DBS Grand Ball 2017: Truly A Night Worth Remembering

Glitters. Glamour. Grand. Not a showbiz event but definitely, one that we really looked forward to attending. That's the Davao Bloggers Society's Grand Christmas Ball 2017.

It was on December 2nd when the DBS bloggers dressed to the nines in accordance to this year's Christmas party theme. We gathered at the Home Crest Hotel's ballroom together with special guests to celebrate the holidays in advance and most especially, to know the winners of the Davao Blog Awards 2017.

This is only my second Christmas party with my DBS family and as I always say, there's never a dull moment with these young people passionate about blogging and vlogging. From start to finish, the gathering was full of life with every one going home happy and with a bag of goodies plus freebies courtesy of our generous sponsors and partner brands.

Mother's Day Tribute: How I Make Time for Nanay

"It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now," so goes Celine Dion's song.

Memories of my childhood and growing up years flashed back  recently that kept me thinking how strong my Nanay had been in raising all four of us. Now that I'm a mother myself raising teens, it makes me realize the difficult times my Nanay had encountered back then with four of us to attend to. I only have two kids and she has four yet there were times in the past that I felt I was carrying a burden so heavy. But thanks to her unwavering support and unconditional love, I was able to hurdle those trying times.

It's a blessing to have my Nanay around to still help us in our needs even when we already have our own families. She continues to inspire me with her strength and grace and I hope to follow her footsteps.
