Time is funny. We remember how we used to have so little, and now we can only be thankful for the things we used to pray for. 🙏

Happy Labor Day 2026 sa lahat ng manggagawa. 🇵🇭

Still some of the best moments I have in my gallery. I may have many photos, but these hold some of my best memories in my seafaring career.

Taken in Murmansk, Russia, first time ko to go up High North with a latitude of 68°N.

I was so thrilled because they said we might see the Aurora Borealis, so we even tried to forecast it that time.

I remember how I used to get so kilig whenever I see snow around. Plot twist, nakatira ako ngayon sa sa North India na grabe mag-snow pag winter.

Andami nang nangyari from then on. Lessons learned, mistakes made, experience gained.

TULOY LANG ANG LABAN. ❤️

I am proud of you.

And here it is., for months i been having constant tug and and tow if I should make this in public., am I ready for this? but I came to realize if not now., kelan?

I kept this to myself for a while. It started as a quiet break from social media… just a space where I could write, think, and let things out. No pressure. No expectations. Just a journal.

Then one essay became three pages.

And somewhere in between, a question came to me:
What if I write a book?

It felt ambitious. Maybe even unrealistic.
But at the same time… what do I really have to lose?

So I pushed myself to write one chapter. It sat with me for a week. I couldn’t ignore it anymore.

I shared it with a few people—just to hear what they think.
Some responded. Some didn’t.
Some gave polite support.

But only a few… truly believed in it.
The kind of belief that doesn’t just encourage you—
it pushes you.

And that was enough.

This book is not a fairy tale.
It’s not about highlighting only the good side of seafaring.

It’s about the truth.

The heartbreak.
The frustration.
The silent battles.
The misconceptions people don’t talk about.

It’s a collection of experiences, observations, and thoughts— written with one purpose:
to validate the emotions of seafarers who feel it…
but don’t always say it.

To the people who stood behind me—

My High School and Collage best friends, you know who your are., My former prof. ( you know who you are) The Lost Mermaid , yung kaibigang natisod mo lang sa daan unexpectedly but never held back the truth and became my critic and manuscript reader😅

My siblings, my Mom, my niece and my daughter—who never had to say anything, because I already knew where they stood.

To my publisher and the team behind this— thank you for believing in the work and helping bring it to life. We’ve finished the first part… but we’re still far from the finish line.

To you, Dad—kalma ka lang dyan, we’re good here.,

And lastly, to HIM—
for the desire, the passion, and the constant reminder to keep searching for more in life. Every day Im grateful for all the blessing and realizations that Im on the right place and on the right time.

This started as something small.

Now… it’s something I can no longer ignore.
