this is me letting go
I lay in my bed. My last resort is to pray. I know, very unusual of me. You’ve got to understand. Handling businesses is no joke. I juggle commitments from left to right. From advertisements to meetups, from studying to relaying messages, it feels like I’m left to do all these by myself with no…

no to victim blaming
“Victim-blaming is the attitude which suggests that the victim rather than the perpetrator bears responsibility for the assault.” (“Responding to Victim Blaming”, 2023) What does God say about victim blaming? Matthew 7:3-5 “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own…

What is change for?
It’s New Year’s Eve. I just finished listening to a podcast God led me to. I sit and ponder. What the podcaster said made sense at certain points, although I do not agree with some of his call to action. There’s something about politics that programs your mind towards action. If not kept in check,…

acts 1:8

today, i choose myself
I came across myself again. There she was caught up with the flow of life, where she has to think about the books she was to sell or the businesses she has to help. I came across her today. She finally stopped working. She finally just laid down and said, “I need to be here…

love like christ
Chaos and mayhem. There is disorder in the so-called “order”. Where people are at war within themselves. And the default is to think just to survive. Thinking can actually be burdensome. As an intellectual at a certain level, I’ve made it a habit to think– to rationalize to get the best possible outcome. To be…

On Midnight Snacks & The Culture of Excellence
It’s around 11 in the evening and I have just received my fast food delivery. I remembered clicking “with cutlery” on foodpanda. But to my utmost frustration, walang nakalagay. I’m not usually that intolerant of a simple mistake, but this time a fuse in me went off. I got fed up with this slacking culture…

On Toxic Resilience & Right Timings
Resilience. It’s one of the most recently talked about phenomena, at least in the Philippine set-up. Filipinos are said to be one of the most resilient people on the planet; we are known to still render a smile, despite the hardest challenges thrown at us. But, is it always about being resilient? Is it always…
