About MeHi there! I'm Mrs. Melissa Elbanbuena, formerly known as Ms. Melissa Solito. I'm also known as "cutieissa" in blogging, chatting, and social media circles :) I have been blogging since the early 2000s and my first blog was in Pitas.com~ it is already offline but thankfully, I was able to take screenshots of it, yay! I currently have several blogs (links below) that I update from time to time.
Reading and writing are my passions. I love reading anything and everything under the sun :) And as far as I can remember, I have been writing about my experiences in notebooks (aka diaries) since I was a kid. Hihi! I am also a licensed medical doctor. But my medical career is currently on hold while I raise our 2 young daughters who are homeschooled. Yes, I'm a very hands-on mother, and I pray I won't be a helicopter parent, a tiger mom or a stage mother in the near future! Haha! I was raised as a Roman Catholic and went to mass every Sunday with my family. After a brief faith crisis in my teenage years, I "decided" to believe in a Supreme Being (go search Pascal's Wager). My faith in the Lord blossomed during my college years when I found "The One" :) We eventually married in church after a long courtship, and we just celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary recently. Yes, we are now in the 7-year-itch period! Scary! :p My faith waxed and waned through the years, but it is now in full blast after a very traumatic July 2015. I had the worst week of my life that month, and all I really had was my faith in the Lord. The next several weeks were very dark and I thought I won't make it through. But I did~ by the grace of God :) And out of that darkness, this blog was born. I already have lots of faith posts in my head prior July, and now I finally have the impetus to share it with the world! |
