ONE OF MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

 PARA SA MGA BATANG GEN Z....

The story centers around a poor teenage girl, Shancai (Barbie Hsu), who at the insistence of her parents goes to a school for rich people. The school is dominated by Daoming Si (Jerry Yan), Huaze Lei (Vic Chou), Meizuo (Vanness Wu) and Ximen (Ken Chu)—four rich, handsome but arrogant students collectively known as the 'F4', short for 'Flower 4'. They are heirs to four rich and influential families in Taiwan. They terrorize the school by handing out red cards to those they do not like, which allows other students to bully the victims until they leave the school.

After one of Shancai's friends receives the wrath of the F4's leader, Daoming Si, she stands up to and berates him, which in turn results in a red card of her own. Shancai hates the arrogant and rude Daoming Si. Her persistence in standing up for what is right gradually gains the F4's respect and Daoming Si starts to fall for her. Shancai is attracted to the silent Huaze Lei in the beginning. But Daoming Si's constant yet annoying efforts has her question her feelings for both Huaze Lei and Daoming Si.

Later in the series, Daoming Si's mother comes to Taiwan. She instantly dislikes Shancai because of her poor background. Both Daoming Si and Shancai face hurdles his mother throws their way to separate them. Though Shancai does not profess her love for him yet, Daoming Si remains determined. The series shows the journey of Daoming Si and Shancai's feelings for one another.

THANK YOU LORD

 Panginoon, tulungan N’yo po kaming maging mapagpasalamat sa lahat ng Iyong ipinagkakaloob sa amin.

PSALM 103:1-5

 FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS!

Enjoy it, thank God for it and share it.

Bless the Lord, O my soul;

And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

And forget not all His benefits:

Who forgives all your iniquities,

Who heals all your diseases,

Who redeems your life from destruction,

Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. -PSALM 103:1-5

Thank you for your love and prayers to us.

I HAVE LEARNT

..that being who you are isn’t straightforward. We are complicated, contradictory beings, and we don’t always make sense (some of us rarely make sense), but accepting that about ourselves is the biggest step toward happiness.

SALAMAT PO PANGINOON

 Panginoon, maraming salamat po dahil minamahal Ninyo ako kahit pa makasalanan ako. Salamat po dahil kahit wala akong maipagmamalaki, minamahal N’yo pa rin ako.

NO ONE

 no one can separate us from the Love of God. no matter what satan does against us or how difficult the path we face, none of these can take us away from God. nothing can separate us from Him. God's love will never leave us. He will protect us. the only way we can be separated from His love is if we choose to sin & this is something we must never allow to happen.

-Apostle Renato D. Carillo

PHILIPPIANS 4:13

 ""𝐼 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑑𝑜 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ ℎ𝑖𝑚 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛𝑠 𝑚𝑒."" (𝑃ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑝𝑝𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑠 4:13 𝐸𝑆𝑉)

For sure, you've quoted this verse before. Baka nga favorite verse mo rin 'yan. But contrary to common interpretation, HINDI totoong kaya nating gawin ang lahat ng bagay. ❌

Yes, you read that right. Philippians 4:13 doesn't give us license to claim na magagawa natin ang lahat ng iisipin o pipilitin nating gawin.

Because in context, these are the things Paul was referring to when he said he can do ""all things""---

1️⃣ being content whatever the circumstances

2️⃣ enduring any and every situation

IT IS ABOUT CHRIST

 Some days, love is easy. Other days, it feels impossible. It’s challenging when someone hurts you, when trust is broken, or when it feels like they don’t deserve your love.

But love isn’t about who deserves it—it’s about who Christ is. He showed us how to love, even when it’s hard.

