35th Posted at December 16, 2024 0 comments (+)

 Hey Journal,

Today marks my 35th birthday, and it feels like just yesterday I was in my twenties. Now here I am, stepping into 35 years of life. It’s both surreal and bittersweet to realize how quickly time flies.

What really hits me is the thought of my mom aging alongside me. She’s now double my age—she had me in her 30s—and it terrifies me to think that everyone I hold dear is growing older, too. Time seems so relentless sometimes.

But amidst all these reflections, I feel incredibly blessed. The life I have right now is overflowing with blessings, far more than I could ever deserve. God has been so good to me, not just in the past but also in the present. I have no doubt that His grace will continue to guide me in the years ahead.

I’m far from perfect and have so much more to learn about life. Lately, I’ve come to realize that life is a long journey, yet during times of struggle, pain, problems, and shortcomings, it becomes clear just how short it truly is. Life feels long on normal days, but when I pause to reflect, it’s astonishing how quickly everything unfolds—often faster than I realize in the moment.

These past few weeks, I’ve been so worried about my Ninang Nelia. It breaks my heart to think about everything she’s going through because of her illness—the burden it places on her physically, mentally, spiritually, and financially.

My cousin, John Paul, has been nothing short of amazing. His dedication, love, and commitment to his parents are truly inspiring. He’s been their rock through all of this, and I admire him so much for his strength.

My birthday wish this year is for my Ninang to find relief and healing, to overcome this challenging phase in her life, and for John Paul to be granted the courage and strength to keep going. I hope better days are ahead for both of them.

Dear Lord, Please guide and bless the people I love—my mom, my siblings, my nephews and nieces, and everyone close to my heart. Watch over them, keep them safe, and surround them with Your love and grace.

who doesn't lie? Posted at June 01, 2017 0 comments (+)

Time flies so fast, it’s literally fast as one blinked on an eye.  Could you imagine that we almost half a year now. Looking back for the past few months I was wandering about the things that should probably happened by this time? I had some worries and agony for what future could bring for me during the beginning of the year and it seems that I still had those things until now. yeah but its okay, that’s life and that’s how it goes right.  Deal with people, overcome my (our) fear, tried to convinced myself not to worry that much and just be happy and contended. It means, just go with the flow and live it for the day and I’ve learned that the more I worry about life it seems harder it could be.

For the past few months I’ve watched a lot of videos, Korean/Local dramas, movies, GRWM, few quotes and tag lines and those are learnings that I can associate on my life and its very amusing that somehow I can relate it to myself. I enjoyed spending most of my time for those things and I see it spending my whole life for it. Sad? Hmmm yeah somehow I still felt my life that way it is. It’s so funny that I’m still like this way, well maybe I change an inch but I’m still the way I used to be.  Anyway…

Let’s talked about Lying. There’s anyone of out there who’s not lying by any chance? I guess none of us, we are guilty and I’m guilty and all of us will be guilty.  But are we allowed to do it all over again? Is there a valid reason for us to lie to other people and do the same to us? Well that’s life, full of uncertainly and so am I. this mean, how big or small lie is a lie, and it sure that I/we can hurt anyone or someone that we’re not supposed to hurt by any means. Maybe our intention was good and we don’t want to hurt them instead we lied but still truth can be hurtful but lies is more hurtful than being honest.

For me, honestly telling a lie is not a bad idea. Yes I know there’s no excuse about this matter but I rather to lie than being frank and straightforward. But for the sake of a good harmony (Relationship) lying is a best option, I will just keep it that way instead to make it worse and mess. For me, lying isn’t about deceiving someone or cover up what you’ve done, or keep what you’ve thought. Lying is the way that you can save yourself and the other party from the chaos. It doesn’t mean that if you lie, you become a bad person. It’s not a presentation of your entire personality. This is just a piece of yourself that you are a just human and every one of us could be have this weakness.
I don’t know, this is just my point of view..

Realization Posted at August 05, 2016 4 comments (+)

hello there! I had a good memories back in June. I'm been in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam and that was a short trip because we were literally hopping to a different country in 6 days. it was a nice experience for me. and I will cherish those memories for my entire life because I didn't expect to travel to those places, although traveling was my greatest dream and but doing it in reality was kinda surreal and fulfilling because that's my hard earned money. And dude!traveling was everyone's dream and who's not right?! :)

 And how I wish going to different places is free. it's so nice doing those things you really like and make the most of it with yourself and your friends.

I got a lot of realization  while doing that tour.

