Pepsico Love.

Once upon a time a worked for an FMCG company and belonged to the best KAG team. Pepsico! :) I am really blessed to be working with these people, and even if I haven't stayed long because I need to go back to our family business, they have been really close to me. I love the whole team, they have been very helpful to me, both in work and in my personal life.

Last Monday, John and I passed by their office and to my surprise, they're talking outside the building. They said they want to visit me here in Bulacan and they did! :)

And our topic? Same same. hahaha! Oh our team used to be an all-girl team, but that's Gerbert, Hanna's instant boylet! :P he's handling the accounts that I have handled before. He quite funny too, and experienced every single thing that I've experienced. Oh boy, don't give up! :)

Anyway, just sharing that I feel so touched that they travelled from Manila to Bulacan just to see me. Sweets!:)


much love,

I'm back!

Hello everyone! I just got back from our very memorable Korea trip yesterday with my husband and I must say that Korea is a destination to every traveler's book. I fell in love with everything in it. From food (mostly spicy), to people, and most especially the places we've been to. A week is just too short! I am still in the process of compiling all our photos 1,000+++! from my phone, to my husband's cameras. So now, I will just be sharing a few of our favorite photos. All by my hubby and his tripod. :P

Quality Time.

First of all, I want to express how excited I am for our autumn Korea trip this weekend. Been saving up and planning this trip since February, and now that we're three days away from our honeymoon part 2, I can't hide how elated I am knowing that I will delete one item in my growing bucket list. (which I plan to post again after this entry)

So, what's new? I am still in my TTC journey, but I have decided not to be that pressured like before, because, there's no point of stressing myself in something which I know will come on the right time. As a newly-wed couple (we're three months away from our first wedding anniversary so I still consider that as new, right?:P), we're still on our journey to save up for our own house and our future. I was trained to be independent, I always work hard for everything that I have right now. Believe it or not, I didn't have any jewelries before my engagement ring. Sure, my parents have their businesses, but I chose not to associate myself on what they have. So with the help of my ever frugal husband, we are saving up for our own little abode. It is also our mutual decision not to live with either of our families, because we are both raised to be on our own ever since.

Before marriage, our original plan is to try to have a baby a year after our wedding. Because it is a mutual decision to enjoy our time together before our little bundle of joy. But then the condition that I have right now made it difficult to proceed as planned, so as early as last month, I had my OB check up done. And now, we are exhausting our means to conceive. I can feel the pressure, from my family, friends, and everybody else except my husband. He had been very understanding and supportive. Now, I came to a realization that maybe, God is giving us enough time to enjoy as a couple before giving us our child. I still get to travel (which is one of my favorite things to do), shop for myself, and go out with my friends until the wee hours of the day. I still get to enjoy watching a movie with my husband whenever I want to.

I just want to share our most recent photo (excuse my haggard feslak) to remind me that I am still fortunate to have the luxury of time to share with my husband alone. We are fans of cheap thrills and inexpensive dinners, and last night, we we're able to spend time again together. We had a massage and cheap (yet yummy) dinner after. I know everything will change when God grants our wish, so instead of being too hard on myself, I will enjoy our time together and thank God for the most precious gift of time. :)

Fangirling.

Last night we had an impromptu dinner with my bestfriend, my parents, and her parents. (FYI, our mothers are the best of friends as well, so that explains the dinner :P) I am so happy that I finally convinced my parents to eat in Cerchio, because they never trusted my taste in food. I get a chance to play with Ghia's niece (who is super hyper btw), Ely! She's such a cute and smart little kid!

Believe me, this kid is super duper hyper! I have only played for her for about three hours (with Ghia) and I am totally exhausted! I was not able to eat well!

So this is our obligatory group photo, and as always, my father is not looking. 

But that's not all! While we're eating our dinner, we saw a lot of people shouting outside.. And when we checked.. It's Dingdong Dantes!! Inaki! (TGIS days, 90's kid, okay?:P) Our moms are bigger fans than we are, we waited for another three hours just to see and have our photos taken with Dingdong!

What an amazing photo! Blurred! I would like to thank my mom for this, ang labo! I wanna cry! Opportunity knocks only once! Just once! So unfair that I took a perfect photo of her with D! And my photo is just. fab. I wanna cry. *end of story*

till my next adventure! :)

much love,

Optimism required.

So lately I've been keeping myself occupied of happy thoughts just because I can no longer stand the pressure of everything that is happening around me. My husband has been telling me to keep it low and take it easy (parang kanta lang ah) because God will give us everything in His right time. Who am I to question his plans? 

He's really listening, he gave sent me this message this morning via Timehop. (techie narin si Lord!)

If you have been reading my posts, you'll know that I am diagnosed with PCOS. And I am doing everything just to have our little bundle of joy. Anyway, it's just our first cycle, and it is indeed to early to think that we failed. But believe me, it hurts me to see my husband enjoying the kids of other young couples, as if it is his own. And God knows how much I would love to have our own. But maybe, just maybe, this is not His time yet. So I should keep in mind that I should always be thankful, that I have my husband to pray with every night. I will never stop telling myself that God's time is always perfect. And that is enough for me. :)

Till my next adventure!:)

much love,

My favorite shobe! :)

I am not sure if I have posted anything about this little girl yet. She's John's niece, Kirsten. This little girl never fails to amaze me, because of her weird questions and out of this world answers to my simple wonders. Anyway, last Monday, I got the chance to bond with her. John fetched her from school because her mom is having a meeting that day. What a coincidence, we will be getting our visas that day. After we got our visas *yay* I went back to Maginhawa (where John works) and played with her. We had our little "date" in Burger Project!

She made this "card" for me. She said it's from Frozen. So sweet!

So I got her this huge serving of chili cheese fries. I heard her saying "wow!this is so yummy! It's a bit spicy, but it's awesome!" so cute!xx

I love this little girl to bits! She even asked some "intriga" questions about my past! I can't imagine a five year old kid can make me think about everything again while laughing at my misadventures!:P

 This little girl is a camwhore! She loves taking funny pictures of us, so I obliged. :) I said she's the boss today!:) And then she asked me, who is your favorite shobe? (My husband has chinese blood, that explains the "shobe") Of course I said Kirsten! And she's really happy! I didn't say that just to pacify her. She really is! :)

till my next adventure!

much love