BEING INLOVE

 love is not for the faint of heart. it's not the romanticized version we're fed but something more brutal & honest.

it's standing infront of someone with all your wounds exposed, knowing they see every scar, every broken piece & still they stay.

being inlove doesn't come without pain. it's earned in the moments when you want to walk away, when you weight of it all feels too heavy but you choose to stay.

it knows that love isn't about finding someone who makes you whole but about finding someone who sees you as you are & holds space for you to heal, grow & become more than you ever thought you could be.

love is messy & uncomfortable. it's where you find out what you're really made of & what you're really willing to fight.

there's a kind of experience that can't be taught, only approached with caution.

it's about showing up daily, saying, "this is who i choose again & again, and..

forever YOU🤍

IT WILL WORK OUT

 when the love is right & the person is right, it will work out. trust that. believe that. stop doubting yourself & questioning your self worth. if someone is making you feel that you are less than worthy then that is not the right person for you. you deserved to feel loved & adored just the way you are.

THERE WAS A REASON

 you cannot force something in your life. if something is right, you will never have to wonder. you won't feel lost, you won't feel conflicted. what is right for you will stay. you won't have to chase it, you won't have to mend it. you won't have to bend backward to make it fit your life. when something is right, it will bring peace.

there was a reason for those pieces thas so pain - fully did not fit in your life. there is always a reason, i promise you.

one day, you will be thankful that the very same thing you wished so hard to had in your life did not work out.

I AM PROUD OF YOU

Just in case no one has told you this today, i'm so proud of you & everything you have endured & achieved. i hope you know how worthy you are & how much you bring to the world.

i'm proud of you for not giving up no matter how many times you've wanted to. i'm proud of you for choosing to keep going. i'm proud of you for continuing to show up each day despite what you have been through.

i'm proud of you for taking steps to better yourself & your life lately & for finally showing you're just how much you are capable of.

your strength & courage is inspiring & you should be proud of yourself, too.

MOM

 Toni Gonzaga: “A lot of families exist today because the mom chose to forgive. Kahit gaano ka kapagod hindi ka pwedeng mapundi dahil ‘pag napundi ang nanay delikado ang pamilya. Kaya dapat laging shining bright lang nanay. Pero ang galing nga ng nanay eh, kahit broken on the inside umiilaw pa rin sa tahanan. Tsaka dito natin makikita na may rason ang lahat ng pagsubok sa buhay gaano man kasakit. Kung may pinagdadaanan tayong pagsubok ngayon sa buhay, hindi natin agad makikita kung ano yung reason. Parang while going through the storm wag mong i-analyze kasi sa kakaisip at kakaisip mo lalo kang malulugmok at made-depress. Basta ang goal is malampasan ko to.”

A mother’s role in the family is incredibly powerful. Many families thrive because of a mother’s resilience. But I also think it’s unfair to expect moms to always stay strong, no matter what. Moms are not superhuman—they’re people with limits, too.

If a mom “burns out,” it’s not just on her; it’s a sign the family should step up and support her. Moms shouldn’t feel like they have to carry the entire family alone. It’s a partnership, and everyone in the family has a role to play in keeping the light shining.

As a family, sometimes we just have to focus on surviving the storm. It’s not always about understanding the "why" in the moment; it’s about getting through it. But let’s also make sure moms know it’s okay to ask for help when they need it. Families are strongest when everyone works together, not when all the pressure is placed on one person.

CHILD

 There are many ways to raise a child.

And there are many people who want to tell you how you should raise your child.

Some will offer their opinions when asked, but many will give unsolicited advice.

it is easy to doubt your parenting decisions when you are surrounded by people questioning your choices.

The truth is that what works for one child may not work for another child.

The truth is that what works for one mother may not work for another mother.

The truth is that every day with your child is the first day of raising your child at that age.

The truth is that NOBODY has all the answers.

What should a mother do?

𝑇𝑟𝑢𝑠𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑠.

In a world full of opinions, all I can do is trust my own voice and my own heart.

𝐵𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝐼 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑚𝑦 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑑 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑒.

Will I always get it right?

No.

Will I always do what I think is best?

Yes. With every ounce of my being.

If I want guidance, I will ask.

I will stand by my choices even if others don't agree with them.

TMAD

 TMAD stands for "Two Meals a Day," meaning you only eat two meals within a specific eating window each day, essentially creating a fasting period between those two meals; it's a form of intermittent fasting where you restrict your eating to a shorter window, typically around 8 hours, and fast for the remainin

How to do TMAD:

Choose your eating window:

Decide on an 8-hour period where you will eat your two meals, like 12pm-8pm. 

