 "No trial will come to us that we cannot handle. If we find it difficult, He will give us the strength and be with us to ensure our victory because of His presence. Instead of running away, confront it in the Spirit, and bring it to prayer and fasting."

APOSTLE RENATO D. CARILLO

 We must keep our hearts and minds focused on God's promises, regardless of our circumstances, what is happening in the world, how we feel, or the lies of the devil and the opinions of others.

I KNOW

 I know it doesn’t feel like it now, but things really do have a way of working themselves out—just not always on the schedule we hoped for. ✨

There are days when everything feels too heavy, when nothing clicks, and even the smallest tasks feel like climbing a hill barefoot. I’ve had mornings where I sat in silence, wondering if the fog would ever lift. But even in those moments, somewhere deep down, I’ve carried this quiet belief that life doesn’t just stay broken. It bends, it shifts, it stumbles—but somehow, it keeps moving forward.

I’ve learned that healing isn’t a switch you flip. It’s slow, uneven, sometimes messy. It looks like late-night talks with someone who gets it, like the relief of small victories—folding the laundry, returning a text, stepping outside when you’d rather hide. And even when it’s not okay yet, even when you still feel lost, that doesn’t mean you’re not on your way. The truth is, you don’t need to have everything figured out right now. 

You just need to keep going, gently, honestly. Eventually, maybe not today, but eventually, things begin to feel a little lighter. And that matters more than it seems.

— Bloom, Writer’s Blossoms

I HOPE

 I hope you find some relief from the things you keep to yourself—the worries you push down just to get through the day. 

Maybe it’s something you don’t even have words for yet, just a heaviness that shows up when no one’s around. You go to work, take care of things, laugh when it’s expected, and somehow still carry all that weight like it’s nothing. But it’s not nothing. And I hope, even if it’s little by little, you start to feel lighter. Not because everything is suddenly fixed, but because you’ve given yourself permission to rest, to feel, to not be okay all the time.

I hope you keep going, even when no one claps for it. Because showing up for your own life—when it’s messy or quiet or exhausting—is still a win. Maybe it’s replying to a message you almost ignored, or getting out of bed when you’d rather stay under the covers. Maybe it’s making it through dinner with a fake smile, and that’s all you had to give. It counts. All of it. 

And I hope you know that even if no one sees the effort, even if no one says it out loud, what you’re doing matters. You matter. More than you probably let yourself believe.

— Bloom, Writer’s Blossoms

THATS HOW YOU BECOME SUCCESFUL

 Don’t ever forget that you can:

- start something at 23

- fail at it a year later 

- feel lost at 28

- start something again at 30

- feel you’re on top of the world

- lose everything the next day

- choose the wrong path 

- feel you’re different from others 

- start again at 35 or at 40 or maybe 50

And still succeed.

Because your path is made different. 

It’s not for you to compare. 

Walk on your own path. 

Fall. 

Rise. 

You’re not late, for as long as you keep trying. 

That’s how you can become successful.

DO NOT PROVOKE YOUR CHILDREN TO ANGER

And you, fathers, 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” - 𝑬𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒔 6:1-4

1. Obey your parents for to disobey your parents is to disobey God.

- Do not talk back, argue, or disobey them, especially when their advice is godly, good, and appropriate

2. Honor your parents for to honor your parents is to honor God, who gave them to you.

- Honoring your father and mother means respecting, loving, obeying, and serving them.

𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐍:

1. Do Not Provoke Your Children to Anger or Rebellion

- Avoid being overly strict, cruel, or failing to appreciate your children’s efforts.

- Constant negativity or criticism can make them feel as though they can do nothing right.

If your children fail, guide them with teaching and gentle reminders. Offer advice without shouting or anger, avoiding negative speech.

You are not called to accuse, condemn, or lead your children to despair. Instead, teach them with calmness, peace, wisdom, patience, love, and much prayer.

When you feel angry, take time to go to your room, control your emotions, kneel down, and pray. Ask God for guidance and strength to speak to them peacefully.

CARLOS YULO

 LALA ENRIQUEZ: Although our circumstances are not exactly the same, I understand what he is going through 💔I have never shared it on social media but my siblings and I were abused as children. We were forced to witness and experience things a child should never have. I only had full understanding of all the things we’ve been through at age 25 and I’m still processing it even now. 

Despite asking for help years and years ago, all that I’ve heard from others are what people are saying here in the comments section, even using the bible (and religion) to protect the abuser (honor thy parents etc..). 

Carlos’ point is not the amount of money that was lost, but the broken trust. It is the principle he is fighting for. In the first place, it was his mom who went on an interview to air out their family issues. 

It is not in our place to talk about this but MANY Filipinos can relate because too often, children are used as an investment and abused emotionally (and financially). 

If you love and respect your child (and treat them as an individual), they will go to the ends of the Earth to do everything they can to make you happy. 

The cycle of abuse ends with our generation...

CARLOS YULO: Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo posted a video on Tiktok regarding issues about his mother, Angelica Poquiz Yulo.

"Ang message ko po sa inyo Ma, na mag-heal kayo, mag-move on, napatawad ko na kayo a long time ago," Yulo said in the video.

"Itigil na po natin 'to at i-celebrate na lang po natin ang mga ginawang paghihirap, pagsasakripisyo ng bawat atletang Pilipino dito sa Olympics," he added.

