It's been a while since I last posted more so an annual post of some sort. Here's quite a year-ender review. Photo-packed. Puro ako (duh.). And quite long. But I do appreciate if you clicked the link and is gonna finish reading this. It only means you're part of my 2016, so thank YOU. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My 2016 word would have to be... <b><u>Adventure.</u></b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes. Of all sorts. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2015 was... I don’t kow how to describe it, but sort of pivotal, no matter how heartbreaking it was. Because if 2015 never happened, 2016 wouldn’t be as awesome as it is now. O diba.. High five guys! I haven’t seen myself saying these things 20 months ago HAHAHAHAHAHA! Now I can say I am finally moving forward. Way to go, self!! I am so proud of you. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Early this year, I told myself to go on an adventure <u>at least once a month</u>. Achievement unlocked. My 2015 was so stale HAHAHA! I crippled and pinned myself to my bed most of the time, that or I overwork, thank you EMBER!!! Alam niyo na, I had too much drama that year. But 2016, I decided to MOVE albeit sloooowlyyyyy. May drama pa rin. Baduy if wala hahaha (excuses). And 12 months back, I never expected I’d be so eager to write something like this on my blog. Btw, this is gonna be sort of a finale post. After 10 years with this blogspot, I decided to try a new platform. Dami memories nitong blog na to, ayokong burahin because they're all part of me. Go reminisce and back read 'cos hanggang diyan na lang yang mga yan. But transporting every GOOD memory and moral with me on my way forward and up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>12 provinces. Three mountains. Seven countries. And a lot of in-betweens. My most adventurous year YET. </b></div>

To start the year with a climb. I want it to be metaphorical. That my year would have roadblocks and ups along the way, and if I managed to overcome a mountain, I would also do so with what life was yet to offer in 2016. Thanks to some friends for doing it with me. We traversed a mountain in Batangas. I learned that I can be a weakling. I almost fainted at the first 20 minutes of the trek. Slept for barely two hours, I remember going home late from work. But I also learned that it takes determination to finish the race. And yes I did reach the summit and traverse the mountain. Little did I know that that point which I tried to overcome what I thought was my limitation lead me to more adventures the coming months. Oh the agony of my first half of 2016! I felt like 2015 was pulling me back. But just like how I traversed this mountain, look at me now at the end of this year. Apir!</div>

Climbed another mountain and camped in a valley. After more than a year, it felt so good to just bring yourself with some basic needs. No signal on where we camped so we were forced to talk to each other and fall asleep early. On this climb I realized that I am stronger *cue* <i>cos you made me stronger by breaking my hearttttt~</i>! Or or <i>but now I'm stronger than yesterdaayayyyy!!</i>~ Okayyy hahaha! But yeah I mean physically kasiiii. Feeling ko lang naman. It was mostly assaults but I didn’t get tired easily. And then I realized an improvement on my EQ (NAKS!). And no matter how difficult the ups are, the view from the top is worth it – actually, the view doesn’t matter, it is the feeling that you made it. </div>

Went home to our province Isabela, to realize the treasure I have there – my lovely relatives. It was a month of losses. A relative and a close friend had their last day on earth. We tend to overlook people we are surrounded with. Must not be the case. Life is short. You must say hi and take the opportunity to catch-up, to express your ~love~ whenever you get the chance. March taught me that there would be questions and mysteries left unanswered. Only someday can.</div>

Fun and memorable chaperoning summer trip to beautiful Iloilo and Guimaras. I learned that I am capable of shifting my introvert self to a mild introvert tendency -- I can be friendly! And oh, I can be as decisive as throwing myself off a cliff to the water less "scared" now. </div>

My first solo trip ever and in Taiwan! A highlight of my 2016. This was when I realized how much courage I have and how much I can still exert. I motorbiked and trekked to satisfy my craving to see some nature. I sent my prayers through a sky lantern. I overcame my weakness on directions!! Boy I failed at one point I took a cab back to my hostel hahaha! I learned to put the blame on myself but taking it lightly and laughing at it. It was a trip that I can call my very own. I enjoyed being with no other than myself. And then I decided that this is gonna happen more often moving forward. A barrier was taken down; it gave me a much better and optimistic view.<br />

It was also a trip back to nature, to the same place last February. You can go back to a place and create new memories. I learned that indeed, you never climb the same mountain twice. Because the memories rebuild it, and each particle surrounding you and the stories and burdens and raves that you brought with you recreate the experience.</div>

Trip to my lovely province, Bohol, to celebrate my Lola's 90th birthday. Another reason to be thankful is having all these relatives I am surrounded with. I get to appreciate my province again and bring and tour around some Team Reyes (mother's side) relatives. June and Bohol reminded me that you can have the same photo on the same spot more than once -- but it's when you realize where you better stand. In my case, I took the photo on the same spot I had taken a photo in 2015 (crap maybe in 2010 and 2012, etc.), but heyyyyyy I am in a much better "pose" this 2016.</div>

First solo trip locally and in Mindanao. Butuan and Surigao del Sur. PHILIPPINES, you are SO BEAUTIFUL. There is so much more about the known Philippine islands. One just needs to explore. I learned to trust more but without giving much of myself away. To just let things be at times. To trust the kindness in people. I learned that no matter how long the ride is, I rode a habal-habal for 40 FRIGGIN' KILOMETERS and back and forth (!!!), there is an end to it -- a beautiful destination, an enchanting one maybe? And maybe even more!!! It's then I knew that I am alive and meant to see the beauty of this world! July taught me to enjoy myself, to be with me, to connect the Merie before and after, and that link in between is what makes her stronger and better and wiser and braver.</div>