Plan your meals:

Ensure your two meals are nutritionally balanced and include a good source of protein, healthy fats, and fiber. 

Fast during non-eating window:

Avoid consuming any calories outside of your chosen eating window, except for water and unsweetened beverages. 

Important points to consider:

Listen to your body:

If you experience any negative symptoms like excessive hunger, dizziness, or fatigue, adjust your eating window or consult a healthcare professional. 

Hydrate well:

Drink plenty of water and unsweetened beverages during your fasting window to stay hydrated.

KIDNEY

 "KUNG ALAM KO LANG, WALA SANA AKO GA DIALYSIS 3X A WEEK" (If only I knew CKD, I am not doing Dialysis 3x a week) --- Let me share the story. Let this serve as awareness to everyone. 

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing health crisis in the Philippines, affecting millions with little warning. 

A 2022 study in revealed that CKD cases in the Philippines have risen to 35.94%, this is a SILENT KILLER. Early detection and proactive care are crucial to managing this condition effectively. 

26, young and engaged to be married na sana when He was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease  Secondary to Iga Nephropathy. He is now 29, three years undergoing Dialysis 3x a week. Why?

1. Panay kain ng chichirya (snack chips) na sobrang alat. This happens everyday! 

2. Para makatipid sa pera at oras, meals prepared are frozen preserved and canned goods like: hotdogs, beefloaf, cornedbeef, tocino, and chorizo. 

3. Lack of awareness of healthy food choices that too much salt is bad for the kidneys. 

4. Blood pressure increases at the very young age of 23 with 140/90. Then to 150/90. 

5. Did not take medication maintenance for the BP kasi hindi nagpa check up. 

6. Nag self medicate lang pag may maramdaman take agad ng PAIN KILLERS. 

Pag mataas ang BP, kelangan agad ipa check if needed ng maintenance, if hindi ka mag medication, expect na mahihirapan ang Kidney to function. It may be too late for now, kasi once kidney fails, forever kana dadalaw sa dialysis center. Nanakawin nya ang oras mo, pera mo, at kabataan mo. 

Kaya make better choices. 

This is not a testimony.

But a reminder that Prevention is better than undergoing Dialysis 3x a week. 

Sharing is Caring

-donna miranda

For CKD prevention while on a high-protein diet, follow these direct steps:

1. Balance Protein Intake

 • Stick to 1.2–2.0g of protein per kg body weight (about 78–130g per day for you).

 • Avoid excessive red meat and processed meats; prioritize lean proteins (chicken, fish, tofu, eggs).

2. Stay Hydrated

 • Drink at least 2–3 liters of water daily to help kidneys filter waste from protein metabolism.

3. Limit Sodium

 • Keep sodium intake below 2,300 mg per day.

 • Choose low-sodium canned tuna and rinse it before eating.

4. Monitor Blood Pressure & Blood Sugar

 • Keep BP below 130/80 mmHg.

 • Avoid excess sugar and processed carbs to prevent diabetes risk.

5. Avoid Excessive NSAIDs & Supplements

 • Limit ibuprofen, naproxen, and unnecessary supplements that strain the kidneys.

6. Get Regular Kidney Function Tests

 • Check creatinine, eGFR, and urine protein at least once a year, especially with a high-protein diet.

7. exercise daily 

chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients can exercise, but the type and intensity should be tailored to their condition and overall health. Regular physical activity can help improve cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and overall well-being. However, it’s essential to follow these guidelines:

1. Consult a Doctor First

 • Before starting an exercise program, CKD patients should get medical clearance from their nephrologist.

2. Choose Low-Impact Exercises

 • Walking (brisk or incline walking)

 • Cycling (stationary or outdoor)

 • Swimming (if allowed)

 • Yoga or stretching

 • Light resistance training (bodyweight exercises or light weights)

3. Avoid High-Risk Activities

 • High-intensity exercises that cause excessive fatigue

 • Contact sports or activities with a high risk of injury

 • Heavy weightlifting without supervision

4. Monitor Symptoms

 • Stop exercising if you feel dizzy, short of breath, excessively tired, or have chest pain.

