When an orphan grows up

Once in a while you dream about your dead parents. You just cannot help it. Maybe it's their way for you to remember them since you haven't really thought about them in years. Maybe they were trying to communicate with you, to tell you how much they miss you, that they are always watching over you. Then you wake up. You cry because you don't want it to end. You want to spend more time with them for a few more hours, for just a little bit longer.

Years after years, you believed that you have continued so well ahead with your life. But then you realize you will never ever move on. That you are forever wounded from their loss. All you can do is spend a lifetime outliving them. Then, some more years passed and you think of those events in your life where your parents' presence is necessary, like your wedding, your graduation, your first job. You wonder how they would feel if they're alive. Will they be proud?

We have but one father and one mother. And the kind of love we have for them is unparalleled. That no matter how much time we spend looking for something similar in this world, nothing will equate. And that reality alone tears us all up entirely.

Isabel Marant for H&M

Isabel Marant for H&M is now available on selected stores and online. Also, the H&M’s 42,000-square-foot flagship at 4 Times Square is now open. The flagship has 300 employees, 44 fitting rooms and 24 cash registers. Just WOW!

This is the Leyte I am choosing to remember.

I pray for those who died in the typhoon.

I pray for those family who are now trying to survive, that may they find solace with each other during these difficult times.

I pray for the people who are helping the victims, that may they have more strength to keep going forward and bring aid.

I pray for our government leaders that they may strive to place the good of those they serve above any and all personal gain.

I pray for the Philippines.

I can never know how all the victims truly feel but I do hope and pray that may their hearts and minds be healed.

That kind of luxe just ain't for us. We crave a different kind of buzz.

“The only thing more frustrating than slanderers is those foolish enough to listen to them.”

LEVEL OF CUTENESS IS OVER 100000000!

DISCLAIMER: This is not a baby blog. Although I have been posting A LOT about babies and little girls lately. Oh, universe!

For today's journey in the internet world, I came across this post about a dad who takes pictures of his two daughters. Not just any picture though, he has the most creative and interesting photo I have ever seen. And somehow, his daughters make everyone wants to be a dad. Posted below are my favorite ones but you can see more pictures on their website: http://kristinandkayla.blogspot.com/

P.S. How to make a mess and blame it on you sister for dummies. Hmmn. Where can I find that? :)
