Kung magnegosyo ka, expected jud na daghan kag ma-encounter nga klase sa tao. Naay pareha nimo ug mindset, naa puy dili. Naay pareha nimo ug belief, naa puy lahi. Naay mga negosyante, naa puy mga empleyado, naa pud ga-discover pa sa ilang purpose.
And each of them — naa jud reason ngano gi-cross imong path sa ila.

Naay uban pareha nimo ug beliefs pero murag si kinsa, feeling “to the highest level.” Naa pud dili pareha nimo ug beliefs, pero kung mu-asta, mas buutan pa kaysa sa uban nimo nga naa permi sa simbahan.😅

And that’s life. Balance ra jud. Ako mismo, di pud ko permi okay. Naa koy flaws, naa koy lapses (kinsa bay wala, diba?). But the goal is to keep learning — from others, and from yourself. 🙏

Lately, I’ve learned nga dili na jud maghilom-hilom. I’m practicing to be direct, clear, and non-negotiable. If it’s no longer respectful — call it out. Not as a form of attack, but to bring clarity.

Kay usahay, people don’t even realize they’re crossing boundaries until you let them know. And that’s okay — that’s part of the process.

So make an active choice. Don’t run away from difficult people or uncomfortable situations. Face them with grace but with firmness.

Kay diri ka mutubo. Diri ka ma-humble. Diri ka ma-strong. And diri ka mahimong wiser version sa imong kaugalingon.❤️🥰

A Not-So-Friendly Reminder When Investing:

Before you decide to invest in a startup, especially one still building its foundation, you need to seriously reflect on your capacity—financially, emotionally, and strategically—for the journey ahead.

This is a reminder of something we’ve seen far too often: an investor commits capital, agrees to the terms, celebrates early progress—then backs out or expresses disappointment after seeing that the returns aren’t instant.

Let’s be clear: startups are not a quick-return scheme. Especially in the early stages, they require time, hard work, patience, and faith. When you choose to invest, you’re not buying into overnight profits—you’re aligning yourself with a long-term vision. You’re investing in people, in progress, and in potential.

Like every business in its first stages, growth takes time—and it doesn’t always look like big numbers in the beginning. It looks like hustle. It looks like risks. It looks like delayed gratification.

Backing out early or complaining about “small returns” after only one cycle not only reflects a lack of understanding about how businesses grow—it also disrupts the very thing you supported. It disrespects the people working daily to build something from the ground up. And yes, we take that personally.

So before you write that check, ask yourself:

👉 Am I ready for a long game?
👉 Do I trust the people behind this business?
👉 Am I aligned with the vision—and ready to support it through its seasons?

Because when you invest half-heartedly, then pull out the moment things don’t meet your immediate expectations, you’re not just losing potential gains. You’re also wasting everyone’s time—and that’s something no founder deserves.

Be a responsible investor. Don’t just invest for the clout. Invest because you believe. And if you don’t—please, don’t waste our time.🫶

I truly believe—even from the start—that success doesn’t come from hard work alone.

(Of course, that depends on your definition of success.)
For me and my husband, success means freedom—
Freedom to be fully present with our family,
Freedom to bless others with what we’ve been given,
Freedom to travel without stressing over money,
Freedom to provide for our children with joy,
Freedom to worship God anytime and anywhere.

Over the years, I’ve learned that true success happens when your heart aligns with what God wants for you.

Every time I obey—even when it’s hard, inconvenient, or uncomfortable—blessings always follow.
And when God prompts me to do something, I’ve noticed…
I don’t even think about what I might gain from it.
Because it's not about the blessing anymore.

It’s about choosing Him.
And choosing Him means choosing joy, choosing peace, and choosing a life that’s anchored in something deeper than hustle.

So if you’re reading this right now,
My encouragement is this:
Always choose God.
And everything else will follow. 🙏

After dropping Kuya off at school, Leandro and I decided to go for a walk—and wow, I didn’t realize how much I needed it! No rush, no deadlines, just the open road, fresh air, and the simple joy of moving at our own pace. It felt so freeing, like a little reminder that we can slow down and actually enjoy life anytime we choose. And honestly, slowing down is the real luxury. It’s not about having more, but about feeling more—being present, breathing it all in, and appreciating the moment.

Since Kuya had an exam, we decided to wait for him. But after all that walking, hunger kicked in—so we grabbed some bread and coffee. Nothing fancy, just a quiet moment together, enjoying the morning in the best way possible.

And you know what? This felt too good to be a one-time thing. So, we’re making it a weekly ritual—a time to pause, breathe, and just be. Because this, right here, is what life’s really about. Can’t wait for the next one!🥰🥰🥰

When Life Gives You Tangerine
(A Netflix Series)

Ga sige jud kog hilak ani na series, ui! Hahaha! Grabe ka touching, and daghan jud scenes na maka-relate ta. I love how Ae-sun chose her first love, and Gwan-sik never gave up on her. Na-imagine dayon nako among love story ni Leandro—naks!🥹 Hahaha!😅

Pero unsaon, ang kinabuhi jud nato naa juy mga pait nga moments. Dili lalim, pero basta magtinabangay lang jud ang bana ug asawa, power kaayo! Wives, always encourage your husbands. Husbands, always protect your wives.🫶

Na-touch sad ko sa mga parents sa story—buhaton jud nila tanan para matagaan nila’g nindot na kinabuhi ilang mga anak. Maka-guol jud if dili nato mahatag ang best para sa ila, pero atong paningkamotan jud. Dapat e-appreciate nato atong parents. Kung dili man gani nila mahatag ang atong gusto dayon, dili unta ta mag-hunahuna nga wala ta nila gi-love.

Karon nga mama nako, mas nasabtan nako. Lisod kaayo—wife ka, mama pa, unya ga-work pajud! Pero thankful jud ko sa akong husband nga nag-atiman ug nag-provide sa amo.❤️

Basta, nice kaayo ni nga series! Tulo luha every second!😭 Haha!😋

Sometimes, life feels easier when you just stop caring. Walay stress, walay labad sa ulo. But then I ask myself, “Lord, what is the right thing to do?”

If I choose to help, people say I’m trying too hard to be a hero. If I stay quiet, they say I don’t care. Bisan unsa ang buhaton, naay masulti ang tao.

But then I remember—the Bible holds the answer.

Look at Job. He lost everything. Tanan-tanan. His family, his wealth, his health. And just when he needed support, his own friends judged him. Instead of lifting him up, gi-blame pa siya.

But what did Job do? Wala siya nangisog. Wala niya pugsa nga sabton siya. Instead, he prayed for them.

Maybe that’s the answer. Not arguing, not proving myself right. Just pray.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not their opinion that matters—it’s what God sees in my heart.❤️
