It was a lovely Saturday afternoon when I drove myself to Cubao X, to witness the soft opening of Kendo Creative and attend Make It Blissful's first #MIBInstaMeet event.  Miraculously, there was no traffic that afternoon which made me think the universe conspired for me to be there.  I'm really happy my schedule allowed me to support my friends Martine de Luna and her sister-in-law Nica Cosio and their husbands, Ton and Kayo with the launch of their newest business venture.

One of the most memorable and prettiest blog gatherings I attend year after year, is the one with my Make It Blissful (MIB) family, the Blissmakers.  I always look forward to attending an MIB event, because it's guaranteed fun, inspiring, pretty, positive, and joyful.
Last month, during the busiest days of my life, the Blissmakers gathered for an event in partnership with Luminisce.  I almost didn't make it, but I'm glad my supportive husband, pushed all our schedule for that day, to a day earlier so that I could attend.  Our schedule was crazy during those days because of our wedding preparations.  The event happened exactly a week before the wedding.

When I received the invitation to attend Make It Blissful with Fujifilm Blogging and Photography Workshop from one of my dearest friends, Martine of makeitblissful.com, I just couldn't say no.  Plus the fact that I've always been curious on how she does so well with her photography which is evident on her Instagram account.

Earlier this year, I decided for my blog to be aligned to only what would inspire others to live a practical life, but one that would not sacrifice comfort and style, and one that is aptly called a blissful living.  My mentor-friend Martine De Luna of Make It Blissful helped me achieve this for my blog as early as January through a one-on-one blog coaching. Since then, I've practiced slow and meaningful blogging.  I've also been blessed to be invited to become a part of her team of #Blissmakers, whom I share the same passion with, are very like-minded and talented women who rock the blogging world!  This 2014, my blog engagements had been focused on achieving my purposes of blogging and I am thankful Martine's influence affected me and many other women, some whom I first met in a gathering she organized together with her roster of blissful sponsors, earlier this December called The Blissmakerie 2014.
