When you think of Christmas, sparkly lights and snow covered trees come into our minds. But have you thought about the real reason behind this wonderful season?…
My mother always told me that I have the hands of a lazy child. Why, you ask? Well they have always been so soft and I always kept them polished and well moisturized. To be quite honest, I have always thought that the most beautiful part of my body were my hands. But as of late, I have found my hands getting more and more worn down in…
As I sat in the kitchen chair of our apartment in Morocco, a friend of mine dropped a certain line that will, most likely, stick with me forever. "You can't be with somebody who doesn't want to see you win," she said.…
If you told me a few years back that I would be living this life I have now, I never would have believed you. As I have previously said on some of my blog posts, I never intended to travel the world and I am just a small town girl from the Philippine archipelago.

Lately, I have been working every single day from 9a to 2a. That is how long my days are--sometimes even longer. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. I love my life, and I love all the work that I am doing. But this past weekend, I was reminded that it is completely normal and that it is alright to take some much needed rest.…
I am pretty sure that based on the title of this post, you would know that this is not a particularly happy story. Yes, you have read that right. In the last two years, I was denied entry to Canada by the Canadian Embassy, not once, not twice, but three times! On my first try, I was in New York. I was going to accompany my cousins (who…
If there is something that I really love in the morning, it is a cup of my hot coffee and the sound of my morning worship. I feel like when I start my day with Jesus, it just goes on really smoothly. So in this post, I would like to share with you all my morning playlist, as of late.…
