Instagram Memories reminded me that it's been 5 ye Instagram Memories reminded me that it's been 5 years since I quit the corporate world to pursue event hosting full-time! My husband has been persuading me for the longest time to just give it a shot, and it took me a few years before I finally jumped in at the deep end. Was I scared? Nope. I was terrified! I was trading stability for uncertainty. I kept thinking: "What if I don't make it?!" And Mike said "Well, what if you do?" 

I didn't know it back then, but the next 5 years after I handed in my resignation letter at my last office job would be some of the best and most fulfilling years of my life. I have NO REGRETS. And even if things didn't turn out the way I hoped they would, I would still feel the same. Life is short. Do what makes you feel alive. Don't be afraid to fail and make mistakes. You'll never know if you don't try, right? You wouldn't want to be haunted by 'what ifs'!

"There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask 'What if I fall?'
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?"
- Erin Hanson

@milkingbombsbyabc has a new baby: the Lactation M @milkingbombsbyabc has a new baby: the Lactation Mochi Bites! Chewy, airy, sooo soft, and too cute to eat, these deliciously savory treats make for a nice breakfast and brunch snack for breastfeeding mums (and kiddos too, as you can see in this video!).

After being on OMAD for 5 days (for spiritual reas After being on OMAD for 5 days (for spiritual reasons, not vanity), I finally gave in to my cravings and we had a little Latin American lunch at home. 

🍗 Roast chicken by @gambyschimichurrichicken. So many flavors going on in this dish and I could probably eat that chimichurri sauce with everything! 

🍰 Tres Leches cake by @kitchen_no7. It looks so simple but it's really nice! It's light, moist, and milky. My family loved it.

Happiest birthday to my original Mare and my real- Happiest birthday to my original Mare and my real-life angel, @alessadsanjuan! 🎉 These photos show that you are one of my constants in life, from childhood to motherhood! ❤️ You're one of the kindest and most dependable people I know, and it's not hard to see why so many people love you and look up to you. Luis and Lucho are lucky to have such a loving and warm mama who makes everything more beautiful and extraordinary. Really hope this pandemic ends soon so we can hang out again... even if it means just getting a free massage in the mall while taking care of our babies. 😊 (See 3rd to the last pic!) ❤️ Love ya!
We just took down our Christmas tree but our "laun We just took down our Christmas tree but our "laundry tree" is still very much up! 🎄 That's why I was so happy to have received this Surf gift basket last Christmas. I love practical gifts, and a powerful laundry detergent is something that moms like me really appreciate and actually use a lot!

Surf Antibacterial laundry has Active Clean Technology that leaves clothes clean, white, and fragrant. Best of all, it kills 99.9% of germs, keeping me and my family protected for only PHP 5.50 SRP! 

Try Surf and see why it's the choice of wais moms!

Happy birthday to this beautiful soul who is absol Happy birthday to this beautiful soul who is absolutely and unquestionably the gold standard of friends! 🎁 One of the many things I learned last year is to never forget those who were really there for me. My best friend @christina.r.asperilla may have moved across the globe but when I needed support, she always willingly and generously gave it. 

I am the luckiest for having such a sweet, loyal, and amazing best friend. My family is blessed to be the recipients of your kindness and love, and they obviously love you back. (I mean, my sister teared up when you left!) I cannot imagine a world without your light in it. 

I hope you really do have a happy birthday. That's only fair, since you always make everyone happy! Proud of you for having the courage to step out of your comfort zone. I'm still amazed that a mall rat like you is surviving in a city without any nearby malls, and that the pampered woman who once lived like a donya is now a domestic diva! 😂. Of course, I'm also proud of you for accomplishing your goals, but then again, knowing how smart and hardworking you are, I can't really say I was surprised. 

Miss you and I can't wait to hang out with you again! Happy birthday (in Canadian time), Aspe! 😘💕

Believe that better days are coming. ❤️🙏🌻

After all the lows in 2020, we all need a dose of inspiration and positivity, and the quotes in this box of cookies from @thebergenecafeph really put a smile on my face. They're pretty delicious too! They tasted even better after I warmed them up in the microwave for a few seconds. 😊 Thanks so much to my lovely mommy friend @chammagsaysay for this thoughtful gift ❤️😘
