She Leads: 4 Ways to Empower A Woman
In my latest blog post, "She Leads: 4 Ways to Empower A Woman," I explore the incredible strength and influence women possess. Empowerment goes beyond gaining control over our lives—it's about rediscovering our worth, embracing our purpose, loving ourselves, and realizing the impact we can have on those around us. Drawing from my own journey, I share insights on how every woman can embrace her identity in Christ, pursue her God-given purpose, and lead by example. Join me as we celebrate women who are strong, resilient, and deserving of love and respect.

The Beauty of Singleness: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Preparation
Singleness is not a season of waiting for something better to come—it is a season of growth, healing, and preparation. I’ve come to realize that being single is not a punishment or a curse, but a precious opportunity to focus on becoming the best version of yourself before you enter into a relationship. It is a time to heal past wounds, pursue passions, and strengthen your relationship with God. If you are waiting for the right person, let me remind you: You are wonderfully made. You are not defined by your relationship status, but by your worth in God’s eyes. While you wait, trust that God has a beautiful plan…

A Journey of Motherhood: Embracing the Fulfillment Beyond Career Accomplishments
As I embraced my new role as a full-time mom in 2024, I made one of the most challenging decisions of my life — leaving my career to focus on my family. Though it meant stepping away from professional milestones and financial independence, I found peace in the choice, knowing that raising my son would be the most fulfilling role I could ever have. Motherhood changed me in ways I never expected — it shifted my priorities, habits, and perspective on life. Though there are moments of self-doubt, especially as I transitioned from being the breadwinner to fully depending on my husband financially, the pride I feel in witnessing my…

Re-bloom: Starting 2025 Right
Early this year during a job interview, I was asked by my interviewer of my hobbies and interests. It’s been a while since I was asked by that question and I got a little excitement to tell my hobbies such as traveling and blogging. Then suddenly, I remembered that those were the things I used to enjoy prior to the pandemic. And I never got to go back yet to my old self since the last five years became a major transition for me — finishing graduate school, getting married, implementing a national project, having a baby and adjusting to motherhood. These things took up my time. That simple question…

3 Ways Parenthood Reflects God’s Love
It is my son’s second Christmas with us. Right now, he is starting to appreciate and understand things. Most importantly, he can now interact and relate with people. Prior to the exact date of Christmas, he began receiving gifts from family and friends. It made me feel extra grateful and joyful because they first loved me, then my husband (and vice versa), and now it is being extended to my child. I felt that my husband and I were not just receiving gifts from them for my son, but we were also receiving the love and thoughtfulness behind their gifts. I feel the same gratitude and joy when I think…

5 THINGS I’VE LEARNED FROM MY FATHER’S SUDDEN DEATH
It was the night after a long weekend (Holy Week) when all my bags were packed and ready to leave for work the next day; but for some reason, I didn’t feel like going. That same night, at around 11 PM, we were awakened by a call from my Ninong who told us that Tatay was in the hospital, and we needed to go immediately to sign some papers. We shrugged off the possibility that it was serious while on our way. Maybe, we just need to sign a waiver, a discharge order, or whatever. However, we learned that he was comatosed upon arriving. They put him in a catheter…

2 Important Advices When Aspiring for Progress and Growth
One of the biggest blessings of becoming a full time mom is silencing the noise from the corporate world. It’s a great season to pause and reflect on how my life has been — what I have accomplished, what I wanted to do more, and how I can still be productive apart from taking care of my young family. I missed a lot of things I used to get busy with, but nothing is more fulfilling than being a wife and a mother who is able to attend to the needs of my family 24/7. However, I also believe that this is just a phase. Children will grow quickly and…

PATRONIZING FILIPINO LANGUAGE TO PROMOTE PATRIOTISM
The Philippines has dedicated the month of August to celebrate our national languagewhich is Filipino, under Proclamation No. 1041 by former President Fidel V. Ramos in 1997.The celebration aims to strengthen and spread awareness and importance of thelanguage. On the other hand, it was the former President Manuel L. Quezon, whoenvisioned forming a national language that would foster a shared cultural identity,sense of belongingness, and unity among the Filipinos. This kind of celebration isintegral for me, as many of us are seemingly forgetting and neglecting the use of ournational language and our love for it. How I wish there was a balance in using Filipinoand English languages because right now…

8 Realization of a First Time Mom
Blessed is she who believes that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her. — Luke 1:45 It’s been too long since my last blog post so I’m coming back with an article about my life after becoming a mom. My husband and I waited for nine months to see the two red lines in a pregnancy test kit. The feeling was surreal, especially when it happened during the first few days of 2023 — days when we are still planning for what the whole year will be like. Answered prayer on a new year feels like a reaffirmation that God makes all things new (Revelations 21:5) and everything happens…
