When you are tired of proving yourself...

Mayroong pagod na hindi galing sa trabaho o dahil kulang ka sa tulog. It comes from constantly trying to prove yourself – lalo na sa mga tao na hindi ka naman binigyan ng space to hear you out or even given you the benefit of the doubt.

You show up. You help. You offer what you know, what you have, what you can… And somehow, it still gets misunderstood. Twisted. Minimized. Ignored.

May mga moments na gusto mong i-explain ang side mo – ipagtanggol ang sarili mo, sabihin ang buong katotohanan, call out what you see behind the curtain. Pero alam mo sa sarili mo: hindi naman sila magbabago.

Because some people don’t listen to understand. They listen to confirm what they already believe. They listen to “keep the peace” but not create it. They listen but they are still leaning towards their loyalty biases.

And sometimes… hindi lang talaga sila naniwala sa iyo in the first place.

I’ve been wrestling with that lately. That ache of being seen as “less than” some people. The sting of unfair comparison. The silence where support should’ve been. The weight of always being the one trying to bridge the gap, only to be left out of the picture entirely.

But today, I’m choosing to let go. Hindi dahil sa hindi ako nasaktan. Pero dahil ayoko nang dalhin yung bigat ng bitterness na dala ng mga hurts ko any longer.

🌿 I’m surrendering the need to be understood. 🌿 I’m releasing the expectation that certain people will ever see me differently. 🌿 I’m placing the ache—all of it—into the hands of Jesus.

He sees. He knows. He was there for every wound I couldn’t name. And in Him, I don’t have to prove anything to be worthy of love.

If you’ve ever felt like the outsider in your own story, like your voice was too often muted or your value overlooked—YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

And the truth is, hindi mo kailangang makipagunahan sa upuan na binigay ni God para s aiyo. It’s already there, waiting for you.

We are seen, loved, and enough. Just as we are. 🩷

Stop Masking Insult and Shame as Jokes

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A SOCIAL COMMENTARY AND NOT AIMED AT ANY ONE PERSON. If you feel triggered, please take a moment before reacting. Read at your own risk and with an open mind.

Respectful dialogue is welcome, but I will not tolerate any harmful or disrespectful comments—those will be removed.

--

I just noticed this past election (much more evidently than the last) that we Filipinos have this mentality wherein we make insult and shaming as jokes. Siguro to lighten the blow perhaps? But in reality, it doesn’t help—it actually does more harm than good.

I’m looking at this post mocking the 3 million voters of a certain candidate, calling them "crazy" and saying we need more psych professionals to help them. And honestly? I don’t think they’re crazy at all.

They are people who have been conditioned to think a certain way, often by years of influence, fear, culture, media, or even trauma. That’s not something to laugh at—it’s something to grieve. Kasi mahirap mabuhay sa mundo na ang pinanghahawakan mong “truth” is something that was planted in you by manipulation. That’s not just misinformation—it’s a kind of mental captivity. A form of brainwashing.

And while I won’t name names, history has shown us what this kind of tactic can do. We’ve seen it before, how a strong personality can condition entire nations—and the damage that follows.

Unfortunately, you can’t always reason with people who are deeply rooted in a belief system. Any attempt to do so is often met with resistance, even hostility. You’ll be painted as the enemy, the “elitist,” the “dilawan,” or the “woke.” But still—we try.

Because when we begin to understand why they think that way, we also begin to understand how to speak with them—not from a place of inis or superiority, but from compassion. Not to manipulate back, but to gently sow truth. Not to cancel them, but to connect.

We need less mocking, more listening.

Less pride, more patience.

Less “buti nga” and more “paano kaya natin sila matutulungan makita ang mas malawak na picture?”

Building bridges won’t always feel rewarding—but it’s the only way forward. And in a world so divided, choosing empathy is an act of quiet rebellion.

How long has it been?

If there is one thing that I can't really stop doing, it's writing. So here we are, restarting this space. But recently, I have a lot of things that I'd love to share to those who would be kind enough to follow my blogging. We can maybe try doing video logs as well? I'm not the kind of person who actually loves doing that but.. what the heck? Let's do it! :)

I'm kind of thinking of making this a safe space to share what's on my mind and share some struggles I'm going through, particularly with my healing journey with my emotional wounds. Hopefully we can share some hope and encourage people to face their own healing journey, no matter how hard it can be. And just put it out there that there's support and help needed once they're ready.

