I'm a self-confessed bookworm and with my numerous visit to National Bookstore, I've seen this Unplug Every Journal which is very interesting so I'm including it in my wishlist coz it's something that
I need... digital detox! Look, even SM Supermalls recommends this book for their #SMWellnessWednesdays. |

Christmas won't be the most wonderful time of the year if we just keep everything for ourselves. That's why this season is all about giving and exchanging gifts. This year, here's what I'm thinking to give my family and friends.
Mama is very practical and health conscious so a fruit basket from SM Supermarket is always a good choice. She also likes to sleep a lot to keep her looking young so a new comfortable pillow will be great!
For my fellow advocates and mentors, a mug that can make their day will be nice... what do you think?

My sister loves to travel just like me so a new handcarry luggage will be perfect. I'll also get one for me daddy but I think he'll be more thrilled to have one of those magic shoes which can instantly make him look taller. :-)

My friends will most probably receive a copy of my limited edition postcards which were recently exhibited at the Prism Gallery in Makati. It's part of the Postcard Project exhibition running until December.
If you're also looking for simple gift, I hope you'll consider sending some love through postcards. Send a postcard, share the love! Any profit from the sales of my first ever Sole Searching Soul postcards will go to my annual gift giving activity in my community. For inquiries, contact me. |
Almost 5 years ago, I celebrated my birthday with a twist. I felt that God blessed me in so many ways and it is only appropriate to extend the grace to other people especially to the children in my community. So there, with the support of my family, I played the genie part!
I hosted a party in our backyard and invited some kids to celebrate with me on my 22nd birthday. Words spread out and it balloon to hundreds. For those 200+ kids (and some adults) life were dull and full of hardships, but for a day we made them feel light and happy... they experienced some fun and somehow showed them that God has his way of blessing them through others. My sister told me that it was the first time that most of the children saw a clown in real life and watched magic trick performances that close. More than celebrating my birthday, it was more of celebrating life's wonderful journey with them. And just before Christmas day, I sent a thank you card to all the children who attended the party and gave them a printed copy of their photo of with the clown. It was a simple gift to remind them that there's still joy and bliss in this world. Hopefully when they grow up, they'll remember to spread happiness to others too.

My cousins and relatives also took part in that celebration by wearing different costumes. I'm blessed to have a family of givers! They always lend a hand and do their share in giving back to community.

So you see, Christmas and birthday has always been a season of giving back for me. It's one of those special time of the year I got to share the fun to others especially to kids together with my family and friends.
Growing up in the Bicol region, SM City Naga serves as our own little wonderland since it opened in 2009 especially during holiday season when the mall is full of decors. For most of us, we're very fortunate that we grew up and visited several SM Malls around the country, making it a "norm" but for some kids in our province, a simple visit to SM means a lot...
