Grace. Gratitude. Greatness.

@thyamazinggrace

The moon is my alter ego. Books, my drug of choice. And God, my ultimate confidant. Seaside sunset. Spiritual community. Grace-filled relationships. Affirmations. Music. Travel. Nature. Photos. Memories. Seminars. School. Search for Truth. Thirst for knowledge. Love and Life. For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love. I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough. :) ♥ I LOVE TO LIVE because I LIVE TO LOVE. ♥ "It's not enough to keep the faith; You've got to spread it around." -mgpm2011 :)

Look at that "Eat like your NOT waistline conscious smile" HAHA Idc. I sooo love eating! ✌🏻️🍴🍱 #simplejoys # Hi to my faceless photobomber :) Fun Fact #14: My friends always tease me for having that "appetite of an elephant". Yes, I eat a lot. And if you ever think of asking me out, you better be ready for that. Lol :) I can even finish 2 cups of rice for lunch on a daily meal unless there's veggie salad or a sumptuously cooked chicken meal as main dish. I am grateful I remained slim and thin despite this addictive past time. Well..you can't blame me. Who won't love a good appetite with a great body, right? *giggles* #14over24 #GraceGRATITUDEGreatness #journeytoxxiv

Time to call it quits, you stressors! #japanesefoodie #whenyouknowEAT lol :) Fun Fact #13: Japanese food over Chinese cuisines over Korean dishes! I'm such a proud Asian foodie! Naaah to continental cuisines really but I'm always good to go for experience sake! :) #13over24 #GRACEGratitudeGreatness #journeytoxxiv

At least BE that somebody that yourself need. #midlifemalaise #thatgracenudgeineed Fun Fact #12: The game I play in this life is that of a "Superwoman". Someone who tries to be everything to everyone. Some call it "selfless"; Others simply "martyrdom". It used to sound great for me that you give more than you are capable of giving just to love people.. but as time passes by (and when reality slaps you right on the face, which is the case for me most of the time), you'd realize you're human after all. And it doesn't hurt to admit that you need some considerations too. That you'll need to take a break from everything and everyone at some point. And when you need that badly, you just gotta give it to yourself. Drop the superwoman cloak and take a day or weeks away. Just "try" to be that somebody your soul needs. Do it because you deserve it...and yes, because you have so much love for yourself too. ♡ #12over24 #GraceGratitudeGREATNESS #journeytoxxiv

Blessed Sunday one and all! ♡ Fun Fact #11: Grace = unmerited favor from God. You don't earn it to deserve it. He just gives it to you. How sweet is that? ♡ I "used to" hate my name for everywhere I go I'd found a woman with the same name. I hate the fact that I have such a cliché name. Growing up, I wished I was named differently. This goes to show how labels and names play a significant role in my life. To name is to conquer and thus it must be well thought of (or so I believe). But this perception was several years ago. At this very moment, I proudly celeberate being named "Mary Grace" by my parents. I'm proud of being Marian by heart and I try my very best to live out my name and become "grace" to everyone I meet in this journey called Life. Dozen of thanks to my mom and dad for you always knew the best. My fate has been written in the stars that very moment you have decided to name me Grace. I couldn't ask for more. ♥ #OctoberrificAdventures #11over24 #GRACEGratitudeGreatness #journeytoxxiv (at Sta.Monica,Church Minalin,Pampanga)

One of the most beautiful churches yet 🙏🏻⛪️💞 Peace out to you all! Happy Saturday! :) #Cassiciacum2015 #AugustinianPilgrimage #Pampangagroup Fun Fact #10: I have always been fond of churches. I grew up serving in choirs and as lector-commentators in our parish and later in the Feast. I even thought of actually trying to "search in" in some convents before. That's when I don't know yet what I wanted my life to become (unlike now). Churches and adoration chapels are my clean and well lighted place. It's my personal haven on Earth and a sanctuary to my restless soul. It's the place I visit whenever I'd lose hope for humanity. :) Thank God for churches and for more pilgrimage to come. Who knows..a pilgrimage to my ultimate dream destination, Jerusalem might just find me soon. Hallejujah! ♡ #OctoberrificAdventures #GRACEGratitudeGreatness #10over24 #journeytoxxiv (at Sta.Monica,Church Minalin,Pampanga)

Fun Fact #9: OTWOLista ako. At walang makakapigil sakin. Lol ;) If that someone's Clark-like.. I don't mind waiting a little longer, Lord. You know my heart won't settle for an 'almost' or a 'backup plan' story anyway. Cheers to clean slate at 24! Yes, I'm such an overachiever! :) Happily (growing while) waiting, G ♡ #Octoberrificadventures #9over24 #GraceGratitudeGREATNESS #journeytoxxiv

Afternoons like this. ♥ Fun Fact #7: Milk Tea over coffee. Always and forever! :) #cozycreativedays #Octoberrificadventures #7over24 #GraceGRATITUDEGreatness #journeytoxxiv