So here's to another chapter! Love you mga Mumsh! <3

[mumshmandz]

Straightforward reminder from King David. If you're weak - the best person to depend on is Jesus. He is strong in our weakness. He is a finisher. He is the author and starter of our faith. We can trust that when we ask for strength, He is able to strengthen us. In all circumstances, we can go to Jesus for help - always. ♥️ God bless everyone. #morning #bibleverse #blessings #fyp #fypシ https://www.instagram.com/p/CpQ8HJvyFPj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wish I could be.. part of that world!

So I did something today that's totally out of the character that I've made for myself for the past couple of years. I actually submitted an application to a dream job.

I'm betting on faith. When I was growing up, I wanted to be part of that world (get it?). I dreamed of acting for them. But it seems fate has a different way of getting me in, so with the skills I have made for myself in the past few years.. I (yes, I) applied for job as an Assistant Social Media Manager.

So it's that time wherein you cross your fingers and say.. CRAAAAP!

Then hope for the best.

Regardless of what happens, I'm just happy I did that.

Better than regrets, right?

"How can I help you?"

The most annoying thing I can hear from another person is when they start off, "Kasi ako..." and then expect for me to do the same thing as they did. Yes, I understand what you're saying, but then again, we're not the same now, are we?

It's better when it's like, "It seems like you're in a bind. How can I help?" or "I understand what you're going through. I also experienced that once and here's what I did. Not saying it will work on you, but you can try."

It's really weird for me because I already know I made a mistake. I'm trying to make ends meet and here you are an all assuming and self-righteous person trying to tell me it will be better if I do it your way.

Come on. #annoyed

Back to Blogging (Micro or Otherwise)

I recently quit my job to focus on our business(es). So here I am back to writing. Having a business can be stressful as hell. But I credit the grace God has graciously given to me, as well as people who are always rooting for me, to be where I am today.

--

The worst feeling a person can feel is that of lack of support - be it financially or morally or emotionally. Any entrepreneur always faces the big challenge of undertaking a huge risk or task in front of them. It's unfortunate that I have experienced a lot of those. That's why I would never do that to my kids. Yes, I do have limitations. But I would never ever let them feel like they're alone or that I don't believe in them. As Ted Lasso says, "BELIEVE".

--

You are only as big as the risk you're willing to take. If you're the type of person that avoids risk, then don't expect to live an extraordinary life. But if you're a risk taker, then expect to reap a bigger reward than others. Yes, the tendency to fail is greater when you take a higher risk - but so is learning, growth, and prosperity. So it's for you to choose.

--

I heard many people say, "PAST IS PAST". I also heard people say, "FORGIVE AND FORGET". After years of really bad experiences, here's what I learned. Past is past - YES! Don't allow what happened in the past to dictate what is your present, which will ultimately predict your future. The people I had the most difficulty dealing with are what I call "grave diggers" - people who like to dig up the graves of the past just to spit them at your face and tell you all the negative things that happened to them or to you and just there to discourage you. Grave diggers are miserable people who want you to share in their misery. There's no use talking to those people, if only out of respect.

But does that mean that you forget the past and never look back? Not necessarily. That's why there's the second phrase that comes with this -- FORGIVE AND FILTER. Yes, I did change the second word and here's why.

To forget means to have no memory of what happened. It's like it never happened, which is technically impossible because it did happen - whether it's good or bad.

So what memory do you retain and which do you forget?

Forget the incident - Retain the lesson. ---> FILTER.

Why did I leave the forgiveness part? Because IT'S A MUST!

A person can't move on if they can't forgive either one's self or others. A person who is moving on means they've already forgiven and now wants to take action in the present. And also, as a believer in Jesus Christ, forgiveness is a commandment that I need to abide which benefits not only me but the people around me as well.

So always forgive. Then filter.

Why do we need to filter?

Because we need to remember the key things where we failed so that we learn from them. So that the bad memory we want to forget is forgotten and never repeated. And if it's a good thing, so that we continue doing it and improve it if needed.

So forgive, then filter.

The Science and Art of Keeping Score

Currently reading the 4 Disciples of Execution by authors Chris McChesney, Jim Huling, Sean Covey as part of my personal study in my growing role in our startup. I haven't gotten to the meat yet. But reading the quick run-through of the 4 disciplines does things to me.

