Happy Easter!

Posted on April 8, 2012 by mistersircreative

Jesus is Risen! Happy Easter everyone. Today was a nice day. Church to celebrate, bbq’ing in the rain with family and friends. Just a wonderful day. It’s days like these, you must stop and just smile for life’s small blessings.

Here I am in Dallas’ Uptown Bar and Grill with my lovely bf, David. Jumbo Jenga baby this weekend was fun, oh yes.

FYI: I have a new blog layout coming up soon, so be on the hunt, you know like an easter egg hunt. I’ll stop the cheesiness for now.

Pin It: Spring Colors

Posted on March 10, 2012 by mistersircreative

Home on a Saturday. What? It’s gloomy, raining and yucky outside. Today I attended a Baptism for Baby Geralyn and we hung out all afternoon. I made her a baby mobile for her baptismal gift, which I will show how to do in another DIY coming up. Anyways, I am so stuffed with food from this past afternoon (we Filipinos really know how to feast for celebrations).

Tonight’s a pinning kind of Saturday night….and since Spring is hopping around the corner I found these inspirational pins on Pinterest. Spring colors.

I’m just loving the bright colors that are to come soon…

She’s Here! Baby Geralyn Has Arrived

Posted on March 3, 2012 by mistersircreative

I am happy to announce that I am an aunt again. My best friend, Dette Buentipo, just had her baby last recently. Baby Geralyn Rae Dula was born on Feb 19, 2012 on Sunday at 10:15 pm. Life is truly amazing. To see and hold a baby we have obviously been anticipating for for 9 months and to see her finally here is truly God’s miracle. So fast on how time flies (I’ve known Dette since I was like…1!!!). So many blessings that we fail to see. So many joys in life that we just have to celebrate.

The last visitor before going to the hospital. Here’s the baby bump. That’s me to the left and Dette on the right…duh.

Several hours later and first visitor to hold her— she’s here. Isn’t she so sweet?

Gotta show the close up of the baby face.

She is so cute! I admire all of you mothers out there. Hearing about labor can be pretty intense, but I can’t imagine going through it as well. If you are a mother, please comment below and share your favorite new born baby moment

Cheers – C

Before And After: My New Pad

Posted on February 25, 2012 by mistersircreative

I have been waiting for this moment to post the new photos of my new apartment. It’s been almost a year since I have lived in my cool place and it’s time I finally share new photos. Most of my knick knacks I bought for my place was from Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie (sale areas), antique stores, flea market, Dallas based, Uptown Country Home, The Dallas Flea, Christmas Tree Shops, Ross, TJ Maxx, Craigslist (awesome) Before and Afters that is…

Random Musings: Soul Searching

Posted on February 17, 2012 by mistersircreative

I thought I’d share this badass photo I took when I went to San Francisco with my best friend during spring break ’08.

Pretty cool huh? It’s one of my favs.

It’s raining outside and to be honest, it has been a gloomy day. I’m in my mid-20′s and I feel like I have had a lot on my mind lately. I don’t party anymore. Gah…yah I know. Lame thing to say when there are thousands of more horrible issues going on in this world. I get it, believe me but hey, I’m me. My social life has sort of dwindled and I have a lot of friends that are on the fast track and sometimes I feel like I’m on the slow track. I have got a full time job that I love but sometimes love too much, a loving bf of 5+ years who happens to be a very busy entrpreneur (tying the knot one day soon?? hmmmm), planning for my parents retirement — which can be depressing sometimes, missing my only sibling, my big brother and his wife and my nephew who are living in Austria which I barely get to see—- wondering if I’ll ever get to be an Auntie, barely any family living here in Dallas….and more personal issues I care to not talk about in this blog……..I just feel like I have been doing a lot of soul searching lately and to be quite honest, I am enjoying it. I am definitely trying to listen to what the silence is telling me. God are you there? It’s me Chiara.

So much is going around me sometimes I can’t keep up. I have always been one of those people that wants to be there for everyone and everything, I sometimes forget about taking care of myself. I’ve got people around me that are going through life’s twists and turns, the good and the bad — I can’t help that I want to be apart of it. Engaged. Pregnant. In Love. Not In Love. Scared. Confused. Faithful. Faithless. Making Money. Money Hungry. Whatever. Can I just take a breather and get away from this world?

I will one day walk this Great big Wall of China. One day…

So I was talking with my cousin Marie who lives in Austin and she and I always have the best, deep talks. And she told me something I probably will carry with myself for the rest of my life. She said, “I’m not going to apologize for being me.” Well said. This 2012, let me reiterate, I am going to do things for me.
