Photo Credits This will be my first post for the second half of 2017. You see I'm on a hiatus for a long time. Its because I have to deal with personal battles and I need time to heal too. As a human being, there are times when we need to slow down and reflect. That is when I had to be away. Along the way, I learn not to give in to negativity and be an adult. Not a kid anymore because I'm already entering my mid-20's. Yes it is to new challenges and revisiting the goals I made at the start of the year. I would thank people who helped me out through out this moment & here is to more of the positive SweetSourGirl Cebu. By the way, more blogs will be in all the way so keep posted for it ☺ xoxo, SweetSourGirl Cebu