I am particularly attracted to the 3rd discipline which is the Discipline of Engagement which is best described as "keeping score". Not to belittle the other disciplines as they need to co-exist with each other. But in all honestly, this particular topic is a breath of fresh air and an eye-opener for me personally.

It says and I quote,

"the highest level of performance always comes from people who are emotionally engaged and the highest level of engagement comes from knowing the score—that is, if people know whether they are winning or losing".

Then the illustration is that of someone who is playing a game of basketball or any type of sport. The gameplay changes when the scoring starts. When players are aware of the score, they play differently. And if they're not aware, there's also a significant difference in the way they play.

As someone who loves sports, I totally understand this concept. But I never understood what "playing to win" really means, until that is, I read this book.

I thought playing to win means getting ahead of your competitors and do whatever it takes - including trash-talking - in order to bring home the prize.

But then I realize where the true competition is - it's not out there - it's within. Competition is about being personally engaged with the score enough to be in step with it until you see yourself winning.

I need to be engaged with the score, not with the other players. Measurements are there in order to tell me if I'm engaged with the score or not. It's not about them, it's about me, my team, my company, my business.

The reality of sports is that whoever wins is the one who is most engaged with the score and creates the necessary adjustments in order to be in step with the score and advance it just enough to get ahead with whoever it is they're playing with.

That's the science and the art of it.

It's not about getting ahead. It's about being engaged.

Looking back, now I realized why I was always winning 2nd place in my Extemporaneous Speaking Competitions instead of 1st. Or why I was not the 1st in our class when I have the capacity to be one.

I was afraid of keeping score. I was afraid to be engaged in whatever it is I'm doing. But that changes today.

If life is a game, then I need to play. If it is a game, I need to keep score. The same goes for everything else in life. If we want to execute properly, look at it as a game.

Play it and keep scores. Do the science and the art of it.

I'm kinda excited to implement this actually - both personally and professionally.

Rediscovering Sparks Once Lost

After making some major decisions about my life in the last few months, I was able to make some room to go back to some of the constant love affairs in my life -- movies, music and books.

Currently, I'm in the middle of reading about 4 books dispersed in the categories of business, management, self-development and leadership (since I'm currently running a startup).

I'm also currently watching a lot of movies that influenced me growing up which includes some greats like A Few Good Men, The Green Mile, Rashomon, Ran, etc. And discovering a lot really well-made movies that make a cinephile's heart tickle.

But what I'm really stoked about is that I'm (finally) able to binge my all time fave show, Saturday Night Live. I've rediscovered my love for comedy. And somehow I realized why I loved this show in the first place -- they're just damn good at their craft. (Salute to Lorne Michaels for making an establishment that stands for 40 years and running, and able to run DESPITE the pandemic.)

For those who know me personally, I absolutely freaking love comedy. From standup to sketch, from blue to observational to farce -- I love it. For me, comedians (especially the REALLY good ones) are one of the most intelligent people in the world. They observe. They acknowledge life's uglies -- and somehow they're able to spin it to something that's really, well.. FUNNY.

So what I did was (unashamedly) stan some of the cast members that really made an impression (no pun intended there) on me -- Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, Seth Myers & Jason Sudeikis (which many say make up the best cast of SNL) -- and their work AFTER their SNL days.

And (gasp), I found just found their material to be really, really good. So good, it surpassed what they have done on their stint on the show which is, by the way, already brilliant.

Watched The Skeleton Twins which featured Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig and absolutely loved it. Also saw The Bridemaids with Wiig in the lead. Currently really loving Wiig's versatility.

Documentary Now is such a freaking amazing production - making mockumentaries out of ACTUAL documentaries. Not everyone will appreciate this, but if you try to get the elements together and compare them with the original, it's just anal. Produced by Seth Myers, Fred Armisen & Bill Hader -- it's just pure brilliance. Add to that, John Mulaney -- currently loving his standup and who, I think, is one heck of a writer -- also wrote for them which is just ahhhh... (in a good way).

Barry (Bill Hader) is just something I absolutely love Where do you get an idea that a hitman enrolls in an acting class? The idea is just absurd it's unbelievable and amazing at the same time. The whole series is a conflict in itself. When it will climax? We don't know. But this I know -- Can't wait for season 3!!! Agggh.

And now, I'm about to subscribe to Apple TV because I want to watch Ted Lasso with Jason Sudeikis at the helm. Watched a couple of previews and I can see this is another well-written and thought of series.

