Valentine’s 2022
Today is the anniversary of the most emotional letter I have written for you by far, and it is Valentine’s yet again. After that night that I cried heaps and missed you without even knowing you yet, I kept asking for you. I kept hoping and I tell you, I did until the last quarter…

Pondering Home, Pondering You
Past 10pm and I am staring blankly at the roof of my side of the bunk bed. This is when I just thought of how beautiful it is to know one day that someone prayed and asked for you. One day when you are openly sharing stories with someone you just tell people about (way…

This is where I bid goodbye
I find my mind often drawing a blank lately; and I decided to use this space to document this and look back that I had moments like this. I refer to these moments when I want to tell a lot of things but my mind is just too tired to put those stories into just…

Doon sa hindi nauubos
New normal. Kasama na sa “new normal” ko simula nung lumipat kami dito sa probinsya ang pag-iigib ng tubig sa gabi. Ganito sa probinsya namin eh, mahina ang tubig; kaya gabi bago umakyat ang tubig sa second floor. Isang gabi napansin ko ang sarili kong nababalisa habang pinagsasabay ko ang pagpapahid ng skin care at…

Jehovah Jireh
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 ESV EVERY need, my friend. Every need. The same God who has provided manna for forty years is the same faithful God that will provide for us. Rest your soul, free your mind and…

To the anxious one
Dear strong one, I know it’s been long since you enjoyed the gentle brushes of the wind during an afternoon walk. You must have been missing coffee breaks with your constant coffee buddies by now. The unplanned date nights with someone special. That surprise call and quick drive to somewhere you can cry your heart…
