“As long as you are proud you cannot know God.” ― C.S. Lewis

"I want you to know that I love you even when you are not yet born." Letters from the past. While decluttering because my dad will repaint my room, I found these stacks of letters I had written to my future children and husband 2 years ago. The message was so poignant. ❤

Father, let not my eyes stray away from You, my Lord. For it is You to whom I draw comfort.

This book taught me a lot about praying, contemplating, and living ala Jesuits style. 😊

If you are the kind of reader that allows their book to influence them, this one is tough. How Jorge Bergoglio (Pope Francis) defined Humility was way beyond my imagination. One of the toughest was (totally) surrendering your pride thru self-accusation. He also draws inspiration through the words of st. Doroteus of Gaza. It was good, but really challenging. #popefrancis #book

"Although the life of a person is in a land full of thorns and weeds, there is always a space in which the good seed can grow. You have to trust God." - Pope Francis

The beautiful Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. First time to visit this yesterday after the concert.
I was lucky enough to witness a wedding, and I was able to pray to Mother Mary before they closed the door of the church.
I hope to see Her closer soon, and I look forward in attending the mass too.

Watercolor students for the day. I am glad that I gave this one a shot. I enjoyed and learned so much.
Thanks to Liz of Project Vanity for teaching us, and Tin Tin for inviting me to join.

My simple pleasures: random toys and figures. Hoarding more curiosities and tinkeries in the future.

New read! I just finished reading Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore

One of my projects! I love how I rendered the picture of Pope Francis. It's so cute. Look at the details by the way.
He even has a dove on top perched on his head. ❤

Every day planning is best done with brewed coffee and Cassava Cake.

My fascination and love for figurines seems to be growing

"Only by becoming poor ourselves, by stripping away our complacency, will we be able to identify with the least of our brothers and sisters." - Pope Francis