KC CONCEPCION

 KC: YES, I UNFOLLOWED KIKO, KAKIE...I JUST WANT MYSELF TO BE HAPPY

Inamin ni KC Concepcion na in-unfollow niya ang stepfather na si Kiko Pangilinan at kapatid na si Frankie Pangilinan sa social media.

Hindi ni idinetalye ni KC kung bakit niya ginawa ito bagaman sinabi niya na mananatili ang pagmamahal niya sa dalawa.

“Yes, I unfollowed on social media platform—but I will not unfollow the lessons I have learned growing up into the woman I am today," giit ni KC.

“I unfollowed, but I will never unlove. Family is family. Naniniwala naman po ako na we have enough love to overcome this. I have faith na somehow God will bring us all to a happy place, one day," dagdag niya.

Gayunman, sinabi ni KC na natutuhan na niyang ilugar ang kanyang sarili sa buhay ng ibang tao.

At panahon na, dagdag niya, na unahin ang sariling kaligayahan.

“I realize po na life is so short, sayang po kung aksayahin natin ang time with negativity. I just want the family to be happy, and also myself to be happy," aniya.

Nagpapasalamat naman ang aktres sa pagmamahal at pag-aalaga ni Kiko.

“I am forever grateful to have experienced the love of a father through the experience of having a stepfather since I was 12 years old.

I’m sure hindi din po perfect ang journey niya, but I know he’s trying his best,” ani KC.

Idinagdag niya naging mabuti siyang anak.

“I would like to believe na naging mabuting anak din po ako. Ako po ay hindi perpekto pero nagmamahal po ako nang totoo," ayon sa panganay ni Sharon Cuneta.

KATHRYN BERNARDO

 “It’s not like I was masking everything I was feeling,” she continues. “But it was very personal, and I didn’t want people to see me as a victim or to feel bad for me because it happened.”

And forgiveness? “I don’t know,” she takes a long breath. “Ang lalim kasi ng word na forgiveness. For me, you can forgive people who deserve it. But when I forgive you, it doesn’t mean that I have to keep you in my life. I forgive you for my peace of mind, for clarity, and for everything. But it doesn’t mean na puwede kang bumalik. It depends. I’ll just keep my distance; you keep your distance. We’re okay like that. I mean, kunwari, I got hurt, why would I allow you to come back? It depends. It’s a case-to-case basis.

“First, I’ve never imagined myself being in this situation, and then, overcoming it. Depende. But distance is my way of protecting my peace.” — Kathryn Bernardo

THANK YOU, PASTORS

 THE PRICE OF BEING A PASTOR

Being a Pastor is listed among the four most difficult professions in the United States

because a Pastor must be:

•Preacher

•Example

•Father

•Husband

•Counselor

•Conference caller

•Planner

•Minister

•Visionary

•Director

•Mentor

•Friend

•Reconciliator 

•Marriage counselor

•Youth Counselor

•Leader's trainer

•Bible teacher

•Intercessor etc etc

Besides being:

•Keeper of the temple

•Cleaning staff

Every Pastor constantly confronts many different things, such as: 

The Pastor doesn't visit me

Sermon was too long.

The music was too loud.

The building is too cold.

Etc....

  One of the most difficult things in the life of a Pastor is to know that at some point the people they love will abandon or even betray them.

The Pastor is often the loneliest person in the congregation.

You may see a Pastor be surrounded by people, but very rarely people who are interested in their problems, needs or even in their lives.

If you have a Pastor as a friend take care of them, pray for them, connect with vision that God gave them, support them, but above all love them. Remember they are human and in the same way they go through the same needs as you.

Even if you don’t believe it, many of them have sacrificed comforts, rest, personal plans and so many things including some of their own family’s needs to attend God’s call.

Value the time a Pastor puts into work, the prayers he makes for everyone, the burden he voluntarily carries for ministry. You don't know how much he'd appreciate knowing you do.

Jeremiah 3:15 

And I will give you shepherds according to my own heart, who shall lead them with knowledge and understanding.

... For all pastors 🙏

Thank you for all that you do!

HAPPY BDAY 2025 MAMA ELSA KO

 thank you for working tirelessly for the works of God. for smiling sincerely when us, your children need strength to carry on. thank you for everything that you do to hold our home together. to my mom—thank you for loving like Jesus.💛 Happy Birthday, Mama ko ❤️

LDR IN CHRISTIAN COUPLE

 In Christian long-distance relationships (LDRs), couples prioritize God's principles of love, trust, and communication. They cultivate a strong spiritual foundation through prayer, shared scripture reading, and encouraging each other's faith. Technology is used to maintain connection, and regular virtual dates and phone calls help bridge the geographical gap. 

Key Elements of a Successful Christian LDR:

• Faith as the Foundation:

  Remember that God's love is the foundation of any healthy relationship, especially in an LDR where distance can test trust and commitment. 
• Prioritize Communication:

  Regular, honest, and consistent communication is crucial, ensuring both partners feel heard and understood, even over distance. 
• Spiritual Connection:

  Share prayer, scripture reading, and devotionals together, deepening your spiritual bond and seeking guidance from God. 
• Emotional Intimacy:

  Share your struggles, joys, and dreams with each other, fostering a sense of closeness despite the distance. 
• Trust and Honesty:

  Building and maintaining trust is essential for navigating the challenges of an LDR, requiring honesty and open communication. 
• Virtual Dates and Technology:

  Utilize technology (video calls, virtual dates, etc.) to create meaningful connection and intimacy. 
• Plan Visits:

  Make plans to see each other in person as often as possible, whether monthly or quarterly, to maintain a physical connection. 
• Pray for Each Other:

  Regularly pray for each other's well-being, spiritual growth, and the health of the relationship. 
• Focus on God's Plan:

  Trust that God has a plan for the relationship and seek His guidance in navigating the challenges of an LDR. 
• Set Boundaries:

  Establish healthy boundaries to protect both partners' well-being and ensure the relationship remains healthy. 
• Seek Wise Counsel:

  Don't hesitate to seek guidance from trusted friends, mentors, or counselors for support and encouragement. 

Additional Considerations:

• Manage Expectations:

  Be realistic about the challenges of an LDR and set clear expectations for the future of the relationship.
• Address Conflicts Quickly:

  Avoid allowing misunderstandings to fester. Address conflicts promptly and with grace.
• Practice Patience:

  Recognize that an LDR requires patience and understanding, both from the couple and those around them. 

LABAN LANG

 Accurate. I realize na minsan talaga kahit anong klaseng libang mo sa sarili mo, if you're not feeling okay parang no sense din. Magreresurface pa din sayo yung totoong nararamdaman mo.

We tend to trick our hearts na "everything is okay". Pero aminin mo sobrang hirap kapag sariling utak mo ang kalaban. The best na pwede mong gawin talaga is to let your emotions flow, kahit mahirap. As long as you're setting yourself free from overthinking.

Kaya fighting lang sa lahat ah.

STAY AT HOME MOM TO A TODDLER

 Being a stay-at-home mom to a toddler means doing everything, all day, every day—and still feeling like you didn’t do enough.

It’s wiping tiny hands, making meals that get thrown on the floor, cleaning the same messes ten times, and navigating meltdowns over the wrong color cup. It’s reading the same book over and over, functioning on reheated coffee, and having zero personal space—not even in the bathroom.

There are no clock-ins, no lunch breaks, no days off.

And most of what we do? It’s invisible.

No one sees the emotional labor, the patience it takes, the constant juggling of everyone’s needs except our own.

It’s easy for the world to take it for granted—because we “don’t work.”

But we do.

We are the glue, the routine, the comfort, the calm in their chaos.

So if you’re a stay-at-home mom deep in the toddler trenches, I see you.

You are doing the hardest, most important job—one that doesn’t come with a paycheck or praise, but is building the foundation of someone’s whole world.

You matter. Your work matters. Even on the days when it feels like no one notices.

FATHERS LOVE

 “He doesn’t ask for applause.

He doesn’t speak of sleepless nights, or silent worries.

But behind every light in the home,

Every smile on our faces—

Is a man who carries the weight of the world,

Just so we don’t have to.”

-Anupama Rajan

BINUONG PAMILYA WILL BECOME THE MAIN FAMILY

 💙When a couple marries, 

MAGULANG at KAPATIDS 

become “EXTENDED” family, 

yung binuong pamilya, 

spouse & kids become 

the “MAIN” family.✔️

💙RELATIVES at No.5 

is “EXTENDED” family✔️

💙Kids are NOT above Spouse❌

because ang wedding vows are made sa ASAWA, 

NOT TO KIDS.❌

KIDS are just offshoot ng marriage.

They will leave one day and marry too

and make their own vows to put their asawa as top-priority.💙

LET GO OF UNNECESSARY DRAMA

 Wife: 

“AS MUCH AS I NEEDED TO BE 

HEARD AND UNDERSTOOD, 

GANUN RIN SI HUSBAND.”

—————————————————-

Crystal Sabido:

I am a silent reader, happily married for 9 years.. 

allow me to share my thoughts.. 

We, mga wives and GFs, need to listen intentionally 

and understand the POV of our husband/BF.. 

—-

As a wife, marami rin ako natutunan.. 

I realize na, as much as I needed to be heard and understood- 

ganun rin si Husband.

Ang gusto kasi natin mga girls, 

tayo iniintindi PALAGI, tayo inuunawa PALAGI, pinapatawad agad PALAGI kapag may pagkakamali.. 

paanu naman mga husband or partner natin? 

Sana marealize natin na same din ang needs nila.

——

Ang problema, most of the time, women tends to talk a lot (as in!)- umaandar na defense mechanism at pangangatwiran, 

lalo kapag nare-Real Talk na ni hubby.. 

Imbes na iprocess ang sinabi ni hubby, intindihin at aminin na may kakulangan at kasalanan din tayo,, idadaan pa sa tantrums, pagpuputak at minsan, hindi mamamansin..

(💙RM: SUPER CORRECT!✔️✔️✔️)

——

May times na hindi nagsosorry ang mga husbands or BFs natin, dahil gusto nila cguro matutunan din natin na magSorry- umamin sa pagkakamali. 

(💙RM: TRUE✔️)

Wives/ GF, try niyo rin kasi magSorry. 

There’s no shame in apologising.

I know many of you (wives or GFs) will not agree with me. 

But believe me, nung natutunan ko ng pakinggan at intindihin husband ko.. at nung natutunan ko na rin mag-Sorry.. yes, may disagreements pa rin pero wala ng unnecessary drama.

