"Lord, bless my family as we approach Christmas. May the light of these candles reflect the peace and joy in our home. Guide us in the remaining days of this journey."
​I offer this 7th day especially for my Mother, my nephew Maybell, and for Jefferson who is with me today as my prayer partner and companion in this sacrifice. 🙏 May our hearts be ready and our faith be strengthened as we welcome the birth of Jesus.

Waking up for Simbang Gabi is a beautiful reminder that every sunrise is a miracle. 🌅
​Before we ask for anything else this Christmas, let’s say "Thank You" for the greatest blessing of all: the gift of life. We aren't just surviving; we are loved, chosen, and called to share that light with others.
​Life is the first and finest gift you’ll ever receive. Treasure it. ❤️

Today, I’m feeling extra blessed to attend our 3rd Simbang Gabi with my dear Mother and my lively nephews, Maybell and Jefferson.
Seeing the faith in my nephews' eyes and having my Mom by my side makes these early mornings truly special.

"Lord, we lift up to You our families. We pray especially for the healing of those who are physically ill, those who are tired in spirit, and those who are carrying silent pains.
May Your restorative touch reach my Mother, Maybell, Jefferson, and all our loved ones. Replace our sickness with strength and our worries with Your divine peace. Guide these children as they grow, and keep our family whole and healthy in Your loving grace."
May the remaining days of our Novena bring us closer to the miracle of Christmas. 🎄🙏✨

🎉🎂 Happy Birthday, My Dear Niece Maybell! 🎂🎉

The birthday of my sweet and cheerful niece, Maybell! 💖 To celebrate, I treated her to Jollibee, one of her favorite places to eat. Of course, we enjoyed her all-time favorite Crispy Chickenjoy, so crunchy and juicy that she couldn’t stop smiling while eating! 🍗 We also had some hot sopas that was perfect and comforting, and a plate of delicious spaghetti with drinks that completed our happy meal. 🍝🥤

It was such a joyful moment seeing Maybell so happy on her birthday. Her smile truly brightened my day! 😊 I was also with Nanay, and it made the celebration even more meaningful because family moments like this are the best gifts of all. ❤️

As I watched Maybell laugh and enjoy every bite, I couldn’t help but feel thankful to God for giving us this special time together — simple yet full of love and happiness. 🙏✨

Happy Birthday once again, Maybell! 🎈🎁 May the Lord continue to bless you with good health, wisdom, and happiness. Always remember that you are loved by us so much. Keep being the sweet, smart, and kind-hearted girl that you are. 💕

Thank You, Lord, for another year of blessings and for allowing us to celebrate this special day with joy and laughter. 🙏

Lord God, I stand in the Basista Church in Pangasinan with a heart full of appreciation for the gift of life.

​I seek Your continuous blessing upon me and my family. Grant us health, peace, and the strength to serve You daily.

Mama Marry, Our Lady of Manaoag, I ask for your intercession. Present my grateful heart to your Son, that I may always find shelter under your mantle of protection and receive the blessings needed for my family and loved ones.

O, Black Nazarene, Divine Sufferer who carried the cross for our salvation, I offer my own daily struggles and burdens to You. Grant me the courage to face life’s difficulties with faith, humility, and perseverance, knowing that in your suffering, there is redemption.

I pray for Your continuing blessing—blessing of good health, peace of mind, and joy in our hearts. May we be guided by Your light in all our decisions and actions.

Help me to see the good in every circumstance, to be thankful for even the smallest mercies, and to never take Your boundless love for granted.

Let my life be a channel of Your love and mercy, that I may extend the blessings I have received to those who are in need, comforting the afflicted and uplifting the disheartened.
Grant these prayers, O Lord, through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

From stopping school to working, and finally, to graduating. It wasn't an easy path, but it was worth it.

Nag trabaho muna Ako habang ang iba ay nag aaral, kinakailangan Kong huminto at mag trabaho after high school for 5 years, pero iba pala ang Plano sa akin ni Lord, dahil nakilala ko Ang ibang tao na nag push sa akin para bumalik ng pag aaral.
Ibang tao na tumulong sa akin.

Salamat sa inyo—alam niyo kung sino kayo. Kayo ang patunay na God provides help in unexpected ways and through unexpected people.

Thank you, Lord, for surrounding me with people who genuinely want to see me win. Surrounding me to people who don't have bad intention.
Kaya naman sa sarili kong sikap Ako ay naka pag tapos.
This diploma is for You! 🙏❤️"

“2016 pa nagawa ang bahay dito sa probinsya after I graduated from college, pero ngayon lang kami tuluyang nagka-tubig.
Ilang taon din kaming nagtiis kada uwi sa probinsya for how many years — timba, igib, ulan, siyempre dasal lang ang sandigan.

Ngayon, bawat patak ng tubig ay paalala na lahat ng bagay may tamang panahon.
Hindi man madali ang proseso, proud ako dahil sariling sikap ko ang puhunan ay nag ka tubig din kami.

Hindi kailangang madali, basta marangal at Hindi galing sa panloloko at sa sariling kong sikap ay finally ay nagka tubig din kami.

Maraming salamat, Lord, sa biyayang ito.

Thanks you Lord for giving me the opportunity na magawa ito
