Bags

I am a bag lover.. although i wish to buy more expensive designer bags, my finances ( and my boyfriend ) definitely say "no-no".. :(

I buy bags everywhere.. from brochures offered in the office, Sm department Stores and boutiques, Bazaars and even from Ukay Ukay! And just a few days ago I saw this really pretty Handmade Leather satchel given by his hubby for Topaz Horizon. The best part is, Frances (the pretty lady behind Topaz Horizon ) is making it a biz! Yey! I immediately emailed Frances and really thankful to get a response from her right away! Frances was really nice and honest enough to give all the details of the satchel, from it's yet imperfections like the tanning of the leather which she says makes it look uneven ( which i guess I like ) so she's still working on it but has 4 designs lined up already! Frances also swore that the bag is not at all expensive... what more can you ask for????? Oh i can't wait for her next email to get the price!


Really pretty and chic huh?!

With all the stress I've gone through at work these past weeks and big big decisions I had to make, it definitely makes me deserving to get this bag!

If you are interested, feel free to email Frances at frances@topazhorizon.com to order!

It's Final

It's Final.. I'm staying.. :) not sure until when.. but with the opportunities laid in front of me.. I will stay.

Crossroads

I feel like I'm at a crossroad and don't know which way to go. I am talking about my career and it's been so tough making decisions. I'm glad, flattered and proud that my managers has been asking me to stay, saying how important my role is and how my team loves me. But are those enough reasons for me to stay?

There will still be talks in the coming days with Managers and since I don't know what to do and where to go.. I'm leaving it all to God Almighty to lead me the way..



At the crossroad
Where the road began to diverge
And each path leads to different consequences
I hesitate...

"Listen to your heart closely. It whispers. And it will guide you"
Someone says
I closed my eyes and listened
And silence was the only sound

Over the paths and the consequences
Over the diverged road
At the crossroad
I hesitate...

Little Yboa's

I am a middle child. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters. We are already a one big happy family and yet, happiness adds up when my ate, kuya and younger brother married and started having their little "yboa's" ( little "yboa-tabora" for my ate ).

Now, I am a tita to 4 adorable kids. Johan Matthew, the youngest bouncing-tabaching baby boy at 7 months, Vince Andrew, who's starting to be makulit at 1 yr 5 months, Ian Cedric, our pidol-look alike at 3 yrs old and Cassandra Jay, the only rose among the thorns, the spoiled brattinella of loly and papa, at 6 yrs old she's starting to be maarte getting too fond of make ups.

I love being with my pamangkins. The joy and adrenaline you get just being with the kids are undeniably pure simple happiness that you get out of life. I feel happy when I see them smile, hear them laugh and just be a witness of their growth. Can't wait to have my own little "lhai" and see him/her play with our 4 bundles of joy!

Johan Matthew Yboa-Tabora

Vince Andrew Piamonte - Yboa

Cedric Ian Evangelio - Yboa

Cassandra Jay Evangelio - Yboa

It's been 4 months since I last saw Cj and Cedric and I miss them badly. I love you so much both and I am wishing and praying to see both of you soon!

Mother's Day

Even if we're always like aso't pusa whenever we fight... ( because you say that I sometimes think baluktot )

Even if I always tried to be independent even when I was younger... ( I think i got it from you )

Even if I don't tell you my deepest darkest secrets... ( because I never want you to wory )

Even if I don't say I love you most of the time... ( because I want to show you my love instead )

Even if I don't spend so much time with you as before... ( You know that I am trying my best )

This doesn't mean that I love you less. You will always and forever be our one and only. I love you Mama! Happy Mother's day!
