“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

- John 16:33

I still don’t know why I haven’t heard this song of theirs, but I couldn’t have encountered it at a better time. (And I’ve always loved that phrase! That verse.)

“Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” Psalm 31:24

So blessed to have spent New Year’s Eve and the first few days of 2013 in Hong Kong again with the family and some friends. The weather was amazing. At one point, while waiting for the countdown, I curled into a ball on the ground because the temperature had dropped considerably. But it was such a relief to finally be able to dress in leather and tights and boots without looking ridiculous. HK is best this time of year! :)

The minute I saw my whole outfit in these photos, I realized I should’ve worn my nude pumps or black wedges instead. Ehh hahaha. But the dress is still the star of the outfit! In love with its mesh detail.

It has always been a dream of mine to live in some charming European city, traveling from home to work on a bike with a basket full of flowers. Haha! So when I came across these photos I just had to have them on the blog. :)

I’m not running away. But this is one corner of one country on one continent on one planet that’s a corner of a galaxy that’s a corner of a universe that is forever growing and shrinking and creating and growing and never remaining the same for a single millisecond, and there is so much—so much to see, Amy. Because it goes so fast. I’m not running away from things, I am running to them. Before they flare and fade forever.

More pink in the bag

Saying goodbye to college one term at a time. This one’s going to be the last one with formal classroom lectures because next term will be all thesis and OJT. So what better way to make the most of my classes than with pretty notebooks and pens! Also got a new iPad case because I broke mine haha. (Lea, lookie we’re twins!)

Fam Bam Thursday

While the girls were at school, the ‘rents and I went over to Uncle Cheffy at Molito for lunch. We ordered chili garlic prawns, ribs and all meat barbequed panizza! I just ate the pizza itself though. Teehee, forever choosy. So crispy thin! I think I’ll be craving for them again all weekend.

And then we found some little people at home:
