Growing up, I was taught that in order to have a successful life, I needed to make sure the path I paved as a child and as a teenager would determine how I would live as an adult. To be honest, did I pave the right path? Did I put in enough effort to set myself up for success? In full honesty, no...
Read MoreAlthough in my past posts I've talked about healthy eating and how I enjoy making clean yet delicious foods, it can become difficult to keep up a healthy lifestyle. Not gonna lie, I sometimes think that the best thing to do after a long day at work is to go home and eat yummy food while laying in bed watching Netflix (If you haven't thought about doing this after a tiring day at your job, you're lying.) And if you know me, you know I LOVE food. I'm not necessarily a foodie, but I was raised in the Filipino culture. And if you know anything about the Filipino culture, we love to eat!
Read MoreIt was a sunny Wednesday morning as I stood in the kitchen making my breakfast before work. With tired eyes, all I could think of was how grateful I felt it was the middle of the week. If I made it this far, then I could get through the rest of the week, right? As this thought lingered in my head, I heard foot steps approach the room.

Read MoreI remember the moment like it was just yesterday. My mom and I were driving down the freeway as the beautiful sun shined through the car windows. I was driving and she was in the front seat.

The conversation then led my mom to reveal a story about herself that I never knew, a story that really gave me a glimpse of her life journey...
Read MoreGrowing up, I didn’t really know what I wanted to be. I had thrown out different career titles here and there, mostly to please my parents. However, I wasn’t entirely sure where my life would lead me, where God would lead me...
Read MoreThe past few weeks have been crazy busy for me (I feel like all I talk about in my posts lately are how busy I am. LOL). With graduation around the corner, attending classes and being a working girl, my schedule is chalk full of things to do and places to be. Although I would rather be busy than be doing nothing at all, it can get too much sometimes...
Read MoreGrowing up, I always had the ability to look on the brighter side of things. I didn't know why, I didn't know how, I was just wired to be that way. Some of my friends would always ask me why I'm so positive, or how I could overcome negative situations so easily. The truth was, I had no idea why. I tried to figure it out, but that's just how I'm made. However, I did realize this: Having the strength to look at things more positively shifts the course of my life...