 • Stay hydrated but follow fluid restrictions if applicable.

5. Exercise Frequency & Duration

 • 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity activity (e.g., 30 minutes, 5 times a week)

 • Start slowly and gradually increase intensity

THERE IS NO PERFECT MARRIAGE

 "there's no perfect marriage. it always have ups & downs. but as long as there is love, respect & commitmmnt to stand together at all cost, i believe marriage can withstand. & the best is, if you put God on top, walang hindi malalagpasan sa lahat ng struggles ang mag-asawa."

ARIES

 Aries: They want to be your best friend (and then some). They get super excited and super energized when you’re around. They ask tons of questions. They’ll be very touchy-feely, and not afraid to make the first move. An Aries in love is a very caring, but very intense lover. When an Aries is falling in love with you, their attention is on you constantly.

ONE DAY

 "one day, you will look back on this time & all you will see is magic. you won't remember how stuck you felt or how far behind you thought you were or what you wished you had done differently. all you will see is that within your uncertainty was also your potential & within your lostness was also an opportunity to be found & within your discomfort was also a chance to see what you need to change & changing it was you becoming the person you were always meant to be. if there is one single thought that can comfort you in your darkest, quietest nights, please let it be this - one day, you will look back on this time & all you will see is magic."

TRAUMAS

 Ang mga traumas, hindi naman agad-agad na nag-heal yan. Hindi bukas, hindi next year, or even sa mga susunod na taon. Kaya sana, before tayo mag-comment na "ang tagal na nun, mag-move on ka na,

"let's think twice. Hindi porket hindi ganon kabigat sa atin or hindi natin naranasan, ay dapat okay na yung tao.

Iba-iba tayo ng healing process, and may mga bagay na sa iba ay super big deal, pero sa atin parang nothing. Pero doesn't mean na ganon lang kadali para sa kanila. Lahat tayo may mga pinagdadaanan, at hindi laging madali yun.

So, instead of judging or rushing them to move on, maybe it's better to just be there, listen, and give them space. Hindi laging kailangan may solution.

Sometimes, just having someone who gets it and isn't pushing you to get over it is already enough. - 

-Toni Gonzaga

EVEN WHEN LIFE BRINGS STORMS

 Even when life brings storms—trials that test your faith—they are not a problem. Let the winds blow. Let the storm rage. It doesn’t matter how fierce the storm is, how strong the winds are, or what schemes the devil tries to use. None of it will affect you as long as you live by His Word and obey His commands.

No matter the trials, the type of storm, or the tactics the enemy employs, they are all powerless and ineffective against a life rooted in obedience to God. The Lord does not call you merely a hearer of His Word but a wise person who builds their life upon a firm foundation.

We are obligated to live by the Word of God, and when we do, no storm can overcome us.

-Apostle Renato D. Carillo

DEREK RAMSAY TO TONI TALKS

 Derek Ramsay in his Toni Talks interview:

"Kaya ang advice ko nga sa mga bata is to get married when you're in your 40s. 

Sa babae, I would say early 30s so you can still have babies, kung gusto magkababy.

For guy, tapusin mo lahat ng gusto mong gawin, make sure may direction na buhay mo so that ma-enjoy mo ang marriage. Because it's hard when you jump into a marriage na you're still looking for food to feed yourself and then now you're responsible for another individual and then you go through those hard times which I'm not saying is impossible, but it can make or break you and in most cases, in todays society it breaks couples. There's so many temptations. For me, you need to be really stable it's like setting a strong foundation.

If you're 40 and you have no direction, then you have no right to get married. Because mag-aalaga ka pa ng isa pang tao or vice versa."

SILENT CUT OFF

 I’ve always believed in the power of silent cut-offs. Sometimes, actions speak louder than words, and when someone crosses a line, I don’t need to explain myself. The truth is, I don’t owe anyone a long explanation for why I choose to distance myself. If you’ve done something that hurt or disappointed me, you already know what you did—there’s no need for me to spell it out. The absence of communication can say more than any conversation, and it’s a way of asserting that I’m no longer willing to tolerate certain behaviors.

