Windy Day

It was super windy when this was taken so I was struggling to keep my hair and scarf in place. 

Thoughts for the day

You've probably read them before but these are some of the things that I want to be reminded of. Sometimes, it's hard to be different and follow a different path than everyone else but at the end of the day, it's worth it. A lot of people have been asking me what I have been doing to keep myself busy and all I can say is nothing much, which is true since I just stay at home most of the time. To most, it sounds boring and all but to be honest, I am fine with it. I consider myself a homebody and if at this point, it's what I can do for now, then I am good with it. But it doesn't mean that it's what I intend to do forever. Also, this blog is a good escape and place for me to get busy. I haven't had the time to update it before but now, I have all the time in the world. :) 

Mini Alexander

Went to Salvation Army the other day and scored this mini backpack ala Alexander Wang.

Oh Autumn

Sharing with you some of the things that inspire me during my walk this morning. enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's my first Thanksgiving ever. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in the Philippines so I am pretty excited about it. My husband, on the other hand, finds that it's just another holiday. Anyway, I'm still excited. Unlike in the US, Thanksgiving in Canada is celebrated on the second Monday of October. We went to the supermarket for some turkey breasts but there's none left so we settled for some huge chicken breasts instead. Jesse did the cooking and they were yummy! 

I have to say I have a lot of things to be thankful for that sometimes I overlook them and end up complaining about things that don't really matter at all. I try to remind myself everyday that I am very blessed with the life that I have now, the people that I am with and with what I have - no matter how big or small they are. It helps to step back once in a while and examine my life from the outside to realize how amazing life is. I can go on and on with these cliches but the bottom line is appreciate what we have and stop complaining about nonsense stuff (ok, maybe it's fine to complain sometimes but don't sulk). As my husband always say, enjoy life one day at a time. 

What about you, what are the things you are thankful for?
