Tea Time with Miyo

Welcome to my little corner of the internet—where heart talks, soul giggles, and curious minds gather. I started this blog to share snippets of my life: the magical, the messy, the mundane, and everything in between.

Think of this space as a cozy chat over tea, where we can daydream, dive deep, and laugh about the wild ride of being human.

So grab a comfy seat, bring your whole self, and let’s journey together—one beautiful, weird, wonderful moment at a time.

🌿 Nighttime Gentle Liver Ritual (15–20 min) Intention: To soothe the liver, invite restful regulation, and align with your body’s natural rhythm of overnight glucose balance. 


🕯️1. Sacred Setup (Optional)

Prepare a soft space with:
• Dim lighting or candlelight
• Optional: Calming diffuser blend – 1 drop Geranium + 1 drop Frankincense or Lavender
• Place your hands over your lower right ribs to begin connecting with your liver area 

🌬️ 2. Cleansing Breath + Centering (2 min)

Take 3 deep, slow breaths with your hands resting gently over your liver.
Inhale: I invite softness and harmony.
Exhale: I release tension and excess.

Feel your body drop into stillness. If emotions rise, honor them as part of the liver’s unburdening. 

💧 3. Warm Compress (Optional – 5–10 min)

Place a warm towel or hot water bottle (not too hot) over your liver area.
• This increases blood flow and soothes the liver qi
• Add a drop of Geranium or Lemon EO (diluted in a carrier oil) to the towel if desired

While resting:
“Thank you, my liver, for your tireless filtering, your wisdom, and your courage to transform.” 

🖐️ 4. Gentle Acupressure or Tapping (3–5 min)

Use your fingers to gently tap or massage:
• Liver 3 (Taichong): top of foot between big toe and 2nd toe
• Spleen 6 (Sanyinjiao): 4 finger-widths above the inner ankle bone
• Use both hands or alternate, saying: “Balance. Flow. Peace.” 

  🌀 5. Energy Flow & Reiki Activation (Optional)

If attuned, activate Reiki over your liver, solar plexus, and pancreas areas. Visualize soft golden or green light infusing your organs, aligning with the rhythm of the insulin working overnight.

“As I rest, my body heals in harmony. My blood is clear, my liver is light, my soul is steady.” 

🌙 6. Closing & Surrender (1 min)

Finish by cupping both hands over your heart.
“I am safe to rest. My body knows how to heal. I trust the flow of life through me.”

Drink a few sips of warm water (you may add a small pinch of sea salt for trace minerals if desired), and prepare for sleep.

Night Blooming Peace Meditation

A night time meditation ritual to soothe the liver, invite restful regulation, and align with your body's natural rhythm of overnight glucose balance. This ritual works on the energetic and emotional level - grounding the Liver meridian (active at night between 1-3 AM) and supporting restful regulation. Best paired with Geranium and/or Juniper essential oil, and a warm compress or cup of water nearby.

So there I was, staring at two earplugs: one basic, $1 foam plug and another that cost 10x more but promised “high-fidelity sound.” It was just an earplug. An. Earplug. And yet, my brain had me spiraling into a full-blown identity crisis.


Do I go with the practical choice and accept muffled concert audio for the sake of saving money? Or do I invest in the best possible experience while protecting my ears without sacrificing sound quality? I mean, it's my first time attending a concert after a long time—why compromise now?!

That’s when it hit me: this is just how I’m wired. I’m the person who calculates quality vs. price like it’s an Olympic sport. I’m not here for overpriced hype, but I also refuse to settle for mediocrity disguised as practicality. And apparently, this makes me a hot topic.

“You overthink the smallest things.”
“You have unrealistic expectations.”
“Just get the cheap one, it’s not that deep!”

But you know what? It is that deep—to me. And that’s okay.

Understanding my own personality helped me realize that I’m not being unreasonable—I’m being me. And when you understand yourself, it becomes easier to navigate judgments from others (and even from yourself).

