Amidst the pandemic, let us all reflect on the sacrifices of our Saviour this Holy Week. As we pray and kneel, let us also utter a prayer for those who serve as our saviors for this crisis. Let us stay in the confine of our homes, repent for the sins we committed, be grateful for the blessings and pray for a hopeful tomorrow. Have a blessed and safe Holy Week everyone... GOOD MORNING!๐โ

WELCOME APRIL! May this month bring us hope and new life. May it shower us with blessings and seeds of faith as we continue to face the challenges of this life. May it bring us the cure to sicknesses, light to our hearts and peace to our minds. Flowers will bloom, and so will our lives again...๐๐บ
If you're in a position to help someone. Help them. God may just be answering that person's prayer through you. Cheers to all answered prayers! ๐๐๐
Every decision we make has a corresponding reality. We choose our reality. Now, if you are in the middle of confusion and you need to make a choice, try to imagine the reality that goes along with it. What reality are you choosing for yourself? Sometimes, all we have to do is to tell ourselves, "Enough is enough. Stop avoiding and start making a decision." Choose what is actually good for you, not for anyone else. It will follow, I tell you. You just really need to feel goodโฆ
Look at the behavior. Don't listen to words. Words are empty. As the cliche goes, "actions speaks louder than words."
Most of the time, whenever we are facing a difficult situation, people will tell us to BE STRONG. But, as human beings, we cannot be strong all the time. We have limitations, both physically and emotionally. Yes, there will be a time that we will feel weak and vulnerable, but that is absolutely fine. You don't have to be strong all the time. Stop acting like you are so strong and invulnerable especially when deep inside you feel otherwise. Allow people to see yourโฆ

Stop repressing your emotions. All emotions are validโjoy, sadness, anger, disgust, fear. Let your trusted people see within you. Bottling your emotions will only destroy you. Feel them. Process them. Use them. Use your emotions to be better, stronger, and wiser. Be weak. Sometimes, allowing ourselves to be weak makes us a lot stronger. Accepting that you have weaknesses is a strength. Carry on. You will make it, puhon...

Always hope for the best but prepared for the worst. Take whatever comes in. Sometimes, great things also happen in between of the best and the worst...
Sometimes, we are unaware of how great a person we are. Some of you are unaware of just how amazing you are the way you make people laugh, lift others up or spread some extra love. You do this even though you are struggling too and I think that makes you such a beautiful person. And the world is not as beautiful as it is without you in it. You are amazing!
Don't forget to thank Him before you sleep. For the life given to you. For the people who believe in you. For the opportunities and chances that went your way. It may be a challenging day, week, year, or life, but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't be grateful for the blessings we receive every day. Thank you, Lord ๐ Start your day with hope, end it with thanks... GOODNIGHT ๐ด๐
Jesus Christ is the epitome of selfless love that is never scared to sacrifice for the greater good. May we all live with this idea of love and reimagine our mindset about it. Have a blessed and safe Good Friday everyone... GOOD MORNING! ๐โ

This verse remind us that no matter how gigantic are problems are and how fearful they may make us feel, we should be consoled by the fact the God is on our side. That He will not abandon us in times of hopelesness. He is the Saviour. We shall fear no one... ๐
Father God sacrified His only begotten Son so the world can be saved from its sins. That is the reason why it's called the Good Friday. ๐๏ธ

You will not always be a priority to others. That is why you have to be a priority to yourself. Be your own support system. Do not wait for others to choose you. Choose yourself today! Choosing yourself is not selfish. It's self-care...

Work hard in silence. Not everyone is happy to see you win. Do not allow insecure people to hamper with negativity your motivation to succeed. Just surprise them with the results and let your success make the noise...
People are always out to prove something to other people- human nature I guess. The minute I stopped worrying about peopleโs opinions of me, thatโs when I realised I have more control and I feel more powerful. At the end of the day, people will still judge you anyway. Truth be told, living our life on our own terms has kept us grounded in achieving our longterm goals. Indeed, our best competition is only the person that stares us back in the mirror!