People often underestimate the strength in cutting ties quietly. It’s not about drama or making a scene; it’s about maintaining my peace and showing that I’m not interested in playing games or indulging in petty explanations. Those who know me understand that when I go silent, it’s because I’ve already made up my mind, and I’m not going to waste energy on what’s already been decided. Nobody is naive enough to not realize their actions—sometimes, leaving things unspoken is the most powerful response.

SPIRITUAL MENTORS

 (💙RM Sunday Reflections🙏)

BAKIT KELANGAN NAMIN

NG SPIRITUAL MENTORS

NA HINDI NAG-AAGREE 

AT IBA-IBA SILA.

———————————————————-

💙RM: Nung mas bata kami, BETTER sa amin

ang NAG-AAGREE at PARE-PAREHO 

ang mga spiritual mentors namin.

But as we got older, na-realize namin 

MAS MAGANDA pala na HINDI SILA NAG-AAGREE sa lahat

at IBA-IBA SILA.✔️

💙Story of the ELEPHANT & 6 BLIND MEN.

A group of blind men were inspecting an elephant

by touch: 

💙 1. The first felt its tusk, stating the elephant is that which is hard, smooth and LIKE A SPEAR.✅

💙 2. For another one whose hand reached its ear, 

it seemed like a LIKE A FAN.✅

💙 3. The blind man who placed his hand upon its side said the elephant, "IT IS LIKE A WALL.”✅

💙 4. Another who felt its tail, described it LIKE A ROPE.✅

💙 5. As for another person, whose hand was upon its leg, said, the elephant is a pillar LIKE A TREE-TRUNK.✅

💙 6. The last person, whose hand landed on the trunk, 

said, "This being is LIKE A THICK SNAKE.”✅

PRACTICAL APPLICATION:

 🔵 1. Some spiritual mentors SPECIALIZE IN EVANGELISM, dapat lahat ng tao ay share-ran about God.  Friendly at Charismatic sila, magaling mag-imbita dahil LIGHT LANG ang usapan. Madalas ang fellowship time together.

🔵 2. Some spiritual mentors SPECIALIZE IN THE PROPHETIC, dapat naririnig from God ANO ANG DIREKSYON AT MANGYAYARE IN THE FUTURE. Malalim at mahaba usually ang usapan.

🔵 3. Some spiritual mentors SPECIALIZE IN FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP. Magagaling at sobrang trustworthy sa paghawak ng pera. Lagi nilang sinasabi na IF U ARE FAITHFUL with LITTLE, God will bless you with VERY MUCH. Magaling sa negosyo at pagpapalago ng pera.

🔵 4. Some spiritual mentors SPECIALIZE in HEALING & DELIVERANCE. Hindi sila takot sa pagtanggal ng sakit galing sa madilim na espirito. Marami sila napag-pray na maysakit na gumaling, at aral sila sa IBA’T IBANG KLASE NG ESPIRITO NA GUMUGULO SA TAO.

🔵 5. Some spiritual mentors SPECIALIZE IN PASTORAL CARE. Yung maalagang-maalaga sa mga tao. Laging available at very supportive.

🔵 6. Some spiritual mentors SPECIALIZE IN TEACHING. Sila yung nagtuturo ng mahihirap na topics tulad ng END TIMES(paggunaw ng mundo sa dulo, tinatawag na ESCATOLOGY), THEOLOGY, APOLOGETICS, CHURCH HISTORY, etc.

——

REALIZATION: 

Walang IISANG SPIRITUAL MENTOR ang MALAKAS SA LAHAT. 

Laging may ISANG CORE STRENGTH at SPECIALTY.

At dahil SOBRANG STRONG NILA SA ISANG BAGAY, 

hindi sila same mag-isip kumpara sa ibang mentor 

NA IBA NAMAN ANG SPECIALTY.

KAYA MAGANDA na magkaroon ng iba’t ibang spiritual mentors na HINDI NAG-AAGREE…

at HINDI PARE-PAREHO 

dahil just like the ELEPHANT-BLIND MEN story, 

LUMALAWAK ANG PANANAW AT PAG-UUNAWA NATIN sa mga ispiritwal na bagay.

