THE THINGS I HAVE LEARNED IN LIFE - BY DIA FERRER

Hi, everyone! I feel so honoured to be here with you. And for today’s blog I will share something deep and really came from the bottom of my heart and that is-
“The Things I have learned in Life”, well, this topic is really broad and general. Honestly, I really find it difficult to start and to construct but thanks God I was able to think of a way to make it easier for me and I just hope that you’ll love how I’ll do it.  
Since, the topic is really broad what I thought is to share with you the BIG THING that I have learned in my life and that is HOW I HANDLE MY EMOTIONS. So is this part you will be able to know the EMOTIONAL ASPECT OF MY LIFE and of course my journey in getting to know myself too. I just hope it makes sense. ☺ But before I run into it, let me give you a little bit of background about myself.

First, My name is Dia A. Ferrer, I am 26 years old, a Filipina, and currently living in the Philippines but will migrate soon.
(I chose this picture, because for me it looks WELCOMING)
Second, I really love WRITING, which is a way for me to express whatever I have in mind and the like. That’s why I have my page where I am free to post whatever I want to share.
(This is my page, feel free to follow me, just click here)→https://diaferrer.wordpress.com
Third, for me sharing is caring, and if before my only way of expressing and sharing is through writing? But now, I also accepted the challenge of filming myself and talk in front of the camera and share whatever I want.

And yeah, I think, those information are enough for you to know me, ☺ So without further ado let’s hit it.
THE THINGS I’VE LEARNED IN LIFE
--the emotional ASPECT—
(I look so HAPPY right?)
  1. HAPPINESS- well, this is actually my favourite emotion and I am so thankful because God is really helping to be happy even though there are challenges and trials along the way. And for me, as a human being we should always look at the brighter side of everything no matter how difficult it may sound. We should know how to balance and to manipulate our thoughts and feelings because in this way we will be able to address things right. And let me tell you “HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE” if you will not help yourself to be happy you will end up losing yourself as well. So if I were you CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY EVERYDAY. I am telling you this because I am doing this and I may say, it’s helping me a lot.
(I just hope, I LOOK sad here)
  1. SADNESS- I think this is the feeling that we cannot really control or prevent from happening. As how we choose to be happy everyday there would always come a time where we will feel sad because of something or because of someone. But you know, for me it’s totally fine, why? Because in this way we are actually helping ourselves to withdraw or get rid of all the negative energy and feeling inside us and that is through reflecting or even through crying, yes it helps a lot. Just like a beautiful cloud in the sky, time will come when it needs to cry and release its heavy feeling. So don’t feel so awful and frustrated if you are feeling sad at the moment, because you also need that, the time for you to release everything. But don’t get me wrong, you should always have a way to feel better, and don’t let your sadness eat you and make you feel and look so miserable. If you are choosing to be happy every day, you should also choose to be better.


  1. ANGER- This emotion is something that comes in a snap and can ruin you at any moment. The way people feel angry is different from one another. There are lots of ways where someone will be triggered and eventually hit its boiling point. I don’t know, but for me it’s difficult to address and handle this emotion. Personally, I am really crabby and if there is someone who did something that irritates me, just imagine what comes next. I tend to say something bad and not what I meant to say. And it’s really difficult to control it and so I end up realizing my mistake and say sorry at the end. But please, I am just like this if something is not right and I think it’s still reasonable, I hope. Anger can also give us pain and scars, how? Well, it depends on how you handle and address it. But the way you control and release it can affect you a lot. I just hope that we are all careful and fair in our own ways of releasing and welcoming this emotion. I don’t want you to feel numb at the end. Just remember, there’s always a way for us to address something no matter how complicated it is.
(The picture shows LOVE)
  1. LOVE- I think this emotion helped me a lot, especially in terms of ‘how I handled myself at the highest and lowest point of my life’. If I will define love as a general I may say “LOVE IS POWERFUL”. In a way that it can MAKE YOU OR BREAK YOU. But let me share the highest point of love in my life. Well, we all know that God is the main source of love and He extended it first to our family. So our family is a way for us to feel love and be loved as well and so as to our friends and special someone. You know, I am so blessed to be able to know God in my life. He is always there and letting me experience His guidance and presence. I was able to carry on to this life because of His love. There were a lot of challenges where I thought I will not be able to make it, and back then I am feeling that the only way to surpass it was to escape and fell asleep forever. There are a lot of times when I feel so awful and devastated, but God is so good because He has sent me a lot of people to help me to continue this life and to be positive at all times. I am so loved by Him, and so with my family.

Now, the lowest point of my life is, when my father had a major operation on his head/brain. You know, I can still feel how scared I was during that time. Seeing my father in that kind of situation makes me feel so devastated. How I wish I can exchange seats with him. I thought I will not be able to make it. And I am so scared that my father might not be able to make it. But you know what? During that time? I stayed faithful to God, I never questioned His will, but instead, I lift everything to Him especially the life of my father back then. And I am so grateful because God is so good because He guided my father to surpass that challenge. No words can express how thankful I am. The love of God is really POWERFUL. On the other hand, love towards someone gave me a challenge as well but I manage to address it and carry it. Though I have realized that words can hurt you more and the pain it can cause you can destroy you and can give you scars. But you know, there are things in life that can also be ruined because of too much love. Love that can break you as a person. Don’t get me wrong, love will always find a way for us to feel happy and for us to appreciate it in the highest level. We just have to understand and accept it. Because in this way, we will be able to move on.
( I FEEL TO FREE FROM ALL THE NEGATIVE VIBES)
There are a lot of things I have learned in life and for me handling these emotions is the key for us to surpass everything. I may say I am a better version of myself now because of all the challenges and trials I’ve gone through. Sometimes we might feel lost and down but always remember that everything happens for a reason, we just have to wait until we found it out. So you have to be patient in life. ☺