Holy Saturday was a moment of grief for everyone. It taught us reality. That there will be dark days for us. But in the process of pain and sorrow, that is when our faith must be unwavering. Better days will come... Have a blessed and safe Holy Saturday everyone. GOOD MORNING! ๐โ
This is a very timely verse to reflect on. The world is experiencing so many hardships and there are still people who are getting poorer, becoming voiceless, being abused and are victimized by our system. If we can stand for them in times that they feel weak and hopeless, this world will be a better place to live on. The seed of light will evoke the sense of love, unity and compassion which we all need right now...
Don't let the standards of this world define you, your definition only needs to resonate with yourself...
Quitting is for winners too. Thing is, there are things that are meant for us and things that are not. While we continue chasing after people and things that aren't meant for us, we might be overlooking the ones reserved for us. The ones deserving for our time, effort and energy. I am afraid to say this, but I guess in some point of our lives we have to learn how to give up. Learn how to let go of the things and people that have exhausted and wasted you. You deserve more.โฆ

Some people look for distractions to escape their problems and issues. While that may help you for a while, it will not help you solve your problem. It just prolongs your agony and delays your progress. Distractions never solve your problems, stop looking for them. Instead try to assess the situation, reflect, plan and solve your problems. Although this is hard to do sometimes, try to focus on your goal and stop getting distracted by the small things that have nothing to doโฆ
Holy Saturday is the last day of Lent and of the Holy Week. We commemorate the day when Christ's followers held a vigil outside his tomb. This is a reminder that when we become united in the darkness days of our lives, we, with Him will also united when the better days turn reality...๐๏ธ๐
In life, we are always told to just keep going. However, time will come when we need to pause for a while, reevaluate the steps that we have taken and reroute if needed. Sometimes pausing redirect us to a better path. Indeed there is a power in pausing. It gives you time to think, assess and reflect. In this world where everyone is in a rush, people tend to forget how peaceful it is to pause for a while and cherish every single moment. Life is not a race, it is a journey.โฆ
Don't let money run your life. Let money help you run your life better...
A lot of people pathetically run after something or someone that is not meant for them. Be it a job, a role in a play, a scholarship opportunity or even a person that they like. We exert all our time, effort, and energy just to get the things and people that we want but still they are out of reach. We have exhausted all possible means but we never get them. Maybe, giving up is not bad after all. Sometimes, if you are already all worn out and tired chasing after people andโฆ

When the world is in sorrow, grief and immense sadness, He will rise. Easter Sunday is a sign of hope for all of us that there is life, and that life must be lived by giving praise and thank to Him as well as loving our fellows. It also signifies a bright future ahead of us in the middle of these trying times. Our faith must not relinquish against odds, instead, be strengthened by them.

In this very tough and doubting time, your support to your family and friends can go a very long way. Be their number 1 fan. Listen to their ideas, buy what they are selling if you can, celebrate their success, remind them of their worth when they are down and most of all love them.

Tired? Sleep early. Out of shape? Exercise more. Don't have the time? Quit watching tv. Don't have money? Spend only on needs. Seems too complicated? Start small and try. Don't have the knowledge?

Every success in life starts with a decision. It is all a matter of "starting now" or "procrastinating again." Will you start now and commence the Day 1 of your journey or will you suspend again your plans for one more day? You decide. The start is always the most difficult part of any journey. However, once you begin to learn how to jive with it, everything else will become easier. If you will not start today, then when? Make a decision now and start working towards yourโฆ
Life is not all about money. Work for something more than just money. Work for something bigger and bolder than you currently are. Work at your dreams. Work on yourself.

Dont let your "what ifs" kill your dreams. Sometimes, thoughts like that will actually come. That you are questioning the future even if it hasn't happened yet. We already have negative scenarios in our brain which leads to us not trying anymore, or us being terrified of change.

