Songs from my playlist: Put Your Records On

This song = instant pick-me-up. Especially during the dreary rainy season or when I’m feeling down. 💗

Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
You’re gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

Put Your Records On (2006) :: Corinne Bailey Rae

When you awaken to something so much more than what you can get from the world around you. And maybe, possibly, find a glimmer of what you're meant to remember and learn in this lifetime. It's not all rainbows, sunshine, love, and good vibes. It's a painful process some days, and I don't see the end of it anytime soon. I'm in the very thick of it, and learning something new every day. This also reminds me of Florence Nightingale. I remember writing my 3rd year high school English research paper on her. How she was a beacon of light and an agent of monumental change. How she went beyond the norm and what was expected of her in search of something more, something that beckoned to her, something that needed her to shine a light on. And that I am reminded of how I've always been drawn to the light--to things you cannot see but feel and know within your bones. I am reminded, always, to be the lady with the lamp in the darkness. 🌟

Something simple but life-changing that I learned when I got to my 30s: Happiness is within you. Happiness is flexible. Happiness is something you can create as much as it is a state of being. Happiness is in the little things. Sometimes being entrenched in the devilish details of daily living and hustling to survive, we forget. We are seduced that our happiness depends on a person, a relationship, a prestigious job, that promotion, that title, reaching that goal or milestone, getting thinner and "selfie-perfect", travel photos, joining or doing something very current and "in", getting all the praise and attention, a shiny new thing. There's nothing wrong with wanting all of these. But if you get so consumed with possessing, that possessing is all that drives you, happiness would be something always fleeting and separate from you, like a premium item you can only buy when you've got the money. But happiness is something you can tap into, like an inner reserve of strength and willpower, like love and light. 🌟

Actually, gusto ko lang talaga picturan yung "Be the change you want to see in the world" na shirt kasi maganda yung quote. Kaya lang nagposing na silang lahat eh nahiya naman akong hindi sila isama sa pic! 🤣🤣

💚 Veg Fest 2019 💚 First time doing this with family, including my soul sister. Not so super fresh selfie, but genuine smiles, filled tummies, warm hearts. Overall, a rare good, carefree day. 💃🏻Thank you! 💙 P.S. We are not vegetarians or vegans, but we just want alternative ways of cooking/making/preparing food (me) and sourcing healthier food options (me + Aly). #vegfest2019 #vegfestpilipinas #vegfestpilipinas2019