So whether you’re the “just grab whatever’s cheapest” type or the “let me analyze this purchase for three days” type—own it. Your way of doing things isn’t wrong just because it doesn’t match the world’s idea of normal.

So here I am, contemplating on an earplug at 3am in the morning. Yes I am losing sleep as of this moment. For a freaking earplug.

If you were in my position, what would your choice be?

UPDATE: So I bought the loop and now on my second order. :) I got the Quiet 2 and was happy about it when I used it in j-hope's concert in April. I find it useful in crowded areas like sports bars and restaurants where people tend to get loud. However, using the Quiet 2 blocks too much of the sound, making it hard for me to interact with people. This one is so good tho if I like to study or work without having to engage. So I got the Engage 2 for days when I want to be social and still have this quiet space.

If you are contemplating about getting one, use this referral link to get 15% off on your purchase :)

Back in Minnnesota we used to go to this restaurant where they serve sushi and robata. It is our default dinner place when we cannot decide where to go. So when we tried this place in BGC because every other place has long queues, it kind of reminded me of our weekend dinners in MN with 2 kids under 2.

Time flies and it's been more than 6 years since we moved back to PH. Kids probably don't remember how winter was like in their birth city. 😂

Anyway it's weird that I travelled back to memory lane because of the food 😂 If you are craving for Japanese robata, drop by Nikkei Robata in Uptown Ritz. This is not a paid ad lol 😂 I just feel like sharing because I enjoyed the dinner hehehehe and I seldom talk about or recommend food because I rarely get impressed with food but when I do I tell people about it LOL


Here's what we got and what I think about it Salmon Sashimi - Warren wasn't impressed because he said the cut was too thick so maybe it didn't have that melting in your mouth feeling. I don't eat sashimi so I cannot tell anything about it 😂

Prawn Sashimi - Warren had these too looks like he enjoyed this better than the salmon

Soft Shell Crab Roll - this was supposed to be my order but Wyllan liked it a lot so he end up eating everything. I was only able to eat one, too much rice for me and too much kewpie 😂 I prefer Masu's shoft shell crab roll but overall it wasn't bad

Hokkaido Scallops with Uni Sauce - This I probably would order again, the scallops were cooked nicely and adding the sauce made it taste even better (note that I am not fond of sauces in my food). I probably would come back to the restaurant for this 😂 Wyllan loved it too. I felt we should've ordered more because 2 orders is not enough lol

Robata Steak - I would come back for this as well. We had it at medium rare. The steak was seasoned well that Warren didn't even ask for a steak sauce. He usually does hehe.. it is paired with mashed potatoes which is also OK. Kids loved it too so maybe this would be our regular order when we visit the place again. The serving is a bit small for the price but it was good anyway 😀

Salmon Teriyaki - I didn't eat this since I don't like sweet sauces. Cerise didn't like the teriyaki (just because we don't like sweet sauce) but if you are fond of teriyaki, this one might be good for you. Cerise ate the entire Salmon because Wyllan decided to eat my order 😂

Chicken Teriyaki - Same as Salmon.. we actually didn't eat this since we are already full when it was served. I am heating it for today's lunch LOL but it was paired with coleslaw and fried tiny strips of sweet potato which the kids and I enjoyed lol

Ebi Kushiyaki - love this too! They might have over-grilled it but I love the simple flavor because I get to enjoy the flavor of the prawns. I definitely would have this again because I love prawns 😂

Overall dinner was good, if it's worth the price... not so sure because if it is good then I think it is worth the price LOL Warren paid for dinner so maybe we should ask him 😂

You can check their menu here if you want to see what else they got https://www.nikkei.com.ph/bgc-robata-branch-menu

Paris is one of the places that I only envisioned in my dreams. Like any young girl who is head over heels about falling in love, this place came to my mind. As a teen, I thought of Paris as a place where lovers meet or where you meet your lifetime partner. I used to even daydream about going there hanging a lock at one of the bridges around Seine River. Yes, I am a hopeless romantic in one part of my lifetime LOL

I really thought I would be visiting this place with my one true love, my husband. It hasn't happened yet though since I could not convince him to go without the kids hehehehe... But then the universe couldn't wait for me to visit this place, or maybe it is already so sick and tired listening to my thoughts of going there, so it gave me this once in a lifetime opportunity going there as a side trip to Croatia.