(💙RM: MISMO✅

ANG GAAN NG RELASYON KUNG MAWALA ANG UNNECESSARY DRAMA.🎯🎯🎯)

TAKE YOUR TIME

 TAKE YOUR TIME. 

Matagal siya kumain ng icecream? Sabayan mo. 

Matagal siya magsuot ng sapatos? Hintayin mo. 

Matagal siya makatulog? Samahan mo. 

Matagal niyang ma-pickup mga tinuturo mo? Tyagain mo. 

Matagal maubos energy niya? Enjoyin mo. 

Matagal siyang magkwento? Pakinggan mo lang. 

TAKE YOUR TIME. Kasi hindi forever yan. Isang araw lilingunin mo ang season na ito at sasabihin mong ang bilis lang pala talaga ng panahon, sana sinulit mo ang bawat oras na lagi niyang gustong...

Sumama sayo..

Nakadikit sayo..

Magpakarga sayo..

Hawak ang kamay mo..

Tawagin ang pangalan mo..

Makatulog na ikaw ang huli niyang nakikita.. 

Magpasubo sayo..

Makipaglaro sayo..

Magtanong sayo..

Nagpapakiliti sayo..

Magkayakap kayo..

Magpaturo sayo..

Magpabasa ng libro.. 

Ubusin ang oras mo...

TAKE YOUR TIME. Ibuhos mo lang lahat sa kanya ngayon. Magtanim ka sa kanya. Aanihin mo yan balang araw. Isang araw baligtad na. Siya naman ang maghihintay sayo. Hindi ka niya mamadaliin. Sasamahan ka niya, sasabayan, papakinggan, tuturuan, tyatyagain at aalagaan. Eenjoyin ka din niya at ibubuhos niya ang lahat ng pagmamahal at panahon niya sayo hanggang sa huling pagtibok ng puso mo.. hanggang sa huling pagpikit at hindi na pagmulat ng mga mata mo.

LUMALAYO PAG DI NA KAYA

yung tipong gusto mong mawala saglit kasi ang hirap magpanggap. Drop everything talaga. Gusto kong i-celebrate yung lungkot, ang weird no? How can you celebrate sadness and why should you have to? But, I do. 

Gusto ko, maalala ko 'to balang araw. Gusto ko, tumatak siya sa akin, yung mga panahong ang baba ng tingin ko sa sarili ko, yung mga araw na talo ako. Ayaw ko silang kalimutan. 

Gusto ko i-acknowledge yung feeling na malungkot ako. At okay lang 'to. Okay lang tayo kahit na di okay ang sitwasyon natin. Dahil dito, mas natatanggap ko yung sitwasyon. Na okay lang pala malungkot. Ganon. 

Para saan pa, at makakaraos rin tayo sa mga laban na minsan, tayo nalang ang nakakaalam. Yakap. ✨🌻

YOU WON'T HEAR THIS FROM OGIE DIAZ

But some relationships really do stand the test of time! 

You've probably seen it with your own eyes, maybe in your family or among your friends.

While celebrity breakups spread louder, faster and wider, there are plenty of couples quietly going strong.

So, don't lose hope in marriage. Give it a chance. 

Here's what I've observed from those lasting marriages:

It’s never been easy

but the Lord Jesus is always the One holding them together. Colossians 1:17

SOUL TO SOUL

 Soul-to-soul relationships are so worth the wait. Your true soulmates will understand you, appreciate you, support you, love you, heal with you, grow with you & evolve with you. They will naturally bring out your inner child, adore your old soul & make you love yourself even more

TEN RULES FOR A HAPPY MARRIAGE

1. Never both be angry at the same time.

2. Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire.

3. If one of you has to win an argument, let it be your mate.

4. If you must criticize, do it lovingly.

5. Never bring up mistakes of the past.

6. Neglect the whole world rather than each other.

7. Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled.

8. At least once every day say a kind or complimentary word to your life partner.

9. When you have done something wrong, admit it and ask for forgiveness.

10. Remember it takes two to make a quarrel. and the one is the wrong is the one who does the most talking.

POISON THAT KILLS MEN

Once upon a time a beautiful girl got tired of her marriage life and wanted to murder her spouse. 

One morning she ran to her mother and said to her "Mother, I am tired of my husband I can no longer support his nonsense. I want to kill him but I am afraid the Law of the land  will hold me responsible, can you please help me, Mother?"

The mother answered:

- Yes my daughter I can help you, but,  there is a little task attached. 

The daughter asked "What task? I am willing and ready to assume any task attached to get him out" 

OK, said the mother,

1..You will have to make peace with him so that no one will suspect you when he is dead.

2.. You will have to beautify yourself to look young and attractive to him

3.. You have to take good care of him and be very nice and appreciative of him

4.. You have to be patient, loving and less jealous, have more listening ears, be more respectful and obedient 

5. Spend your money for him and don’t get angry even when he doesn't give you money for whatever 

6. Don’t raise your voice against but encourage Peace and love so that you will never be suspected when he must have died.

Can you do all of that? 

Asked the mother.

Yes, I can. She replied

OK, said the mother.

Take this powder and pour a bit into his everyday meal, it will slowly kill him.

After 30 days the lady came back to her mother and said.

Mother, I have no intention of killing my husband again😒. As of now, I have grown to love him more because he has completely changed, he is now a very sweet 🥰husband than I ever imagined. 

What can I do to stop the poison from killing him? 