It's okay to disconnect yourself for a while to appreciate the beauty of nature and be one with it. It's okay to find peace alone. It's okay to give yourself some space to breathe.

Everyone has their own fair share of struggles in life. Nobody in this world faces no problem. However, many people see struggles as opportunities.

Success differs from person to person, and must define your own. You don't have to panic because no step is too small, no learning is too small. It all matters because it all makes you better.

Remove the panic, the worry, the regret, the frustration and the sadness. And reserve the space fpr growth and happiness...
Unhappiness is not shame. It can even be a good thing. It can be a reflection of your desire to improve things and end suffering around you. It is not equivalent to weakness or unworthiness. Try giving it a different name, like "purpose" or "mission " or "direction" and you'll probably find out that there's nothing wrong with you. And that what you have is a reason to keep moving forward and live life...
There will always be reasons to be jealous. There will always be someone better. But, there's only one person who can be you, and that is yourself. Do not base your happiness on achievements, status, or on what others think of you but on how beautiful it is to be and to love your unique self...
Whether you think you are a failure or you feel absolutely happy, always remember that where you are now is not where you will always be.

Because your actions now shape your tomorrow...
It may be hard to believe when everything had hurt you and seems to be leaving. But truly, you'll get to where good things will stay.

So let what needs to leave leave. But know that what are yet to come are better and they will stay. Good things will stay...

And I realized that one of the hurtful things that we do is forcing someone to overcome their fears, like telling them that "It was so easy, why can't you do it? Everybody can do it." It is hurtful because it can give us a sense that we are stupid, weak and wrong. When the truth is, most of the time our fears are irrational. Most of the time, we don't understand why we are afraid even though weโฆ
Create a space for your self where you are free to commit mistakes. Many times it is in the presence of mistakes and in the absence of pressure that we find ourselves better... GOOD MORNING! ๐โ

CARPE DIEM. Live fully. Live immediately. Do the things you can. And the things you worry you can't. Stay inspired. Stay alight. Make the best out of your time. So at the end of the day, you wouldn't say "Life is too short." Cause life has always been long enough, if you lived it. If you didn't let it slip away...
When happiness fades, don't blame yourself nor think it is your mistake. Even the most beautiful rainbows end. Even the grandest stars explode into supernova. That's how life is. Endings are not a curse, they give meaning. And happiness isn't life, it's just part of it...
The flow of life is continuous. When one door closes another opens. When one person says goodbye, another comes. When the sun sets, the moon rises. Life is a cycle of coming and going, non stop changing. Sometimes, as loving and feeling beings that can be painful. But we need to accept. We need to adapt. Because that's our number one purpose as humans, to live life...

Instead of finding what you lack, find what have an abundance of. Instead of shrinking in a quicksand of endless insecurities, rise to the sky with your infinite love, beauty and stories. It's what we explore that lead us to our happiness... GOOD MORNING! ๐โ
Don't judge yourself through the eyes of others. They don't see all your struggles, all your scars and all your parts that are still healing. Through your eyes, see your efforts in becoming better. And see that if you feel small, it's probably because there are still so much space you can grow to. And you can start exploring now...
At times when our life seems to be in its worst chapter, we should always go back to the small signs of hope and blessings He has always showered us with. The air that we breathe, the eyes that helps us envision our future, the people who stay with us in the darkest hours, and the life God has given us. These small things, are messages from above to remind us that there is still hope. Despite of our struggles in life, we should always be grateful for the blessings andโฆ
We leave toxic people for a reason. However, there will come a time when we want to reconnect with them just because we are sad and desperate for the connection. Sometimes, too much loneliness and happiness for that matter drives us to make crazy decisions. But hey, everyone gets lonely and reconnecting with the people who once hurt you will not make you truly happy. Before you allow toxic people to become a part of your life again, think a million times. Do they deserve aโฆ
The negative feelings you try to avoid, one day you'll realize that they are all part of the process of being happy and living life. The disappointments, the pressure, the heartaches, the regrets- as you grow you'll find out that they aren't actually hindrances or thieves of your happiness but rather pathways to your better happiness. So embrace them. Not in the way that you recklessly ram into them but in a way that when they come you do not get broken....
At some point, you have to disregard whatever others have to say. Not everyone can be strong. Not everyone can be kind. Not everyone can forgive, and love, and live and it's okay if sometimes it is you. We all have different kinds of pain. And it is not right for you to feel weak for not being able to do what other's can, what other's have shown or what other's have said. The world tells us so many things to be. I want you to know that listening is a great strength, butโฆ