I can go on and on and if I don't stop, this won't end. So I have to stop myself. Starting --- NOW. (See what I did there? Barry fans react.)

--

So what's the take away from all the non-sense I've written? It feels good to rediscover previous love affairs that somehow ignited that spark of creativity and life in you. And by love affairs, I didn't mean that LITERALLY (By the way, that's dangerous, especially if you're married like me. Haha).

Honestly, I've been living in a bubble for the past few years. And it's just nice to be able to experience LIFE. And to be inspired by great individuals who were able to achieve success -- NOT BY BEING POPULAR -- but by really working their ass off in their craft and making it. Most of these people I've mentioned gained recognition during their mid-30s and now enjoying the fruit of their labors in their 40s.

It's never too late. There was someone who kept on telling me that I'm already too old to do something. I know it was a reverse psychology jedi thing. But honestly, reverse psychology doesn't work --- unless you're a 2 year old. And truth is, why reverse when you can just say it straight to one's face (just saying).

Here's my tip for you, dear reader --Rediscover the sparks that you once lost. Being able to see people that you're able to relate to and able to learn from helps you see that the world is BIG. And the possibilities are endless. I'm not an American, but darn, they knew what they were talking about when they say "Chase that American dream."

For me it's these. But for you it might be something different. I haven't even talked about food. Hahaha. But then again, there's another blog for that.

Humility & Accountability

Me and my business partner evaluated our business directions for the company. Needless to say, I did make certain mistakes. And I am also in need of a SERIOUS character development. So he confronted me with my flaws, my weaknesses. He told me what I can improve.

And that's when I realized that humility is connected with the truth --- confronting brutal facts about life and making critical decisions to set them straight. Growing in humility is not about not receiving praise. It's not about not being confident in one's accomplishments.

Humility is about knowing the truth -- about who you are and who you are not. And if there's something that needs to be changed or corrected, you are teachable enough to admit it and improve it. Humility is also about rejecting those that is not part of who you are or is trying to change you for the worse.

And what I really found out that helps keep you grounded is accountability. It's about finding people who you can trust and are honest enough to tell you about your own shit so you can do something about it.

I'm just thankful that I have people who are accountable to me being a wife, in my job, in my career, in my business. I'm thankful that there are people who are keeping me grounded in my faith.

And I'm just thankful that these people are not scared to tell me the honest brutal truth. THANK YOU.

Business is all about giving value. Give value to your purpose. Give value to the people you work with. Give value to your customers. Give value to your partners. In business, generosity will push you forward in everything, especially value. Not everything is monetary.

[mumshmandz]

One of my jobs as a CEO is to make everyone happy - myself, my team, our advisors, our business partners and our customers. If they're not.. it's back to the drawing board and figuring out the solution.

Do Few Things. Do Them Well

I have been watching some helpful videos to help guide me in my journey in the world of business. And one of the key principles that I have been picking up from different speakers and authors is the ability to select a few tasks and focus on them and make sure that it's excellent.

Do Few Things. Do Them Well.

There is an epidemic that spread a few years back called "multitasking". Merriam defines this word as the ability to perform multiple tasks at one time. The other definition is what struck me.

It says, "the concurrent performance of several jobs by a computer".

So it's a computer's job to multitask (as being a machine). But what about people? What about our employees? Is it healthy to promote this practice within a company or organization? Should I encourage my employees to wear "many hats"?

A healthy leader promotes health not drive slaves.

A study conducted by American Psychological Association shows that multitasking, even if seems like a viable solution to make things go faster and do more in a company, actually is damaging to the brains of our employees AND contributes to 40% overall drop in productivity.

Just when you think you're doing more, you're actually accomplishing less. The truth is, the human brain was not designed for heavy-duty multi-tasking. As a result - your talent gets burned out.

Not only that. According to a study done by Stanford University, wearing many hats actually adds to a person's stress levels. Every time you switch tasks, your IQ level drops by 15 points, which is - suprisingly - 3x more damaging than the effects of smoking marijuana.

The study also stresses that multitasking makes people less creative, less productive AND MORE likely to be prone to distraction - getting them disinterested in completing a task.

Multitasking is DISTRACTION. PERIOD.

When I started our startup, I was high on the multitasking mountain - I was a mother, a wife, a writer, a church leader, a public speaker, a Digital Marketing Project Manager AND a startup CEO and CMO. There was a time that it feels good to have a lot under your name isn't it? But that would require me fulfilling like 4-5 different roles with about 6-7 more tasks underneath. And while many people drop their jaws and tell me that it's quite a remarkable feat -- I realize IT'S NOT (with emphasis on not).