Please help me Mother 😒, 

She pleaded in a sorrowful tone😤.

The mother answered;

Do not worry my daughter. What I gave you the other day was just Tumeric Powder. It will never kill him. 

In reality, you were the poison that was slowly killing your husband with tension and dispassion.

It was when you started loving, honouring and cherishing him,  you saved him.

BEING A MOM IS EXHAUSTING

i thought being pregnant and giving birth were the most exhausting things I would have to experience, I was wrong. Life as a mom after pregnancy is another level. Whenever the baby cries, I have to be there. I have to feed her, comfort her, clean her, change her diaper…all that stuff. Not to mention the chores that I don’t have time for. I have to get up in the middle of the night to try to get them done. And when I look at my baby sleeping, I can’t help traumatizing myself thinking, “Was I a good mom today? Did I take care of her well enough?”

LIFE IS SHORT

Life is unpredictable. 

Life is momentary. 

Treasure the ones you love. 

Be intentional. 

Live with urgency. 

Embrace and savor the NOW.

ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL

..and remember how you started. 🤍

Minsan, we tend to look for the things that we don’t yet have. Gusto ko ng bahay, gusto ko ng kotse, gusto ko ng ganito, ng ganyan. We are being consumed kung ano ‘yung mga wala pa sa atin without even realizing what we currently have and how far we’ve already come.

Take time to ponder. Pause. Breathe.

Oo, malayo ka PA pero malayo ka NA—kung saan ka nagsimula.

‘Yung dating tingi na pagbili mo sa tindahan, ngayon nakakapag-grocery ka na ng isang buwan. ‘Yung dating tuyo na ulam, ngayon unli samgyupsal. ‘Yung dating yum burger, ngayon supermeal. ‘Yung mga bagay na dating gusto mo lang, ngayon nabibili mo na anytime.

Don’t stress yourself too much dearest, take it one step at a time and celebrate your small wins. ✨

PADAYON—isang mahigpit na yakap para sa ating lahat na nagsusumikap. 🥺

INAY HINDI KA TAMAD

Hindi ka tamad kung nakatulog ka ng tanghali or nakatulog ka ng maaga. 

Tandaan, hindi ka zombie. Tao ka din na kailangan ng tulog. 

Hindi ka tamad kung tambak na ang labahin at tiklupin mo. Hindi ka laundry station para laging maging updated sa labada mo. 

Hindi ka tamad kung minsang nanonood ka ng Kdrama o kaya gumagawa ng bagay ng gusto mo. Mahalaga din ang sanity mo. Mahirap maging ilaw ng tahanan kapag simot at pundido ka na. 

Hindi ka tamad kung gusto mong mapag-isa, tumulala, tumunganga, huminga paminsan. Hindi katamaran ang paghinga, pag-slow down at pagpapahinga. Hindi ka robot. Tao ka. 

Hindi ka tamad kung na-order ka paminsan sa food panda, nagamit ng paper plate para bawas hugasin at kung ano-ano pang hack na makakapag-pagaan ng trabaho mo. Tawag dun madiskarte. Hindi katamaran. 

Hindi ka tamad kung wala kang ibang nagawa sa buong maghapon kundi mag-alaga, makipaglaro, magturo at mag-asikaso ng iyong mga anak. Ang maramdaman ng mga anak mo ang pagmamahal mo at presence mo sa buhay nila this season, malaking accomplishment na yun. It doesn’t have to be grand gaya ng nakikita natin online. Magkakaiba tayo. Kaya wag kang sipagin mag-compare Inay. 

Hindi ka tamad kung mabait ka sa sarili mo, kung iniisip mo din ang kapakanan mo. You’re not lazy if you’re taking good care of your spirituality, emotional, mental and physical being. Tandaan, kailangan mong pahalagahan ang pinaka-importanteng tao sa buhay ng asawa at mga anak mo… IKAW. ♥️

Hindi ka tamad Inay. 

Tandaan mo yan.

May mga namatay ka bang pangarap?

May mga namatay ka bang relasyon?

Namatay na ba ang passion mo sa Panginoon?

Namatay na ba ang pag-asa sa puso mo?

Totoo na dalawang boses ang maririnig mo sa mga bagay o sitwasyon na tingin mo ay patay na. Boses ng pag-asa at boses na papatay sa natitira mong pag-asa. Totoo rin na kung anong boses ang pinapakinggan mo, ‘yon ang boses na susundin mo. Kaninong boses nga ba nakikinig ang tainga mo?

Mas malakas ba ang boses na nagsasabing,

“Wag mo nang ipaglaban”

“Patay na yan! 'Wag ka nang mag-effort”

“Kahit anong gawin mo, wala nang mangyayari d’yan”

O mas malakas ang boses na nagsasabing,

“Mukha mang patay ‘yan, bubuhayin Ko ‘yan”

“Hindi ba may pangako Ako sa’yo para d’yan?”

“Patay man ‘yan para sayo pero papalitan ko ‘yan”

In a story of a father fighting for his daughter’s life in Luke 8, we can see how this man was stopped halfway into coming to Jesus by a disheartening news. But Jesus knew that it isn’t a hopeless situation and He encouraged the man to believe. Coming into their home, though there were people who did not believe and even laughed at him, Jesus did a miracle. He took the girl’s hand and raised her back to life.

