Isa siguro sa pinaka-unrealistic na part ng mga Pinoy movies, at least for me, ay yung naghahanda ang kasambahay ng sangkatutak na almusal na parang fiesta, tapos pagbaba ng anak galing sa hagdanan, pagpunta ng kusina iinom lang ng orange juice, hindi pa mauubos. Male-late na daw kasi siya sa school. Sino ngayon kakain ng mga pancakes, hotdogs, bacon, mga prutas na kulang na lang pang-New Year na, tsaka ng fried rice? Sobrang sayang! Di ba magagalit si mam at ser? Aksaya sa…

When Saying NO to Others Means Saying YES to Yourself I was asked to translate in Tagalog the discipleship material we're using in church. After assessing the content, I did not hesitate to accept the task. I thought I can finish it before 2021 ends. However, I was overwhelmed with my overlapping duties and personal errands that I failed to deliver the translation. Though it was just a personal deadline and there were no consequences on my part, I still felt bad about it. As…

Trust His Heart Wednesday evening, my mother complained about the discomforts she felt on her body. There was numbness on her feet up to her knees, and headaches as well. At first, we suspected it was her uric acid spiking since I too have gouty arthritis. Since we are eating almost the same food at home, might as well, we have the same issue. But to be sure as soon as the morning came, we sent her to be checked up. We found out that her discomforts were due to her high…
Just poured a bit of my heart on this one. "Just trust the process." Growth doesn't happen in bliss and celebrations, it happens when there are struggles. But when the process seems too ridiculous to put your trust into, "truth the Person behind the process." He knows what He's doing. https://read.cash/@Marts/trust-his-heart-47bbcdba
Life is complicated if we look at it that way. But it also offers simple pleasures if we pause and be mindful of the things around us. Marami naman talagang dapat ipagpasalamat kung tutuusin. An attitude of gratitude not only changes our mood, but our perspective as well. Piliing hanapin ang mabuti sa bungkos ng masama. Hanapin ang maganda sa mga bawat takot at pangamba. Katulad ng bahaghari tuwing tumitila ang ulan, may hatid na pag-asa ang buhay, hindi puro problema. At…

Have you ever felt anxious over one SMS or Messenger notification? Minsan I dread messages lalo na from certain people and at certain times like early in the morning. Hindi ko lang alam kung bakit - baka kasi may ipapagawa, or may kasalanan akong dapat bigyan ng paliwanag - whatever. Kaya pinatatagal ko ng ilang minuto bago ko buksan just to make sure na ready ako emotionally whatever the concern is. Weird no? Ikr.
Politics - My Anxiety Trigger It's official. The campaign period for the Philippines ' national and local elections has begun.

Senior moment: sobrang tagal ko sa harapan ng kiosk para mag-cash in ng GCash ko kasi nakalimutan ko yung number ko hahaha! Nilapitan na ako ng guard kasi akala niya di ako marunong gumamit nung machine. Feeling ko tuloy sobrang shunga ko. Step by step tinuturo niya pipindutin. Di niya alam issue ko yung mobile number ko 😂
I discovered this app just today and I would like to be guided :) hello guys! Hehe
I'm not a fan of Willie Revillame but I admire his delicadeza, as he mentioned in his farewell speech. It must have been hard to him parting ways with the station that took care of him for almost 7 years :) what a bittersweet ending. Sure, his fans will miss him in the airwaves.
Still trying to make sense of the Backward Design in syllabus making. Huhu di naman ako Educ graduate but since I accepted a formal teaching assignment, I have to learn and get used to these new concepts. Sabi pa naman nila it's hard to teach old dogs new tricks lol tumatanda na ba talaga brain cells ko? 😂
It's still CNY here at SM North! Tama nga naman since pula din, coincide na lang with Valentine's Day hehe. Grabe ang daming tao sa malls. Sign of gradual recovery natin from the onslaught of the pandemic. Ingat sa lahat!
Nakalimutan kong i-attach yung image ko as proof na CNY pa rin sa mga SM Malls 😂 senior moment na naman. Btw, ang ganda nung eyes nung tiger na yan. Nagbabago ng design. 😍
On Tardiness and Honoring Commitments I have this friend who frequently comes late to our scheduled meetings. Being a friend to him since high school, I really don't mind him being a notorious latecomer. Perhaps it's because I use the time waiting to read a book. I always have a book with me - whether physical or digital, so I don't mind. But that's just me. Also, because he's my best friend. Another thing, I've learned how to allot more time to his frequent tardiness and I…
They say opportunities come only once. So grab it while it's available because you might never get the chance again! That is if you're already around to do some grabbing. What if the opportunity you've been praying for is already within reach, but since you're still snoring or you are too preoccupied to honor a commitment, that answered prayer never landed on your lap. Sad, right? Read more: https://read.cash/@Marts/on-tardiness-and-honoring-commitments-ce9143e2