I visited the place with my two friends, Cris and Rachel. It isn't a romantic trip that I imagined years ago but being able to go with two people who constantly fill my energy with colors is great enough. Even if it is just a short trip, we are able to explore Paris and experience most of its grandeur.

The place isn't as spectacular as I thought it would be though, but nonetheless, the trip reminded me how beautiful life is. Traveling with friends allowed me to retrieve back myself, one that was buried deeply inside me and went hiding because I decided to raise a family.


By becoming a mother, I've had this dilemma of losing myself in the process. I ended up looking after the wellness of my kids and husband, neglecting to see that I do have needs as well. However, for the past 2 years, the pandemic allowed me to realize that I need to love myself first so I can provide the best care I could give to my family. Some would think I am being selfish doing this because that's what the society dictates. As a parent, you need to forget about yourself and give it all to your offsprings. I call that bullshit. I realized that the ideal situation would be to fill your cup first so it overflows enough to fill other people's cups. Loving yourself is not selfish, it is selfless, because you allow yourself to shine your light and bring light to others. You cannot pour enough love from an empty heart. So it should start from within you.


I am grateful to be able to see Paris and yes, it is still a place of love to me. Coming to this place allowed me to find love for myself once again. I guess the universe wanted me to go there to find love indeed. After almost a month away from my husband, I came back to my lover's arms with so much joy, gratefulness and love. My cup was overflowing and ready to share how beautiful life is with others.


La vie est belle!

It was just a few years ago that I realized how much starting your morning affects how you would respond to certain situations and events throughout the day. Since then, daily priming has been a staple in my morning. It has evolved throughout time as I learn new ways to set the tone and mood that I needed depending on my intention for the day.

I learned that protecting your spiritual energy is needed so you can be at the highest vibration possible so you can act and respond out of love and not fear. Creating a positive atmosphere in the morning also helps you become clearer and more focused with what you need to accomplish.

So how do I start my day? I first start with affirmations. I do this just when I was waking up, lying in bed and half-asleep. This was when I was still in trance state. I would say "I am abundant, I am living my purpose, I am loved, I am deserving, I am enough. Everything works out for me. I am at peace. What is meant for me will come with ease." You can be specific too if you have anything that you want to accomplish or have. Usually I do this when I need something that I want to manifest.

Then I would say a prayer of gratitude, connect to my angels and archangels. I would thank them and ask them to guide me throughout the day. I would do breathing exercises and meditate to ground myself. I usually listen to Kyle Gray or Yantara Jiro when meditating. By the way, I do everything while in bed :D hehehe

After I am done with mental and spiritual work, I then get out of my bed and apply essential oils to protect my energy field. I would also turn on the diffuser with citrus and mint aroma to help me feel energized and uplifted. I would draw some oracle cards, or sometimes tarot if I am not lazy, just to check if there is any message that I need to be reminded of or need to focus on. Lastly, I would just cast a beam of white light to my husband and kids, just to cleanse their energies and protect their aura.

After I am done with all these, I would go about whatever routine I have in the morning.
It may seem a lot but it doesn't take much of my time. I just feel at peace and at ease when I do this daily. Also I noticed that I am more patient, compassionate and motivated throughout the day. There may be bad days but usually when I prime my day right, I can get through that day without really disturbing my vibe and I can easily shift back to high frequency.

Have you tried priming before? I would like to know how you do it? If not, would you want to try it for one week and see how it goes?

정호석 Where do I start? 

2019 was when I got interested in them but not enough to convert me to ARMY. Never tried to check out who they really are. 

Then there's carpool karaoke, sya una ko napansin, somewhat annoyed kasi ba't ba ang bibo nya? 🤣 Malay ko ba na sya pala si Mr. Sunshine hehehe.. I find them funny sa video na yun but not enough to really stan them. 