Is there a situation in your life right now that you think is already hopeless? A dream that you consider dead? A prayer that you don’t bother uttering to God again? He is bringing dead things to life. Some things may seem impossible for us, but these things are never too hard for God. 

He is a God that restores and redeems! Kung para sa iba ay game over na, Siya naman ay may ginagawang bago na hindi pa nakikita ng ‘yong mga mata. Kaya ‘wag kang matakot at magsimula kang maniwala. 

Dream again!

Believe again!

Get your passion back!

WHEN YOU DIE DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR BODY

 When you die, don't worry about your body...

Your relatives will do whatever it takes.

They will take off your clothes

They will wash you

They will dress you up

They will take you out of the house and deliver you to your new address.

Many will come to the funeral to honor you.

Some will even cancel their plans and ask for labor to go to the funeral.

Your things you didn't like to borrow will be sold, donated or burned.

Your keys

Your tools

Your books

Your CDs, DVDs, games

Your collections

Your clothes...

And be sure the world won't stop and cry for you.

The economy will continue.

You will be replaced in work. Someone with the same or even better ability will take your place.

Your property will switch to heirs.

And don't doubt that about you for the small and big things you have done in your life will speak, judge, doubt and criticize.

People who only knew you face will say, ′′ Poor thing!"

Your good friends will cry for a few hours or several days, but then they will laugh again.

Your pets will get used to the new owner.

Your pictures will be hanging on the wall for awhile, then they will be put on furniture and finally stored at the bottom of the box.

Someone else will sit on your couch and eat from it.

Deep pain in your home will last a week, two, one month, two, one year, two... Then you will join the memories and then your story will end.

It will end among people, end here, end in this world.

But your story begins in a new reality... in your life after death.

Your life is earthly where you couldn't move with the things you had here will lose the meaning they had.

the beauty of your body

Last name

property

loans

working position

bank account

the house

the car

academic titles

Classmates

trophies

Friends of the world

man / woman

the kids

the family...

In your new life, you will only need your soul.

The only property that will last is the soul.

So try to live your life full and be happy while you are here because, as Francis of Assisi said, ′′ You won't take what you have from here. You only take what you gave!"

COLOSSIANS 3:2

 KAPAG TUMATANDA MAS NAGIGING SIMPLE ANG KARAMIHAN SA ATIN 

Hindi na tayo after sa latest, hanggang nagagamit pa PUSH lang!

Yung cellphone, basta nailaw pa at nakaka type hindi pa pinapalitan agad..

Yung damit, mas bet pa nga natin isuot sa bahay yung mga konting sinulid nalang ang nakatahi (haha!) 

Reminder lang ito sa ating lahat, bago magpalit ng gamit pwede natin ito itanong sa sarili:

☑️ Kailangan ko na ba magpalit ng bago?

☑️ Afford ko ba bumili ng bago?

☑️ Wala ba akong mahahanap na alternative? 

Walang masama bumili ng bago ha, ito ay realization lang na karamihan sa atin kapag tumatanda ay mas napapriority natin ang ibang bagay, ang mga bagay na mas nag mamatter 🤍

"Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth" Colossians 3:2 💕 

Sana nakatulong ito mga ka-tipid 🙂

GAANO KARAMING TUBIG ANG DAPAT INUMIN ARAW ARAW

Madalas nating marinig na payo ng ang "UMINOM NG 8 GLASSES OF WATER EVERY DAY". Pero saan ba nanggaling ang payo na ito?

✅ Noong 1945, naglabas ng rekomendasyon ang US FOOD AND NUTRITION BOARD na kailangang uminom ng 2.5 LITERS NG TUBIG (o 8 GLASSES) KADA ARAW ang mga tao. 

✅ Ngunit ang rekomendasyon na iyon ay pawang isang MYTH o HAKA-HAKA lamang, wala itong basehan sa mga pag-aaral at wala rin naman ebidensya na ang paginom ng 8 glasses of water araw-araw ay mas mabuti kaysa sa paginom ng mas kaunting tubig.

✅ Ang bawat tao ay iba-iba ang pangangailangan sa tubig. Halimbawa, mas maraming tubig ang kailangan ng isang 80 kg na tumatakbo sa marathon sa ilalim ng initan ng araw kumpara sa isang 50 kg na tao na nakaupo lamang sa opisina at naka aircon.

✅ Mas maraming tubig din ang kailangan ng mga pasyenteng may PAGTATAE o DIARRHEA at mga NILALAGNAT kesa sa mga malusog na tao. Kailangan rin ng maraming tubig para sa may mga KIDNEY STONES.

✅ May mga pasyente rin na hindi puwedeng uminom ng maraming tubig dahil maaari silang malunod, gaya ng may mga HEART FAILURE at CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE na hindi na nakakaihi.

✅ Magaling ang ating MGA KIDNEYS sa PAGBABALANSE NG TUBIG sa katawan. Kung sobra ang tubig, itatapon nito ang sobra sa pamamagitan ng PAG-IHI NG MARAMI. Kung kulang naman sa tubig, magtitipid ito at magiging KAUNTI ANG IHI. 

✅ Para sa karamihan ng mga HEALTHY ADULTS, ang pinakamagandang paraan upang manatiling HYDRATED ay uminom lamang ng tubig KUNG NAUUHAW.

✅ Tandaan na hindi lamang sa iniinom nakukuha ang tubig. Marami ring lamang tubig ang mga PRUTAS AT GULAY, at pati na rin ang mga ISDA AT KARNE na ating kinakain. 

