Happy Thoughts 💗

How often do you say thank you? What are the things or happenings in your life that you say thank you in return? To whom do you utter these precious words? Thank you seems an easy thing to say. We hear it from time to time and wherever we go (grocery, bookstore, office, school, etc.) people say this. It's actually a common phrase. Thank you for coming, for calling, for listening, for joining, for taking care of, for choosing, and many more. There are lots of reasons to say thank you. Even with kiddie videos, there are songs, teaching the kids to say thank you. "Thank you is what you say when someone does something nice for you today." - Eli Kids   "When you get something you want, what's the magic word? Hmmmm. Thank you, thank you, thank you." - Coco Melon (If you are a mom or certified Tita/Tito's of Manila, for sure you sing these songs while reading! Haha!) Actually, the reason why I am sharing this topic is because of the K-drama I  have ...

Hello there  💗 ! As I was playing with my baby Brielle today, I was reminded of the time I gave birth to her. It just came to my mind out of nowhere. Maybe because seeing how big she is now and the milestones she's showing us, I'm kinda amazed. How time flies really fast! And made me reminisce those days. A very roller coaster experience for a first time preggy wife. :) Brielle @ 13 months So lemme share you the painful (literally) but one of the happiest times of my life - giving birth to Brielle Margaux. I wanted to share this because I was not able to testify this in our church. I really wanted to, but no chance. So maybe, this is the right time. 😘 Disclaimer:  This may not be an interesting topic for you, but I want to share how God really blessed, protected and showed His love to us during that big day of mine. God plans everything. This is the first lesson I learned. We're told that my expected delivery will be on June 2 (that is when Brielle is just 5 mon...

Prayer is an essential thing to people who believes in Jesus. It is our 24/7 connection with the Lord. Many refer prayer as our lifeline to heaven. We pray because we want to talk to God. During our childhood days, we often pray to ask God for something. For teens/youth, it's like talking to their best friend, telling God, everything they encountered and even praying for the so-called "the one" 😉. We pray to thank God for all the blessings we are receiving. But often times we pray to ask. We pray for our needs. We pray to ask guidance for all the decisions we need to make. We pray for good health and His protection.  Many of us wonder why our longstanding prayers seem "unanswered" that makes us think God is not hearing us. Sometimes there will come a point that we tend to stop praying for it, either you accept that you get a "NO" from God or you gets tired of praying. Questions keep running our head, bothers us, faith is being shaken that we often jum...

Yes, there will always be a point in your life that you will feel weak and sometimes this weakness may lead to hopelessness. Being weak is not just in terms of our physical strength but also on what we are feeling inside (emotions, spiritual, relationships). Weakness occurs whenever any of problem, suffering, disease, worry, anxiety, fear and sorrow is encountered. Most people always find “weakness” as a negative word. Well, definitely it is. But having God in your life, believing that everything that is happening in your life has a purpose and that He is in control, you can confidently say that Weakness can be a Blessing too! During my younger days, I often hear my church-mates (Testimony time in our Youth fellowship) giving thanks to God, not just for all the blessings, provisions they are receiving but as well as to all the trials & sufferings they are encountering. I keep telling myself, "How come? How can they thank God, even in time of trials?” But as time goes by, G...

Hello there! 💕 It’s been almost 4 months now, and we are still in Community Quarantine due to this pandemic. The world is facing a hard time fighting this unseen virus, but we must not lose hope for there’s a rainbow 🌈 always  after the rain! Above all, we have a Great God that is in control 🙏.   With the lockdowns going, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what to do during this pandemic; as a mom, as a wife or just simply as “ Myself ”. I want to do something meaningful; I want to end the fear, the anxiety, the boredom; I want to create something that will express myself. Way back 2019, after giving birth to my baby Brielle, I started filming myself, talking to my phone camera, recording stuff that I think I might use someday (the day I will do my own YT channel! Haha!). But I was not able to pursue it because of the following reasons: I am not ready, I have limited resources, I am not artistic, I am not “videogenic” and of course, I am busy attending to my newborn b...
