OOTD Series #8: My BackPack Journey

I am at a point in my life where I could either walk on or turn my back...that explains the weird smiles in this series of shots...I was lucky I had photographers today...sistersinlaw again :)

Today when I am embarking on a new chapter....so help me God...

I call this day....the start OF A JOURNEY.....my backpack story....details to follow...

Office OOTD- Vision Starting To Be Blurry

These days I can't go wearing denims and rubber shoes much more slippers to work. So am "zen-serious" most of the time. My outfit BFFs are long sleeved tops, scarf and accessories. I wear my black-rimmed eyeglasses (I only got one LOL) to keep my vision sharp and to have that honorable effect LOL. 

OOTD With The Kiddo

The best things to wear when I go out on a date with mah boys:

• Polo Shirt
• Jeans
• Flats

My Little Male Version: Mom and Son OOTD

Parenting entails a lot of patience, love and caring. No sweat because those virtues come naturally when you are a mom. I must admit I am not a perfect mom. Sometimes I get frustrated when the boy-man refuses to heed my advise and fail to behave accordingly. Yet through it all my hopes are high that maturity will change his boyish ways eventually. Thing  is, he reminds me so much of how I used to be when I was his age. Photo above was taken before we went on a Sundate weeks ago. Hmmm don't be deceived by the boy-man's smile, I had to beg him to flash it and be still for this shot LOL. Motherhood? It's a lifetime devotion I would gladly trek over and over because every moment is a trip to heaven's door!

Friday- OOTD

I had two goals yesterday.

1. To survive an interview get out of the room alive, no passing out between questions.

2. To drive for two hours straight without panic attacks and any bit of scratch on the car.

I don't have a lot of decent clothes to choose from in my closet and I grabbed a long-sleeved striped polo to give me the look I needed. You know, the nerdy, reliable, respectable effect LOL.

Officially Four-Eyed, First Nerdy OOTD

After weeks of ignoring bouts of headache and squinting eye muscles I finally gave in. I had my eye checked. Yep I am a healer but when it comes to my own health I confess I usually deny symptoms until doing so takes its toll. Not a good example, definitely so I resolve to listen to my body more intently from now on. 

So instead of torturing my eyes just to do away with looking like a geek I am now officially four-eyed. Things look clearer and my eyes are now relaxed and I haven't had a migraine attack for days. 

Having eye problems? Go ahead and schedule an appoinment with an eye specialist. It will make a lot of difference.

The No Make Up Challenge

I know am kinda late in posting my "no make up" shot for FB. I think Samsung Galaxy Note II edited this shot for me though by automatically erasing my blemishes LOL. Anyway I can say that real beauty is not what one sees outside but how a person relates to everyone she mingles with. These days I can not claim to be angelic as somehow my tail and horns are itching to appear. Nobody is perfect and sigh, sometimes it is too difficult to say NO and to be good when some people are mean. Anyway each day I wake up with a prayer to have a pure heart and a humble soul. 

"Lord, I am sorry for all the times I fail you by being proud and vengeful; for all the times I choose material things over goodness of heart. Help me to be strong and say no to wrong; to be of help instead of complain. Help me to understand each day that to live is to let live. Thank you for all the blessings you continue pouring and may everyone in all the world be blessed with love and peace. Amen."

A Year Short of Forty: Birth-OOTD

So here I am, 39 and excited to turn forty next year! They say it's when LIFE begins so am bracing myself for that joyful ride. I guess you must have realized why this blog is called THE LETTERS IN NOVEMBER by now. Yep, yours truly was born on an ALL SAINT'S DAY, the 1st of November. Thank you for staying with me through the years, never tiring to read my thoughts. For all the wonderful birthday greetings I thank thee from the bottom of my heart. You are certainly all a part of the reason why I smile...
