“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” - Eleanor Roosevelt

This is the content of the book in a nutshell:
The Three Powerful Secrets Behind All Successes in Life:
1. Desire
2. Belief
3. Action

The 4 Signs of a Soul Dream
1. The Dream Is Connected to Your Most Important Values
2. The Dream Must Bring You Closer to God
3. The Dream Must Be Connected to Your Life Purpose and Core Gifts
4. The Dream Must Make You Happy in the Deepest Way Possible

How will you know your life purpose?
- Examine Your Roots
- Ask yourself two simple questions:
1. Passion: What do you enjoy doing?
2. Potential: And what do you do well?

For my personal reflection, I enjoy doing art and I do well in coming up with witty one-liners, in short expressing myself in words. And maybe, I'm on the right track (baby I was born this way??) in having a career in the field of Advertising Arts.
The values I hold on to are appreciating beauty, the truth and the joy of doing good. And at some point, I feel that it is also God's plan for me - I would not have thought about this on my own, He let other people influence me in terms of choosing what course to take up and open doors for me in trusting me to put into actual work setting; more than earning money, it is about recognizing your self-worth, living with a purpose.

It reminded me of what they taught us during my senior retreat, 'Kronos and Kairos' (our time and God's time) We have our own interpretation of our success in life; but while working on that, we should always remember that we also need to work on our place in heaven someday. It is an everyday challenge on how to live each day to its fullest.

http://thoughtcatalog.com/2012/i-want-a-friday-kind-of-love/# Fridays are full of possibility. Anything could happen. Sure, the weekend could be a letdown, it could turn out to be just another endless series ... The People You Will Fall In Love With In Your 20s | Thought Catalog Just sharing this blog post. And for the record, I'm part of the NBSB community (No Boyfriend Since Birth) - a product of the practicality of finishing College first and the happy-ever-afters of Disney and the romance novels and Classic Pinoy Teleseryes... And a huge part of it is, being uncertain of my maturity level to take care of one-on-one relationships, place somebody else's needs above my own. As a hopeless romantic with a childlike disposition, I truly believe in the last paragraph of this post, that although we encounter different people everyday, but I know someday, it will be clear that someone out there is truly meant for us, aka The One. Lucky for those who have found it earlier, ...

Jetsetter Fashion (in the Movies)

More than a good plot, what I enjoy about movies, are the characters who look their part. And since I am still 'jet-lagged' on the lovely dresses I've seen yesterday in the chick flicks: Eat, Pray, Love and Monte Carlo; I have dedicated my energies into assembling looks on Polyvore and writing about dressing up on travel by taking cues from Liz Gilbert & Meg Kelly. I find it really nice that her wardrobe adapts to the setting, you can distinguish one country from another, it's like showing how Liz has immersed herself to each culture. Among the three lead actresses in Monte Carlo, I would see myself wearing pieces from Leighton's character. She is the most practical, staying true to travelling light and looking great on the camera, without having to sacrifice comfort. And my favorite piece of advice when it comes to dressing up for yourself is to add your own unique sense of style. So the equation to sum this post up is Culture + Comfort + Creativity = J...

Hot and Cold Tagaytay

We had a spontaneous trip to Tagaytay to maximize the long weekend and escape Manila Heat. It was only planned the night before. Our first stop was at the Pagcor Casino, the good news is I just turned 22 (no entrance for minors 21 years old and below) but there were no cameras allowed. But that wasn't the kind of fun that my cousins and I had in mind. So we then took our merienda and headed off to Taal Vista and there was outdoor arcade overlooking the Taal Volcano, it was way cheaper and was all good clean fun. We had dinner at Summit Ridge, complete with grocery stores, tiangges and restaurants so you won't miss Manila that much. We stayed for the night at Character Hotel, TICC , it boasts its olympic-sized swimming pool, but since we weren't that masochistic to have a night swimming considering the cool temperature at night so we planned to take a dip after the Easter mass the morning after. On our way home, we stopped over at Nuvali for lunch and take a look at the e...
