Love Life!

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog! I wanted an avenue to share what I love like make up, fashion and many other things. I hope people will find this blog relatable and influential.

Love life! We only have one chance to do the things we want in this lifetime and we'll surely miss a lot of things if we don't make the most out of it. We know that the chance of reliving our lives and changing the things the way we want to transpire is not an option.
I came to a point where I realized that I can either be one of these: somebody who lives a life with full of ‘what ifs’ or be somebody who opts to live a life well-lived with the conviction of making things truly happen. And there's no doubt, I chose to be the latter.

Love life! It will not always be as perfect as it will absolutely have its highs and lows, but for sure there will also be highlights that will add sparkle to your life and will definitely make all the challenges worth it.

Looking back, the life and plans I have imagined for myself were far from which I'm currently living but I have learned to appreciate what God had planned for me. I found it hard to accept at first since I am the kind of person who plans everything and follows through every step. I can still remember how much I have conditioned myself in making my dream job a reality, and that was to become a cabin crew member. For me, being one was like hitting two birds with one stone, I would be able to earn and fly to all my favorite destinations for free. I was completely delighted when I got accepted and hired by our national flag carrier even before I had graduated. But due to some reasons that were beyond my control, I resigned and was not able to get it back. In a blink of an eye, I felt like my whole world had come crashing down, it did not make sense to me at all.

As my cousin would say, “Dream not only to reach the stars but to touch them.” I was in total disbelie f when I realized that my star was already in my grasp but I was not able to hold on to it. Letting it go got me depressed, that was the time when I told my parents, “Take me away, I don't care where I go, just take me out of the Philippines!” That experience lead me to Kuwait, and my oh my what was I thinking! The first few months there were amazing, it was all about discovering a whole new world until reality hit me. I asked myself, “Why am I here?” My life style had totally shifted into a 360 degree change. If it wasn’t for my husband, (then my boyfriend) I wouldn’t have stayed that long. I stayed for almost a year. I earned quite a good amount of money but I hated my lifestyle, it felt like I was living my life with no purpose. When I found out that I was pregnant a little over a month after we got married, I told my husband I was ready to go home. So, we made our initial plans of what we wanted for our lives, and where do we want to live.

My family

We had plans to migrate somewhere, our choices were either Spain or Canada. So we tried our luck, my husband applied for jobs and there was an opportunity for him to work in Singapore. I said, “Great! I can come for a visit anytime,” but God had a different plan. An old friend convinced him to apply for Canada. He asked me if he should pull out his visa application for Singapore so that he could apply for Canada but I told him that there was a lot of difference in the job position and pay. Although it was very tempting to just take the most convenient and easy choice for us, I reassured him that it will just be a little sacrifice for us to make in order to get to our greater goal of migrating to Canada. After 10 years here in Canada, I can say that life has been good to us. It was certainly not an easy road to take since we started from scratch when we followed back in year 2008 but we're glad we made it through. We now both have stable jobs and working on a much bigger plan for our family. I believe that God had finally shown me my life's purpose.

My mini me: Edlouise.

And my journey to committing my life in fulfilling our goals starts here... I wanted a platform free for all to read and relate with. I created this blog so that I can freely express myself, showcase my personal style and share my ideas, views and inspirations.

I am looking forward to collaborate with my daughter Edlouise, few of my friends and family like my sisters.

Let’s get started! Take a glimpse of my world, my style and the people in it! Ta-ta!

Yours,

Theresa
