Closing the year with gratitude for every lesson, every moment, and every version of you that made it through. Lahat ng pagod, lahat ng luha, at lahat ng laban na tahimik mong hinarap. Para sa mga araw na muntik ka nang sumuko pero pinili mong lumaban pa rin, para sa sarili mong patuloy na bumabangon.

Here’s to new beginnings, small wins, big dreams, and becoming better one day at a time. Happy New Year!

Dati, the Christmas tree was a kingdom of wonder—its branches heavy with gifts, twinkling lights, and ornaments that seemed to capture the magic of the season. Every bauble, every ribbon, promised delight and possibility. But now, as we stand before it in adulthood, the tree seems smaller, its decorations faded, and the glittering promise has been replaced by the weight of responsibilities.

The gifts we once tore open with wide-eyed excitement have been replaced by bills, deadlines, and the pressures of grown-up life. Christmas is still here in name, but its heart—the joy, the innocence, the unburdened awe—is no longer what we remember.

Bakit kaya..
Asan na ang diwa ng Pasko?
Ang liwanag at saya, bakit ang diwa’y unti-unting naglalaho?

The lights on the tree grow dimmer, and each ornament feels like a distant memory. The music and laughter that once surrounded us now became slow and sad in the ears of those who have grown older.

Did Christmas fade… or was it I who slowly drifted too far from its light?
