At the start of last year, some people were worried because they conisdered seven as a bad number and thus came all these horrible predictions of a bad or “malas” year. For Christians, however, seven has its own positive significance. It took God seven days to complete all his creation. By the seventh day, God [...]

Isn’t it nice to go to the mall on a weekday (excluding holidays)? It’s like, you have the mall all to yourself! Especially when you get there at the dull hours of the afternoon or early in the morning, it would only be you and the sales people. Haha!
You can go to any store [...]

He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces, he was despised, and we esteemed him not. — Isaiah 53: 2,3

I know winter’s just about to come. Some people are actually looking forward to it but for me, it’s been winter since six months ago. Every night I try my best to escape on having to deal with the pain of ending another day with nothing. But I guess if I would have to see [...]

I woke up and yet I stayed in bed for at least the next 30 minutes. I didn’t want to get out of bed, or my room and face reality. Sometimes, it’s weird how I would rather choose to remain in my misery than go out of the cave where the light calls. It’s like [...]

I do. I thought, just as most people when things are running well, that hey, I don’t really fear it. And that just as experts would say, we need it so we would truly appreciate success later on. Or that it simply builds character, humility, for instance. And many more.
But then here I am, no [...]

Naked in the desert—stripped off of everything “valued and valuable” in this world. Only then can one know what truly matters, what is the most essential of all.
I have it! I have it! I have what’s needed!
It’s a great favor and honor to have learned this, this early.
It’s easy for people to say you [...]

Growing up surrounded with the constant love and support of my parents and family bred me to become a very dependent person. Though I’ve pretty much established myself as the “reliable” one and counselor to my friends, I was blessed to have one best friend, whom I depend on.
And now she’s not talking. Again. I [...]

Today marks the sixth year of the biggest decision that I deeply regret for the longest time. It was only a year ago that I’ve totally let go of that regret and all the “little regrets” that came along with it.
All of us are planting something in our lives every single day, whether we realize [...]

I want to forever remember this season of my life. For time reference, it’s from June of last year when I had my first full time job until the present when I’m currently jobless. I want to write about it before it’s over. Well, I’m believing that it will be over soon and a new [...]
