Two years today since Grace arrived in Australia. 🇩đŸ‡ș

From being a full-time mom while I was working at sea

to becoming a call center agent in the Philippines

to now working as an individual support worker here in Australia with no experience at all. She really started from zero and figured things out one step at a time.

And if you’re wondering how much she earns now
 let’s just say she makes more than me. Way more. 😂 But we’ve learned it’s not really about how big your income is
it’s how you manage what you have.

Australia has so many opportunities, but you need to align your plans with God’s plan. When you do, things just fall into place.

Ask fo guidance and walk by faith, not by sight.

Happy 2 years in Australia, Grace. Proud of you always. ❀ You deserve all the best things in life..

Labyu mwah mwah chup chup 😘

Ikaw na dependent/wife/husband dito sa Australia? Yung work mo ba ngayon is yung work mo pa din dati?

To every man who wakes up tired but still show up.

To every man who’s figuring life out while pretending he has everything under control..

To every man who carries pressure, doubts, and expectations but keeps moving forward anyway..

Keep going bro.. ingay lang yan lahat!

We rise one day at a time!

Happy international Men’s day!

“Bro, pwede ba kami diyan sa Australia?”

When I left the ship’s life, I wasn’t sure what was waiting for me on land.
All I knew was this: AYOKO TUMANDANG NAGBABARKO

Gusto ko normal na buhay.
May dayoff.
Kasama pamilya.
Quality life.

fast forward today, nearly 3 years living and working in Australia, I still got messages from other seafarers na nangagarap makapag trabaho dito.

“Bro pwede ba kami diyan sa Australia?”
“Madali ba magapply?”
“Malaki ba chance namin?”

And everytime

ang bigat ideliver ng honest answer.

POSSIBLE.. but not in demand..
Posting this not to put an end to your dreams but to clarify things.

I wish I could tell them what they wanna hear.
Pero mas pipiliin ko yung makakatulong para sakanila.

Because I’ve seen too many people spend money, time, and hope on the wrong information.
Yung iba, naubos na ang ipon, pero hindi pa rin alam kung saan sila ilalaban ng kapalaran.

I know few people na bakers and pastry chefs na nandito, but then again, mahina. Mas mabilis ang pathway if you are a cook/chef.

Kung ako ay nasa barko ngayon, working as a pantryman, baker, pastry, magshish*t ako as a commis chef basta hot kitchen.
Yun ay kung ang purpose mo is to quit ships life soon.

Trust me, cook/chef opens more doors..

I’m sharing this because once upon a time in the middle of the ocean, ako rin yung naghahanap ng tamag direction.

If you know someone from in the same boat, share this post.

You might save them years of going in circles.

Laban!

Life’s been heavy lately..
burnout, PR application, looking for a new house, peak season sa work, side hustles, plus worrying about my family back home sa baha at bagyo.
Pero after talking to a Filipino couple na student visa pa lang, I realized how blessed I still am. Minsan we get so caught up in our own struggles, we forget that others are fighting even harder battles. Grabe lang 😅 reminder to stay grateful kahit pagod. 🙏

Life isn’t punishing us. It’s shaping us.
Some seasons ain’t there to break us, preparasyon lang para sa mga bagay na pinadadasal nating matupad.

Lahat tayo napapagod, minsan parang wala ng space huminga.
The thought na..
“I’m struggling both physically and mentally, but who cares? I’m a man”

Ok lang, that’s human naman. Show up lang every single day.

Sorry self, lab na lab kita.

There was a time in my life when I thought everything was falling apart.

Plans didn’t work out, doors closed, and the people I trusted
 slowly disappeared.

I questioned everything..even my faith.

“Heavenly Father, why does it feel like You’re taking everything away from me?”

I worked hard.
I gave my best.

But it felt like life was punishing me instead of rewarding me.

Every opportunity I chased
 slipped right through my hands.

It’s painful when you do everything right,
but nothing seems to go your way.

But here’s what I didn’t know then:
sometimes, God delays what you want to protect you from what you can’t handle yet.

Sometimes, rejection is just redirection.

He was never saying no, He was just saying “Not yet.”

Then one day, things started falling into place without me forcing them.

The opportunity I thought I lost?
It came back..but this time, it was better.

The people who left? Replaced by the right ones.
And the dream I thought was gone?
God brought it back
 in His own timing.

That’s when I learned —
if God wants to bless you, no one can block it.
Not the people who doubt you.
Not the circumstances against you.
Not even your own mistakes.

Because what’s meant for you
 will always find its way.

God’s timing isn’t late..it’s just perfect.
And when it’s finally your turn,
you’ll realize why He made you wait.

You know, I worked on cruise ships for a decade.
Ten long years away from home.
Missed birthdays, holidays, even my kid’s first steps. .
All traded for that tax-free paycheck.
Good money, Yes, but still felt empty inside.

You smile for the passengers.
You joke around with crewmembers.
But when the shift ends and you’re back in your tiny cabin, that’s when the silence hits.
Homesickness creeps in.
Anxiety..
Depression..
The toughts you don’t say out loud.

I can still remember myself, laying on my bed,staring at the ceiling of my cabin,while holding a tissue roll and a bottle of vaseline..
Don’t get me wrong here, tissue for wiping my tears and vaseline lotion to keep my hands from getting dry because of the harsh chemicals we use in the kitchen. đŸ«Ł

Kidding aside, I always ask myself..
“Is this really worth it?”

One thing I learned from my ship’s life:
ITS OKAY TO FEEL WEAK SOMETIMES.
Real strength isn’t about pretending you’re okay.
It’s about admitting that you’re not.
And still choosing to keep going.

If you’re out there right now, maybe working onboard a ship, maybe working overseas, feeling like no one understands, Fam, I’ve been there. And I want you to know you are not alone.

Every tear, every night you held it in, every time you wanted to give up, that’s not weakness.
That’s proof you kept fighting.

So if you’re reading this, I just wanna say:
Don’t lose hope. One day, all that pain, all those lonely nights, will make sense.
Because the same storm that broke you
 is the same storm that built the person you are today.

Keep fighting, stay strong.. You’ve already survived the hardest waves.