Sometime in transition from July to August, I went to Virac, Catanduanes. It's the most eastern part of the Philippines - the one that usually welcomes the howling winds when there's a typhoon on this tropical country. I learned to literally and figuratively face the upcoming storm - to address issues. Because it's also the same time I have to let go of opportunities as I had let previous opportunities pass me by. It was a bitter-sweet feeling of learning and letting go. I have never known of a storm that got stranded in the Philippines forever. So SHUT THE eff UP storms, you are just passing by. But hey we learn from it.</div>

As I had an introductory scuba diving in Anilao, I also learned to say that I CAN to things that I long said I CAN'T and I WON'T. Sometimes you just have to eat up some words and learn that it won't hurt your tummy of an ego at all. In fact, it turned out to be something tasty and interesting. </div>

Went back to Rizal for some nature trip again. It won't hurt to open your fences again with some company. And you enjoy the least expected moments and people. There's a part in Masungi that I believe is quite challenging, the one that you get down and cross to the other side through a rope. If I'm not mistaken, it's better that you brave cross it than turn back. In life, just go on.. and on and on... Rewards are waiting somewhere. </div>

Oh San Pablo Laguna and its seven lakes amused my October. But it was a good kind of fun. This trip told me that it's not about the mistakes, and detours and wrong turns. It's about how you view those moments and take out something of/from it. And to not repeat the same mistakes over and over and over and oveeeerrrrr again.</div>

I also went to Singapore and Indonesia simply to relax and do some last of my side hustling. Take time to pamper yourself, you deserve it. Singapore pulled a string in me. It has that connection. But we all know that not all connections are meant to last forever. I realized that some broken things are meant to be broken. I officially said to myself it's over. Cut the string, and it won't pull something in me anymore.<br />

HIGHLIGHT of my 2016. Most spontaneous trip ever as a birthday treat to myself. Ho Chi Minh - Bagan - Yangon - Bangkok - Kuala Lumpur. This trip gave me the signal of a new beginning. I have seen the most beautiful sunrise ever! Of hope. Of trust. Of FAITH. And I started to truly niche on what I want - of what really matters. Of letting go. Of breaking free. Of true joy. It's the trip that told me <b><i>"Way to go Merie, be excited! See this?? No, this is not the best, it's still out there for you to experience. Can you imagine how exciting that can be? Let go. Believe. Trust. Fall in love. Let your heart smile again. Let your thoughts spill out the imaginative juice you are well-capable of. Let your words inspire once more. Let your eyes window clean interiors. Let your hands create beautiful things. Let your feet wander more and touch lives. Vomit creativity. Let. Love. Flow."</i></b><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best adventure I ignored for the past 11 months -- Rest. Because it's needed. And trust me, there is also an adventure in resting -- it's when you know what you really are longing for and looking forward to.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can truly report that 2016 is my best year so far - regardless of the downs - it's about time to count the ups twice or thrice as much. I'm welcoming 2017 with a lesser load and more souvenirs to show off the world. I am excited. I firmly believe 2017 is my season. And even though ~adventure~ ain't my word for 2017, it won't make it less of an adventurous year. Thank you 2016, you were SO AWESOME, way beyond I imagined it to be. Get set 2017. I'm ready to make the world in awe of my testimony twelve months from now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All glory to God for my awesome 2016 and more awesome way way awesome 2017.</div>

Just recently I had my self-imposed “spring” cleaning and boy was I really surprised by literally heaps and heaps of clothing I own! Yes, I had my shopaholic days; I had my hoarding days because I LOVE CLOTHES. I love dressing up maybe because I grew up with my Mom buying me new clothes regularly. We used to own a tailoring shop and so I will have my Sunday dresses custom-made just because. I am a frustrated creative persona but a self-confessed wallflower; and one thing that I make sure is that in my manner of dressing up, these traits would be apparent. I realized how/what I feel inside manifests on how I dress which then translates to how I face the day, how I talk to people, how I perform my tasks. Do you also feel this way? Others may view dressing up as something just for a mere cover up; but dressing up is something that I don’t take too lightly, most especially as a corporate woman who has choosing the outfit part of my daily routine.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course there are busy days that planning my outfit is not something I must allocate a huge chunk of time. There are days that I hate the standard sizes in shops because my body type is on the super skinny side hence the struggle. There are days that I blankly stare on my closet and feel like I have nothing to wear. There are days that I imagine a certain piece, or maybe I remember some clothing piece online and yet I can't find it anywhere but I feel like the need to own it and wear it. This is one simple task I overcome every single day and when I pick and finally put on the right outfit it feels so good that I feel like I can overcome the world! I feel like I can check all of my to-do lists for the day. I feel more confident and vibrant. I feel more human! Hahaha! Might be funny but trueeee! I realized that my manner of dressing up is my way of connecting to the world, it's my outlet and it's helping.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
And in this process of healing, one article on nature, on ecosystem moved me. If a nature can heal itself, by "killing", then this pain I am feeling is necessary and vital. The barren valley grew and bloomed because there was an important change that was introduced. Other species arose contributing to a whole lot better ecosystem. If the Man up there who knew right from the start the roles of this creatures in the big big cycle, caused the cause and effect of nature; then I, who's dearly loved by that Man, must embrace this process of healing I am still going through -- all these pruning and cutting. And the beautiful transformation, did it happen overnight? No. It even took decades. No hurrying. Better things will arrive. Best days ahead. And someday all of these will make a lot of sense in the greater scheme of things.</div>

