i met someone and it feels...

Beautiful. Exhausting. Overwhelming.Insane. Heartbreaking.Wonderful. Confusing.Amazing. 
Frankly, I can't tell which. Depends on the day, really. To be honest with you, it had been a long while (about 76 years, to be precise) since I allowed myself to let someone in, to go beyond sarcasm and ban…

hardships

You know, I don't think I can really eloquently express myself lately. Or for the past year and a half. I feel like every time I write here in this blog of mine, I'm always either saying things have been tough, or that things have been tough. Thing is, anyone who knows me knows I'm mos…

Mommy, you are a superhero. The kind of superhero who wears an apron, skinny jeans, blouses and jewelry, who cooks me meals and cleans up after me. The kind of superhero who has always tended to my scraped knees, who has cried silently at night because of my diseases ever since I was a baby (yes, momma, I know about it), who is always proud of me, no matter how much I shine or screw up. I really want to thank you for all that you do for me daily, putting yourself last for me and my sisters, for always bringing me my medication when I’m too lazy to pick it up, even after working 8-6. The one who puts up with my stupidity and random, annoying, hypothetical questions about life. You really are a superhero, mommy, and I appreciate you endlessly. We may bicker back and forth every day, but we do so because we are cut from the same cloth, you and I. Similar as twins in everything. I wish I could give you the world, momma, and I will do that someday. You just wait. I love you!

my life... plus crohn’s disease

I was 18 when I was first diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. It was only a year ago, but feels like it was only yesterday. Times flies when you're having fun. HA! It’s really not the drama some people envision it to be. Honestly, I think some people pity me more than I’d ever consider pitying mys…

a reminder for you, a reminder for me

I wasn’t even going to talk about this today, but as I was editing these photos, I found myself thinking about just how vicious us women actually are. You know, as women, we should all be like a chummy group of people who mutually sup…

let us not worry about those who do not matter...

{Yay for my milky skin and peanut size! Rejoice!}
Personally speaking, high school was a very nice experience for the most part, which I realize is not the norm. However, I think it’s impossible not to fall prey to some nasty comments every now and then. Sadly, these comments happen at any age, at…

tough

Hi, guys. Sorry for the absence, life has been a big ball of no lately. I need a few quiet moments to regroup, revisit and revise, some time of introspection to figure out what's causing my anxiety and unusual sadness. I feel like life is testing me and I must respond adequately, and for that …

ready for more

Lately I've noticed myself growing taller in many ways - obviously not in height, though! - and gradually feeling spiritually more mature, ready to move forward as well as embracing new challenges as they're thrown my way. Just yesterday I found some old chat logs and e-mails from a couple…

let's share our fitness journey

Hi, gorgeous babes! How is your weekend going? Spectacular, I hope... it's just so good to have some R&R time, huh? Today I have some more fitness inspiration for you. I am so grateful to have started this fitness journey and I can't help but want to share all of this gratefulness with…

glass half full of autumn

I am such a Summer girl... I love the warmth, the skimpy clothes, the sunshine and the overall happiness you feel during this amazing season. However, that doesn't mean I'm not very much open to Spring and Fall (um, okay... Winter, I am totally kicking you out of this party, pal) and I can…

homage

As time goes by, let us not forget those who were taken from us cruelly and unfairly. These years may pass at a scary pace, but I believe everyone will forever mourn the victims of 9/11. Today shall go down as a reminder to always tell the people you love just how much you love them, as you never …

don't stop believin'

As I write this on a particularly bad day, I'm envisioning the future. All that is good and happy and healthy. A place far ahead when I don't feel like crying every moment of every day, where I don't feel like things are unfair. Sometimes I get in this bad mental place, especially beca…