Then last year I gave in to really get to know them as in seryosong kikilalanin ko sila. Salamat sa hype ng BTS meal na curious tuloy ako 🤣 I said, I won't just enjoy listening to their songs or enjoy watching their videos without caring about who they are.

He isn't my first bias, kasi nga I never liked him the first time I saw him ang bibo kasi. 🤣 I remember telling my cousin and nieces that Jin was my bias and since bias sya ng nieces ko, they said "kay JHope ka na lang tita!" Syempre ako "NOOOOOO! Pwede sa iba?" 😂

Then one night he visited me in a dream. As in a dream that would destroy me forever LOL. Yung dream na hanggang pagkagising mo eh iniisip mo anong nangyari? Yung dream na feeling mo close na kayo and that you have that special connection. Yung parang pag nagkasalubong kami in person someday, he will also feel there is connection. Ganun 🤣

You know what's really creepy? Dalawa lang sila na napanaginipan ko ng ganun. Hobi and my husband. Nakilala ko asawa ko and nalaman ko na he exists when he visited me in my dream for 3 consecutive nights. Si Hobi 2 nights 😂 It was the same connection after I woke up. 

So ayan ang reason why I am head over heels with this bibo guy 🤣🤣🤣 Malapit na birthday nya haha I felt obligated na maghanda kasi nga I feel we are connected LOL 😂 

Anyway, I just shared kasi I woke up hearing his voice 😂 nalimutan ko binago ko pala alarm ko with his wakeup voice 😂

Kayo anong bias story nyo?

I have been trying to be more conscious about what I eat to help reduce inflammation in my body and hopefully be able to shift my health above the wellness line. One of the struggles I have was meal preparation and at times it takes a huge chunk of my time just prepping. I realized the easiest I can do in the morning was a veggie omelette. :D

Sharing with you a simple recipe that I do. You can add in any veggies you like, no rules here :) 

Ingredients:
2 organic eggs (this is non-negotiable, it has to be free-range organic)
shiitake mushrooms
marble potatoes
celery
organic cheese (mozzarella, cheddar or pepperjack)
onions or shallots (optional)
sea salt
black pepper
cayenne

Stir fry mushrooms, celery, onions, potatoes 
Set aside
Beat eggs, add a dash of sea salt, black pepper and cayenne
Pour eggs into the pan
Add cheese
Add stir fried veggies
Fold omelette to half and flip 
Top with organic ketchup (optional)

My friends and I decided that we will go ahead with the ten-day Master Cleanse starting today. I have been hesitant at first but since I am already getting symptoms of deterioration in my heart, I feel that it is alredy time that I focus again on my physical health. I have been too focused in my spiritual, emotional and mental well-being that I failed to recognize that all four areas go hand in hand in achieving holistic wellness.

Basically this Master Cleanse would enable us to clean our guts since the center of ones health is in the gut. Good thing my doctor gave me a go on this. I was too scared that he would say no :D I will be monitoring my progress on this and hopefully will be able to share some snippets of my journey.

We started with a 3-day precleanse which to me did not do much since most of the things that we started to wean off from the diet, I am not eating. Day 1 would be removing caffeine, refined sugar and processed foods. Day 2 would then remove dairy products and Day 3 is when we get rid of the meat. Day three is a bit challenging only because it is really hard to find a meal that would not require meat (well at least from where I am from where our meals are entirely with either pork, chicken or beef). Also, I wanted to make sure that my husband is on-board with this since he is going to do the cleanse with me too. So I need to make sure that he is not getting discouraged even before we start.

I toook an herbal laxative tonight which scares me thinking about what would come out tomorrow (sorry TMI) hehehe... but I am scared of anything that crawls and they said the parasites that have been living in our gut for a long time would want to go after this cleanse LOL. Hey all of us have that! I tell you you need to be thinking about doing this cleanse too in the future.

