Holiness

Posted in Catholic, Italy, Travel by

  

My brother and his wife went to Europe for their honeymoon.  They started off in Paris and ended their trip in Rome.  On Wednesdays, the Pope comes out to greet the people in St. Peter’s Square….and does an extra meet-and-greet with newlyweds.  

Yup, that’s my brother and his wife.  Meeting the Pope.  That’s just absolutely amazing.  My brother and his wife are devout Catholics and they’re just so humble and generous.  I truly believe God divinely favored them for being so faithful and allowed them to meet with Pope Francis so he may bless their marriage.  God truly is so good.

Miracles and blessings happen every day.  Remember to always be grateful.

All Nighter

The girls and I went out last night and who knew it would turn into an all nighter. Started at a bar, then to karaoke and ended up eating pho at 6am before finally heading home. Came home so, um, early…that we woke up way too late. It’s been awhile since my last all nighter and I need to remind myself that my 20’s are over. But hey, no one can blame me for allowing some awesomeness to happen. What was this awesomeness? Haha, if you only knew…. And can I say, I just love emoticons!

Well, that’s what you do when you’re single and fabulous. You just go with AWESOME!

Oh yea, Happy Valentine’s Day lol

XOXO

20 Years Already

My grandma passed away 20 years ago today. She was practically my only grandparent…both my grandfathers passed away before I was born and my paternal grandmother passed away when I was a baby.

I loved my grandma so much! And deep down inside, I know I was her favorite grandchild…because she told me I was ๐Ÿ˜‰ lol

When I was a little kid, like 7 or 8 years old, my grandma would give me $1 every time the ice cream truck came by. And I would run out and chase after the ice cream man, screaming, “Wait! I need a Choco Taco!” (I swear, they’re the best!). And I would go back home with one Choco Taco and my grandma would cut it in half and we would share it. And now, every single time I eat my favorite ice cream…it is a little bittersweet.

More than anything, I wish my grandma could’ve been here longer…not necessarily for me, but for my mommy. I could never imagine living 20 years without having a mom. I bet that’s just the saddest thing ever.

I love you, ํ• ๋จธ๋‹ˆ (Grandma)
Thanks for always loving me…and for all those delicious Choco Tacos โค๏ธ

LE LITTLE PARIS

Cute little boutique hotel in Galle Fort, Sri Lanka. They booked us in the biggest room…sweet! The other rooms at this place were super small – just enough room for one queen size bed. Our room was practically like the VIP suite. SWEET!!

They have a little boutique store next to the lobby. Nothing too special but there were some adorable items to look at. They have a nice patio in the front so it was nice to eat breakfast outside.

The room came with a complimentary breakfast, nothing too fancy but quite fulfilling. Overall, our stay was nice and pleasant ๐Ÿ™‚ It would be a great place to stay for couples โค

No Plus One

I would have never imagined being single in my 30’s. Seriously…I have no man, no kids, no worries. I guess I really can’t complain. But I am ready to settle down just as long as I’m not settling.

I realized that the downfall of getting married at an older age is that your expectations are way different.  People change…what I wanted in my earlier years is nothing compared to what I want today. You truly have to live life to the fullest in order to figure out what you want in the long run. 

Honestly, I can’t complain that I’ve been just doing “me” because it’s really not all that bad…it’s really not. But I truly do hope that my 30’s will be even more way amazing than my 20’s (if that’s even possible, haha) because you know what they say…YOLO!!
