My life's song //

Anyone that knows me well knows that I have this crazy love for Frank Sinatra; his voice is absolute perfection and resonates with my soul <3 I have always said that whenever I got married, I wanted strictly Frank Sinatra music playing at the reception.  Well, this morning I started playing a Fra…

Days like today.

{via} I hate days like today. Days where I wake up with the heavy feeling on my shoulders that right away lets me know that today just isn't my day. Days where you wish you could stay in bed. By yourself. Well, maybe with your cats. But you just want to shut yourself off from the real world. Fro…

How My 20s Changed Me

It's already been months since I turned the ever so dreaded "30". But I accepted what I thought would be the worst age and can honestly say that my 30s came with so many good things. In a way, it felt like I turned 30 and that with the snap of fingers, everything kind of just fell int…

#wildflowersunscripted {90s story setting}

Having been born in the 80s technically makes me an "80s baby". However, I barely remember the 80s nor do I really  relate to that decade in which I lived for the first seven years of my life. People that know me well know that I have a very bad memory -- like scary bad. I barely remember m…

#wildflowersunscripted {past relationships}

I think every single encounter we come across has a purpose. Last night in yoga class, the instructor mentioned that even the people that get under our skin have a purpose in our lives - they may be there to teach us patience and honestly... I loved that. When you really think about it, every single…

#wildflowersunscripted {about me}

A careless lover yet very cautious. Ambitious yet a procrastinator.  Organized yet all over the place.  Yes, that's me. A human oxymoron.  Adventurous yet a lover of plans.  Humble yet high maintenance.  Grounded yet obsessed with many things.  Yes, that's me. A human oxymoron.  Animal lover yet no…

#wildflowersunscripted

In doing my usual stalking browsing through new blogs, I came across this February writing challenge and since I have been meaning to really get back into documenting my life on this blog, I thought I would go ahead and challenge myself to this. Obviously, I am late to actually do all of these when…

First of all, I wish everyone a great start to 2014. <3  For me, what should have been the best couple of weeks of the year turned out to be probably the most difficult. My mom was admitted to the hospital and is currently in ICU getting better, little by little, thanks to God's blessings…

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!

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

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

{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

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...

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.

{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

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

"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…