✅ Hindi rin maganda ang SOBRANG PAG-INOM NG TUBIG dahil maaari itong magdulot ng HYPONATREMIA o PAGBABA NG ASIN SA DUGO na maaaring magdulot naman ng SEIZURES at PAGKAMATAY.

✅ Huwag MAPRESSURE na uminom ng napakaraming tubig. Hindi hahaba ang buhay mo kung mas marami kang tubig na inumin. 

✅ Uminom lang ng tubig ayon sa pangangailangan. Uminom kapag nauuhaw. Sapat na ito para manatiling HYDRATED at HEALTHY ang ating katawan.

ALL THINGS ARE BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL

..All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colours, He made their little wings. The purpleheaded mountain, The river running by, The sunset and the morning, That brightens up the sky. The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them every one. The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play, The rushes by the water, We gather every day.  He gave us eyes to see them And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty Who has made all things well

TRUE FRIENDS ARE A GIFT FROM GOD

-know that our friendships come from the Lord. 

They are hard to find.

They stick closer than family, and often know you better. 

They pray bigger things for you than you pray for yourself. 

They believe with you when your faith is weak. 

They make space for you when life falls apart, and they rejoice with you when all is well. 

They help you grow and show Christ’s love to others. 

They are not afraid to share truth in love when you need it.

They do not celebrate our sin, but confront us and help us look to God to overcome it. 

“𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 '𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙨' 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙮 𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙨 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙖 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧.” —Proverbs 18:24

Now, please do yourself a favor and thank your true friends. ❤️❤️ They are one of the precious gifts God has given us! 

To all my true friends, I love you and I thank God for your lives. ❤️

MARRY GOOD A PERSON

 You might be thinking that the most important decision you'll make is the biggest purchase of your life - house, cars, investments.

But according to Filipino business tycoon, the biggest decision of your life is your Partner, your partner to all your challenges and success.

John Gokongwei Jr. said, 

"The most important decision you have to make in your life is whom you’re going to marry. That decision will dictate the rest of your life, whether you will have a happy life or a miserable one".

Marry a good person. 

Your spouse should be an ally in happiness and not a source of misery. The challenge is to find someone who shares the same beliefs and principles and can be your partner in parenthood and all aspects of your life. 

[via Investa]

HINDI MADALI MAGING INA

 "mahirap maging ina, mag-alaga ng anak at magpalaki ng bata. grabe yung sakripisyo physically & emotionally. pero gumagaan at napakadali ng lahat kapag may responsable kang asawa na handa kang tulungan sa lahat at maging sandalan."

BIG SECRETS IN MARRIAGE

Secret 1

Everyone you marry has a weakness. Only God does not have a weakness. So if you focus on your spouse's weakness you can't get the best out of his strength.

Secret 2

Everyone has a dark history. No one is an angel. When you get married or you want to get married stop digging into someone's past. What matters most is the present life of your partner. Old things have passed away. Forgive and forget. Focus on the present and the future.

Secret 3

Every marriage has its own challenges. Marriage is not a bed of roses. Every good marriage has gone through its own test of blazing fire. True love proves in times of challenges.  Fight for your marriage. Make up your mind to stay with your spouse in times of need. Remember the vow For better for worse. In sickness and in health be there.

Secret 4

Every marriage has different levels of success. Don't compare your marriage with any one else. We can never be equal. Some will be far, some behind. To avoid marriage stresses, be patient, work hard and with time your marriage dreams shall come true.

Secret 5

To get married is declaring war. When you get married you must declare war against enemies of marriage. Some enemies of marriage are:

-- Ignorance 

-- Prayerlessness

-- Unforgiveness 

-- Third party influence 

-- Stinginess

-- Stubbornness 

-- Lack of love 

-- Rudeness

-- Laziness 

-- Disrespect 

-- Cheating 

Be ready to fight to maintain your marriage zone.

Secret 6

There is no perfect marriage. There is no ready made marriage. Marriage is hard work. Volunteer yourself to work daily on it. Marriage is like a car that needs proper maintenance and proper service. If this is not done it will break down somewhere exposing the owner to danger or some unhealthy circumstances. Let us not be careless about our marriages. 

Secret 7

God cannot give you a complete person you desire. He gives you the person in the form of raw materials in order for you to mould the person that you desire. This can only be achieved through prayer, love and Patience

Secret 8

Getting married is taking a huge risk. You can not predict what will happen in the future.  Situations may change so leave room for adjustments. Husband can lose his good job or you may fail to have babies. All these require you to be prayerful otherwise you might divorce.

Secret 9

Marriage is not a contract. It is  permanent. It needs total commitment. Love is the glue that sticks the couple together. Divorce start in the mind and the devil feeds the mind. Never ever entertain thoughts of getting a divorce. Never threaten your spouse with divorce. Choose to remain married. God hates divorce.

Secret 10

Every marriage has a price to pay. Marriage is like a bank account. It is the money that you deposit that you withdraw. If you don't deposit love, peace and care into your marriage, you are not a candidate for a blissful home.

So today let us pray for our marriages. Send to those you care about because  you never know who you may be helping. 

May God bless you.

MY BIGGEST FEAR

 What if I’m not there tomorrow?

Who will understand my child the way I do?

Who will know that they like their food a certain way?

Who will feed them when they’re hungry — not just with food, but with love and care?

