If you have been one of my readers since February, you would know how much I suffered when my partner and I broke up. It's been two (2) months since we broke up and until know I must say that I'm already coping up with the pain and I'm getting better with the help of my blog and with the support from my family and friends.

If you're asking about how am I coping up with the break-up, I just focus more on what's important and that I'm not dwelling in the past. It's hard of course, break-ups are really ugly but of course, there's a rainbow after the rain right? It's not the end of me and what happened in the past doesn't define what I am today.

As I am browsing through different websites, I bumped into a website that aims to uplift the spirit of all women out there who are striving hard to make their lives better- like me. I was really drawn into much negativity and stuck with toxic people that I, myself became a toxic person.


I am honestly not contented with my life and I am not really happy so I kept asking myself WHY and HOW?!

I bumped in one of the most amazing websites ever: http://thefulfilledwomen.com/fulfilled-life/

The Roadmap to a Fulfilled Life is an e-course specifically made for all women like me who is aiming for a more fulfilled life and achieve a genuine happiness.

What to expect: 

• Learn the foundation and the very first step in finding God's calling
• Know what is the fulfilled life and how to experience it. 
• Unearth your past experience and discover where God is leading you
• Confront your excuses
• Get yourself prepared to transition how where you are to others you should be. 
• Have the total confidence

This year's Easter is really memorable for me because this is my first Easter with my baby boy. So here's what we did to celebrate this Easter Sunday.


We went to the church early in the morning and one of my friends gave Edmund an Easter egg. I was laughing hard. We went early because my mom is serving in the church as the commentator.


So as usual Edmund slept the entire mass and woke up in the last part which is the blessing. After the mass, they announced that kids should find an Easter egg that has different prizes inside. Mom saw an egg beside where she was seating so she immediately got it and gave it to Edmund so my friend asked if there's a paper inside because there's a special prize and guess what, yes there is a paper inside the yellow egg.


Here is Edmund's outfit for today. By the way, thank you so much @BubblyfacePh for my baby boy's rattle socks! It's so cute.

This is the second time that I'll be posting a blog regarding bad customer service of Cebuana Lhuiller. The first one happened last 2015 when a guard from their company took my number by surprise. You may check out my blog post here.

So this incident happened earlier. I was with Ate Doll (our helper) and we were the first ones in Cebuana (Zabarte Almar Branch, the one's outside North Olympus) so we were asked by the guard if it's our first time to have transaction with Cebuana and we told him no, he handed us fill up forms with the numbers '43' and '44' so I was holding the number 43 and Ate Doll was holding the number 44. So Ate Doll was the first to finish filling up the form because I had a hard time remembering how much do I need to send. So in other words, her paper was the first on the line.


We were waiting patiently there when the teller called my name and assisted me. There were only one teller on the branch at that time. So after I was called, we were expecting that Ate Doll will be next (based ont the number on the filled up form) but to our surprise, an old lady waas served first but we perfectly understood it because she's a senior citizen but they let another lady pass and obviously she was not a senior so the lady that came in third stood up and asked what happened and Ate Doll came in the cashier and asked why was she not called yet.

So after the lady was assisted, Ate Doll was assisted but thing that made me pissed is this cashier told my Ate Doll "Dalawa lang namang yung nauna sayo" (There were only two (2) assisted ahead of you) and I was like, WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING A NUMBER IN THE FILLED UP FORM WHEN YOU DON'T USE IT ANYWAYS? I believe the main purpose of that number is to be organized but I believe that it's not organized at all.

Not to mention that in that specific branch, the service is too slow. I remember one time I took the payments of the shipping in my last ggiveaway, I remember I waited for almost half an hour for a 70 pesos. I was really angry because there were three (3) people in the counter but I believe two (2) are only working.

I honestly didn't want to use Cebuana as my money remmitance because of their bad service in the area. I've been using Cebuana as mode of payment when I have an online shop in Cainta but I never had bad experienc. I also tried the branch near in SM Masinag, in Almar but their service was fast. So I am just wondering why Cebuana near our subdivision is too slow?

I just couldn't believe that Cebuana Lhuillier are accepting bad customer service. I hope that they would do something about this.

I asked my mom a while ago if she's asking me what do I want to be when I grow up when I was around 4 or 5 years. She replied "You always wanted to be a telephone operator". I laughed so heart because I used to be a telephone operator because I worked in a BPO company as a Support Agent.

I'm very much eager to know what my child would be. I want to know what he wanted to be when he grows older. I wanted him to become a pilot but it will depends on him- always.

How about you? Are you excited to see the potentials of your child?
