In Quiet Moments

Turning Page

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for breaking your heart in the very way you warned me not to.

You knew before I did. You kept telling me that if I let my heart wander toward something uncertain, I would only end up here again. But I silenced you. I kept brushing you aside. I told you there was nothing to read between the lines—nothing to hold onto, nothing to lose.

I was wrong.

Just the look in his eyes.

For a brief moment, everything became painfully clear.

One glance was enough to awaken an ache I hadn't felt in years. Not loud enough to make me cry—just heavy enough to make the world fall quiet. The kind of sadness that settles deep within your chest and asks nothing of you except to be carried.

I'm sorry for making you believe this time would be different.

Maybe I only fell in love with the possibility of a page that was never mine to turn.

Maybe that's why I've been playing Turning Page over and over in the car. Somewhere along the way, I started believing it was becoming my story.

But it never was. Perhaps I only loved the idea of what could have been.

If I had only felt how it feels to be his. I would have known what I've been living for all along.

I won't search his eyes for answers anymore. I'll carry the silence instead.

And this time, I won't look back to the love I once held so quietly.

This is my goodbye.

He Is Patient With Struggling Hearts

Sometimes, the hardest battles are the ones nobody sees. The quiet overthinking before you fall asleep. Fear lingers longer than expected. Emotions become difficult to explain.

The quiet moments you whisper, “Lord, I’m trying… but I’m tired.” and maybe in those moments you started asking ''Am I disappointing You God, for feeling this way?"

Maybe you thought your anxiety made your faith weak. Maybe you felt guilty for struggling when everyone else seems okay.

But the beautiful truth is this: God is not waiting for us to become emotionally perfect or better before He chooses to stays near to us. He does not love us only in our strongest days. He remains beside us even in the middle of our battles, our overthinking, our tears, and our silent prayers.

God does not say, “Fix yourself first.” He simply says, “Give it to Me.” 1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”

God is not impatient with our healing. He is not frustrated by our emotions. He sits with us in our silence. He is patient with struggling hearts. He stays during our breakdowns. Our anxiety does not scare Him. Our struggles do not exhaust Him. Our emotional wounds does not make us less worthy of His presence. He listens to the prayers we cry.

Even when our faith feels weak, His love remains steady.

We are not failing because we are struggling.

Healing is often slow. Growth takes time. Some days will still feel messy. But God walks with us through every moment of our lives. And whatever season it may be; He will always and in all ways hold us with patience, grace and love.

Psalm 34:18 "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

into my life

you’re my one and only escape, the only place I can finally breathe, I’ve been waiting all my life for you, now every moment feels like home.

and if I had to live it all again, through every road I wandered through, I’d follow every star, every sign— as long as it leads to you.

Holding On to Hope

Psalm 27:13–14 (NKJV)

“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!”

There are days when life feels heavier than I can explain—when things don’t go the way I hoped, when prayers seem to linger in silence, and when the future feels uncertain and out of reach. In those moments, discouragement doesn’t always arrive loudly. Sometimes it comes quietly, like a slow fading of strength inside me.

And yet, this passage gently reminds me that even in that place, hope is still possible. “Unless I had believed…” Those words feel deeply personal. They remind me that faith is not about having certainty in my hands, but about choosing to trust God’s heart even when I cannot understand His timing.

“The goodness of the Lord in the land of the living” brings me back to center. It reminds me that God’s goodness is not only something far away or promised for someday—it is something I can still encounter here, in this very season, even in the waiting, even in the unknown.

And then there is the invitation to wait. Not an easy waiting, not a passive one, but a waiting that requires courage when I feel weary and strength when I feel like giving up. It is a waiting that asks me to keep trusting, even with trembling hands.

“Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart.” That promise feels like something I can breathe in when everything else feels uncertain.

So today, I choose to wait—not because I have all the answers, but because I still believe God is working. I choose hope, even in the quiet. I choose faith, even in the delay.

And I hold on to the assurance that I will still see His goodness in this life as long as I am breathing.

“I will restore to you the years that were lost.” — Joel 2:25

There are days my hands fall open in surrender, When “I can’t” sits heavy on my chest— But morning finds me anyway, Soft and steady, whispering Your mercy into my breath.

You meet me in the quiet, In the spaces where doubt used to live, And plant a hope I did not have the strength to grow.

Even when my eyes fail to see it, My heart somehow knows— You are moving beneath the surface of all things, Writing healing into places I thought was finished.

