I always have this urge to see as much and eat as much as possible while traveling.  I ate about almost an hour every free buffet breakfast in the hotel and I guess I had finished more than 20 of the most delicious buttered croissant I had tasted in three days.  Call me crazy but I do eat a lot.  

BUT days always pass as fast as it can....

 Düsseldorf is my first German trip and it is known for it's fashion industry and art scene. Shopping was everywhere even on the smallest of streets and Königsallee is just breathtaking.  It is where a very beautiful canal landscaped is surrounded by luxurious retail stores.  It was raining and it did not stop me from discovering the peaceful place.  I visited the Church, lit some candles and PRAY.  I always have this in mind that when it's your first time in one place, make a wish and it will come true. 
  
I get so excited when sorting through my travel pics, I discover details that I missed while I was there.  I am forever grateful to God and my job that I can see beautiful places, meet old and new friends.  I remember one of my favourite moments was just sitting in front of the Rhine river enjoying the weather and the beautiful view.
  

           
Love,

Peek-a-boo....pink or blue. A blessing from Heaven.

This is the most exhilarating post I’ve written so far, as today’s content is all about the baby in my tummy who is expected to arrive on April 2018.   Riggi and I are truly humbled by God’s continuous blessing. And just like that, we are pregnant!!   I had my first-born child 11 years ago; it’s been a while but mother’s instinct made me realize I am pregnant.   Early July I was feeling dizzy and sore.   I blamed it again on my hypotension but as the days passed by I knew it was something else.   I tried my best not to feel excited until I have the confirmation in front of me.   I did the home pregnancy test and it was positive.   I hid the result from Riggi as I had planned to reveal it to him as a surprise on his birthday by August.   Well, it did not turn out that way.   I just had to inform him because I need an ObGyn as soon as possible and I need Riggi’s help. We were having our normal dinner one Monday evening in July...

I am Home - My Beach Summer Wedding

Image
Not all weddings are the same but each has their own unique spin.   We know full well just how much love, hard work and caffeine-fuelled late nights go into a running-kind-of-planning a wedding just to make it as special as it is.   When it comes to our wedding, we had chosen to return to our hometown in Cebu.   Cebu is blessed with white sand beaches perfect for a beach summer wedding. “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” – Carl Jung Cliché as it sound but it is how I felt with my husband.    We often look for someone to complete us but in my experience, I found “my someone” when I stopped looking for one.    I had decided to turn my attention to myself – to get to know me better, to heal the past wounds and to develop a better me.    It was when that someone came along.   It has been over three months since we got married.    My husband and I are still over the clouds.   I know; I...

I said "YES" in Osaka, Japan.

Image
As they said you'll get "lost in translation in Japan," I was lost for a moment.  I was lost for words and never even imagined that Osaka, Japan will be a memorable trip for me. In the morning of Friday the 13th May 2016, I was getting ready for a stroll to a high rise Umeda Sky Building.  I never would have imagined that my life would change in just one magical question. I noticed Riggi keeps on changing his mind whether to go on top of Umeda Sky Building or to go to the HEP five ferris wheel as we were both so scared of the height.  Little did I know he was weighing on where to make his plans come true.  He then decided for Umeda Sky Building as he saw a poster mentioning about the lovely wedding which was held on top.  It was his sign, I guess.  Sure, getting on one knee while holding a ring box sort of says it all.  BUT this is not always the case. Why Friday the 13th?  Funny as it seems but my boyfriend being his usual postive ...
