Model Wannabe

"Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe." --Gail Devers

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Its always been a childhood dream to be an actress. Well it will be a dream for good I must say because I'm not really good in acting except when I want to insist on something from Hubby or my son. There's the alligator's tears and the tantrums here and there.

So I shifted my dream into modeling. That, is a bit achievable! Its a frustration when I was a child but since my Mama is not like me who's very stage-mom material I never got a chance neither my 4 sisters. Thats why when I became a mommy, I tried to get my son into one. Joined magazine contests, online contests and even joined some modelling opportunities. I didn't pushed hard my son though because I found he's not really into it so I took advantage of it for myself...LOL...

I posed and ramped for some friends to promote their clubs and even a clothing line. I'm so thankful that for even a simple experience I got to fulfill a long time dream.

But wait there's more...

In the year 2011, I also appeared in TV show for Mommies featuring my running hobby and how I started with the sport -- MOMents of Net 21. Below is the link to that episode clip. Its been frequently replayed so check it out.

Another dream came true that year. To be part of history. Why? Because I was privileged to become a part of  a TV Commercial for a National Marathon, the Milo Marathon.

Along with my fellow runners

patiently waiting for our scene

fun experience

But dont try to look for me at the TVC, Im just part of the "fillers" that they hire for the "Marathon" feel.

Keep dreaming and achieve it while you can!

A Mommy for 5 Years

Time flies (really) fast when you're having fun. I cannot believe my eyes seeing lots and lots of photos of us 3 for the past 5 years we're together. From our trips, reunions and some random shots from our phone cam and camera. Lots of things have changed. Many things happened.

These are photos from 5 years ago and now - in comparison. Yeah, notice the tank top I'm wearing its still the same. Only comes to show that there are still things that remain the same, including my figure. LOL!

Celebrating 11 years of Love

Eleven years and three days ago I grabbed back the dream that I slipped. I said yes to the man who promised me to take care of me for the rest of my life. Back then we became 'boyfriend and girlfriend'.

Three days ago I woke up surprised with a bouquet of Stargazers laid on top of my pillow and head. I admit I expected something for the day but not as sweet as this.

Cris has his ways to make me fall in love again and again. I look forward for more years with him and our kids.