“And the secret garden bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“She made herself stronger by fighting with the wind.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"So long as Mistress Mary's mind was full of disagreeable thoughts...she was a yellow-faced, sickly, bored and wretched child...When her mind gradually filled itself with robins...with springtime and with secret gardens coming alive day by day, and also with a moor boy and his "creatures," there was no room left for the disagreeable thoughts...[and so she became well and happy]."</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a child, I liked reading <b>The Secret Garden</b>, and enjoyed watching its Tagalized version of <i>“Si Mary at ang Lihim na Hardin”</i> (raise your hands those who can relate to me!) It’s been more than a year since I last released a collection. In between then and now, a lot has influenced the creation of such. Set to be released spring of early this year, cancellations deterred it. But I trust the universe swayed circumstances to this point in time. I don’t think this collection will be as sweeter if not because of the events that caused the delay.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Secret Garden has little to do with the visuals of the collection, but the journey towards it. Felt like I have discovered a personal secret garden and tended it from the time of my last released collection up until now. Still looking forward to its fullest bloom, a desire for a constant connection and help in the characters of new people, Dickon, Martha, Susan and Ben – it is a journey towards progress. The journey of Mary Lennox is also my journey – journey of rediscovery. From being sickly, foul-tempered, unsightly, she tends to the secret garden, she got engrossed by it and helped to her “miraculous” restoration – no longer bitter and friendless. A journey of more self-discovery, away from my “sickly and bitter” self as well. Changed from glory to glory. The secret garden is shared, passing on the miraculous restoration – to Colin then to Mr Archibald Craven. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This collection is a creation of a discovered self. The pieces are not loudly visually secret garden but the ruffles, the patterns, the appliques are slight touches of it. The pink color is mainly due to the color of my personal copy of the novel. The grey and the black is an emphasis of a not-so-friendly past which must not hinder a positive outlook, represented by the minor floral patterns and appliques. Hoping that I may pass along through this collection “the miraculous restoration”, may this collection be a source of inspiration. On to our fullest bloom.<br />

Also sharing more quotes from the novel:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done--then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Where you tend a rose my lad, a thistle cannot grow.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Of course there must be lots of Magic in the world," he said wisely one day, "but people don't know what it is like or how to make it. Perhaps the beginning is just to say nice things are going to happen until you make them happen. I am going to try and experiment.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Much more surprising things can happen to anyone who, when a disagreeable or discouraged thought comes into his mind, just has the sense to remember in time and push it out by putting in an agreeable, determinedly courageous one. Two things cannot be in one place.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I am sure there is Magic in everything, only we have not sense enough to get hold of it and make it do things for us”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Sometimes since I've been in the garden I've looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast. Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing. Everything is made out of magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden - in all the places.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“One of the new things people began to find out in the last century was that thoughts--just mere thoughts--are as powerful as electric batteries--as good for one as sunlight is, or as bad for one as poison. To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got in you may never get over it as long as you live.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“At that moment a very good thing was happening to her. Four good things had happened to her, in fact, since she came to Misselthwaite Manor. She had felt as if she had understood a robin and that he had understood her; she had run in the wind until her blood had grown warm; she had been healthily hungry for the first time in her life; and she had found out what it was to be sorry for someone.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“He had made himself believe that he was going to get well, which was really more than half the battle.”</blockquote>

Hello from Catanduanes! The island is quiet on a Sunday at 10PM. I like how simple and peaceful the life here is. Hayyy. The more I visit provinces, the more I want to settle in some province than in Manila. I like the people here, in provinces. And with solo traveling, I love the feeling that no one knows you. But the point of this post has nothing to do with my stay here. Haha! Just to segue, I had one decision to make, I prayed for it and this trip which was booked months ago incidentally paved way to my personal sabbath and make a decision.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

When God answers... I've been praying for a lot of things lately -- a lot of audacious things actually. And know what? I feel like I've been getting a lot of "No's" (well I wouldn't know if it's a "not yet" yet). Those times that I linger on the thought, I can't help but feel sad. I know I would <b>surely</b> get your empathy as soon as you get to know what I feel like these "missed" opportunities were (I said "what I feel" because certainly God knows best and may actually mean it's not an opportunity for me!)... But you know, God answers in amazing ways. So for those times when I've been praying for the answer, and I felt like I got a NO, I then started praying for the "why's". And funny how God answered.</div>

<b>"Count your blessings..."</b><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my last birthday in FactSet (2012), my team compiled words of encouragement from the whole department -- from my trainees, workmates, etc. They told me that in times I feel discouraged, I just need to pick a piece of paper from this "treasure box". What I did was to read them all at once as soon as I got it. Until it occurred to me just a few days back to use it for its purpose. Yes, that photo above is the one that I first picked. And then I started crying in prayer to God. I know it was God talking to me through that piece if paper.</div>

Back in June, I applied for a scholarship in a fashion school somewhere in Europe. Lakas ng loob ko hahaha! I just gave it a shot, even though at the back of my mind it's a really loooonnggg one. I submitted requirements, drafted my motivation letter a no. of times just to get their attention, answered the interview the best that I can, and prayed really hard. I told no one, not even my parents. I cryptically told Twitter though HAHAHA! Just a few hours before my trip to Catanduanes, I got a mail from them telling me that I got a scholarship, it's for a one year intensive fashion design course by the way. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I'm writing this post. I have already made up my mind. I realized that when God answers, He has his unique ways of making you understand His direction. Not all the time that He would give you a loud YES nor an obvious NO -- there would be times that He would make you realize, to decipher. We have the mind of Christ after all (1 Corinthians 2:16). So the email that I got? It's <b>an</b> answer, but it's not <i>the</i> answer.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sorry for being so vague about my heart's desires, my prayers, my decision. I know someday I will be sharing it here to maybe inspire others but for now I want to keep it to myself. But I'm really grateful, life is surprisingly good, despite the seemingly mountains of problems I have (mukha lang wala pero meron meron meron!!!)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I drafted this post before I got an email regarding my scholarship application. I initially would post just on the picked up pieces of paper from the treasure box but God just sent another answer before I'm about to post this.</div>
<br />
So to those who wrote those two way back in 2012, thank you!!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
At this very moment I'm writing, I am here in Butuan, alone. This is "officially" my second solo trip, my first locally. Why do I do it? On the surface, I simply want to wander and escape Manila. I want out of my "everydayness". On a much in-depth note, I want to know my capabilities, of my strengths, and to abate my weaknesses. I want to discover more of me. Apparently my nearing three decades of lifetime seems foreign to myself. And I thought I already know "Merie". No, there is so much beyond her unearthed. She has attached herself to a lot of things, and as soon as they're gone a piece of her went with them. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want to have an attachment to myself. That nothing can tear my identity apart. NOTHING.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It may sound selfish, but I guess I have been selfless enough -- in both positive and negative of ways.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And an attachment to the Someone within me. That my focus may be retuned to him. Nothing else above. I want to hear him loud and clear. I want him to direct my path. I want his signs and miracles. Because my identity is in him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And I will keep traveling solo, until I visit all 81 provinces and until I set my feet on all continents. Until myself is no longer sufficient to discover myself. Until there is nothing left to discover.</div>
</div>

Tonight I write to forget. Tonight I choose to jot down my thoughts sincerely praying for a renewed phase, for a new chapter I was so eager to leaf to. I choose tonight better than new year's eve when Easter eggs remind me to break free, to breakthrough; and as I'm reminded that Christ has overcome death, the death for my sins and shame, to finally forgive myself. I pray that as I burnt in writing the overwhelmingly negative retentiveness I had for the past year, I would bring forward with me the wisdom of the constant changes that occurred. I pray for the Spirit's light on my path as I face the expanse ahead of me. I pray for full resumption. I pray for restoration. I pray for Your loving will. Amen. Happy Easter!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: start;"><br></div><p style="text-align: start; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 5px 0px 10px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: none; line-height: 21px; width: auto; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come." -2 Corinthians 5:17</span></p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not really in a pensive mood but more of inspired as I heard the Word of God in today's service. I can't help but share in my little way of how I am blessed. My heart was deeply touched I found myself keeping my tears from falling while listening to the pastor sharing the Word. Quite a number of people have been worried about me lately and I appreciate them for that. Yes, I am in struggle and in that struggling I discovered that I am actually carrying some unnecessary burden hence struggling for as long as I can remember, not just the recent months. How I treated it just bore me deeper into a hole and now it feels harder to get back up on the ground. I am a flawed being hiding in my fab, fashionable, well-coordinated or whatever you may call it ootd's. I am someone who is really lost and confused and not any travel destination can offset it. My constant increase in pay and profit from the sideline cannot compensate for what is really lacking in me. I felt like everything is just not enough. I felt entitled and I felt deserving of every damn good thing I could see. And so I fell apart and I am broken into pieces. Right now I am trying my best to refocus and find myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I bought this book titled "Gotta Have It!" (by Dr. Gregory L. Jantz) almost a year ago and if only I have read it earlier or right away, I can't help but think that maybe things would have not ended this way today. But well, life happened. I have a confession to make. I'm a hypocrite. I keep on saying thank You, talk and post about gratefulness but deep inside I have always been <i>badly</i> craving for more more more, wanting everything, just a bit of everything, because maybe I wasn't really being thankful, because if I was grateful, there should be contentment. Far from it people, that's how hypocrite I am. Deep inside of me I wasn't really contented. I lost myself in this awful path process I chose. And now that I'm trying my way back to the main road, it has been arduous -- really really difficult one. It's the result of my past hard-to-admit not-so-good choices. I have shifted my security to the things and people around me, which is WRONG. I chose to find comfort on the things that I wanted and did not resort to mending things and or figuring out what I truly need. I was so hard-headed, impatient, immature and so earthly. And now let me use the phrases <i>I am suffering the consequences</i> and <i>I am learning the hard way</i>. Whew, there goes my ego! But I need to accept these stinky things about me because it is through this that I will be really free. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I relearned in this really really tough process:<br />
<br />
1. <b>Be patient. Be patient with the Lord.</b> God's got me covered in the things that I need and so with those things that I just want, I need patience, be patient with those <i>excessities</i> or things that I just want. Psalm 37:7 (GNT) says "<i>Be patient and wait for the Lord to act;
don't be worried about those who prosper
or those who succeed in their evil plans</i>." Leave the choice to Him regardless of how you feel. In the course of just a year, I had a lot of those what-if's and if-only's only because I tolerated my hard-head, my emotions, my earthly desires and did not really rely on His timeframe. I was so impatient that I immediately wanted things to happen NOW in my own time. I actually disregarded my favorite Proverbs 3:5 verse. I learned that patience is not giving up and not doing nothing. Patience is an optimistic expectation. Patience is fueled by hope. As Romans 5:3-4 (NIV) states, "<i>Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.</i>" Right now that I am in this very stage of my life, I guess this is the biggest test of my patience so far. I'm now relearning to fully trust the One who is the orchestrator of my life. In His time.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Rid of envy. Don't be bitter. Each of one is unique and so as how are lives are designed.</b> Envy makes things worse. It's such an ugly ugly thing to have but for the past months it stayed with me. I cant't help compare myself, my successes, my life to what others have. I kept insulting Him of how He designed me and my life. I kept on questioning Him. Envy is such a strong feeling that won't make someone feel any good. I don't understand myself why I keep clinging to such revolting trait. I relearned to look inside of me and pray and discern of all the good things and the talents He has blessed me with and enhance on these, flourish from where I am planted. It's still hard because I am easily distracted, not to mention the harsh effects of social media. It also boils down to trusting Him and focusing on Him. <i>"But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice."</i> -James 3:14-16 (NIV)<br />
<br />
2. <b>Security and contentment is in our Lord. Seek Him always.</b> If we try to find security and contentment other than Him, it will always always fail. Trust me, I know how it feels finding security elsewhere and was I successful? Uhmmm NO. God gives and God takes things away. It is only in Him that I can find happiness, joy, fulfillment, satisfaction. The song Unending Love was sang by the worship team a while ago and it hit me so strong I felt like it was again my first time surrendering my life to Him (That's how flawed I am). The song says how I'll find everything I need in His unending love. If Jesus is in me, indeed how can I worry over other trivial things? How can I crave for anything that is less than Him, my everything, in me?<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">There's no silver or gold and no treasure untold that could draw me away from Your heart. Neither love of myself or of anyone else will do. Letting go of my pride I lay down my desires just to worship in Spirit and truth. More than all of my dreams, more than fame I will seek You Lord. Jesus, nothing compares to this grace that rescues me. Savior, now and forever Your face is all I seek. Now all I am I lay at Your feet I'm humbled by the wonder of Your majesty. One thing I know I find all I need In Your unending love, in Your unending love. Your love, Jesus. </span></i></blockquote>
<br />
I've made a big deal of awful decisions and acted wrongly on different situations. Covered in shadows and regrets, it took me one big blow to decide to straighten things out. At the end of the day it's all about bringing back my focus to Him. It's all about Him. I am not telling that I am done with the process that I am a fully changed person. No. Far from it. I just accepted these sad facts and flaws. I am now in the process of moving on and growing up all in God's grace. I am also thankful for that someone who made me realize these things. Thank You, Lord, and thank you for loving me this way. I'll come out of this better, and into that woman You designed me to be.<br />
<br />
<i>"Every time you are confronted with a choice between what you want to do and what you need to do, make the most of that chance. Choose wisely and move forward. If you take a step backward, learn from it and grow; use your head. Above all, keep going, keep progressing in your understanding of where to go to truly meet the need. [...] In the end, it really comes down to you and God, which is a very good thing when it comes to needs. In Matthew 6:8, Jesus reassures you that God's got you covered in that department; He already knows what you need even before you ask."</i><br />
<br />
I'll leave you this beautiful song.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a busy busy Saturday but I am not complaining. Last Saturday was so productive; it was a happy pill for me! The only thing that irritated me that day was the unwarranted SUMMER HEAT!! I believe the temperature that day rose up to 36.5 Celsius high! Thank God for air-conditioning!! As you may already know I AM NOT A FAN of SUMMER. One of the few good things for me that I love about summer is I am free to wear “lighter” and shorter clothes without being much bothered by the rain or the cold. It’s one season to give those layers a rest and simply put on a dress. My outfit last Saturday may not be a dress but it’s a perfect example on how someone should dress lightly! Haha! I am wearing a comfy printed sheer top from <a href="http://facebook.com/missmerieonline" target="_blank">Miss Merie</a>. It’s actually my lazy outfit, top and shorts, most especially these HOT summer days. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another go-to outfit not just on summer is dresses! It’s so easy to just slip in a dress then off I go! I always enjoy creating and shopping for dresses. I frequently visit <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/shop?query=dresses&.search_src=masthead_search" target="_blank">Polyvore</a> as the choices on this site seem endless! But of course, it's more of a window-shopping online. Just last Saturday I was doing my rounds of gathering inspiration for my designs, and I chanced upon <a href="http://marketplace.zalora.com.ph/women/clothing/dresses/" target="_blank">these pretty nice dresses</a> and it actually caters locally!! I almost shopped!! I had to stop before I click on the proceed to payment button. Anyways, let me end it here before this crazy heat completely drain my energy as I have some dresses to make for my clients as well. :) </div>

