Trusting the Detour

Just when you thought the moment you’ve been waiting for had finally arrived, life takes a turn you didn’t see coming. It’s almost cruel at first glance—like being given a taste of something sweet, only to have it pulled away. But then, in the quiet of your disappointment, you realize: maybe this isn’t a setback at all. Maybe it’s God’s way of reminding you that His plan is always greater than yours.

Right now, what I’m doing doesn’t make much sense. Some days, it feels like I’m moving in circles, waiting, hoping, wondering if this is really where I’m meant to be. And yet, deep inside, there’s a whisper telling me that one day it willmake sense. That maybe I need this pause, this season of uncertainty, to prepare me for what’s coming.

Waiting isn’t easy—it tests your patience, your faith, even your confidence. But I choose to believe that this isn’t wasted time. It’s a refining time. A chance to let go of what I thought I wanted, and make room for what I truly deserve.

So here I am, back on the waiting game. But this time, I’m not waiting with fear. I’m waiting with faith. Because if God asks me to wait longer, then what He has for me must be worth every second.




au revoir.

Here In Batangas

So for today's blog, I have here a list of some Batangan words that you've probably heard someone say but had not even the slightest clue what that word meant. These are just some of the most common words widely spoken here in Batangas. And as far as I can, I'll try to explain them to you so that the next time you hear them, you won't wonder what they just said exactly.  Aba nga naman-  This is an expression that means absolute amazement. You couldn't believe someone did such an amazing job. Or you couldn't believe that something beautiful came out of nothing. We don't say, "Good job." Instead, here in Batangas we say, "Aba nga naman."  Aba'y awan-  Here in Batangas, we don't say, "Hindi ko alam. / Malay ko." Instead, we say, 'Aba'y awan. Hindi ko alaman." ala-  This word implies disapproval. When someone says something and we don't agree, we don't say, "Hindi. Mali ka diyan. / Ayoko niyan....

Embracing the Change

Sarting a new job always brings a mix of emotions—excitement, nervousness, and a dash of uncertainty. But when that new job also involves a graveyard shift, things take on a whole different flavor. I’ve just completed my first week working from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM, and while it’s been challenging, it’s also been surprisingly... peaceful. One thing I’ve quickly realized is that time seems to move at a different pace during the night. There's a stillness that contrasts with the fast, chaotic energy of daytime. During the day, it always feels like the hours slip away too quickly. You wake up, rush to prepare for work, and before you know it, half the day is gone. But at night, there’s a quiet that stretches time. My shift starts at 11 PM, and from the moment I settle into work, it feels like I have space to breathe. No rush, no urgency. I can take things one step at a time. The shift may be unconventional, but I’ve found it works for me. One of the perks of working at night is waking ...

A Journey Through Time

Thinking back, I realize that All Saints' and All Souls' Day might just be my favorite holiday. When I was younger, especially in high school, these days meant heading back to the town where I grew up. It wasn’t just about visiting my grandparents’ grave—it was also a chance to see my cousins. We’d be together for a few days, playing, laughing, and just enjoying each other's company. Those memories are some of my favorites. We’d spend hours just being kids, catching up, and making each other laugh. It was a break from school and routines, and we got to make the most of every minute. I didn’t know it back then, but those simple moments would end up meaning so much. Now, whenever this time of year rolls around, I think back on those days. If I had a time machine, I'd go back in a heartbeat to those little reunions with my cousins.  But things have changed. We’re all grown up now. Some of my cousins have families of their own, and we all live miles apart. We don’t go back ...
