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…

Kaya siguro may mga pagkakapareho kami ng ugali…

A mother may get tired and sick, but she never stops working and taking care of everybody. She may yell at times but her heart never stops whispering how much she loves her children. She may not always feel that she is appreciated, but I hope that today, she will.
