No comments on VLOG #2: Walking Around Washington D.C.This is a super duper late upload of our short trip to D.C. last March! The plan was to go to D.C. to view some exhibits in the Arthur M. Sackler and Freer Galleries and then eventually walk up to the Tidal Basin to take pictures with the cherry blossoms. We went there a week Continue Reading

Act for Compassion, Act with Love
My birthday is coming up and I’d like for you to celebrate it with me by supporting my fundraising campaign for Compassion International, one of the world’s leading child development organizations. As of this writing, I’ve raised $200 of my $1,000 goal. Every dollar that I raise for this campaign will go straight to Compassion, and it Continue Reading

Know What You Carry
Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promises, despite of Israel’s failures to keep their covenant with God in the Old Testament. He was God who became human so that he can model for us the abundant life that God had intended for us ever since creation.

Seasons of Love: Seeing God in the Ordinary

To live is Christ; to die is gain
Those closest to me would know that I have great reverence for Nanay Norma, my maternal grandmother. We shared the same room and she would be the one to wake me up for school and prepare my breakfast and some hot water for bath. We had a love-and-hate relationship, Nanay and I, but only because we Continue Reading

Of Love, Miracles, and A Walk to Remember
A few hours after my previous post was made public, a friend who had read my blog sent me a text asking what led me to find Jesus despite all the feeling of inadequacy and crippling self-doubt that I am struggling with from time to time. I was intimidated by the fact that this was someone Continue Reading

You Are Not Alone
Not until a couple of months ago I was agnostic, and this isn’t something I usually say out loud. A lot of things just didn’t make sense to me and a huge part of my disbelief came from seeing other people who know their Bible verses, regularly go to church every Sunday, and proclaim God’s Continue Reading
