Hi, there! I’m Myra. I live life to the fullest! That’s one of my slogans in life. I believe that life should not be wasted and should be lived according to God’s perspective.

I can say that I’ve been through a lot of trials that sometimes I question God: why it has to be me?

Well, I’m thankful that it was me because the rough road I had traversed made me stronger, made me wiser and made me feel blessed because during those darkest hours, I came to know the saving grace of Christ.

Now, everything is clearer and brighter and I appreciate even the most trivial matter in life. What’s even better is that I now have a son and a husband to enjoy life with at its fullest.

  1. Hi Myra,

    My name is Sophie Miller and I work with Napkins.com. My job is to search blogs for individuals who put a great deal of effort into making Do-It-Yourself parties extra special and spectacular.

    I absolutely loved the creativity and effort that you put into creating Isaiah’s 4th birthday party! On behalf of Napkins.com I would like to award you our “Best Decorations” award reserved for one party per month that exemplifies creativity, style, and a genuine effort to create a great party. I absolutely loved the sailor costume and the cake! You did some great work!

    We won’t give out the award code until you let me know you are interested in displaying the Best Decorations award. At that time I will send you the award. We are also in the process of creating a specific webpage for the winners where your blog will be featured.

    I looked over your site and want to compliment you on your ideas and work. Once again, great work on the party! If you have any questions, comments, or are wanting your work to be recognized for the efforts you placed into the party, please feel free to get in touch with me. I would love to hear back from you!

    Kind regards,
    Sophie Miller

    • Hi Sophie! Wow, I didn’t expect someone would recognize my effort on organizing my son’s party! 🙂 I’m so thrilled with this news! Thank you so much for your compliments. Sure, I would love to display the Best Decoration Award on my blog. Let me know the details on how to proceed.

      I’ll send you a private e-mail so you can reply on that directly. Again, thanks a lot! God bless you!

  2. Hi Miss Myra,

    Your blog caught my attention too and I want to know more about you. Is it possible to know your email Id so I can get in touch with you personally? Thank you so much and God bless.

  3. Hi Sophie,
    I am keen to make a diy instagram frame for my wedding photoshoot. I really like your frame. Would you mind sharing with me the template you have and the printer you went to, as well as where you got the foam board?
    I hope to hear from you soon!

    • Hi Vivien,

      My sister designed it for me, she is based in Abu Dhabi. Then, I had it printed at Robinson’s Talisay into a tarpaulin material. I bought a foam board at National Bookstore and pasted the Instagram tarp on it. Try asking at any printing shop if they can design the Instagram layout for you. I’ll also ask my sister if she has the time to do the layout for you and just pay her for her services.