WE SEE OUR SUPER BIG GOD(ELEPHANT) BETTER!

INTROVERT

 BAKIT DAW HINDI AKO NAKIKIHALUBILO SA MGA TAO?!

"Many people say that I'm quiet, that I don't interact much or socialize with others. But what they don't know is that I have a reason for being this way. I know that a person's true character doesn't show when they're in favorable and comfortable situations. Their real nature comes out when they least expect it, when there are no cameras, no pressure, and when they're unprepared. That's why I prefer to observe, wait, and see how they treat others, how they act in the face of challenges or difficult situations. I don't spend my time on people who don't genuinely value me or whom I can't respect. Sometimes, being quiet and distant isn't because you can't socialize, but because you've learned to pay attention to who truly deserves your time and energy."

ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION

 Alam niyo ba na hindi lang sa NGAYON nangyayare ang DEPRESSION and ANXIETY?

Narito ang mga biblical figures na nakaranas ng depression o anxiety:

1. Elijah – Si Elijah ay nakaranas ng Situational Depression o Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood. Dahil sa pagod at takot sa banta ni Queen Jezebel, halos sumuko na siya sa buhay. Pero nagpadala si God ng angel para alagaan at palakasin siya (1 Kings 19).

2. David – Si David ay dumaan sa Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Ang kanyang matinding kalungkutan, guilt, at pagsisisi ay makikita sa mga Psalms, lalo na pagkatapos ng kanyang mga pagkakamali at pagsubok sa buhay (Psalm 51). Ang kanyang openness kay God ay nagpapakita ng kahalagahan ng pag-amin ng ating nararamdaman.

3. Jesus – Sa Garden of Gethsemane, nakaramdam si Jesus ng matinding Acute Stress Reaction. Dahil sa takot at bigat ng pasanin na Kanyang haharapin, humingi siya ng lakas kay God at pinagpawisan pa nga ng dugo, isang kondisyon na tinatawag na Hematidrosis (Luke 22:44).

4. Job – Si Job ay dumaan sa Reactive Depression o Grief-Related Depression, dahil sa matinding pagkawala ng kanyang mga mahal sa buhay, ari-arian, at kalusugan. Dito, ipinapakita ang tindi ng kanyang sakit at ang kanyang paglapit kay God para sa pag-asa (Job 3:11).

5. Jeremiah – Si Jeremiah, ang “Weeping Prophet,” ay nakaranas ng Chronic Sorrow o Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD), dahil sa patuloy na rejection mula sa kanyang mga kababayan at ang kanilang pagtalikod sa Diyos. Ipinakita ni Jeremiah ang kanyang emosyonal na pagkabalisa sa kanyang writings (Jeremiah 20:14-18, Lamentations).

6. Hannah – Si Hannah ay dumaan sa Situational Anxiety and Depression o Adjustment Disorder with Mixed Anxiety and Depressed Mood. Dahil sa pangungutya sa kanya sa kawalan ng anak, siya ay nakaramdam ng matinding lungkot at stress, kaya't siya ay umiyak at nag-pray kay God (1 Samuel 1:10-16).

Ang kanilang mga kwento ay paalala na maging sa pinakamatinding emotional na pagsubok, ang paglapit sa Diyos ang nagbibigay ng pag-asa, kalakasan, at kaginhawaan sa ating mental health struggles. Na kahit malakas na tayo o pinaka matatag na tao ay makakaranas nito NGUNIT walang impossible sa Dios. Sumandal at lumapit ka sa kanya ikay kanyang tutulungan.❤️

TIME CHANGE

 There's this one post in tiktok that stops me.

"Hindi na marami ang tubig ng instant noodles"

And that hits me, ang dami na palang nagbago nakakausad na pala kahit pa unti unti.

I had to read all the comments in that post.

