  • ¡Lo logré!

    ¡Lo logré!

    Escribí en mi diario el 26 de marzo de este año: Today I also registered for DELE B1 and bought the preparation course. I have 1 month to prepare intensively and I hope and pray that God will approve and bless this goal. It’s outside of my comfort zone and I’m not expecting this level…

  • Run the race with endurance

    Run the race with endurance

    I ran another race today after 6 years of being on hiatus. I have been reviving the hobbies that I used to have when I was younger and one of those is running. Last month, I had been thinking of running a race again so I searched for running events near me and luckily, Gatorade…

  • Worry fuels the hurry

    I enjoyed playing the song “Praise” by Elevation Worship on the guitar. I hope to jam it together with my DGroup or other people. I love playing the guitar and lately, I have been discovering worship songs that are fun to play! I don’t consider myself an advanced player but I would love to learn…

  • Psalm 42

    Something happened that tugged my heart and kept me weary all evening. My capacity to create a problem or worry out of nothing astounds me; it has been such a busy yet productive day that I wondered, “How could I even make time for worrying?” I decided to go out for a night walk, praying…

  • Grace in the Wilderness

    Grace in the Wilderness

    Originally titled this blog “Wanderings in the Wilderness”, inspired by my quiet time in Deuteronomy 2 last February 2, 2023, then eventually changed it to emphasise “Grace”. I consider myself a sojourner who always goes from one wilderness to another yet with the hope that I will not stay there forever and I, too, will…

  • Hum hallelujah!

    Hum hallelujah!

    One of my life goals is to see Fall Out Boy perform live. Last October I was struggling to accept that I was not able to secure a patron ticket for Fall Out Boy’s concert. I became a fan around 2005 during their From Under the Cork Tree days when a high school friend shared…

    being a good steward of time

    Raise your hand if you struggle with poor time management! *raises hand* It made me wonder if I have ADHD or if I just have my time and priorities all over the place. I don’t want to misdiagnose myself even though the symptoms are similar (according to Instagram reels! 😏 ) Kidding aside, I wasn’t…

  • November Life Updates

    November Life Updates

    I met with Clarence and Marie today to see the Da Vinci exhibit at Bonifacio Global City (BGC). We don’t really meet on a regular basis but we intend to catch up at least once every quarter so as to be up-to-date with each other’s life events and milestones. Being too isolated and out of…

  • Genesis 15: God Promises a Son to Abram

    Transcribed from a journal entry of my bible study from July 14, 2020. After what happened previously, the Lord appeared to Abram in a vision and He said, “Do not fear, Abram, I am a SHIELD to you; your REWARD shall be very great.” “And He took him outside and said, “Now look toward the…
