Home Sweet Home
We’re home. After six months of patiently waiting and persistently praying, we are here in our own home. I am talking about our earthly home, of course. Well, it’s already eight months since our wedding so we are living here in our own home for two months now. Yet, I wanted to put into these white digital papers what happened during those painful months (there’s no way that it was literally…

Blue Jeans
If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be? I would pick my blue jeans and any comfy t-shirt, paired with my DC sneakers. I am more of a casual-jeans-and-shirt woman than a dress-or-skirt-with-heels one. I am not fashionable so I would just go with a simple jeans and shirt. I could wear them every day, wherever I go.

Just Always Pray At Night
What countries do you want to visit? JAPAN. This is a no-brainer for me. I was given opportunity and privilege to visit this country way back 2016 for work’s business trip and I would definitely love to go back and visit as a tourist. I even wrote blogs about it. See links…

Three Books only?
List three books that have had an impact on you. Why? I am a reader. And when I say that, I mean that I am not just a reader but a bibliophile and I really love books, no matter what genre it is. So, ask me the three books that had an impact on me, why only three? I own more than a hundred books already! Oh, this is a tough one! But let’s try… 1. The Bible. Of course, this is the first and…

Seeing the Positive after Testing Positive
More than a year ago, August 2021, another ECQ was announced. The second one that year already. I felt okay when it started because despite the closing of our centers and stopping of our company operations that time, we were allowed to work from home for 5 days. It was still a bit stressful but it lessened because there were no centers who bugged me every now and then. For two weeks, I was…

One of Them Days
It’s been so long since I last did this: opening the closet of my feelings and let them all clutter to the floor, then pick them up and try to make sense of them one by one. It’s often difficult for me to understand what I truly feel in every occasion of my life, let alone express them, so I just put them in the closet and just figure them out “later” until I forget and they all pile up inside.…

Decluttering
Okay, makalat na naman dito ngayon. Ang gulo ulit. There’s too much going on. Hindi na naman ako nagiging productive. I need to take a pause and do something about the mess. So here I am, looking at myself and trying to gather the scattered litter of feelings and thoughts one by one so that I can organize it before I can fully function. This is what I do whenever I think that my mind and my…

Today is my birthday.
Today is my birthday.
Today is my birthday and I am sad. Really, really sad. Or is it annoyance? Hurt? Frustration? I don’t know. I am not one to celebrate birthdays. I mean, yes, I greet family and friends during their birthdays but during mine, it’s just too awkward for me. Yes, I’m weird that way. I don’t want to celebrate, I don’t want to go out, meet and talk to other people because they will just either ask me…

I found one of the slambooks that I had as a child. Flipping through the pages, I tried answering the questions myself now and I spent a lot of time in this one: Describe yourself. What I found interesting are the answers of my childhood friends. Many of them wrote ‘Judge me.’ If we are to be given a chance to judge other people, even those close to us, perhaps we’ll have a whole lot to say. We’re all very good judgers. Good for ourselves, at least. Right or right? We have judged many throughout our lives. We have judged the actions and even the motivations of others, as if we somehow knew what those were in deep truth. We have judged the color of skin and body language and body odor. We have judged history and relationships. We have even judged the value of a person’s life by the quality of our concept of beauty. By all accounts, we are quite well practiced in judging. But on what criteria do we base our judgments? By whose standards? Our own? So we’re all superior than others? We think we are because judging requires that we think ourselves superior over the one we judge. It can be very easy to fall into the trap of judgment because we all have a high standard of how we want each other to live. We know what the Bible says and we expect each other to act like it. Judgment has a slippery little way of sneaking its way into our hearts if we aren’t paying attention to our motives. It’s a sin that can sometimes be birthed from a pure place of longing for justice, but when only justice is present and grace gets left behind, it leaves both sides feeling wounded. The Scripture is very clear about judging others and you and I certainly heard if not knew about it. “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.” Matthew 7:1-2 I tried to dodge this and save myself, but I was shot. I really am guilty. So, time to reflect: Where do ‘I’ stand in the light of my ‘own’ moral judgement/judgment? 💭😫🙋🏻♀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/COz5VkUlc6Y9cWofvcW5_Xo2NGf9n1gv5ytTpc0/?igshid=cczxbvja1obq
Imagination. Such a powerful ability! But without wisdom, imagination could be cruel. We are designed to live in the present, right? But where do we spend most of our time in our mind, in our imagination: past, present, or future? Some spend very little time in the present. Some spend a big piece in the past, but most of the rest of the time, we’re trying to figure out the future. God is different. When we say He “dwells” in us, He does so in the present. Though He also lives in our past and future, He is ever in our present. Although much can be remembered and learned by looking back in the past, but only for a visit, not an extended stay. What about the future? Does He dwell in the future ‘we’ visualize or imagine? Have we reflected of our imagination of the future? Perhaps it is almost always dictated by fear of some kind, but do we, if ever, picture Him there with us? Where do we spend most of our time in our mind? 🧐💭 “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” Proverbs 19:21 https://www.instagram.com/p/COyumrnFoK6nujUNA5UMLKd5QtXD68hPr8Jnpc0/?igshid=u02fj36twb8b
When you’re little, night time is scary because there are monsters hiding right under the bed. When you get older, the monsters are different: self-doubt, loneliness, regret... and though you may be older and wiser, you still find yourself scared of the dark because that’s where our own ‘monsters’ are hidden. Darkness hides the true size of fears and lies and regrets. The truth is that they are more shadow than reality, so they seem bigger in the dark. When the light shines into the places where they live inside you, you start to see them for what they are. Why do we keep all that inside us? Perhaps because we believe it’s safer there. Sometimes, when you’re a kid trying to survive, it’s really safer there. Then you grow up on the outside, but on the inside you’re still that kid in the dark cave surrounded by monsters, and out of habit, you keep adding to your collection, until you get lost in it. So how does that change for somebody who’s lost in the dark? Most often pretty slowly. You can’t do it alone. Some try it with all kinds of mechanisms and mental activities. It helps but the monsters are still there, just waiting for the chance to come out. So how? Perhaps you also need to learn to live loved. Not an easy concept, yes. You need to have a real relationship with your Creator. The connection is real, the friendship, not merely imagined. He wants to share and experience your journey with you where He also gets to hear you grumble and complain. But you, too, get to share in His wisdom and learn to love with His love. Then you slowly realize that it doesn’t have to be dark inside all the time. You realize that “light” is needed to be able to see and overcome all the fears, sadness, regrets, insecurities that we’re collecting inside over time. And the light? It’s found in John chapter 1. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5 https://www.instagram.com/p/COUtQOTl0Icry8fTgRRYXJvJ0k8n0XJaYuloys0/?igshid=19yrgugfz128m
