What Would Happen if You Knew?

I hope you know what it’s like to hold the hand of a homeless child in Tondo,walk through make-shift living spaces and past people crammed on the streetsto teach kids who can’t even afford to go to public school,because they’re either orphaned or their parents are poor; flood waters swirl underneath your feet and your…

When The One You Choose Doesn’t Choose You

I smiled sweetly at the friend in front of me, a woman I thought to be of wild courage and beauty. It was all I could do because I didn’t quite know what to say at the time. “Kung hindi niya ako gusto, bakit ginawa pa niya lahat ng yun? He took me out on…

When It’s Hard to Let Go

“Why did you even let the relationship go on for as long as it did?” I looked my friend right in the eye and refused to budge my line of questioning. Here was a man who fell in love with a lady he knew from the beginning wasn’t the one God had for him. He…

You Deserve More Than Secondhand Love

To be honest, from the moment this blog blew up back in 2015, this has been one of the things I have always wanted to say. This was something I constantly expressed to my friends, but somehow had a difficult time putting it into words considering how ironic it would be to come from someone…

This Is Who You Are

Take a long look in the mirror right now and tell me what you see. Hips too thin, waist too fat, arms too flabby. Look closer. Tell me what you see. Eyes too far apart, nose too flat, acne scars too deep. Closer. Look deeper. Don’t you see what I see? There, right there, swimming…

A Lover, Not A Sugar Daddy

I still remember the day I first saw you. Immediately, you were etched into My heart. It was love at first sight and since then, I adored you with all My might. I’m sure, being in a relationship with Me is not all you pictured it to be. Because you knew I treasured you so…

Dear Millenials: How Do You Love?

Dear Generation Y, Hear me out. In this world of modernization, we claim to know love by insisting on “marriage equality” all the while pushing for divorce and pre-nuptial agreements. We stay in a relationship until someone more interesting comes along. We think that sex before marriage is completely normal because, hello, we have to…

Dear Reader: Stop Copying My Convictions

Hello, my dearest reader. I mean this in the kindest way possible. As you read through this, don’t hear my voice in your head as someone mad or annoyed. Hear the sincerity and the heartfelt concern. As much as I am immensely grateful that you hold my convictions admirable enough to imitate, I must say…

Loving a Cheater

Your eyes hardened in defensiveness as I confronted you with your mistake. I could hear the way your pride is telling you to just leave, just walk away, to go with who you cheated on me with. You know, someone once tempted me to stray from my love, too. The only difference is, I chose…

Marry Someone Out of Your League

“Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage.” -Hebrews 13:4 I recently came across an article about the Ashley Madison scandal, and I saw comments by men and women who were sharing how you should never completely trust your spouse because it doesn’t take much for them to go astray.

One thing I ask from the Lord,  
this only do I seek: 
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord  
all the days of my life, 
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord  
and to seek him in his temple. 
Psalm 27:4