You can move from here towards growth and healing. You can spend everyday in attempt to be better. Your improvement is your choice and only yours. Nobody else has a say in that... GOOD MORNING, HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FRIDAY! ๐โ
When someone treats you like you're just one of their many options, help them narrow their choices by removing yourself from the equation. Sometimes, you have to try not to care, no matter how much you do. Because sometimes, you can mean almost nothing to someone who means so much to you. It's not pride, it's self-respect.Don't give past-time people a full-time position in your life. Know your value and what you have to offer. Never settle for anything less than what youโฆ
I think we all go through hard lessons. We all struggles learning something. And I think it's important to remind ourselves and others that it is not because we are stupid, weak or failures. But simply because we are humans with a lot of imperfections and differences. Having a hard time applying or mastering you know about- like loving yourself, letting go our insecurities, improving habits is normal and it's okay to take your time...
Know what you really deeply want. Then shout it in your mind. Do it. Go after it. No matter how big the cost is and no matter how big the doubt is. Because at the end of our times, it's not about how many things we've lost or how many things came back. It's about if we gave enough love and courage to satisfy our hearts....
Success usually starts with the brave decision that you can do it...
Tiredness will come when we chase what we love. There are consequences for the risks we take. Failures will happen and disappointments will be felt. But don't be disheartened by these pains. Do not treat these as equal to unhappiness but rather an opportunity for us to grow. A newly opened door can be hurtful to the eyes, but it let us get out of darkness....
Your dreams will save you. I wish you hold onto it wherever you go in this life. Make it bigger than yourself so that no darkness could take over you. Believe in it and it will give you power. Live for it, it will give you life... GOODNIGHT ๐ด๐
In time when loving yourself is a struggle, may you remember that you are a work in progress. This is not your final form... HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE! GOOD MORNING๐โ
To find answers, you have to take risks. You'll go through a lot of trial and errors, and trial and errors is the opposite of safety and comfort. If thoughts keep running and risks keep coming, maybe it's because you are finding answers- and it is uncomfortable because you are doing it the rigjt way...
Have you experienced hurt on a higher level caused by someone? If they ask for forgiveness, forgive them for your peace of mind but you do not have to reconnect with them. Not letting someone to reconnect with you after they hurt you does not mean you are holding grudges- it only means you respect and protect yourself from being hurt again. There are people who deserve second chances and there are people who do not. But at the end of the day, it is your decision whether youโฆ

"I'm tired" in other words mean things have been too difficult, you're working on a multiple problems at the same time and that you are just human who needs to recharge. "I'm tired" in other words mean you're trying to be better, solving things and continuously choosing to go further. So appreciate yourself for that. The assurance that you'll get through your struggles is this: YOU'RE TRYING. Each time you try, you get stronger amd each time you get tired, you becomeโฆ

There are time that we are eaten by doubt and all the negativities around us that we forget to believe. Moments like this will test our faith on Him, but let us all remember that if we believe and ask for things through prayer, they will snap into reality.

