - Princess (Addicted To Acoustic)

*Fashion *Love *Display *Slim's

One of my secret dreams happened yesterday. Slim's displayed my work at the entry hall, on Valentine's Day.

It's a big deal to me, first, it happened on Valentine's Day when I wasn't expecting anything special to happen; second, I was only dreaming of it when I was a newbie in the school.

Thank you God for surprising me.



Two designs on display.My work and James' work.  They put mine on the vacant mannequin yesterday.

It is not given, it is earned


It applies to trust, respect, friendship, love, success.  Everything that is beautiful takes time.
It took me years to get it.  Quantity and overnight success ceased to impress me.

Work Area for now

Dito muna ko sa may kitchen. :D 
I am fine with a small space.  This will do for now.  What's important is, I have a space.

I have been studying at Slim's since 2013 and I didn't know my mother thought I wasn't serious about the fact that I really really want to become a fashion designer and someday, run my own boutique. We were laughing but yes, I am serious about this. :)

That old sewing machine my father bought for my mother has a buttonholer...  Who knew?  That made me really really happy.  It has embroidery features, too.  Even its zigzag feature can be used as an edger.  Wow.  Nice.

My drafting table,  It's too big but it's my table since college so it needs to be here.  Finally, I have found a proper use for it.

Tadaaaaah! :D Just got delivered today. :D  Thanks to Mang Danny.

It's coming together.  Thank you God.
