In a recent event I covered
Happy Sunday!

Busy Wednesday

Yesterday was so full

Started with a Mass for Mama Mary's birthday

then did some organizing at home then at Wilcon

As soon as it opened!

After that chose some wallpaper designs

then home depot

then St. Luke's

then a children's party

then the site

then pick up kids

then teach catechism

finally home

Phew!

The only time I get to sit is when am in the car

But am not complaining

am actually amazed of the energy

I guess there's no better high

than loving life itself

Enjoy the last day of work for the week

Off to a Board Meeting!

Long skirt

Today was spent mostly at the site

Told my construction team, am starting to feel physically tired

They're so supportive

Saying not to worry as I will enjoy the fruits of labor soon

I had trouble getting up this morning

My body was feeling the stress of standing,walking

in heels at that

I just had to tell myself

I have a goal, I have a goal

My husband laughed at me when he first heard that

But that's what I always do

When the body is weak

Can't let the spirit go in that direction too

Wearing a long skirt today

Old, old but I love that mid calf skirts

are making a comeback

Oh yea, the wallpaper people

also did measurements already

Am so excited!

And yes, I have my eyes set on the goal.

Happy weekend!

Flower girl

Sunday

Still trekking hardware stores and kitchen showroom

What better way to exude femininity

in a masculine setting

but with flowers

Happy Sunday!

Party girl

dress: Banana Republic, belt: ZARA, clutch: Aranaz (given by Anne Gonzalez)

Covered a private event last night.

What I like most about covering the society pages in a premiere magazine

is meeting all these highly intellectual individuals

High profile people who you don't necessarily see in the magazines

but whose names and jobs define the movers and shakers of this country

and some even globally

I love the exchange of ideas

the dreams for this country

and the desire to build a hopeful nation

Went home so high and happy

Told my husband when I got home how I enjoyed that party a lot

Then it's not really work

It's broadening one's horizons

Meeting people

Inspiring goals

Making a difference

I love this job!

Clutches -

Small, light, easy, doesn't try to be the center of attention when wearing a statement dress or could be the focal point when one prefers so.

The perfect kind of accessory, never cramps your style but paired correctly makes a big statement.

Beauty doesn't come from overbearing things but in little things that grab one's imagination.
So next time you're looking for the perfect bag, just clutch it!