Bambaaaaaa Bamba Bistro! Sister's birthday sumptuous dinner was at Bamba Bistro, guess where?? Still along Aguirre Avenue in BF Homes! I chanced upon this on one of Patty Laurel's blog posts. I have to agree with her positive review of the place and the menu. It was a Tuesday evening and still the place was packed! It is not big enough. We were already seated outside the reason why I don't have much photos of the place. One downside is the serving time which took about at least thirty minutes for a meal to be served. Hence, this might be a good venue for catching up, plenty of time haha! What we ordered that night was worth the wait and their prices.</div>

Family dessert night at Milky Moustache still along Aguirre Ave in BF Homes! I can still picture it as a "white" and neat place with a touch of sweetness. From outside the white interiors will catch attention, milky indeed. Unless packed with people, I see the place as somewhere I could find myself busy with a book or a magazine. There is also a hint of coziness in it, their chairs are comfy with high backs. It's also interesting to look at the quotes chalked in the framed blackboards on the wall. That night we ordered their English Moustache (cookies and cream), Mario (Kitkat) and Batwing (coffee) milkshakes. Obviously mine was the coffee one and I liked it! Just the right mix of coffee and milkshake. Didn't like much their Mario and their English Moustache was too sweet. I would like to be back to try their other flavors and their bestseller which was not available that evening. Prices are a tad expensive, ranging from Php150-180, if I recall it right on their milkshakes.</div>

It's two months overdue but my one and only thus the best sister's birthday is worth a space here in my personal nook online! I couldn't ask for any better person to be my sister other than Queza. A very down-to-earth, nice, hardworking, responsible, wise and bright, basta napakabait at napakabuting tao my sister is! It's funny looking back on those two decades and so on how we grew up and now we are both trying to get past through our "adult problems"! Hahaha! Parang kailan lang when she was one cutie patootie grey-eyed bald baby girl and now she's grown to be the best in bullying me! My only prayer is for her to grow even more, to be the best woman God intended her to be. I know she will. </div>