Who will hold them when they cry, even when they say they’re okay?

If I’m not there, who will make sure they’re covered at night when they kick off the blanket in sleep?

Who will notice their mood without them saying a word?

Who will pray for them every night like I do — with tears, hope, and so much love?

I worry...

What if they fall sick and I’m not there to stay up all night beside them?

What if life gets hard for them, and I’m not around to guide them, to remind them that they’re strong?

I know it’s impossible to control everything. But as a mother, these thoughts never really go away.

They live quietly in some corner of my heart.

Because no one can love my child the way I do.

No one will care like I do.

No one will notice the little things like I do.

And that... is my biggest fear.

MOTHERHOOD

 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻?.𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗜’𝗺 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗳…🥲

Every night, after a long, tiring day… when the world slowly drifts into sleep… I lie there beside my child, staring at the ceiling, listening to their soft breathing.

But even in that silence… my mind is loud.

Louder than it’s been all day.

Because every night, just before I close my eyes, a fear crawls in—quietly but fiercely.

A fear that grips my heart and squeezes it tight.

What if I don’t open my eyes again?

It’s not death I’m scared of…

It’s the thought of leaving my child behind.

The thought of not being there when they need me.

The idea that someday, they might cry for me… and I won’t be there to hold them.

Who will brush their hair in the morning?

Who will pack their lunch just the way they like it?

Who will understand their unspoken words like I do?

Who will be their safe place in this world?

That thought breaks me.

It scares me more than anything else in this life.

So many people think motherhood is just about feeding, bathing, or teaching them how to walk.

But for a mother, it’s about silently carrying the weight of a thousand fears—every single day.

And still showing up with a smile.

Still singing lullabies.

Still saying, “Everything will be okay,” even when we don’t feel okay ourselves.

Sometimes, I want to scream.

Sometimes, I want to cry without hiding in the bathroom.

But most nights, I just lie there, hugging my child a little tighter, whispering a prayer…

“Dear God, just one more day…

Let me wake up tomorrow.

Let me see their smile.

Let me be their comfort, their shield, their home…

Just one more

TANTRUMS

 To those who judge my child : Tantrum is not a bad behavior

"When my child smiles, speaks politely, and behaves well…

Everyone praises him.

‘Such a sweet child,’ they say.

But the moment he cries, throws a tantrum, or screams out of frustration…

The same people say,

‘This child is spoiled… so bad… no one can stand him.’

They don't see the tired eyes of a mother who's been patient all day.

They don’t hear the silent cries of a heart that’s doing its best.

They forget that this little soul is still learning how to handle big feelings.

A tantrum is not bad behavior.

It’s a call for love, understanding, and support.

And no… my child is not bad.

He’s just… two. And human.

And I love him through every single emotion."

MARRIAGE

 10 Things na natutunan ko sa discussion ni Maricar at Richard tungkol sa marriage at pag bukod.

1. Priority Shifts– Pag kinasal ka, ang priority mo na ay ang asawa at magiging anak mo, hindi na ang extended family mo.  

2. Boundaries Matter– dapat malinaw ang hangganan—hindi na sila ang may final say sa buhay ninyong mag-asawa.  

3. Hindi Porket Christmas, Lahat ng Kamag-anak Bibigyan– Priority mo na ang asawa at anak mo, hindi ang buong barangay niyo

4. Opinions vs. Decisions– Pwede kang makinig sa opinyon ng pamilya mo, pero ang final decision ay dapat manggaling sa inyo ng asawa mo.  

5. Walang “Dapat Ganito”– Hindi dahil ganito ang kinasanayan sa pamilya mo, ganun na rin dapat sa bago mong pamilya. Kayo ng asawa mo ang magde-desisyon kung paano niyo gustong patakbuhin ang buhay ninyo.  

6. It’s About Teamwork– Hindi "kanino ka kakampi" kundi "paano kayo magtutulungan." Mag-asawa kayo, hindi teammates ng magkabilang pamilya.  

7. Obligasyon vs. Tulong– Tumutulong ka sa pamilya mo, pero hindi mo responsibilidad ang buhay nila. May sarili ka nang pamilyang dapat unahin.  

8. Respect Works Both Ways– Dapat marunong kang rumespeto sa extended family mo, pero ganun din sila sa bago mong pamilya.  

9. Asawa Mo ang Ka-Team Mo, Hindi ang Magulang Mo– Kung every issue, takbo ka agad sa pamilya mo, eh di sana nag-stay ka na lang sa kanila.

10. Marriage is a Fresh Start – Hindi ito extension ng lumang buhay mo, kundi simula ng bago—at nasa inyo ng asawa mo kung paano niyo ito bubuuin.

LIFE BEGINS AT 40

 "you are more than whatever burden you carry. you're not your body or whatever baggage you carry.

you are your strengths & the things you feel passionate about & the people you would sacrifice everything for. you are your smile & the way you laugh & how you make other people feel. you are your favorite book & the songs that soothe your soul & bring you to tears. you are the things you dream about & hope for all the steps you take svery day to try to get there.

you're imperfect & you struggle & you can be difficult for the people in your life, but you're still worthy of love & kindness & belonging. the hard parts of who you are & what you struggle with don't discount all the other parts. & the right people know this. you aren't defective or too much. you're human & there is so much more to you than the darkness you feel."

-however, life begins @ 40.
