Found the Perfect Ballet Flats But…

After fancying a new bag, I’m currently longing for a new pair of shoes, ballerina flats in particular. But unlike a new bag, I think this one is a necessity so I’m more likely to make the purchase. I really want to give my feet a treat–something stylish but comfortable–because for the longest time, they [...]

Do I Need a New Bag?

I used to be a bag lover. Actually, I still am. But since I started working online, I haven’t bought myself a new one yet. I’m always hesitating because I really don’t go out as often as before and I feel that bags are more like a luxury than a necessity for me now. All [...]

First Batch of My Beaded Accessories, 3rd Installment

I only have 2 accessories for the 3rd installment because I’d like to save the best for last. I wish I had made them months earlier, 8 months to be exact so I was able to use them for my wedding. My neck looked bare during that day because I wasn’t able to finish a [...]

First Batch of My Beaded Accessories, 2nd Installment

I didn’t want to cramp my the first post with too many photos so I decided to break the first batch of my beaded accessories into 3 parts. And this is my 2nd installment. If the 1st installment were accessory sets, this time I have stand-alone’s (although some can be paired). Again, I’d love to [...]

First Batch of My Beaded Accessories

As promised, here’s the first batch of my first ever beaded accessories (in 3 installments). While making them, I realized that as many as my materials seem, I still need to buy some more. And that I should make a list before I head back to Quiapo. I’ve been there twice only to find out, [...]

I’ve Got Supplies

I’ve been dilly-dallying for the longest time on whether or not I should start the hobby of making beaded accessories. Do I actually have the time, having a full time work and about a gazillion other things that I want to do? Well, it doesn’t matter now because after two trips to Villalobos St.–the ultimate [...]

This Is It, Pancit!

For more than a year, this blog had experienced an identity crisis. It went from being a personal blog to a wedding blog to a freelancing blog. But now, I decided to revert to the original plan–the initial idea that I had in mind when I purchased this domain. That was to make this a [...]

The Original Plan

Judging from the number of times I updated this blog’s theme without posting new content, you could tell that I’m up to something. And indeed I am. The plan is to go back to the original plan–the original purpose for which SweetSimpleJoys was intended–a lifestyle/craft/creative pursuit blog. So overtime, all the freelance related posts here [...]

Lost and Found Photos

Early this year, one of our hard drives died on us . Yes, it literally just crapped out. My dad said that some drives do expire after certain number of years. It happened on some of his computers as well and the only thing that we can do is contact the manufacturer and ask for [...]