If only I can watch the seaside sunset everyday, I will. ♥ Fun Fact #6: I live for Life's simple joys. Watching the seaside sunset is certainly one of them. It makes me remember how a day, regardless of it being good or bad, will surely come to pass and that we should embrace this ephemeral Life while it lasts. :) #Octoberrificadventures #GRACEGratitudeGreatness #6over24 #journeytoxxiv

Yes, LOVE ENDURES. ♥ Fun Fact #5: Teaching was never my dream profession when I was a little kid. If I'm not a teacher, I'd probably be a newscaster, a full time missionary or an event organizer. But my looong story of seeking and finding can be summed up in four words: LOVE LED ME HOME. Sounds cheesy mushy but I really believe it paved the way to realizing where I truly belong. And wherever I am now, I owe that big time to my heart. :) Today marks my 4th year in the field. Oh how time flies! Just want to grab this opportunity to give a shout out to all my hardworking teachers before. Happy World Teacher's Day! Thank you for teaching me what this 'labor of love' is really all about. Cheers to the noblest of professions! 😍👏🌹🍷👣❤ #Octoberrificadventures #5over24 #GraceGRATITUDEGreatness #journeytoxxiv ️ (at Colegio San Agustin – Makati)

Fun Fact #4: I can't think of a better noun to describe my soul but this -- DREAMER. ♥ Yes, I dream small and big dreams. My heart clings unto the hope that through anything and everything, I have my beautiful dreams to remind me how amazing is the feeling of being alive. Thank God for dreams and the will to seize them! Had it not been for these wonderful dreams, I wouldn't be where I am now. :) DREAM ON, Blessings! You'll never know how the pursuit of your dreams can change the world. :) #Octoberrificadventures #GraceGratitudeGREATNESS #4over24 #journeytoxxiv

That look you have for someone who could not see you from the place from which you see him. </3 (c) Anya, taken year 2009 when I was still this stick thin! Fun Fact #3: I don't easily like (much more, fall for) a guy, but when I do, I'm one of those crazy-admirer-from-a-distance-waiting-for-the-perfect-timing-for-an-"us". End of sharing lol :) #Octoberrificadventures #GraceGratitudeGREATNESS #3over24 #journeytoxxiv

Fun Fact #2: I am a Catholic by heart. And I'm proud to say that. :) August of 2010 when I get a firsthand experience of the so-called "New Evangelization". I know I was never the same person again since then. Because it's a Friday today, I dedicate my Flashback entry to what used to be my weekly Friday habit. Grace is THE FEAST MANILA. The community that molded me into the kind of person I am today. This is more than just the happiest place on Earth. To me, it will forever be a personal haven and a sanctuary to this restless soul of mine. ♡ I miss everyone in this picture. I miss serving at the Feast. I miss SM Manila Cinema 4's backstage filled with servants every Friday. I miss Lit Min Solid. I miss this weekly habit. I miss the 'free hugs' zone. I miss the unlimited "how are you and I miss you". I miss the soul-cleansing LGs. I miss receiving genuine affirmations. I miss listening to inspiring talks by Daddy O. I miss life-coaching experiences with the most loving of people. I miss surrounding myself with positive and goodvibes individuals. I miss having all the time to do the things I love doing. I miss going home late, physically tired but emotionally and spiritually recharged. I miss that undivided support system that will consistently remind me of the beautiful world outside of work. I miss those intimate convos with God through the Feast experience. I miss family. I miss Life. All these can summarize the role that faith plays in my life. For all these, I am forever grateful. :) #OctoberrificAdventures #GraceGRATITUDEGreatness #2over24 #journeytoxxiv (at The Feast Manila)

Fun Fact #1: Joining beauty pageants (and bringing home the crown) has always been one of my wildest fantasies. Then and up until now. :) Grace is THE PURSUIT OF DREAMS. This is prolly my way of affirming my inner beauty queen who suffered and surpassed a literally and figuratively ugly childhood lol. I never had the courage to push my luck until this day three yrs ago. Whenever I feel insecure, it's these photos I would browse to make me feel better about myself again. I shall never forget that magic moment when I get to confidently flaunt to the world (whose misjudgement challenged me for the better) that I'm uniquely beautiful. And yes, God's grace is sufficient. Always an amazing memory to revisit! :) I commend your courage to take risk, self. You can then. You can still now. ♡ #GRACEGratitudeGreatness #Octoberrificadventures #1over24 #journeytoxxiv

Not the kind who gets incredibly happy over branded or expensive gifts. Customized and personalized ones are actually the closest to my heart. :) Haaay... how I love my new pillow!!! :D Thanks to a dear student for the Christmas present. I'm such a happy teacher! ♡ #simplejoys #lovelanguage #iteachdiary #Christmasfeels #realeyesrealize #allgrace