Singleness is a gift *Singleness is a gift.* Though social media may say otherwise, being single is not a thing to fret about. Singleness offers a lot of opportunities that are seldom enjoyed by those in a relationship. So there's no need to rush into an untimely relationship, especially when it is not yet your season. Let it come when the time is ripe, and when you fully mature to handle the pressures brought about by romantic relationships. I remember Joshua Harris'…

I sought the help of randomizer sa internet para mapadali ang pag-group ko sa 82 delegates namin into 4 different groups, na hindi nauulit. Kaso kahit yata yung randomizer nahihirapan na kaka-arrange. Ang dami daming pangalan! Haha Sumakit ulo ko sa maghapong kaka-group sa kanila, di pa rin ako tapos. Bukas ulit 😂
I was able to pay my electric bill with my converted BCH! How's that for a win?! Celebrate small victories in life yay! Thanks, noise.cash ☺️
Minsan talaga feeling ko kulang ang 24 hours sa dami ng kailangang gawin. May mga times din naman na parang ang haba haba ng mga araw. Weather weather lang din talaga ang pagtingin sa oras. Basta kailangan lang i-maximize at hindi sayangin ang bawat sandali :)
Napapalaban talaga ako sa trabahong ito! Haha 😂 pero napapalaban din ang mga lamok. Grabe sila huhu. Di ba pwede ang peaceful coexistence? Gagawin ko trabaho ko tapos lipad lipad lang kayo dyan walang pakialaman 😅
Do It Afraid: Tackle New Challenges Early this month, my former Bible school teacher (now the Academic Dean) offered me a teaching invitation to my alma mater. I was hesitant at first because I still haven't taken any Masters' units and I just graduated from bible school. But after days of prayer and careful consideration, I took her challenge. https://read.cash/@Marts/an-unexpected-invitation-1bbdfe86 The subject I was asked to teach is Technical Writing and Research in the…
Glad to pull this one off before hitting the sack! "Do it afraid. Fear is natural, fear is universal, but you need to get through that curtain of fear to see what's waiting for you behind. What if our fears are just open doors waiting to be opened? Turn that knob! What awaits you is bigger than the fear that holds you back. And when you did, you'll no longer be the same." https://read.cash/@Marts/do-it-afraid-tackle-new-challenges-a8c4d672
Leaders should champion our cause, not gatekeep our growth. They should push us to maturity, not suspend our opportunities.
Medyo bothered and distracted ako today dahil sa hindi magandang balita pero I'm seeking peace from the Lord so I know how to respond with wisdom and in faith. 🙏 Blessings, everyone!
No Longer the Old Me Saturday. I woke up earlier than usual, which is surprising because I felt too brokenhearted the night before. I struggled with God in prayers for Him to take the "cup" away from me. With a heavy heart but still clinging to little faith that I have, I muttered, "OK then, have it Your way." I can't remember the time I fell asleep. All I know is that with all the confusion, tears, and fears running through my head, at least I should feel exhausted. I…

There is internal satisfaction and a feeling of accomplishment whenever I tick off items on my To-Do List. It keeps me focused, productive, and aware of my time. Ang saya lang. And thank you somehow sa noise, may kaunting break ako from continuous work. :) Share ko lang yung quote sa News Feed Eradicator ko: “There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.” - Indira Gandhi…

What Keeps a Relationship Strong My girlfriend and I were discussing how to strengthen a couple's relationship. It was a very mature conversation that I am very eager to have. That topic was brought up when we learned about older couples having problems with their marriage. They've been together for God knows how long! It got us thinking, "how does it really feel to be in a relationship of 30-40-50 years or more?" We both wondered, "will all the affections dissipate?" As a…
I wrote about the things that keep a relationship strong. Helpful even for singles out there! "The relationship is of primary importance, and if you want to keep it, you have to put effort into it. You pray for your marriage, you fight for your marriage, you take it seriously. " https://read.cash/@Marts/what-keeps-a-relationship-strong-f1b26a22
