Sometimes a lost soul ushers us to find our own and lead us to a fresh perspective in life. This is what I needed especially at the beginning of the year.  Not long ago, I wasn’t as cheerful as I am today. It took one small, gentle soul to help me see life from a fresh perspective.  The irony of life- sometimes it will take a lost soul to help you find your own.   Res A new soul ushers us to a Fresh Perspectiv e cuing cats is not something new to me. I had Sophie . She was well loved by our family. She's the first official cat of our family  until she passed 6 years ago Because of her I found a deeper appreciation of myself .   I saw  my strengths, my value, my worth and  many more things that I thought I lacked. And now Kermit. What she brought in our home is not just pure joy but seeing myself in a better way. I found her and brought her home. She found me and showed me who I am. 1.   You Are  Tough You stood alone while everyone else crouc...

At Home During the Quarantine Part 1 The General Community Quarantine literally started on my birthday this year.  Feeling BORED on a daily basis is an understatement to describe how I feel.  I knew I had to find ways to entertain myself and divert my attention away from negativity and at the same time stay alive until this Pandemic is over. We are ordered to stay HOME, hence we will.   And while I'm here I might as well make the most of it. Let me tell you a story about... The Brass Coffee Table The first time I stepped into the house of my soon-to-be Mother-in-law I took notice of her brass center  table.  I knew right then that she has an impeccable taste when it comes to home decorating.  Several years later after she passed, I saw the same  brass table now lacking in luster  tucked in one  corner at my sister-in-law's  house.  I thought it's such a  shame to have such a beauty tucked away  stripped of it's glory ...

MY cat love story started way before Sophie. Here's how it started... Dobie Some 3 years ago we lost our cat tragically.  From the looks of it, Dobie tried to jump from our fence to the ground but her collar got caught by a crooked chicken wire  hanging her to her death. This is not a good way to start a story but that's what happened..and I hate sugar coating. I was devastated.  I rescued Dobie on a stormy day 2 years prior. I heard "meaows" from under a concrete bench in a sari sari store near our house. I just can't ignore that plead for help so I took her home. Fast forward 2 years later, I lost her. While my family had 3 dogs already, my household felt incomplete without a cat.  Several weeks later,  I knew I had to get myself a kitten...Where else can you get cats in the Philippines but in the streets. We (Jino and I) rounded up our main and side streets but no stray kitten was in sight.  We were on our final block head...

My family just moved in to a new house. We are all excited! This is our new  Home .  More photos and story here!  https://nazgarces.blogspot.com/p/the-oyster.html

Fashion Jewelry are fun to wear. Take a look at these faux pearl fashion jewelry I made. You can actually look expensive without robbing the bank. My closet is dominated by white. Why? Because white can go with just any color. Sure black can do that too, but I don't want to be "dark". Plus, white is the cleanest color there is. It's clean and pristine and light and peaceful. It gives you the aura that you're actually a nice person. :)

Stay for just a while Stay and let me look at you It's been so long, I hardly knew you Standing in the door Stay with me a while I only wanna talk to you We've traveled halfway 'round the world To find ourselves again... September Morn....