Anyway tomorrow is Day 1 for the official cleanse, we will be completely shutting off our digestive system and focus on the cleanse. For 10 days, I will just be taking a Master Cleanse drink made of just lemon, grade A maple syrup, cayenne pepperr and water. OMG for 10 days! I don't know how much I would be able to resist the cravings but I shouldn't worry about the nutrition since I will be getting all the nutritional requirements my body would need from those 4 ingredients.

I will tell more about this as I go on with this. I will be updating this blog post daily to give you an update on what I felt, emotions that came up and the challenges.

DAY 1 - 2/22/2021


So far so good.  Probably because I am still excited hehehe.. I am surprised that I didn’t have a hard time getting my husband take the salt-water flush (SWF). I had to mix 2 teaspoons of sea salt with 1L of water and consume it in 10-15 minutes.  This would help in flushing out the junk inside. Taking the Master Cleanse Drink (MCD) entire day seems fine. I didn’t have cravings at all and my hubby didn’t complain so all is good. Hehe... there was a bit of challenge though because I have to prepare every hour. I did the concentrate but I cannot prepare way to many since we need to have just enough that we can consume in 8 hours. I think we both had 9 glasses today. I didn’t count at all! But we did get around a glass within 1-1.5 hrs. I felt a bit cold for some reason but maybe because I am Type O. So I guess my body temperature dropped.

I also did my cleansing yoga, focusing on breathing exercises and allowing my blood to circulate. What’s good about today though is that I noticed my blood pressure to be lower.. woo hoo! Not sure if it is the yoga or the drink? Or maybe the meds? Hehe whatever it is hope that as I continue in the next 10 days, I’ll have better readings and that my doc will reduce the dosage. 

Anyway I have one more round of MCD today and then will take my laxative and call it a day! :) 

DAY 2 - 2/23/2021

OK Day 2 did not start quite well for me. I tried mixing 2tsp of sea salt to 500ml water thinking that it would be easier to swallow the SWF at lower volume and follow through with 500ml plain water. Boy, I am so wrong! :) I felt like throwing up all morning, it was worse than getting morning sickness. Still amazed by how my husband is able to take it without bitching about it hehehe.. I spent an hour in the toilet but it was the most satisfying feeling ever hehehehe!

Overall it was good, no cravings and other challenge with just taking MCD throughout the day. I just have minor issues with my thigh muscles being sore (not sure if this is an effect of the cleanse or the effect of the yoga activity I did the previous day) hehehe..

I have an option to take Swiss Kriss (tablets) or Smooth Move (tea) as laxative and I feel that Swiss Kriss is a better option for me. There is much prep needed for the tea and usually I am already spent by the end of my day. I added YL’s Inner Defense in my regimen to kill any parasites in my body. Anyway I don’t know what tomorrow will be so we’ll see hehehe..

DAY 3: 2/24/2021


Day 3 wasn’t that bad at all but it is getting more challenging taking the SWF. I was contemplating about taking the laxative instead the next day instead of SWF. I am worried that my hubby isn’t saying much.. not even a complaint! He would just take whatever I hand him when I thought it would be a struggle for the entire 10 days hehehe.. I shouldn’t be bothered right? I frequently check him for anything he feels or any discomfort.. he’s like nada! Hmm..

As for me, I feel a bit sullen today so I went ahead an lay down my bed and listened to sound bath by Healing Vibrations on YT. I listened to their endocrine cleanse video and it helped relaxed me. I still didn’t do yoga today, ahh my thighs! Hope tomorrow I would be able to :) 

I attended Tom Woloshyn’s Master Cleanse class today and I am glad I did. I had more understanding of how this works and it isn’t just another diet fad. This focuses on cleaning your body and reviving your gut and digestive system. I feel a lot better actually compared to when I was eating the usual junk I enjoy bingeing on. I am still waiting tho to eliminate the waste since I feel that my body isn’t releasing them yet.

I also attended Ed Dailey’s class on Super Gut, very timely when I am working towards cleansing the gut. His class made me crave for baked salmon and Brussels sprouts haha! My list of what to eat after cleanse is building up heehehe. 