"Sawsawan na yung toyo hindi na ulam"

"Hindi na magsisinungaling sina mama at papa na busog sila"

"May coke na kahit walang bisita"

"You can buy now jollibee, kahit walang okasyon"

"Hindi na itutulog ang pasko at new year"

"May cake na sa birthday"

"Hindi na naghihintay mabigyan ng lumang damit at sapatos ng pinsan"

"Cravings na lang ang sardinas"

"nakakapag grocery na yung batang inuutusan dati mangutang ng itlog at noodles sa tindahan"

And while reading this comments, I can't stop my tears. Kasi ganitong ganito din ako dati. I'm so proud by looking at all the comments.

It might still be a long way to go, but a lot of progress had already made. Acknowledge every progress, hindi mo man napapansin pero malayo ka na.

In life we might not get the things according to our plan but be patient because we cannot have it all at once. And to those who still fight their own battles, be patient I know soon all your hardworks would paid off kaya mo yan. I hope we all win in life!! @solana_xola

LISTEN

 "KAPAG NAKINIG KA SA ASAWA MO, MAGIGING MAAYOS ANG BUHAY MO" 💯

Sa bawat relasyon, laging may mga desisyon at usapang kailangang pagdaanan. Minsan, may mga pagkakataon na hindi magkatugma ang opinyon ninyo ng asawa mo. Pero dito nasusubok ang tunay na tibay ng pagsasama—sa pakikinig, pag-unawa, at pagbibigay ng respeto.👈👈👈

Kapag nakikinig ka sa asawa mo, hindi lang basta iniintindi mo ang kanyang sinasabi; binibigyan mo rin siya ng halaga. Pinaparamdam mo na importante ang kanyang opinyon at parte siya ng bawat hakbang na tatahakin ninyo bilang magkasama.💞

Maraming beses na ang simpleng pakikinig ay nagdadala ng solusyon sa mga alitan. Ito rin ang nagiging daan para maiwasan ang mga hindi pagkakaunawaan. Sa huli, natututo kayong maging mas maayos na mag-partner—nagpapakumbaba, nagko-kompromiso, at nagtutulungan.❤️

Kaya kung gusto mong maging masaya at maayos ang buhay mo, simple lang ang sikreto: makinig sa asawa mo. Hindi ito tungkol sa kung sino ang tama o mali, kundi kung paano ninyo mas pinipili ang pagmamahal kaysa pride. 😊❤️

SCATTER

 KWENTONG SCATTER

Hello 27 Female, Married. Soon to be mommy, and sobrang stress ko ngayon dahil sa mga pangyayari dahil sa sùgãl.

Kakakasal lang namin ng husband ko last 2022, matagal kaming magkarelasyon simula nung college pa lang kami. Magkaiba kami ng course, akala ko hindi kami tatagal kasi madami pang distraction nung college.

2022 after 7 years namin mag BF and GF nagpakasal na kami. Maayos na yung career naming dalawa, nasa IT Field sya sumasahod ng 150k per month, ako naman Medical yung course pero nasa IT Field din, nasa 90k monthly salary ko.

Nagstart yung problema ko nung nabuntis ako, nung nagpacheck up kami sinabi na maselan daw yung pagbubuntis ko dahil madami ako na experience na spotting, kaya ang advice ng doctor rest muna para mawala stress at hindi masyado mapagod. Napilitan ako magresign para sa baby namin.

Nung nasa bahay lang ako nacurious ako kung ano yung scatter na yan. Sobrang daming nagbabangit ng scatter na yan at nung una naman talaga wala akong pakealam. Pero siguro dahil bored na pa try na rin ako. Nung una cash in lang ako ng 1k per day, hindi ko pa alam kung ano ginagawa ko, spin lang ng spin. 

Sobrang corny nung una kasi spin lang ng spin tapos hindi ko alam nangyayari. Ang panget pa ng graphics nung mga nilalaro kong games. Kaya parang hindi rin ako na hook ng matagal.

Fast forward after 2 - 3 weeks ata, nakita ko yung ibang streamer na magaganda na yung graphics na nilalaro, nalaman ko na iba iba pala yung provider ng games. Nahook ako sa isang provider kasi sobrang madali intindihin yung games tapos maganda na yung graphics.

Nanalo din ako nung una, first max win ko parang 3 pesos bet lang, naging 45k. Ibang klase talaga yung feeling, sobrang saya. Naalala ko nung magBF/GF pa kami ng husband ko pag naglalaro kami sa mga (amusement park) sa mall, lagi kami masaya kapag napapalago namin yung mga token namin. 