Everything is just a quick, fluttering moment then it is gone. So seize it and enjoy it while it lasts. At the end of the day we just want fulfillment and that can be achieved when we do our best and love to the fullest...
When you find yourself wallowing in isolation, shutting people off or avoiding communication- fight it. Do not take everything by yourself. Share the regrets and speak your frustrations. Let somebody listen to you even if they can't hand you the advice you seek or understand you the way you need, it still helps. To stop feeling crashing down, we have to connect...
You know what's not good about some people? They do not mean what they say. Please, always say what you mean and mean what you say. Let your actions match your words. If you can't practice what you preach, change your speech. The world is tired of people whose words are empty- empty promises, empty speeches and empty principles. Let your actions preach loudly than your lips. Walk the talk. If you can't, just stop talking...
I think we'll always be on the verge of our dreams. Daunted and tormented by it. In a constant battle against doubt, frustration and never ending self-question. I think we are so brave. That no matter how tired or lost we feel, we continue. Because we want our purposes be served and our love be poured out...

God already planned what is going to happen to us today, for the next hour, days or even years. He determined where we will be, who we will become and whywe will be in such place.

Respect, like love, knows no age, status, seniority and relationship. It is something that we can give to anyone who deserves it no matter who they are. Don't expect people to respect you just because you are older than them. Thing is, everyone has a need to be respected so make sure you give others the respect that you would like in return. Remember, respect is for those who deserve it and not for those who demand it. Learn to let go of disrespectful people. As Tere Edwardsโฆ
Emotions are very tricky. Most of the time, we are biased on ourselves. Whenever you are hurt or offended by someone or something, try to pause for a while and process your emotions before you react. Being offended or hurt does not equate to being right. You may be hurt and wrong at the same time and that's okay. What's not okay is telling people they're wrong just because your feelings were hurt. Be matured enough to admit that sometimes you are responsible of your ownโฆ
Sometimes, people, including ourselves, would not understand or appreciate why we are the way we are. And sometimes it can make us feel bad. But, as I learned from my experiences, we must not treat our traits as if they are hindrances to enjoying life... May God's love surround you and your family. Good evening everyone๐
In times you get impatient with things that are unfolding slow. Just think that perhaps it is life's way of being gentle. Just like how flower blooms, many beautiful things happen not by force... GOODNIGHT ๐ด๐
There are infinite things that we cannot overcome but we shouldn't overlook the fact that there are also things that we can do and we should at least try.

We can and we'll start by doing things that we can do and not letting the things that we cannot- to stop us... GOOD MORNING! HAVE A LOVELY DAY... ๐โ
I think we all have been there. Scared because we don't know what's waiting. Asking what if it's worse. Afraid to lose what we are currently have. But then we have to remember, we'll only know what life has to offer when we explore places we've never been to. We've got so much to learn and so much to grow. We have to brave out, get out of our comfort zone, embrace uncertainty. The best life we wish to live do not stay in just one place...

When I attended a house trip in San Rafael Bulacan last month, I felt that this is the kind of home I look forward to for my family. The moment I wake up in the morning, a safe space that can spring both sense of togetherness and exclusivity in times I want to be untethered to the world... PUHON๐

Hi @Maryknoll, thank you for this beautiful Bayong bag and cadbury chocolate.

A sincere apology has three parts: ๐นI am sorry. ๐นIt is my fault. ๐นWhat can I do to make it right? Apologizing is a life skill that we should all learn.

Went to a grocery near home this morning when I heard the song "In My Life" by The Beatles playing in the background. I sang along under my breath whilst handling over my stuff to the man on the counter. Then I heard an old man not too far away from me singing joyfully, feeling nostalgic with the song. I couldn't explain what I felt, but for some unknown reasons, my tears rolled down without me even knowing. I find it strange, one of my very very emotional scenarios I haveโฆ

I received a call from my cousin from my father side, asking me if I can buy her a new cellphone. I told her that I'll just give her my old phone but she refused because she prefers a new one. The thing about some kids these days, aside from being too emotional, they're too demanding and materialistic. They demand you to give them this or that without proving that they are worthy enough to get a reward. In order for you to learn the value of something, you must know you haveโฆ
