About Her

By -


Blog by Jedde is a cozy home of woven words. It is filled with the freshness of the author's different life experiences; a safe haven that nurtures her raw thoughts and emotions where acceptance grows and it has a fun side to it too - for some of the author's exciting travels. It is a blog created for the old souls, the thinkers, the feelers, and the ordinary human beings who love to explore the beauty of spontaneity, uncertainty, and the depths of their thoughts.




This blog is created by Ms. Mary Jedde. She enjoys collecting journals and paper stationery. She likes the smell of books. Her hobby is not limited only to writing but also includes playing the guitar and on rare occasions, the piano. Her favorite fruit is mango. She is currently living in Singapore working as a Facilitator, her dream job. On her free time, she reads books, watches Avatar: The Legend of Aang, calls her family in Cebu, and spends time with her fiancé Alexander, eating out and gaming.




Her philosophy in life is to stay humble and grounded no matter how successful anyone is and have a heart that is filled with gratitude. She was taught at a young age to be thankful to God and have a strong faith in Him. She has one younger sister, Angel who is a teacher. Her mom and dad are awesome parents. Her dad cooks and her mom supports by eating. ;)




Style-wise, she prefers wearing comfortable shoes than high heels. Her fashion icons are Winnie Wong (of Penelope Pop) for a minimalist style and Her Royal Highness, Kate Middleton for a more classic style. Having a fast paced life, she enjoys comfort over style most of the time. She never goes out of the house without her hair tie, lip tint, phone, wallet and keys.




Ms. Mary Jedde is a woman filled with hope, love, and dreams because she surrounds herself with people who support her and motivate her to continue and move forward. She has finished a degree in Psychology at the University of San Carlos in Cebu, Philippines. With her desire to learn more, she furthered her education in Singapore and took up a higher-level degree - a Graduate Diploma in Applied Positive Psychology.




Not so much into fitness, her first attempt to be mindful and be attuned with her body is through Pilates. She enjoys the level of challenge and the mind-body connection that Pilates brings. She has been actively attending Pilates classes at the Pilates MVMT.



Whenever she travels, she always loves to wake up early to watch the sunrise. She appreciates the beauty of flowers and the world around her. Her goal of creating Blog by Jedde is to cultivate a deeper sense of appreciation for our inner selves - through self-reflection, self-care, interaction with others, traveling, and being kind - and allow it to transcend outwardly. Whoever you are, whatever you do in life, you are most welcome here in this space.

With love,

The author of this blog is plain and simple. She thinks mostly of the usual things - life, love, beauty. She enjoys the basic necessities like food, warmth, blankets, and music. She gets thrilled with the idea of an adventure but doesn't really like to go on one, unless her spontaneity kicks in. She's got a fire in her belly most days, but enjoys the leisure of being in bed at the same time. Odd. Weird. Plain. Simple. Mary Jedde. An old soul, a lifelong learner, and a flourishing human being.

Silent Surrenders

By -

"You are expected to be the strong one; the unbreakable. The always on the go, always successful,  always the one who knows where she's heading. But what they don't know about are your silent surrenders. When your mind shuts down because it's too full. Full of worries. Full of uncertainties. Full of insecurities and doubts. You break down and quietly give up. They don't know about it and you don't talk about it. And the day goes on and on and on. With your loud victories and your silent surrenders. Close your eyes. Count the stars. Get lost in a galaxy far away. Imagine its vastness, think of its depth. And when your tears fall,  let them disperse into tiny diamonds. When it's become too heavy to carry, and you're on the verge of whispering that you're tired, know that you  can make diamonds from the tears in your eyes. And your brilliance can rest when the moon appears tonight. Just let the night embrace you tight." Written by: Mary Jedde

A Short Story: One Thing I Learned from Failing is that I Love Learning

Jedde, Fourth-Year High School, Year 2011 Photo from: Steven Tan An achiever - this sums up my identity in my younger years.  In high school, I've consistently strove to earn myself a place in the honor's list - a highly coveted recognition given to exemplary students, so to speak. Submitting projects on time, actively raising my hand, studying enough to ace my exams. All of these worked for me. In fact, during our quarterly recognition, my name would often be in the top ten list and I would feel proud of myself.  To put a little context to this story, I studied in a Science-Math curriculum school - Mandaue City Science High School. The pressure is high. Passing grade is 85. Below that grade, a possibility awaits for you to transfer to another school because you're unable to maintain the grade requirements.  So I planted in my mind that I must work hard to remain studying in my school; and to push that goal even further, I told myself that I'm going to be an honor stude

One Last Candy and Then A Bunch

I never thought that a single candy can teach me an important life lesson. But it did, and I would like to share that story with you today. It happened one afternoon while I was in a cab. I was exhausted after a long day under the sun, working, facilitating, and running around the warm wide space of Sentosa in Singapore. I could recall feeling heavy and fatigued. It wasn't just because of the heat but also because of the challenges I had to solve that same day that drained me out. I was on my way back to the office, along with an assistant staff and the ride was not as comfortable as I would have wanted it to be. The exhaustion paired with feeling famished made my stomach growl. It was then that I remembered something that made me look forward to finding it. I had saved one last candy inside my bag! So, I searched for it sluggishly but as eagerly as I could until I found it, tucked inside one of the pockets. I took out the candy, ready to rip it open and enjoy the much-needed sugar