Naalala ko pa dati, budget namin sa token nasa 50 to 100 pesos lang, then papalaguin namin magiging 50 to 100, then magbabastketball, videoke, at claw machines na kami. Ganun na ganun yung feeling, sobrang na miss ko din siguro..

Dati spin spin lang ginagawa ko nasa 3-5 pesos bet lang, max cash in ko nasa 1k lang per day, talagang libangan lang kasi hindi ko rin naman need ng money.

Hanggang sa nalibang na ako sa mga sl0ts games, yung dating spin spin lang naging buy bonus na, kasi nandun naman talaga yung pinaka exciting part. Yung dating 300 to 500 buy b0nus napalitan ng 3k hanggang sa umabot na ng up to 30k per buy bonus kakahabol ng talo.

Grabe yung sa buy bonus, minsan bibili ka worth 10k, kadalasan ang balik sayo 10% lang nung pera. Laging talo sa buy bonus pero hindi ko alam pero ganun pa rin ng ganun yung ginagawa ko.

Hindi ko namalayan na max na pala yung mga card ko kaka cash in almost 1.2m yung natalo sakin sa almost 3 months pa lang na paglalaro. Naubos lahat ng savings ko na sana budget namin mag asawa sa hospital panganganak at pagpapacheck up ko at ng baby ko.

Nagkautang pa ako sa banks. Sumabay pa na wala akong trabaho ngayon, kaya walang way para mabayaran yung CC ko. Yung dating laging fully paid yung credit card, ngayon minimum amount due na lang ang kaya kong bayaran. Ang hirap kasi dapat hindi ako stress kaya nga nagresign ako, pero mas sobra sobrang stress pa yung nararamdaman ko ngayon.

Nalulong na pala ako sa 0nl!ne, sobrang t@nga ko hindi ko alam gagawin ko. Halos araw araw gusto ko maglaro, kahit alam kong matatalo ako talagang gusto ko pa rin maglaro. Sobrang hirap sa mental health pala yung ganito.

First week ng December nagsend sakin ng 120k yung asawa ko sa online bank ko, 13th month pay daw nya para pangbudget ngayong pasko at pambili ng gifts sa mga pamangkin.

Nacashin ko yung 20k nagbabakasali na makabawi at madagdagan yung budget at makabayad ng onti sa utang, ang malala naubos yung 120k, ngayon tulala ako at nasusuka hindi ko alam kung ano gagawin.

Hindi ko masabi sa husband ko kung ano yung nangyari sakin, sobrang nahihiya ako sa kanya. Hindi ko na alam gagawin. Kung saan ako pupulot ng pera, gusto ko sana magwork para makabayad kahit papaano, pero iniisip ko si baby. 

Gusto ko umiyak at sabihin sa asawa ko pero natatakot ako. Hindi ko na alam gagawin ko. Masasabi ko na ito talaga yung rock bottom ko, sana malapamsan ko lahat ng ito 🙏

I LOVE YOU NESTOR

 you do not understand how necessary it is for me to hear your voice everyday. i want so much to just hold you & wake up beside you & just be there to love you 🥰😘

if i was to describe to you exactly why i love you, it would be just like me just trying to tell you how water tastes; indescribable 🥰😘

TRUE LOVE

 If you meet someone that has been through hell their whole life, but still remained big hearted… be careful with their love. They will change you, they will teach you true love, self love and to love life. They chose love their whole life…even when they were being damaged.

I DO NOT ASK FOR HELP OFTEN

 I don't ask for help often. I tried to manage all my issues on my own. I carried my life believing that my breakdowns are my responsibilities. Somehow, it's true.

But more than truth, I am just afraid and tired. Of explaining myself. Of hearing unsolicited advice. Of tolerating people whom I thought would understand me, but they wouldn't.

And so I distance myself. I don't loathe them, but I created a gap between us and a wall beneath me. I don't wanna be helped anymore.

It's just the more people disappoint me, the more I feel that I equate to them.