Truth is, I got burned out. I was not creative. I did not feel like I'm accomplishing anything. Plus, I began to neglect my family and responsibilities towards them. Bills are not getting paid on time. And basically, I was just overall distracted.

And now that we're in the 1st month of our operations at @shapets

I am starting to let go of tasks more and delegating them to my leaders. I am also trying to focus my time on doing less so I can do them well and accomplish more.

In so doing, I had more time for my family and I had more time in putting all my efforts in to building this amazingly create venture for the whole pet community in the Philippines.

But I'm not all rigid. I understand that there are seasons that we need to play multiple tasks as we build something from scratch. But eventually, growth and maturity and effectivity happens when we learn to do few things and do them well.

Digging Deep Down the Brain

Starting a start-up (pardon the pun), is not easy.

It's quite challenging. But for a person who loves a challenge, this is something that I go for. However, I am writing this down because there's this thing that just came into my realization.

As of this writing, I am already 33 years old. I graduated from college roughly 10 years ago. Yes, starting a company at 33 is a bit late... but I'm a late bloomer, what can I say? :)

So now we're on that part of the building up process of the company where I'm studying pitch decks and how to best present our startup to potential investors. We're already got everything down on the research. I have person helping us with the projections. And I have a small team already putting the platform together.

As I was studying, I realized pitch decks are a LOT like thesis presentations. You do the research. You find the problem. You offer a solution. You defend it to a group of panelists. In the case of pitch decks, it's an investor or a group of them.

Then I realized, that education is IMPORTANT. Imagine, I took up my thesis and defended it roughly 10 years ago. And after 10, I actually put it to use! I dug deep down in my brain for that one. And never did I imagine that I can just pull it up somewhere even after a decade of lying there hidden in my subconscious. Yes, I do have to do a little dusting, brush up and update my knowledge.

Knowledge is important. Without knowledge, you will have no application. Right knowledge leads to right application. Continue to learn, because you never know when you need to dig down deep in order to use something for a very important stuff.. like getting investors for a startup! :)

Romans 2:11 NIV

For God does not show favoritism.

This morning, I was led to read again the book of Romans. My appreciation to the apostle Paul for writing this highly intellectual letter which explains the beauty of the Gospel of Christ for us all.

And as I was reading, this small line struck me. On the onset, it might look like God is a stuck-up. Wala daw favorite si God.

So why is it when we pray, we ask for God's favor? Isn't that contradictory? And it may appear that "NO ONE" can even come near or drae close to God for a personal relationship.

So what did Paul mean when he wrote that "God does not show favoritism."?

The answer lies on the first word "FOR". For is conjunction which is synonymous to "because" or "since". This shows a reason for a certain action. A cause that leads to an effect.

So, if "God does not show favoritism" is the cause. Nasaan ang effect? It's in the first few verses above it.

Romans 2:5-11 NIV

But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath , when his righteous judgment will be revealed. God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” To those who by persistence indoing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.

Now, we see the whole picture. Paul was actually talking about man's stubborness and unrepentance to sin which in the end will have a cost to be paid for. Paul was talking about God being a judge to man's unrighteousness and sin.

Pagdating sa kasalanan, God shows no favoritism.

What does this mean for all of us?

We are not exempted from God's wrath towards sin. Mas lalo na kapag we continue to live our lives with a stubborn and unrepentant heart. It will cost us in the end.

Sabi nga ni Mordo sa Dr. Strange, "The bill comes due." This is very true about SIN.

And God will repay us for every action that we do towards sin.

In the original letter, Paul was talking to Jews and Gentiles alike. And he was explaining simply to the Jews na hindi sila exempted sa judgment ng Panginoon sa kasalanan, even though they have the Law of God given through Moses. Regardless if inobserve nila lahat ng rituals or sinunod ang lahat ng batas sa Torah. Kasi, they will be judged according to the Law.

But, the Gentiles (non-Jew) will also be judged and will repay each action accordingly.

So pantay sila.

How does this apply to us?

Kung babalewalaain mo lang ang sinasabi at nirereveal ni Lord sa atin about our sins... GOD WILL REPAY YOU.

If you decide to accept the righteousness of God and step away from a life of sin... GOD WILL REPAY YOU.