On the second of February, as part of sorta early celebration, we dined in at Mama Lou's in BF Homes. Mama has been wanting to eat there and so we did that night. Oh how it satisfied our tummies! Mama Lou's has been consistently meeting my expectations so far. I understand why it does not run out customers. :) We also had our dessert at Milky Moustache after which I would also be posting about next. </div>

Finally, naks a post on my blog's aficionado series featuring a cafe abroad! Hahaha! Throwback to November of last year when I was in SG, I made sure to drop by Haji lane and try CAD Cafe. Sure it is, now I am writing about it! Haha! This cafe won't go unnoticed with its bright blue exterior and graffiti paintings. The place is a tiny one with about two to three tables inside and some stools. But true to the meaning of CAD (Coffee Art and Design), how little the place may be, it showcases local and international artworks. No, my photos won't do justice with what I am saying haha! There were artworks displayed on every wall of CAD cafe. </div>

They serve all-breakfast menu and sandwiches. We tried their Grilled Cheese Toasties and it was good! E wala e ma-cheese e so instant like for me! And since it was really hot that day we tried their iced coffee drinks (Ice Latte and Ice Mocha). Their coffee are made of the same coffee beans Toby's Estate use and nothing "CAD-specialty". </div>

For someone from another country like me, I found their menu pricey hahaha! But should I be living in Singapore, this would qualify for a go-to place. =) There's a whole lot of coffee shops in Singapore but CAD Cafe is worth a visit and a try. </div>

Me-time is priceless to me and I usually spend them with a book. Mary Grace is one of my favorite spots for having my lone time and I usually order their carbonara. But just recently I decided to try their cheese roll and their cappuccino with muscovado and chocolate drink combo. Oh the grilled cheese rolls is a new favorite and their drink did not disappoint. I like it better than their signature hot chocolate. This pair might also be a new staple to my alone-time in Mary Grace but I should try their other drinks as well.

It’s all because of "<i>girlfriend duties</i>" that I had the chance
to sip on Wildflour’s Vietnamese latte. Wildflour Salcedo has just recently
opened and it’s nearby Luke’s basketball tournament venue. While waiting for
his basketball game to start and while he was warming up, wanted to have a cup of Flat White from Toby’s but decided to try some coffee from
Wildflour which I haven’t done even when I was still working in BGC. It was a
good decision and their Vietnamese latte actually suited my taste buds' liking. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">=)</span></span> It would have been
better if I coupled it with some of their known pastry or something from their
delectable menu. Maybe next time. </div>

This was not part of my initial list but it would still fall under my aficionado finds. Paume’s Pastry House is located along Presidents Avenue still in BF Paranaque (oh don’t you just love the south?? Haha!) Together with my family, we had our caffeine and pastry fix that night after my sister's birthday dinner at Bamba Bistro. It was upon my friend’s recommendation that we knew about this place -- it was one good endorsement; it did not upset! </div>

Bright and a Parisian-inspired interiors greeted us. The vibe was very
open and welcoming. There were few tables and seats but the place that
night was not fully packed. There is even a tiny nook for kids and
toddlers. Their menu is composed of pastas, rice meals too, pastries,
desserts; and drinks from juices to coffee brews and coffee-blended
ones.
I immediately spotted their pastry display, it’s right in front of the
door; and for a sweets-lover like me it’s automatically inviting.
However, I was not able to try any of their pastries that time. I also
spotted their coffee brew machines which actually is one reason why I
included Paume’s to my Aficionado list haha!

Each one of us had ordered a drink of some sort, some hot some cold, but
I was only to take note of my and Luke’s orders. Their Feel Good
Affogato is the best I have tasted so far. Their French Kiss Latte was
an instant favorite, too! The fact that we were well-served also added
to the fact that my family had an instant liking to the place. As my
friend who told me about this, I also highly recommend this place. Yay
more south finds!!

As mentioned, it was just like a passable month of February for Miss Merie. I had to decline prom clients (sayang =( I know) and some other clients, too, as the dressmakers are in full swing making two set of entourage dresses. Three of the above photos are clients, including moi, wearing Miss Merie pieces way back from our summer 2014 collection. The mother-and-daughter printed terno dresses are orders in January which just got handed last month. March started quite really good for this passion project of mine. The coming days look promising. =)</div>

Months went by quickly, days have been busy, though you moved to a new city, even to a new job, new company; now we see each other rarely, sorry na medyo clingy. For this note forgive me, trying hard to be witty, yet I end up being silly, I'll try to end this shortly. Anyway, grateful that we're happy, thank you for being beside me, I love you very dearly, happy happy fifty!! 50th❤️❤️ </div>

The last installment of this Baguio Weekend with My Girls series is dedicated to our weekend home away from home - Forest House! Getting this bed and breakfast for that weekend was the best decision we made as Orig4 EVER!! Hahaha! Of course it is an overstatement but this BnB is not. As mentioned in a prior Baguio trip post which was last year as well, after our tour around this cozy place, I knew I'd be back to try. So indeed! It felt like home! Nothing really fancy but the place lives up to its name. Sayang lang we did not get to try their fireplace para mas feel ang pagka-forest house vibe but nonetheless, the ambiance and the smell, too, gave that sort of woodlands feeling pero hindi naman eery. We felt like we have a whole house to ourselves since we stayed in the Yuri room, which was located in the basement. This room has access to the garden area so feel talaga namin isang buong bahay inupahan namin. If WIFI is your ultimate non-negotiable for a room, the rooms here have their own routers and internet surfing was super fast. The owner of the house was hands-on in designing the interiors, with a lot of personal touch and it's vividly shown on every corner of the place. Their service did not disappoint. We were well taken care of and well-attended. I know there are a lot of cheap places to stay in Baguio but shelling out some extra cash for this place will be worth it.</div>

