Jumeirah Lakes Towers flea market


After Netflix aired tidying up with Marie Kondo most of us seems to have the urge to declutter.  I've been thinking about decluttering even way before KonMari method came to light but to be honest with you, she influenced me a lot too.  It is stressful seeing the amount of stuffs keeps on piling up especially after Heaven was born.  BUT the truth is her method may not be for everyone because it requires a lot of time and I don't have those times.  I just simply want to release those things that no longer serve us and create our simple abode with new energy to flourish. 

Then I thought of Dubai flea market.  It is one of the best places to sell those unwanted stuffs and at the same time enjoy myself selling with all the other Dubai expatriates.  This is my second time selling in Dubai Flea Market (the first was in 2012) and I am truly thankful for the organizers to have this kind of event in Dubai. 









Dubai Flea Market gave us the opportunity not only to sell but also buy second hand items and pre-loved items too.  If you need some thing from kitchenware to housewares, textile, toys, clothes, used electronics and even antique stuffs and you are on a tight budget, this is the place for you.  As Dubai Flea Market's slogan says: "Your trash maybe someone else's treasure."  Visit their website here to check on upcoming event dates and locations: https://www.dubai-fleamarket.com/




It is a relief of freedom when letting things go.  It is a refuge from clutter and your pad will be more uplifted when you come home from a tiring day.  

When it was all over, I gave all the remaining items to donations and came back home with a smile on my face.  Opening up your space will allow you to breathe.  

Special thanks to my husband who was on full support all throughout.  I will never be able to get through it all without your hand.



If there is one thing I learned and realized in this whole process; it is that keep what you love and let go of the rest.  From this, you will be able to relish that deep joy of freedom that comes when we let go of the things that don’t matter and make way for what truly does.

"The best way to find out what we truly need is to get rid of what we don't." - Marie Kondo

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 ...
