 Halloween here in the Philippines is not like the Halloween in the Western countries. Although it’s a big holiday (comparable to Christmas here), we celebrate it in a different manner. Halloween in the Philippines lasts from the eve of October 31 (or even before this day) to November 2. Due to our strong Catholic background, Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 are spent remembering our dead loved ones and these dates will usually find most of us in one place only: the cemetery or the memorial park. We don’t celebrate it with pumpkins or trick-or-treats (although this Western tradition is sometimes practiced in some families / subdivisions here). We celebrate it through candles, flowers, prayers and a visit to the cemetery. You might think we have a very boring Halloween here. I mean, cemeteries, graves, prayers, etc. make it look like a serious affair. Not so. Spending Halloween in the cemeteries is a fun event. It’s like a mini-reunion for families and friends alike, a chance to have fellowship ...

Last night was a celebration for the one who chose to be free-welcome back to single hood my friend:)... timely it's been months since the last time I get sober. The original plan is to get sober over love at Tabo Bar but sadly it was reserved for a private party so we end up at Central Makati. I been into this place and never failed to impressed me. I love the place and the crowd. From all ages and different walks of life come together for the love of booze! Good thing the owner of the bar is a friend of a friend so we are able to secure a table..no waiting in vain and bonus for the night I meet new friends:)   (Top from guess, pants from Topshop, bag from landmark and gladiator shoes from Charles and Keith) “Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy.” I do hope everyone was able to have a little R&R with your weekends to  help you face Monday fresh-faced and on the top of your game. Life is good!

Well Monday is here again. While this of course means the weekend is over, it also means a new week of unlimited potential lies ahead and I do hope this ideas will help you have a happy, productive and meaningful week:)  picture via google To Change or Not to Change? I believe we absolutely can change, if we really want to. The key is in deciding what it is about yourself that you want to change, and then stopping first to consider why. I would never again want to change to make another person happy. I actually believe it's impossible to make anyone else happy. We can each only make ourselves happy. So changing in order to make someone happy is inevitably going to be frustrating and, likely, ineffective. But changing because you want to make yourself happier, that to me is a worthy reason to change. And, really, the only worthwhile reason. Life is good!  -have a great week-

We are human because sometimes we feel like outcasts or weirdos, but that is just something that makes  us  unique. Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and that some days you are the statue. People might raise eyebrows and even make fun, but as long as you can shrug and say "Hey, that's just me" and leave it at that, people will ultimately respect you for it, and you'll respect yourself. I came across with this wonderful  pictures and inspirational thoughts from tumblr that I feel empowered, inspired and I thought of sharing.   Life is Good!

Goodbye, September thank you for being so good and hello October! Happy new month!  so I started my new month attending a baptism of my old friend little angel Nathan. I love attending baptism for it shows parents intention to raise their little angel to know, love and serve God. (I'm wearing: Blazer from Zara,top from Forever 21, Jeans from topshop and shoes from Schu) when life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile  wishing everyone to have a good month! Life is good!
