Maturity is when you stop pleasing people. When you notice the change, accept it, no more drama, no more fights. Just walk away with a smile.  Connection in any form and trust are the foundation of a strong and healthy relationship.   Reading books is very relevant in this social media era. Even as technology advances, demand on uniquely human skills is increasing (listening skills, attention to detail & attentiveness, effective communication, critical thinking, interpersonal skills, active learning) yet reading can help developing all these skills.    Surround yourself with people who care about you more than just themselves. There's always going to be someone out there that can't stand you. Rather than worry about it, surround yourself with positive and genuine friends. Some people do not know how to resolve conflicts and are afraid to be left alone so they will rather keep quiet and play safe when there is an issue without talking it out and finding the solution. Do not

  I cooked pork humba for lunch. It tasted awesome.(Humble brag) My niece even always requests me to cook it for her. 🤭 Humba is braised pork with salted black beans and is great with hot steamed rice.😋 I also accidentally cooked yum garlic tuna pasta. I feel so powerful! 🤣

Ang jejemon ko sa part na ito. Pero isa sa mga activities sa church noong 2008, 14 years ago, pinasulat kami ng speaker ng love letter para sa future husband namin. That time wala pa akong boy friend. Noong naging kami ni Pao, I gave that letter to him noong 1st year Anniv namin. There, he kept and took care of it pala.  Then 2020, hindi ako binigo ni Lord, pinagkatiwala Niya ang future ko sa taong ito.  I got engaged to my best friend and the love of my life and I am over the moon. 🤍 

 One year past of our togetherness. My husband's love is the strongest and truest. I feel blessed and grateful to God for giving him to me as my partner in life.  I am so proud to be his wife. This past year, he and what we have been building together have had proven to be a blessing beyond my wildest dreams.  It's been a year since we were very busy preparing for our most awaited matrimony. We even made everything aesthetic and worth sacrificing for.  Here are some photos of our preparations:    There are a lot of things that happened after our wedding... It's hard to believe it's already been a year. It's been a year of joy, laughter, and love. It's been an epic ride but i could not imagine spending this roller coaster ride with anyone else. I am so thankful for our first amazing year together as husband and wife.  God has been faithful and I am so grateful to that.  One year down, a lifetime to go! Happy first wedding anniversary to my hardworking husband, Pa

  My hubby and I bought our first ever car. We made sure to have its safe haven and be used wherever we wanna chill out to. Music optional. Oh, and pets.  It's amazing therapy. Paolo and I would just drive around and outside the city, and enjoy nature from the AC filled comfort of our car, lol! 🥰🫰🏼 Before this decision has been done, and finalizing into buying; we thought a lot and did a lot of prayers and asked guidance from above. Thank You, Lord for all the blessings! 🥰✨

  I grew up without knowing how to cook. So, making this chopseuy is I consider one of my milestones. It is not so easy to start from scratch, but because I love what I’m doing and I love whom I’m doing this for, everything is achievable. To more dishes to cook. 🥰✨

 Ang salitang KUMUSTA ay nanggaling sa salitang espanyol na “Como Esta” na ang ibig sabihin ay pagtatanong ng iyong kalagayan ngayon. Maraming kayang gawin ang salitang KUMUSTA. Pwedeng baguhin ng isang simpleng "kumusta ka" ang nararamdaman at iniisip ng mga tao sa paligid mo.  Baka may hinaharap silang problema at gusto na nilang sumuko subalit dahil nagtanong ka, naging okay at gumaan ang pakiramdam nila. Salamat sa PUSO mo! Pero ngayon, Ikaw? Kumusta ka? ❤

  John 15:1-8 New International Version John 15:1-8 15  “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.   2  He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit,   while every branch that does bear fruit   he prunes   so that it will be even more fruitful.   3  You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.   4  Remain in me, as I also remain in you.   No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5  “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.   6  If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.   7  If you remain in me   and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.   8  This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. —  Nothing in the

Allowing ONE PERSON — who is convicted and proven to be incompetent is one of the reasons why i really don’t trust the justice system in the Philippines. When Supreme Court makes decisions do not base for political reasons but only for the good our nation, this maybe commendable. Having a good governance is having a good trial decision. However in this trial, everything is like a joke, series of sitcom, or comedy where people were hoping and waiting for a good results but most of the time people wait for nothing. Even how many times people in the power try hard to conceal, it is really visible that they cover themselves from corruption. If the government wants to remove an impeachable officer for lack of "integrity" for failure to file SALN a ten years ago, then why it can’t remove another impeachable public officer for consistently undermining our victory in Philippines over modern conquerors for lack of "competence, integrity, probity, and freedom”? Aside from focusing

Ang kasalanan ay parang credit card: enjoy now, pay later.

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. ( James 1:19 )   Notice how the word "all" is used?  No one is immune. It just takes the perfect storm for a personal situation to put us over the edge.  Before you feel justified to say something damaging, remember this verse. And if you're on the receiving end, be "quick" to forgive and "slow" to resent.

To the person who stayed with me even at my worst, thank you. 🥺 3 months ago, Paolo and I had our covenant in front of our God and it was witnessed by our loved ones. I can’t  believe how lucky I am to be married to my best friend. 🥰 We’ve waited for 8 years so we can officially become each other’s home. We can now travel together, eat out more, go home late, sleep on each other's arms, and do whatever we want to do without restrictions.  I am forever grateful to God that He has brought an unbelievable person into my life. I feel very blessed that I tied a knot to my favorite person in the world. We have had an extremely challenging years together yet he has been a rock throughout.  I have been dreaming about this, and everything is gradually turning to reality.  I am forever thankful to our family and friends who have been our supporters and prayer warriors. No words can express how thankful we are to you. We love you so much. May all the love and happiness you give, equally com