GOD DOES NOT SHOW FAVORITISM.

God doesn't favor a religion over the other when it comes to sin.

God doesn't favor a person over the other when it comes to sin.

God doesn'f favor a church over the other, a country over the other, a race over the over, a more intellectual over the other nor the kinder over the other.

Wala din ditong usapan about kung sino ang mas maraming naibigay sa ibang tao, sino ang mas may natulungan, or kung sino ang pinakadeboto sa lahat.

GOD SHOWS NO FAVOR OVER SIN. Lahat tayo pantay pantay pagdating sa kasalanan.

So paano yan? Wala nang kawala?

Actually, this is evidence of God's favor for all of us. So God's favor is true in spite that He shows no favoritism over sin.

Paano? I think I understand the reasoning of Paul. If lahat tayo pantay pantay pagdating sa kasalanan.. Then lahat tayo pantay-pantay din pagdating sa GRACE.

If God shows no favor over sin, then God shows no favor over grace. The opportunity for repentance is given to ANYONE who approaches God and decides to accept His righteousness. The opportunity to live a life apart from sin is available to all. The opportunity to live a God-pleasing life is available to anyone who does decide to do so.

How? Through the person of Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:22 NIV

This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile.

The righteousness of God is given to us in the Gospel and person of Christ Jesus. This is what will save us from sin. And this is what will give us the opportunity to live a life pleasing and honoring to God.

So the question is, can we live a life under God's favor even though He shows no favoritism over sin? The answer is YES.

How?

1. Accept the righteousness of God through the gospel of Jesus.

Paul said, that we can only be saved through the Gospel of Jesus. Jesus is the only way that both Jews and Gentiles can both be saved.

God provided only one way for salvation to show us walang pinapaboran ang Diyos kasalanan.

Whether you accept the Gospel or not is entirely up to you. But remember.. GOD WILL REPAY YOU ACCORDINGLY ACCORDING TO YOUR ACTION TOWARDS SIN.

2. Repent from not only from sin, but also from a stubborn and unrepentant heart.

The more habor unrepentance and stubborness towards sin, the more we are delaying the inevitable.

Judgement is a reality that we can't escape from. Pero kung sabihin sa iyo ng judge na may pagkakataon ka pa para makalaya sa kaso mo, hindi mo ba yan iga-grab?

Pag sinabi nya na may paraan para ma-abswelto ka hindi mo ba papatulan?

Sin for all of us is a death sentence we can't escape from. And God as a judge shows no favoritism.

If Jesus is the way to salvation, then repentance is the key to Jesus.

We can't approach God with pride and arrogance and self-service. We approach God in honesty, humility and repentance.

So you can continue to be stubborn about this and believe that you can do it all on your own. Walang pipigil sa iyo. Pero remember, GOD WILL REPAY YOU ACCORDINGLY.

Repent. Be humble. Be honest. Be broken.

3. Follow and obey Jesus Christ as your Lord.

After repenting and accepting the Gospel, live your life according to the Gospel.. who is Jesus.

Make the gospel your master. Make the gospel your life. Make the gospel run your life.

Eventually marerealize mo, na salamat God does not show favoritism. Kasi if ever He did, they you would have not enjoyed freedom and power over sin which comes from the gospel: Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

---

If you have read that and decided to stop living a life full of sin, send me a message. I want to lead you in prayer. It's never too late. The opportunity is open for you. And God's favor is upon you.

Repent.

Accept.

Follow.

Godbless you all. May the favor of the Lord be upon you.

Blog Introversion

I have been meaning to write for quite sometime. But I’m experience a bit of introversion to writing. I have a lot of things floating in my mind.. but it’s just I’d rather them just stay there. Or maybe because I’ve been to afraid to voice out my opinion and admit that I’m quite happy (in quite a long time).

I have an issue with happiness. Not that I do know how to be happy. But I’m afraid to acknowledge when I am happy. Siguro it’s the problem when you have known suffering, persecution and rejection for quite sometime na ngayon parang you anticipate everything to bring you such things.

So now I’m writing again. And I realize God wants me to go above and beyond my introverted self. That’s the thing with being an ambivert and an INFJ. There are many things you keep inside. But God is saying now is the time to let it all out. :)

So here I am. Coming out of shell. It’s a process I know. But I believe that there’s something out there for me. I serve a big and great God. What can go wrong with Him? <3
