L♥ve is a Mutt

First few minutes of September oh-13 and here I am, restless and tweaking my personal blog. I have changed the layout. Do you like it? I would surely miss my last layout though. :( I just need to have a sidebar right now. I want to not let you suffer the mouse-scrolling-down activity just so you could see my GFC button, my blog roll and maybe some sponsorship links. I am writing because I need to spill my thoughts to you. + mom said they won bingo 3 times: [ coffee maker ] [ rice cooker ] [ toaster ] + the one who congratulated her won the next round: [ BBQ grill ] + unproductive today. zero. nada. sometimes, we have to pick our loved ones over our work. + wasted the whole day just to get an MRI recommendation for J. how %^^*%*^%&$#%#& medical procedures are these days + developed an addiction to being productive + being idle makes me grumpy + have to change my blog layout to de-stress + thinking of buying in iPhone5C  instead of the 5S or 6. my phone is on her m

I am the type of woman who would prefer to don simple, yet rocking outfits. I do not prefer over-the-top fashion for I feel no need to be a walking Christmas tree, whatever the season is.  So, I put up these two fashion ensembles which I would definitely wear. The challenge for this outfit selection is to incorporate work boots without losing the feminine aura .  The first one is the Day Outfit in combat boots . Here. H&M Knitted Jumper from H&M Boody Tank Top from The Iconic Australia Black Moto Jeans from Topshop Dr Martens Icon 7B10 Work Boots from Dr Martens Canada Industrial Zara Messenger Bag from Zara Chanel Bangle set from Fashionphile What do you think? I love wearing plain tees and racer backs. I really think that racer backs are convenient -- you can wear them on an errand run or you could wear them with office jackets. That's what I do when I wake up late and there's no need to decide on what to wear.  Also, you should

A few weeks ago, I have decided to take my finances seriously. I think I just got tired of living from paycheck to paycheck. I wanted to live a life, knowing that I can relax a bit and stop thinking about money for a while. I want to attain financial freedom in an early age so that I could help my family and those in dire need of financial makeover. I am starting with myself. If you are also having trouble with money, read on. We may have the same reasons. I've made this post to remind me in case I'll feel discouraged and spendy in between my financial stretches. Hah, I've outwitted myself, huh? In attaining Financial Freedom in this modern world, you just have to have a new mindset, the right attitude   and a little spank on the butt sometimes. I'm trying to do the latter by imprinting my very reasons on why I decided to take my finances seriously. Let's start? Here we go. I got tired of receiving a slimmer paycheck. via I have been receiving only h

It's been raining for days here in my country. Although I am loving the feeling, inside my room, all curled up with my blanky and my lappy beside me, I can't stop feeling selfish for there are other people who have lost their homes, their cars... people who chill all night long with just 1 piece of clothing. I pray for my country and I pray for the rain to stop and for Maring to go away. Let us help each other. BUT, on times like this one, we shouldn't lose our TRUST   in Him. We should even pray all the MORE. To cheer you up and to remind you of His love, I am sharing this song of Jamie Grace , a super amazing God girl and Christian singer. I love her voice and the message of her songs. Check it out below. When trouble seems to rain on my dreams, it's not a B I G, not a   b i g  deal. Let it wash all the bugs off my windshield 'cause You're showing me in You, I'm free...

About the song: You could listen to a more beautiful rendition of Katie Herzig's Hey Na Na on YouTube . I just wanted to embed a SoundCloud music in my post because of better aesthetics. Anyhow, the song is about a girl having a crush on this guy who is taken, I suppose. But, replace the guy with your dreams. Internalize the song as if you're having this desire to go get your dreams and not the man.  Hey, guys. Lately, I have been obsessed with my dreams -- writing them down, blogging them out and diving into the blurry unknown. Do you, like me, dream of having the power to create your dream job? Attaining financial freedom? Writing your very own book? Exploring the world? Owning the latest Toyota vehicle -- 2014 Tundra which is coming out this Fall? It has been -- and is still  a rollercoaster ride and I want you to ride with me. I'll be sharing the actions that I have been doing for the past months, hoping that it'll benefit you too or just inspire you. Wha

Getting Steaky at Chili's  Chili's Grill & Bar Restaurant Review Chili's Grill & Bar Megamall 2/L Mega Atrium,  SM Megamall Edsa  cor. Julia Vargas Ave., Mandaluyong City ,  631-0380 Website |  Facebook  | Twitter One afternoon after doing our errands, the G team wanted to try out a new restaurant to de stress from work and to enjoy a little more of the good life. They battled between a couple, but then they arrived on one decision -- Chili's. Upon seeing the packed restaurant, we thought we wouldn't be disappointed with the decision. There were two people before us in the waiting area. In no time, we were accompanied by one of the staff inside. We opted to go dine inside so that we can take a better feel of the place. Since this is a burger - steak - quesadillas type of restaurant, I had a hard time picking out the food. I love Mexican and American food! THE BAR Greeting the main door of the restaurant is the bar of Chili's. I like the induced party-mo

via It's sweater weather once again in my country and oh how I love this weather, especially on weekend nights, when I am on my bed, rain heavily pouring on my rooftop and the cold seeping in through my blanket. My favorite cup of tea will be beside me while I read a book, all Yiruma songs filling up the entire space in my room until I fall asleep. If Filipino hasn't been written in my birth certificate as my nationality, I would have believed that I were Japanese. Well, not physically though, but towards their great appreciation for rain. Do you know that the Japanese has 50 words for rain ? Well, they do not have acid rain in the list, but they have created different names for different types of rain. (Sort of like me, creating different blogs for different interests). They have 3 names for rain showers, a different one for rain alone and another one for rainfall. I am not quite sure where the difference lies. Rain can be a drizzle, heavy downpour or just the

Hi, there! You must have been wondering what's up with me. If not, beg my ego for thinking that way. Abstinence has its benefits. Woah, don't get me wrong there, babe. Abstinence doesn't only mean from the three s word. Abstinence can also mean self-control. The benefits of abstinence is astounding; it helps you focus on things that you deem more important to you. Like for me, I have been away because I was busy chasing my dreams. I want to get to my financial freedom while I am young and I want to help other people in getting there too. :) That's why I have a plan of creating a Finance blog soon if I am already prepared for being a guru. Also, I have been away from this blog for a while because I have been hanging out in other spaces or on other blogging platforms for that matter. See, I have these HUGE dreams and goals and mind you, after starting out How Did the Dame Do Today? blog, I kind of fast tracked my way on getting there. It's a blog of the e