That night we were supposed to go to the night market to try to score some ukay finds. Sadly, the rain heavily poured and as advised by the receptionist, due to the heavy downpour that there was no night market. So we just took this photo below when we were hoping that the rain would stop but did not, went back to our room, called for McDo delivery and pushed through watching MMK "Amalayer". Hahah! I can still remember!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The always-lacking month just ended and passed by like a breeze! March na and it starts to feel a lot like summer already – my not-so-favorite season. Anyway, February was a busy month at work, a passable month for Miss Merie, a fulfilling wander month (I reached another summit!!! And has some sweet staycation, too!), a month I was able to slowly catch-up with my blog backlogs and even had the chance to tweak my blog, can you spot the difference?? Okay, good, buti naman! Hahaha! I was also able to finish reading bookSSSS yes plural form!! Wuhooo! And even posted book comments! I had a fair dose of eat-outs, and celebrations – celebrated my sister’s birthday and hearts day with Luke and a separate one with my girls as well, this month. What a lovely February! Thank You, Lord!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Have hope </b>always, as my Suelas pair say. Somehow, kahit mainit, I am excited what March will bring me. Thrilling! As I was trying to reflect on my February, I started praying for a more rewarding and pleasing month. Not that my first two 2015 months were not, I just wanted this month to be more gratifying. I feel like my decisions lately are so heavy, that it will greatly impact my future. I was also feeling really hopeful for the coming months. I am feeling kind of excited and inspired, too.

Magnum Opus means "work of art". Naming it to a coffee shop automatically gives the notion that it is an artisanal one. This is another post on hopefully an endless series on my search for coffee shops and caffeinated drinks, locally and hopefully abroad (sarap pakinggan ng abroad!!) </div>

As I began searching for coffee places, most especially the third wave ones, I was so glad that one shop humbly sits here, down south. Yes, it's located in The Prime block in BF Homes Paranaque. Maraming salamat Aguirre avenue, you are a wonderful stretch of food and drinks discoveries. I did not have the chance to try it right away. It was only when a good friend from the north, had to visit my HQ and fit the dress I designed for her, that we both got the chance. We were like-minded on this as it's the same place we wanted to try bilang she came from the north and then she was currently in south that moment. We are so happy we did! It did not disappoint :) </div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">It's a tiny place with an al fresco area. Since the inside was crowded that time, and to give Arianne the chance to have a breathe of fresh south air hahaha, we stayed in the al fresco area. It was a good time to catch up. Medyo matagal din kaming hindi nagkita. When I am with Arianne, all of my travel and dining dreams resurface instantly! These are the common stuff (with Korean stuff as a bonus pa pala hahaha) that we normally chat about. We talked a lot on these matters and career, too. She's one person I thank God for -- we don't get to hang out always, and she has far closer and has the closest friends, but I know she is a friend of mine. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">Arianne ordered flat white and I tried their bestseller Belgian Heartbreaker. I SUPER LIKED their Belgian Heartbreaker. No wonder it's their bestseller. Their cheesecake tasted good, too! With coffee/coffee-blended drinks, I always want a good blend of sweet and bitterness, ayoko ng masyadong matapang at lalong ayokong masyadong matamis for coffee. I guess Belgian heartbreaker had a good mix of milk, coffee and dark belgian chocolate -- yes the dark belgian chocolate was melted and mixed to the coffee drink. Sarap talaga! I am yet to try other drinks and hope I could be back soon for a solo session with a book, maybe? This is indeed a must-try for the south people. :)</span></div>

It's another of those non-fiction reads that I enjoyed reading. I am no expert in any cognitive related books most especially topics but seems like I am inclined to reading such, hence, my comment is based on my limited view and knowledge. The book presents 99 short chapters of about two to three pages each for the different cognitive biases or thinking fallacies we commit on a day-to-day basis. Mostly presenting examples on money and investments and business-related decision-making, was also a factor that added to my liking of this book. The chapters were pretty simple with most allowing the readers to be involved by presenting cases or scenarios and questions and make the reader decide on some. Short explanations with different citations, and examples come after; with suggestions to avoid the "unclear" thinking, usually forming the conclusion. For someone who enjoys reading about cognitive topics but have limited time to indulge on the more extensive ones, this book serves as a nutshell.</div>

The book was an eye-opener but applying this kind of "clear" thinking would not be easy. Still, this again contributed to my amazement on how our mind works. </div>

Some quotes below:<br />
<br />
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<i>“If your only tool is a hammer, all your problems will be nails,” </i></blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<i>
“How do you curb envy? First, stop comparing yourself to others. Second, find your “circle of competence” and fill it on your own. Create a niche where you are the best. It doesn’t matter how small your area of mastery is. The main thing is that you are king of the castle.” </i></blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<i>
“Whether we like it or not, we are puppets of our emotions. We make complex decisions by consulting our feelings, not our thoughts. Against our best intentions, we substitute the question, “What do I think about this?” with “How do I feel about this?” So, smile! Your future depends on it.” </i></blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<i>
“historian Daniel J. Boorstin put it right: “The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance—it is the illusion of knowledge.” </i></blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<i>
“Assume that your worldview is not borne by the public. More than that: Do not assume that those who think differently are idiots. Before you distrust them, question your own assumptions.” </i></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>“It’s OK to be envious – but only of the person you aspire to become.”</i><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>“As paradoxical as it sounds: The best way to shield yourself from nasty surprises is to anticipate them.” </i></div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<i>
“We must learn to close doors. A business strategy is primarily a statement on what not to engage in. Adopt a life strategy similar to a corporate strategy: Write down what not to pursue in your life. In other words, make calculated decisions to disregard certain possibilities and when an option shows up, test it against your not-to-pursue list. It will not only keep you from trouble but also save you lots of thinking time. Think hard once and then just consult your list instead of having to make up your mind whenever a new door cracks open. Most doors are not worth entering, even when the handle seems to turn so effortlessly.” </i></blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<i>
“This is how top investor Warren Buffett does things: “Each deal we measure against the second-best deal that is available at any given time—even if it means doing more of what we are already doing.” </i></blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<i>
“Twain: “We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it—and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again—and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.” </i></blockquote>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"We are drunk on our own ideas. To sober up, take a step back every now and then and examine their quality in hindsight. Which of your ideas from the past ten years were truly outstanding? Exactly."
</i></blockquote>

