“Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see greatness within you, even when you don’t see it yourself.” ~ Edmund Lee I have to refresh my memory growing up with artists at home. My father was an Illustrator and my mother …
On Purple Wings
Sharing with you my passion for life through Food, Travel, Arts and Love. =) A devotee of Ms. Elsie De Wolfe: “I’m going to make everything around me beautiful – that will be my life.”
2015 – The year that was…
2015 – THE YEAR THAT WAS… 2015 was a year full of choices. Good and bad. Of writing from the heart. Of discovering new realms. And knowing where it’ll lead me. It was a year of ecstasy, and disappointments. And just like everyone else’s, it was a year of laughter and tears. It was a year …
Sweet victory for Pia – Miss Philippines bagged the Miss Universe’2015 title! =)
Miss Philippines as Miss Universe 2015 – Finally!!! I could not contain being ecstatic when Ms. Pia Wurtzbach won the title. Despite of that famous, huge blunder by Steve Harvey. In fairness to him, I admire him for correcting his mistake immediately, if they will retract it at a later time, they would have spelled …
Planning for the year I’m dreaming of!
Planning for the year I’m dreaming of! <Part 2 of: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail> “Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.” ~Twyla Tharp~ For more than a decade of keeping two planners for my personal use and for my job. It was easy then to accomplish …
Life is always BEAUTIFUL!
Life is always beautiful… Inspired by Pinay’s “Will of hope”… Message for my friend: Pinay – I have written this wishing that I am as strong as you. God bless you… My life… I normally run out of words if I speak of life. Moreso, my life. My beautiful life. How I was created by our …
Hi! I’m Beaut!
They used to call me “Laguna girl”. I grew up in San Pedro, Laguna in the Southern part of the Philippines. An only daughter with an only son.
Passionate with so many things. A lover of life itself. First is to write. I used to sing (I specifically love the stage), I read a lot,
I cook simple to challenging recipes for my loved ones, I travel to capture breathtaking pictures (inheriting my passion in Photography from my late father), a nature lover, I find rainbows, butterflies,
flowers,
rainbows and trees as God’s most beautiful gifts.
I love it that traveling allows me to try and learn cuisines that are new to me (being a foodie) and I get to meet different people too.
I do abstract painting, I am a Craft enthusiast (quilting & scrap-booking), all of which are my own way of expressing my love for life and surround myself with anything but pretty.
Blogging makes me happy and I want to see if I’m going to click in this premise. Sharing anything that might benefit my circle and mankind too, specifically my fellow Filipinos here and abroad.
I’m a color devotee and been in love with the color purple or violet.
I like pink, red and teal too! =) I dreamt of joining that team who does colorful outdoor murals. Or anything that has to do with the Arts.
Coffee is my water,
and my comfort food are: blueberry cheesecake, frozen yogurt, sansrival and cream puff. I mastered fettuccine carbonara because it is my favorite, along broccoli with prawns and mushrooms Chinese style. =)
I love “Stitch” – that grinning indigo pup and still in love with Daryl (remember those muscles in the series “The Walking Dead”).
I have a sort of vintage taste for Interior Designing and Fashion (must be the gypsy in me). I am awed by it validating my wondering if I am an old soul.
Ultimately, I intend to be a not so famous Author someday. =) I’m just waiting for God’s time for my first book to be published.
Please drop by for a comment or two, you are always welcome here, come fly with me “On Purple Wings!” (–,)
Sending love to the world!