Entire day went fine, we had 11 glasses today. I decided to add 1 more tablet of the laxative and a capsule of YL’s Inner Defense and see how it would make me move the junk out. We’ll see.. for now Day 3 is over :)

Best quote for today, from Tom, is “when life hands you lemons, Master Cleanse.”

Day 4: 2/25/2021


Trigger warning: TMI
When they said “never trust a fart,” I thought it was said in exaggeration but boy I was so damn wrong! :) I didn’t expect that I would even experience it but noooo I was now a victim.. a living testimonial LOL!

Anyway, remember I decided to add another tablet of the Swiss Kriss as laxative? Not a good idea! :) I didn’t sleep last night cuz I kept running to the bathroom haha! Also there is a feeling of pain, similar to diarrhea whenever I need to go. So I guess 2 tabs should be enough. My husband seems fine tho with 3, so I will keep giving him 3.  I also deferred taking laxative in the morning as alternative for the SWF since it might not do well from last night’s struggle. So I had to suffer taking the 1L SWF again T___T 

I wonder if this cleanse would help my husband sleep better at night. He normally doesn’t get deep sleep so most of the times he feels tired waking in the morning. So hopefully this would show improvement. Anyway I hope this would help him a lot!

Day isn’t over yet but I feel like writing an update already cuz it’s only been 3 hrs since I woke up and I feel that I am already half through my day :D hehehehe! I might do yoga today, my thighs isn’t that sore anymore so yeah.. see you in a bit!

=============================
I did yoga this afternoon and my favorite part was the gong. I feel weird though, it was a good weird feeling, as if there is energy flowing in my body. It was perfect! Doing the yoga kind of lifted up my spirits so yeah. 

I was a bit worried about my husband though, he hasn’t been talking much and just taking what I give him. I am worried that things are going through his mind as his body cleanses his emotions as well, and he is not telling me! Maybe I am just too paranoid hehe.. I hope though that it would heal whatever need healing in his body and mind. 

Anyway, I think that would be it for today, I did about 9 glasses today a little less than what I normally have from the past days but all is good. :) See you again for another update tomorrow. :) 

Day 5: 2/26/2021


Half-way through! There isn’t much about today aside from the more usual trips to the bathroom. I felt that I am getting less hungry compared to when I first started the cleanse. I started to crave chewing something hehe but not to an extent that I would want to stop the cleanse already. For some reason my body is wanting to go on beyond 10 days hehehe..

I so got used to the routine of prepping the MCD for me and my husband that it became a habit. I normally consume about 9-10 glasses in a day, but the need to have one declined. 

SWF is still a pain in the ass :D hahaha.. I haven’t tried taking laxative in lieu of the SWF but I will give it a try this weekend.  Five more days and we are done! Jia you Miyo!

Day 6: 2/27/2021


Nothing unusual today except that I noticed that I eliminate less, not sure if it was because I switched from taking SWF to laxatives instead. I didn’t feel hungry or needing to take more MCD like before, I think I pretty much done with 6 but I tried to get to 8 today since my blood sugar might drop like crazy.

Here’s one thing I wanted to share about my experience, being at day 6 in my cleanse. For the past months, my blood pressure is ranging at 171-197/102-119 even with meds. My doc decided to double the dosage of my maintenance meds to help alleviate the symptom.  He warned me though that it would be very tough to get me to normal but getting to around 150 systolic is our goal.  I asked him about doing a cleanse and he told me that if it would help, then I can do it. I just need to make sure that I monitor regularly. 

After 3 days pre-cleanse and 2 days into the cleanse, I noticed that I am already in below the goal range 136-153/87-103. Still high but my doc said unless we find the root cause, we can’t expect it to go lower. Day 4 into the cleanse, my range is at 136-146/87-97. Day 6, I checked again and guess what? It was 129/86 woo hoo! You know what’s even more amazing? I actually reduced my dose back to original since they said when doing the cleanse, it is advisable to wean off medication. I am not comfortable doing that for the time being but I went back to the previous dose that was given to me when my blood pressure is lower. 