*life is less serious when you choose to. just be happy and enjoy what you have. its not just about having a lot of money. yes?! probably money make us happy in a way, we can do whatever we want, buy those things we like and of course for us to be able to live and survive. but the more we try to chase the money or strive to have more than what we have tends to make us more vulnerable to be unhappy and unappreciated about single things. I know it's a frustration and depression because you/we are not able to have it, you/we felt that losing the chance is the same as losing our happiness lays on the money. probably I'm not the right person to tell this because I'm just 26yrs old and I'm still in the middle of my life and journeying what life could be for the next few years. I'm not YET successful and even have a stable and firm job to say these things and I'm also one of those people who are chasing after it and who's not? but like what I said LIFE IS LESS SERIOUS when we choose to. looking back to this statement maybe after years, I want to test myself if I would feel the same thing now versus later. well, we will see it. and see for my self. hehe I don't know why I'm doing this, why I'm saying these things.  it's so funny because I'm preaching about being happy without money or just being contended in spite of being struggling to have it more hehe ironic!  coming for me and coming to an average guy like me who's aiming to have nice, comfortable and unimaginably life because of the art of money is now stating these words and act as I'm not struggling  about  it

actually I admired to those people who been living in a simplest way. those people whose very dedicated to achieving their goals no matter what happened. I knew some of them personally and it makes me think why I don't have this kind of perseverance and will. yes!? i have goals and dreams but I have more time about worrying certain things and be depressed in quite sometimes. I have this attitude for the longest time. there's a time that I'm very motivated and very energetic to go after those goals and dreams but after a while, those mantras that I set on my mind was fading in every single day that had passed. but these people, their dedications has been never stopped in spite of achieving certain pleasure and rewards along the way. they still have the fire to get what they want. And that's very commendable and inspiring.

2016 Posted at January 12, 2016 1 comments (+)

Hello there! and hello 2016 - so much expectation this year, a lot of wishes, goals, and dreams. Ang dami kong ineexpect this year. Makapag travel, makahanap ng ibang work, more hook-ups hahaha joke. but seriously yung relationship na pwde kong itressure. well 2016 na what's new hahaha. but I feel it, soon hahahaha, the question is how soon? hahaha okay let's stop this.

lately sobra akong interested sa mga tutorial sa youtube, may napanuod akong vlog about traveling and I'm dying bacause I'm supposed to be there hahaha joke. seriously gusto ko gawin yung mag travel from now on. yung pakiramdam na free ka and you have free mind to explore everything. free soul and free life kahit saglit lang makawala ka sa problema mo. how i wish to live in a worry less world. free of anything that can stress me. but that world doesn't exist at all :)  bacause life is useless without problems. that's my mantra

this year I will try to be a good person as I can. no more hate, hatred, envy, and I want to be happy. pero parang ang hirap panindigan hahahaha. I just noticed when I get older that I become more sensitive and concern about my life. is this a mid-life crisis? haha is that too early for me? :) hahaha. like what I want to be this year, sometimes it's so hard to be that person, thou that changes are for your own maturity and well-being as a Individual. okay this is me talking about changes haha? Anyway, minsan di ako makaramdam ng contentment and I'm guilty because I can't see how blessed I am. that's the things that I need to working on. also need to stop comparing myself to other people. stop procrastinate everything, do it as soon as possible and be punctual. at this Aged, I had a lot of things inside me that I need to pay attention, bad habits, bad attitude and everything about me that need changes. should I stop wishing things that everything that I see to other people are supposed to be me? wishing that I have what they have, who they are and everything they have experience are maybe me and should be me because I deserved it too? I'm too greedy not to feel happy for other persons :( and I'm not happy because  this is me living on that attitude and I want to change it. yes because it's 2016 and everyone has been changing already. I'm not saying that I need to change because they're changing. I want to change for my own benefits and be a better person. when I'm able to be happy and accept what I have, I think that's the time that I can be contented and don't feel anything toward other people.

I'm lost Posted at November 10, 2015 1 comments (+)

first, I was okay but suddenly I felt this way again. "that feelings" that I don't want to feel anymore. why is the hell happening to me? really, I'm asking this to myself. seriously it brings a lot of crap on me.  I'm worried about everything, about my life, about my future, and tons of issues back in manila.  really. I've felt lost and unwanted in so many ways. 

Bakit ganoon, hindi ako makuntento kung ano ang meron ako. hinahanap ko yung mga bagay na wala ako. nag-iisip ako ng malayo at pinangungunahan ko ang hinaharap. hindi ko maiwasan na wag mag isip at mag alala ng mga bagay bagay na  hindi ko naman dapat iniintindihin. pero hindi ko makuha na wag mag alala, Natatakot ako na baka dumating yung oras na lugmok na ako at hindi naman ako naging masaya.  

career wise, right now I felt lost, really - iniisip ko kung bakit hindi ko itinuloy yung pagiging nurse after collage at nung pumasa ako, kaya ngayon ang dami kong regrets. bakit pa kasi kailangan ko unahin yung pera kaysa sa gusto ko kaya ito ako ngayon naliligaw ako. for my past career, ni tingin ko hindi naman ako nag grow as perso. yung apat na taon ko sa accenture eh parang nasayang lang, ni hindi naman ako umangat, tapos biglang shift ako ng work career as nursing aide ang tanong okay ba at worth it? in some points okay naman eh, kaya lang di pa rin maalis sa isip ko na hindi pa din sapat yung kung anong meron ako ngayon since kailangan ko supportahan ang mga kapatid at pamilya ko. 