Not exactly on the 14th of February but a day after, this is what I wore. Finally, I was able to wear my current chic purchase from Chic Curator (Instagram: @chiccurator), the green Marina necklace. Apart from scarves, necklaces are a favorite accessory, too. The dress is from Ensembles but designed by Vania Romoff. </div>

O-ha-o-ha!!! Hahaha! Blessed with a man who is still able to keep up with me! Let's admit it, most of the time, girls are the ones who make the relationships more complicated than it really seem, aminin na natin! 'Wag nang matigas ulo! And if we find a man who can keep up with our silly and shallow rants and pagtatampo and pagsosnob, at pagpapakipot, and you still feel that he did not love you any less, thank God for him!! I remember one time when we were asked to introduce ourselves with our name and our quality measurement in terms of the work we do, to a new batch of hires in that one company we previously worked for, Luke told of his personal quality instead, "sweet and understanding", and we all laughed! On a more serious note, those traits are true of Luke. He may not be the sweetest and the most understanding guy out there, but in compatibility with me, I'd like to believe that he is the best for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2014 was not that of an extreme ride. It's that year we started getting really comfortable with each other and seemed like we have already adjusted with who we really are, I guess?? It's also the year that we saw each other the least in terms of days as compared to the previous years!! I had to transfer to a new job down south and away from the "civilization" of Makati and Taguig, so it was not that easy for us to see each other after working hours as soon as we want to, because of our location, unlike before when we were just a 15-min cab ride away from each other's workplace. We valued our dates more and our dates comprise of major catching up! Dati kasi araw-araw pwede magcatch-up but the past year, we do it on weekends, our weekends with each other were so valuable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While our relationship was on the less extreme side, Luke's adjustment on his life generally was on the most extreme side -- he had to move out of Makati and yay he's now also living somewhere in the South and with his family; he had no choice but to move to another department at work and adjust accordingly, and a lot more. I, on the other hand had a year of pursuing my passion and got really busy on that aspect of my life. We had our own adjustments but we made sure that we were still there and supporting each other. I feel so thankful having him support me all the way. On the other hand, I am very proud of Luke's life decisions lately and his life is a testimony of answered prayers. There were things that we have been praying even before we went into our relationship, and the answers were granted after years. It didn't matter how long it took. Looking at our lives right now, we firmly believe in God's sovereignty. GRABE! IBA SI LORD TALAGA! And we continually pray for God's grace and shower of blessings upon us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a year of adventures as well!! This year is our most travelled year! <a href="http://merieisms.blogspot.com/2014/07/travel-tuesday-conquer-mt-pulag-2014.html" target="_blank">We climbed Luzon's highest peak</a>, we explored different islands and lakes, we went in museums, we went out to another country, we had food trips up north and everywhere! And I continuously pray for more more MORE this year! We still discover a lot with each other when we go out and travel. And I believe this is an essential part of every relationship, getting to know more despite the number of years and still longing to discover more about each other. Para hindi boring. =)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My prayer is for us to be stronger and more patient with the both of us, with life, with the people around us. I pray for us to be more open-minded and may the Spirit of the Lord always guide us in our decisions most especially now that we enter into the major life decision phase. I pray for us to inspire and to bless the people surrounding us. I pray for more love, trust and understanding. I pray that our relationship be an instrument for us to be the best version of ourselves. I pray that may God be the center of our relationship always.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This year's celebration took us to a not so faraway venue -- Tagaytay. E sa hindi kami nagpaplano ng selebrasyon ng anniv namin, we always end up being spontaneous on our special day. From Bataan to Baler to Zambales, sa Tagaytay pa rin bumagsak hahaha! Sabi nga niya, "ang mahalaga kasama mo ako". Hahaha! Kaya we told ourselves to plan our next anniversary already hahaha!</div>

Compare and contrast our photos now versus previous years, my boss amo now knows how to smile! Of which I am very very very happy about! Hindi na rin mahirap magpapicture! We went to the much talked-about Skyranch. Parang mga teenagers lang these days! We even rode the Tagaytay eye haha saka na ang pangarap niyang London Eye. Nakakatawa, sabi ni Luke, "Sa MOA ni hindi tayo sumakay, pumunta pa talaga tayo dito." Hahaha! Oo nga naman!</div>

And then he already gave me his gift. I joked him, engagement ring na ba laman ng box. Hahaha! I was purely kidding. But what's inside was also something really valuable, a symbol of time. Love it! I gave him a swingman NBA jersey (ang mahal pala neto?? HAHAHA!) and his "dream" branded polo shirt.</div>

I don't want to narrate how we ended up in Pamana instead of our much anticipated Antonio's Garden and after all our restaurant choices. Still, not bad for our anniversary. Sabi nga nya ulit, "ang mahalaga magkasama tayo." Hahaha e pwede naman pala sa bahay na lang namin. I kid of course.</div>

We left The Lake Hotel and ate at Rowena's cafe. They now have a menu on meals and not just a pasalubong place! The nearby Bag of Beans were closed that Monday, and the museum that we should visit was expectedly, but we forgot hahaha, was also closed on a Monday. Hence we just reminisced our childhood days in Picnic Grove, which is so different from the Picnic Grove we knew as kids. Sayang =( Calling out to the Cavite government to look into this!</div>