I plan to continue on doing the master cleanse for a longer period so I can hopefully wean off my meds for good. This made me excited to see my doc next month :D hehehe.. Hope he would agree to further reduce my meds. I am just glad that my doc considers how I wanted to be treated. I usually negotiate with him not to get me into medication provided that I would work through it with proper diet and nutrition. There are cases where he won’t agree if he thinks I am at risk but most of the time, he just let me be. :) Hope I get better news in the next days. 

I am at awe with how our body can fully heal itself if only we give it rest and opportunity to do so. This cleanse would be a regular regimen for me moving forward. I cannot give up the sinly foods that I enjoy but knowing that I will be able to flush off any junk it leaves in my body is a compromise that I am willing to give quarterly. 

Day 7: 2/28/2021


Wow I can’t believe that I am in day 7 already. Time flies! I think I am enjoying the experience so much that I am actually not feeling like I am torturing myself hehehe... I actually feel good! Normally when I try  a restrictive diet or program, in just few days I would feel really bad and that I would just stop doing it. With the cleanse, it is the other way around. The only craving I got was the thought of chewing something and tasting different flavors... but it isn’t that much of a craving that I really feel bad and wanting to stop. 

I am happy too that Warren, my hubby, is doing this with me. I am surprised that he lasted this long without complaints! I was anticipating that I would have a hard time making him do it and that I would end up forcing him to, but for some reason, he just did it. :) I hope it would also do good for him. He isn’t talking much about his experience but I am assuming he is feeling good about it, since he is still doing it with me LOL 

Anyway I am excited to chew LOL Three more days and then I would be in another post cleanse for 3 days. I am still figuring out some vegetable broth recipes that Warren would willingly take in hehehe.. This makes me crave for spinach and scallops soup hehehe.. anyway it is just the start of my day and I haven’t even taken MCD yet. I don’t feel hungry at all! I’ll update you more later today. I probably do yoga so yeah. 

=====================

Days 8-10 3/3/2021
The last 3 days of cleanse is a bit drag hahaha but the best thing I noticed is that my blood pressure has been consistently low :) I am surprised that I actually did it! When I first heard about this cleanse, my first reaction was, not another fasting fad! I am so glad to have friends who encouraged me to do this and to just take the plunge. This experience is life changing to me and it showed me how important it is to keep the gut healthy. 

I may have achieved getting this cleanse to completion (and convincing my hubby to do it too) but the real challenge is maintaining it. I didn’t want to just be relying on a cleanse and go back to my old ways of eating junk. 

So before I ended my 10 days, I went ahead and did something that I have been wanting to do since 2017. I reached out to Dr. Harvey de Baron, of Baron Method, to finally coach me into changing my lifestyle and focusing on nutrition to drive my health. I have wanted so hard to wean off meds, and the only way to do it is to go hard on health. 

I have the tools and knowledge about eliminating toxins in my household and body. I have education about the clinical use of essential oils to reduce our dependency on meds for mild to moderate symptoms, preventing excess burden to our liver and kidneys. However, I lack knowledge in nutrition. So this wellness journey that I am in is taking me to finally learn about nutrition. So I can continue to build a healthier lifestyle of me, my husband and kids. 

So as I end my 10th day, instead of thinking about the endless cravings and mukbang sessions that I will be doing in the next few days, I am excited to start preparing healthy meals made of REAL food for my family :) It would cost me, but at least in a long term, would save us hospital bills and expenses for developing chronic illnesses from the cumulative effect of junk that we brought in our tummies.

So lately I am so interested in learning sound healing with crystal bowls and so obssesed about these. I have been using singing bowls for cleansing crystals but it was just a while ago when I started exploring sound for healing. Since our wellness line is highly dependent on the frequency of our body, the use of sound can help align the frequencies of our chakra. 