Travel Diary: Chinese Garden

Hi guys! So last week I went to Chinese Garden. This place is so instagrammable worthy.  Chinese Garden is a park in Jurong East.  The main characteristic is the integration of splendid architectural features with the natural environment. It is so peaceful and relaxing. Who would have thought it is in Singapore, one of the busiest country in the world. Photos taken at the Red Bridge entrance of the garden.  Upon approaching the garden, there is a Red Bridge that will lead you in. This Red Bridge symbolises good luck and is an auspicious colour for the Chinese. (Wikipedia) (I really wish it brings good luck to me! I can feel it! Hahaha) Entrance in the 'Ru Yun T'a. The ‘Ru Yun T’a) (7-storey pagoda) is situated on a small  hill  in the Chinese Garden. Its typical pagoda design follows the style of  Ling Ku Temple  Pagoda at  Nanjing .

BATA INSOLIA (“Walk Further, Walk Taller”)

High heels for me is indeed a beauty lift. It changes woman's mood and attitude. It empowers them in a way. But high heels are pleasure with pain. When you first wear them, you feel like you can conquer the world, but as the hour passed, you feel like you just wanna throw it.  Good thing brand Bata introduces its latest Bata Insolia collection for March. As a brand that understands comfort, Thomas A. Bata identified the need to improve Bata’s high-heel value proposition. With the support of the Bata innovation lab, the team then identified the best available technology to boost the comfort of high-heeled shoes: Insolia. Insolia’s design has appeared in the scholarly publication Biomechanics and has even received the American Podiatric Medical Association seal of approval. The weight shift solution of the Insolia Heels Product fundamentally changes the inside of high heel shoes. Insolia Heels shifts weight off the ball of the foot back to the heel, placing the foo...

10 Things I learned From being an OFW

10 THINGS I LEARNED BY BEING AN OFW Arrival at SIN I've been an OFW for almost 2 years already and I can say I've learned a lot about life and about myself. What I want for the future and for my family. Without further a do lets get to it. 1. INDEPENDENCE - Going abroad you are basically always on your own. I've learned to cook for myself, decide for myself. Think things for myself without depending on anyone's opinion. Coz way back in the Philippines I'd still have to consider my brother's opinion or my relative's opinion, stuff like that. 2. OPEN MINDED - I become more willing to consider new ideas. Being in a foreign country open a whole lot of new opportunities, and it makes me see things differently. 3. POSITIVE/OPTIMISTIC - Hmmm how to put it, see when I started working abroad, at first it's pretty scary coz everything is new, but later when I already get used to it, I've adjusted myself it gives me a lot of confidence and certain...

How to be a blogger?

I really wanted to be a blogger. But the thing is I don't have the courage to post and I don't have the money to buy things. But I will do my best. I am still struggling with this blog. I really don't know what to post. Should I stick with fashion? But I want to share my other thoughts and regarding beauty? I guess I should label everything right. Hmmm I should also promote my blog. What to do? Think, think, think!

LOOKBOOK 1: TOPSHOP BLACK DRESS

OOTD (Cute and classy office attire) I really prefer wearing dress in the office or even going out, for me its just so easy to wear. No mix and match needed. The only thing to consider is the shoes, but you can never go wrong with black shoes. Hahaha This dress is from TOPSHOP. I really like it because the fabric is stretchable, thus making it comfortable to wear.  The design is pretty plain actually, it just black and white square but afar it have this kind of illusion in the eyes. My accessories are just my rings  and simple earrings. Wearing my oh-so favourite black shoes with laces from PAZZION. Hopefully you can see it here that the design is black and white square. Hahaha So this is me feeling like a model. Hmmm (pwede na ba?)   Did you like my outfit? Do you have any suggestions regarding this post? Share your thoughts in the comment box below!

LOOKBOOK 3: Ralph Lauren Dress

Since I was young I always love play to dress up with my doll but now that I’m grown up,  I became the doll itself. For today, I'm wearing a high neck dress with ruffles. I really like the details of this dress.  It looks elegant and classy. Perfect for office OOTD!  It have lace around the waist area that can be adjusted and tie into a cute ribbon adding details in the dress. And last but not the least! It have pockets in each side! How cool is that! Do you like this post? Have comments or suggestions? Comment it down below! 

Why I love printed stuff? (Feat. Print My Stuff Sg)

Though we're living today in a digital age, there's still nothing can compare to the sensibility of something printed and tangible.  Here are the reasons why I love printed stuff: 1. It can be put as a display. (Just like in photoframes, its like a trophy!) 2. It have a personal sense. (I only print things that special to me) 3. It makes me creative. (Like when i put my photos in my journal) 4. And it also makes memories last more, coz you see it more often and it just a happy pill. Special thanks to Printmystuffsg for sending this lovely photoframe! Printmystuffsg offers a wide range of printing services from photo printing to namecards, vouchers and many mores.