And one day, I will stand on the other side of this ache And recognize Your hands in every piece— How You gathered what was shattered, And gently, faithfully, made it beautifully whole again.

When the Time Is Right

I have held onto this promise since 2014, I remember writing it down.

Back then, I didn’t know how long “the right time” would take.

I only knew I had asked. A quiet prayer spoken in faith, carried through ordinary days, and tucked away in the corners of my heart where only God could fully see it.

At times, I wondered if the prayer had faded into the background of my life, replaced by new priorities and new seasons.

But it hadn’t.

It was still there—alive in a quiet way, shaping my patience, shaping my faith, shaping me.

Then 2025 came, promise unfolded.

It became something greater than the request itself. It became a testimony of timing, faith, and grace that carried me through years I now understand were never wasted. His faithfulness behind it.

Not rushed. Not forced. But fulfilled—exactly as it was meant to be; even more beautiful.

God did it. He made it happen—far beyond anything I could have ever imagined.

And these memories will remain in my heart forever.

MAGALAWA ISLAND, ZAMBALES (PHOTO DIARY)

Setting the mood right for your next road trip, I hope.

Z A M B A L E S  you are beautiful.  💙

[momentsfillingthespaces]

The place I hold very dear to my heart.

I will never forget; stars sprinkled like sawdust, neon sunsets, or the faith I found again in your eyes.

Where the sun and the moon that still shines

As it fizzles back in silence

As it settles into dust

I will carry all my longing

In rippled memories of us

For all I know of love  

Is love that is of you

And though you have begone

Still my love will see you through.

Awayday in Ilocos

We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more. 

What a great treat to have a few days leave to travel around the beautiful places of Ilocos and discover all its countless histories. We only had 2days trip it was pretty short time to go through each destinations, we had to meet each time per location so we would be able to enjoy the whole itineraries. 

And this wouldn’t be possible without the help of #WTFTravelTours :) 

Special thanks to them, for giving us smooth, hassle free and worth remembering 2 days tour trip. Definitely will book to them again our next destination. 

The day were ended up lying by the sea; it’s always good to let your hair down once in a while, and get a little lost to unknown places with the people who are with you through good times and even in the worst days of you.

Furthermost, to travel far and wide gives you a look in your life; how you see things clearly in the most quiet times of a day, to remind yourself that it’s okay to give your heart a rest for a day or maybe a week or a month; until you are ready to flow again. 

With love in all ways.

I found in you, mine.

There are moments in the day I fill my head with your image just to lessen the amount of pain of how my heart is missing you so, and how appallingly my hands longed to hold yours.

From where I stand, even we’re far apart - you are the stars against my dark nights, you we’re my very own gentle wind. In what might and what will never be; you were the only one I terribly love so deep. 

In all ways that no one can fathom.

 In secret and in splendour; know that it will always be you. 

  Like the day I found in you, mine.

HOME

This place will always keep us together.

I can never turn back the time when we’re all still complete; but if I could - I would capture all their beautiful faces and hang their pictures on the wall, stare at them and recall every single details of it. Just like the old days.

- Where my heart belong.

Onto Something New: Mt.Tibig (Lobo Batangas)

For the first time around, I got to trek Mt. Tibig and it was quite challenging to go to this kind of adventure I have never done before.

Although I’m not really into trekking for the only reason that I have asthma so since it has to be a long long day of up and down trek I was kind of scared to try, but I believe there’s always new to discover -  adventures that will definitely fill my world and supplies my soul. 

So with almost 7 hours deadly walk and as someone who honestly way to give up (but thankful I didn’t)  just to get there at top of what they called summit (the peak) where you would really see the entire land of Batangas, clouds that you can almost touch- IT WAS INDEED A GREAT EXPERIENCE. Definitely out of words to describe how beautiful and amazing this God’s creation. 

My heart will always rest in Your love.

[momentsfillingthespaces]

This wasn’t like before

Everything seems to shatter

They’re all falling into pieces

I could no longer think straight

Tell me does your love really fade away

  I have never felt this

My life was all about you

Why suddenly I don’t matter to you

Have you tried to stare in my eyes?

Do they look the same?

Do you feel the sadness through it?

Sunflower Girl

Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

Elegance is achieved when all that is superfluous has been discarded and the human being discovers simplicity and concentration: the simpler and more sober the posture, the more beautiful it will be -

I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfill our destiny, but our fate is sealed.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.
