Growing old is not always synonymous to growing up. I admit, hindi kasing bilis ng pagtanda ko ang pagmamature ko. Kaya naman pakiramdam ko, I have a lot of catching up to do. But when I am finally starting to notice my progress, I am also having a higher tendency to become self-righteous. And the…
Karaniwan na yung pagrereflect, pagbabalik-tanaw, at pananalanging puno ng pag-asa kapag nagsasara ang current year at papabukas ang panibagong taon. Pero kahit na parang ang common na o ang corny na nga kung iisipin minsan, doing these practices can still be somehow helpful for me to properly process things inside my head which is essential…
5 years na pala. ❤ This made me look back to December 14, 2015. First day of work. Napakabigat ng loob ko. Napakaraming bagong information na kailangang matutunan in a very short span of time. That week, I wasn't sure if I can do this. But I thought, "If I cannot do this, then what…
Lately, I notice that I have been having unhealthy thoughts and feeling spiritually dry. I have been trying to pray, but I easily get distracted. I thought it must have been that ‘time of the month’ kasi halos every month naman akong nakakaranas ng ganitong pakiramdam. But I should know better. It may be more…
Upon knowing the Truth, we may have the tendency to become self-righteous and condemning toward those who (we think) do not know and share this Truth.

The first part of Katy Perry's song, "Roar" described so accurately how I used to be before it dawned on me that I've had enough. And I've got no one else to blame but myself. (If the following content will somehow resonate with you, I hope you will learn something here) I have just been…
I often hear others say, "Count your blessings". In my young mind, I thought my blessings are too many to count, so I didn't bother to count at all. LOL! Jinustify pa ang katamaran! 🤣 But growing up, I eventually realize the purpose and the benefits of being more mindful of the graces and the…
It was last year when who used to be a good friend of mine had beaten me up and wounded me emotionally and spiritually. That was when I got to understand better what it means to set healthy boundaries and to let God fight and finish my battles that are ultimately His. Having to (sort…
I just watched a movie on Netflix called, "God's Not Dead" and I was so touched by the humble boldness of the lead character who chose to defend to his Philosophy professor that God is not dead. I can't imagine being in the same situation that he was. With all the pressure coming from all…
For several years, I had wrestled with the feeling of having the need to be just like everybody else while struggling to get out of my shell, wanting to show the world who I really am. I was wondering why I wasn’t able to do it easily. Bakit kahit alam ko na yung gusto kong…
