MY DAILY DOSE
Booked! First out of the country trip with the husband. Well, technically its second because we’ll be going to the Philippines first. But then, Philippines is home to us so we consider Malaysia as our official first! So excited! See you this July!
Any travel tips?

Messages like these give us so much happiness! To be inspired is something. But to be an inspiration together to someone, is amazing! We’re still in our first year of marriage and we hope and pray that as the years go on, we would still inspire more people to love unconditionally, learn to sacrifice, and have God in the center of their relationship.
It’s gonna be Mother’s Day this coming Sunday, so allow me to feature an amazing mother!
FENIDA MATEO.
Tita Nidz, as we fondly call her. She is my Dad’s cousin. I haven’t met her in person or maybe I did when I was a kid. But I can’t really remember. But even if its like that, I’m blessed to have communication with her.
From our small exchange of personal messages on Facebook, to comments on our posts, from her sharings of inspirational picture messages, it helped me be more inspired. I saw a very strong and wonderful Mother in her. And I’m lucky to have her as my Aunt. And how blessed Adriyel and Andrea to have a caring and very loving Mother by their side.
The show Good News hosted by Vicky Morales of GMA News TV featured my Aunt’s story for their Mother’s Day Special. Please take time to watch this short video. It was aired last May 5 and I’m so glad Tita Nidz, sent me a link or I wouldn’t be able to see this and share it with the rest of you.
Let us all be inspired by her story. Learn from her and be reminded that God will always be there for us.
Our bubbly little girl just turned FIVE! So bouncy and sweet who never fails to make us all happy.
A night of celebration, laughter, food, & music..
Here’s my song of the morning! I hope it gives you (YES, YOU!) the same courage to take life head on as it gives me. Have a great month of May!

Rocks and Daggers - Noah And The Whale
The rocks
They will always hold in the sea
And erosion can’t stop their being
Oh no currents can defeat them
And I am thankful for the love
These rocks have always given
And although
This boat is steady now
One wave could pull me under
And I’ll be stranded out at sea
And I will pray that those rocks
Will be there for me
And the sun always shines down on your shoes
Could be a blue blue christmas for you
‘Cos when the sun always shines down on your shoes
Could be a blue blue christmas for you
I love the way that your hair is always neat
And your skirts fall below your knees
And your love is so pure and so clean
Oh, it comforts me (x4)
I love the way that you’re always surprised
Oh, to find truth in all my lies
‘Cos you trust me and ignore my disguise
Oh, it comforts me (x4)
But there’s no need to play with my heart (x15)
Some of the photos I took for the past months which I forgot I have. Some just a few days ago. No edits. Enjoy!

Sometimes it’s easier to tell a story through pictures. As fast as the days pass by, mine is a little slower. I kinda like it that way. Wishing more happy April days ahead for everyone!