Personally, sound healing has been useful for me in supporting my sleep and emotions. Lately have so many thoughts that is causing chaos in my mind. I am in a transition state and the random emotions of fear, guilt and uncertainty is overbearing at times. I know for a fact that this kind of stress I am in would also take a toll on my physical health (hello ROS). So these days, crystal bowls are my best friends :)

I got myself two crystal bowls these past month - Note F for the heart and Note B for the Crown. I chose the heart because I have hypertension and I wanted something to support my heart. Then I got the crown one after since I wanted to help support my mental health. 

When I am lazy and would just love to lie down and listen, I play the Youtube videos from Healing Vibrations. Here’s something that you can listen to if you want to ease out stress. Just lie down, relax and release the tension in your body. Take note of you breathing and just let go. 



Let me know how you felt after listening to the sound. Did it make you feel more relaxed and at ease?

Sharing with you a self-portrait of myself back in 2008. This represents two of the best things that I enjoy doing - music and photography. I started playing the guitar when I was 14 years old, back in the days when being in a rock bad is cool :) 

Playing the guitar brings back random memories that I have. One memory that comes to my mind is a story that my mom told me. My papa used to play the guitar a lot and I once had an accident because he’s so into it, he didn’t notice that I have already fallen off my crib.. we I am OK and my dad is still my favorite hehe (at least now I don’t feel too guilty about the minor accidents that my kids had when they were younger). I miss my papa so much...

Another memory was about my friends who have patiently coached me when I was learning the guitar - shoutout to daddy Yubs (Side A’s new vocalist) and kuya Mike. They are the two people who have spent time teaching me (after begging them haha) and sharing me tricks around the guitar. I don’t think I would enjoy this instrument if they haven’t been so patient with me.. hehehe

Lastly, playing the guitar reminds me of Minnesota. That’s where I got my first Taylor and that particular day taught me that the Law of Attraction really works. Long before I went to the US, I have always dreamt of either owning a Taylor or a Martin but the chances of me getting one while in the Philippines is so low. Aside from not having the capacity to afford one, there isn’t a dealer/retailer here in the Philippines who can sell me one for a reasonable  price. I never gave up that dream and have always asked that someday i would have that chance to get myself one. So then I was assigned to Minnesota in 2011, and who would expect that I am able to get myself a Taylor 214ce. I then downsized to a limited edition Taylor GC Mini-e KOA FLTD made of Hawaiian koa. Don’t ask why I did but it was partially my husband who made me LOL Maybe I would tell about its story in another post. 

Anyway, I am just reminiscing so much about the past lately, not sure why but at times when I feel like asking myself where the universe wants to take me, I end up looking back, and it somewhat reminds me of how these events led to where I am at now. It made me more grateful and I worry less after. So at times, when you are feeling so down or just couldn’t find a reason to stay and be where you are now, look back to where you came from, maybe it would remind you of an important learning from your life and would give you motivation to go on. 

Do you have memories from the past that is so significant that your present has been greatly influenced by it? I would want to hear your stories too ;)

About me

About Me


Hello I am Cherry Ang but you can call me Miyo —and I’ve been blogging since 2007.

What started as a space to share my love for makeup and beauty has slowly, naturally, evolved into something deeper—something more reflective of who I’ve become.

Back then, I wrote about colors, textures, and finding confidence through creativity. Over the years, as life offered more lessons, more beauty (and sometimes more chaos), I began writing less about the surface and more about the soul. And in 2021, I felt the call to return to blogging—not just as a hobby, but as a way to offer something real, nourishing, and resonant.

This blog is where I share personal stories, reflections, energy insights, and the things I’m still learning. It’s a space for the sensitive, the curious, the deep-feeling hearts—those who want to explore the magic of everyday life through presence, ritual, and gentle remembrance of who we really are.

I work with tools like Reiki, angelic energy, essential oils, Gong Fu Cha and subtle spiritual practices that support emotional clarity, energetic protection, and soul-level alignment. I also share guided meditations, printable rituals, and customized healing tools for those who want to go deeper.

But at the core, I’m still that same writer—hoping that in sharing my experiences, I might inspire someone else to feel seen, safe, and reminded of their own light.

Thanks for being here. Whether you’re reading one post or walking alongside me for a while—I’m honored to share this space with you.