gusto kong maranasan yung maging okay sa lahat, maging stable sa lahat ng bagay. wala naman perpektong buhay, alam ko lahat ng tao may problema pero bakit ako nahihirapan? pakiramdam ko ang unfair, hindi ko na nga nagawa yung gusto ko sa buhay at nag iba na rin ako ng path para lang mag trabaho pero ganoon pa din. yung kaonteng pera na kinikita ko eh hindi pa din sapat para sa amin. ano ba naman yung maging stable ako sa trabaho at maging good provider ako sa bahay pero nahihiya ako sa pamilya ko. hindi ko sila mabigyan ng maganda at komportableng buhay. sarili kong kasiyahan hindi ko na din mahanap sa panahon na ito.

really, siguro sa lahat ng post ko dito sa blog na 'to mabibilang lang kung kailan ako naging masaya.  naiinis ako sa sarili ko kung bakit ako ganito.  Nagdadasal naman ako at nag papasalamat kay God regarding sa mga blessings ko. yes i'm Blessed in so many ways, minsan nga hindi ko nakikita yun at nahihiya ako kay God kasi puro na lang ako reklamo at hindi makontento. maswerte ako at nandito ako sa singapore nakaka pag trabaho pero iniisip ko hindi pa din sapat. ang dami kong gustong gawin sa buhay. ang dami king plano na hindi ko alam sa magsisimula. pag mag iisip ako ng plano at mag sisimulang maghanap ng way bigla naman mawawala yung kaonte kong pag asa. sabi naman ni abby kaya daw ako ganito kasi feeling ko wala akong makakapitan. siguro tama sya ni taong mag mamahal sakin wala nga eh. yung taong pwede kong makasabay mangarap at bumuo ng buhay. sa ganitong aspeto din alam ko naliligaw na din ako. nahihirapan na din ako makabalik at natatakot akong baka maiwan ako at manatili na lang doon.

I think I was challenged by God. Iniisip nya kung hanggang saan ako tatagal. alam ko pag subok lang to malalagpasan ko to. magiging matatag ako.  aasa at patuloy akong mangangarap :)

Please gusto ko mawala lahat ng agam agam sa puso ko.

ako ngayon Posted at June 20, 2014 0 comments (+)

madaming nangyari for the past weeks. and i haven't noticed na mabilis na ding lumilipas ang pa nahon. at ngayon halos kalahati na ng taon ang lumipas. days come so fast! maraming bagay na di mo inaasahan mangyari at may mga bagay din na lumipas na di na pwedeng balikan.

ito na naman ako sa ugali kong puno ng negatibong bagay. nakakatawa at iniisip ko na nga na isa akong bipolar. minsan masaya at kontento pero kadalasan yung pakiramdam ko sobrang baba at halos mahila ako nito sa kalungkutan. mga problema na pag inisip mo, ikaw ang laging tao. minsan isang tao lang yung maka-kwentuhan mo, okay na agad. yung mga alalahanin mo na gusto mong ishare at makahingin ng payo mula isang kaibigan, katrabaho o isang estranghero. yung mga opinyon nila na pwedeng tama at makakatulong sa iyo/akin.

lagi kong iniisip na unfair ang buhay. pero yun naman talaga ang katotohanan. maiaalis ko ba yun sa sarili ko. pwede ko bang punuin na masasayang alaala ang mga buhay ko? kung pwede lang sana. yung wala ka ng problema at malaya ka sa kalungkutan. ang saya ng ganung pakiramdam. pero sa totoong buhay - isa itong masalimot na laro. pag nagpatalo ka sa mga bagay na humihila sa'yo pababa, yun na yung katapusan mo.

syempre di naman puro pahirap ang dala ng buhay. kung mas madalas natin iisipin na masaya at puno ng pag - asa ang buhay, siguro wala ng dahilan para maging malungkot. sana ito lagi kong maisip, yung puro masaya lang at puno ng pag-asa.

dadating din yung panahon na magiging okay ang lahat.

GOD is bigger than my problem. :D

looking forward too Posted at August 02, 2013 3 comments (+)
 
yes! my sister is pregnant :| that is mixed emotions. I don't know if right to feel angry or upsets because of that. but seriously i'm really happy because of this little angel. :) well my sister is indeed a black sheep of our family but I know there is something that she can learned for this.
 
being a parent isn't easy as we think.  and I believed that she would realized it now. and for me as "kuya" I realized that how hard to being part of this situation  and being responsible for everything. teaching and reminding them for do's and don'ts regarding starting building a family. now i'm being matured enough facing every challenges.
 
and looking forward for good and peaceful family with them.
 
goodvibes and praying to settle everything.
