2013

2013
It's seems almost unreal that 2013 is almost over. What started off as a terrible year and one I thought I would always look back on full of regret has turned out to be a year of lots of introspection, self-learning, and just pure amazing- ness . I really, truly couldn't have asked for much m…

Hello, December!

Hello, December!
My favorite month of the year. Christmas trees, Christmas lights, Christmas music. Cooler weather. Hot chocolate. Home baked cookies. Family coming over. Presents. And the best thing? Travel. I get two weeks off from work and the opportunity to travel to a place I look forward to every day. What is …

Thanksgiving 2013

Thanksgiving 2013
I had such an amazing Thanksgiving this year.... like it was soooo good. I hosted my first Thanksgiving in my new home that, although a bit stressful, was so much fun! Julito stayed over the night before (he's been spending a lot of time with me lately and I am so thankful for that) and we bake…

It was over a year ago that I thought to myself.... "I will start blogging again". This blog has pretty much remained "empty" since then. Hmmm.. Life happens, yes. I have been busy as all hell, true. But I  need  to do this. I need this outlet. I miss my blogging days dearly. I mi…

Finding Myself

Finding Myself
{image via} Nothing is ever really what I expect it's going to be. lol. Sometimes I am just HIT RIGHT ON THE FACE with the unexpected but other times, I welcome it. We come across people and certain situations and all we can do is hope that it all turns out to be an experience that is memorable …

Almost There

Almost There
Yup. I can see it. I can feel it. I can almost taste it. Summer. Ahhhh. Right. Around. The. Corner. While I typically detest summer weather (unless I'm laying out in the sun in a tropical island somewhere about 12 hours away from here), I really look forward to my much needed break from work. This ye…

Two years have passed...

Two years have passed...
and I still feel the loss of my forever loved, Ringo-dog. Two years ago today, I lost my most faithful friend. I actually debated on whether or not I should make this post. After getting so much crap from so many people over my feeling sad still even after two years of his passing, I thought I would…

She dreamed of paradise.

She dreamed of paradise.
{image via} Life puts us in some difficult situations, huh? Sometimes the things we want most are nearly impossible to have. We can make plans and get all excited about them and then, when you least expect it, it's all gone. And then it's time to make new  plans. I guess in a way, it's go…

Summer Bucket List

Summer Bucket List
I've been seeing a lot of blogs lately writing about summer plans or better yet, "summer bucket lists". Being that I am going to be OFF this whole summer (CAN'T WAIT) - no school, no work, no nothing ( Jesus!), I have been making a mental list of things I want to do this summer. So…

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day
"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my mother." -A. Lincoln I really do  owe my mom for the person I am today. If it weren't for my mom and her constant presence in my life, who knows where life would've taken me. It was my mom who taught me the right from the wrong, taught me m…

It feels good to get away...

even if for just one day. I don't want to complain about my life because overall, it's pretty damn good, not gonna lie. But it does get overwhelming. School. Work. Photography. Home. I feel like sometimes I try to do so much in such little time. I've always been a dreamer and a hard wor…

Oh, Painful Saturdays

Oh, Painful Saturdays
Today is painful . Literally. I have been having a lot of back pain lately, even more than the usual. Yesterday I was at work and on the verge on tears. Today, I'm home and again, I feel like I want to cry. I guess I should follow everyone's  advice and just take myself to the doctor finally.…

Three Years

Like I mentioned yesterday, today marks three years since I created Ma Vie Cherie - my personal blog about my darling life (hence, the name) ;) Looking back at the posts (which honestly takes me forever), I see that yes, life has definitely taken me on a ride in my late 20's. I have been throug…
