Hey There, Welcome to my Blog

I'm Andi Griffiths, a digital content provider and freelance communications consultant from the beautiful Republic of the Philippines (proud Filipina). I like flowers, coffee, and anything creative. 

​

This website started as an online diary that has evolved into a lifestyle blog with fresh, original content. All articles are my own unless stated otherwise.

​

Apart from sharing a few personal things, I intend to inform or provide inspiration with every post. Your time is valuable, and that's one of the reasons why I do my best to make the entries as insightful as I can.

​

I hope you find something that suits your interest or curiosity. 

It's nice to have you here, and again, welcome!

​

Make sure to check out the planner printables on the homepage. You can download them for free!

​

Well, what else can I say? No hate, just love 💖

See you when I see you; if, for some reason, our paths cross.

Let's Get Acquainted

For starters, I'm an ambivert; I'm cool with spending time alone or enjoying the company of others. I'm a simple and easy-going person. I like sensible (or sometimes just random) conversations over coffee.
 

I was born and raised in Pasig City but have also lived in South Luzon, where I attended university. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Major in Public Relations from DLSU-D.
 

Music is my first love. It was a big part of my life when I was a gigging musician who performed original songs at local bars back in the day (I miss those days, I've become so rusty and couldn't even play now lol).
 

What Else? Hmm..,

I love cooking for my family, reading books, and shopping for stationery items. I also love karaoke and snacks. 

​

My favorite color is Purple, but I like to wear clothes in Earthy hues (forest Green, mustard Yellow, Beige, etc.). 

 

There may be a lot of things that I share on this blog, but I keep far more things private.

Memento Vivere | What's w/the Blog Name?

There comes a point in a person’s life when one realizes what the phrase "life is short" truly means. 

 

This realization can be the effect of a life-changing event, a period of reflection, or a series of simple moments that emphasize how time does not stop for anyone. As for me, it was kind of all of those things.

 

I renamed my blog from A Sanctuary of Thoughts to Memento Vivere because I like what the words stand for.

The phrase is also a great way to remind ourselves to live and not just exist.

 

Embrace the highs and lows. Keep growing.

Let your light shine. Let magic happen.

​

Do what you love and what makes your heart happy.

Memento Vivere. Remember to live 💖

​

That's it for now. Thanks again for being here, I appreciate it.
