Leap of faith

It started as  a common vision, a common dream - to  kick start a business and  "be my own boss."  And so, one day we - three of my college best friends and I - decided to meet the challenge head on and embrace the promise of new opportunities, of countless possibilities.  It was a leap of faith, launching a business amid the rising competition thinking, nay, believing we will make it out there.  We knew it wasn't easy  but  motivation and inspiration fired us to act and to  get on our feet, to take the plunge and to  be doers not just dreamers. 

Onemind is a reality. There's a long way to go but we have built the momentum, started to make baby steps and there's no turning back. This is it!

Around the fun farm on a weekend

T'was a weekend well-spent. Along with hubby and two bosom buddies, I set to The Fun Farm at Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club Estate in Sta. Rosa, Laguna  to check it out and sample some of its organic produce.

Away from the bustling metro and into the countryside.

Well, hello fun farm!

Oh, to be a child again!

Balik Bukid! A call to experience life on the farm. 

Haven of peace.

Hello, sir!

Holy carabao! for a healthy and sustainable living 

My stash of organic fresh vegetables harvested

upon order: half kilo of basil, two pieces (kundol) white gourd or winter melon, half a kilo of camote tops and alugbati or Malabar spinach, two kilos of eggplants, three kilos of white corn on the cob all for a total P500. I planned to buy organic red rice but was told that such had to be pre-ordered(sigh!)

The Fun Farm at Sta. Elena hosts a Balik Bukid country fair twice a year ( it started last year) which gathers merchants selling local products. Spearheading the event is no less than the farm owner herself, Hindy Weber-.Tantoco. I missed the event early this year but glad to know there's one more coming up late this year.

New beginnings

The promise of a new beginning: 

On another note: I saw this during a visit to a mentor's office this morning. I was intrigued by the leaves. Never seen something quite like it. A quick research yielded this info

Peeking at Christmas

There was a tinge of sadness when I first saw my favorite Christmas decor shop opening earlier than usual last month.  I would normally get excited and think of the visual spectacle that await me inside the store ( the abundance of  wreaths and floral centerpieces, Christmas tree baubles, the selection of  garlands and much more) . This year is different though ... my shopping buddy, my dearest BFF Malou, is not around to share the excitement with me. But I know, I know. she's taking a peek, too, and could be telling me, " Hold it! Breathe in, breathe out! "
