Merry Christmas


So, it’s Christmas—Jesus’ big day—and let’s just take a moment to appreciate how wild this whole thing is. It’s His birthday, yet we’re the ones getting the gifts. Think about it: we’re over here unwrapping socks, gadgets, and whatnot, while He’s like, “I just came to save the world, no big deal.” Honestly, what a King. 

But seriously, it’s moments like these that hit me right in the feels. God gave us His Son, and instead of us giving Him anything back, He keeps blessing us. And not just the usual “here’s some air to breathe” kind of blessings—He goes all out! Family, friends, opportunities, even those little unexpected moments that make life sweet. Sometimes I look around and think, “Wow, God, You’re spoiling me. I don’t deserve all this, but hey, I’m not complaining!”  

This year, I’m extra thankful. Every single day, I wake up and realize how much God has done for me—way more than I could ever earn or repay. And while I try to be grateful, let’s be real: sometimes I mess up. A lot. But you know what? God doesn’t stop. His love and blessings keep coming, no matter how many times I trip over my own feet.  

What’s amazing is how Christmas reminds us of what really matters. The world gets so noisy with to-do lists, gift shopping, and holiday chaos, but at the core of it all, it’s about love—God’s love for us, our love for each other, and that magical feeling of hope this season brings. It’s not the decorations, the feasts, or even the gifts that make Christmas special. It’s knowing that no matter where we are in life, God is there with us, cheering us on and reminding us that we’re never alone.  

So here’s my Christmas wish: Jesus, please never get tired of blessing us—Your slightly dysfunctional but well-meaning brothers and sisters. We need You. Like, *really* need You. Keep being patient with us, forgiving our nonsense, and shining that crazy bright light of Yours into our messy lives.  

To everyone reading this: I hope your Christmas is full of love, laughter, and maybe even that one gift you didn’t think anyone would actually get you (you know the one). But more importantly, I hope it’s a time to stop and say, “Wow, thank You, Lord. For everything.”  

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about what we have, but who we have—and how much love we choose to give back. Merry Christmas, and remember: while you’re enjoying the holiday, take a moment to wish Jesus a happy birthday. After all, He’s the reason for the season—and honestly, He’s way cooler than Santa. 🎄🎅




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....

My Worst Job Interview Experience

I probably shared with you in the past how I struggled to find a job. I've been to a lot of job interviews. And when I say a lot, I mean a looooooooot. I couldn't count how many job interviews I attended. Whether virtually or on site. There's this one interview that goes on top of the worst interviews I attended. It was somewhere in Pasig. It was an agency. I saw the job posting online, so I sent my resume. They texted me and told me that I had an interview. So I went there. ‎  I am not used to wearing shoes with heels. So every time I attended an interview back then, I always left the house wearing flat shoes. I just bring with me other shoes with heels. Then I'll change before the interview when I'm already near the area. But when I had this interview, one of the soles detached from the flat that I was wearing. I was feeling it before I rode the bus, then it fell off when I was already inside the bus. So I had to wear the shoes with high heels that I brought. The ...

Movie Review: 20th Century Girl

Cast:  Kim Yoo-jung Byeon Woo-seok Roh Yoon-seo Park Jung-woo Release dates: October 6, 2022  Director: Bang Woo-ri 20th Century Girl is a Korean film about love and friendship. This is the second Korean movie that I watched and I'm glad that it didn't disappoint me. The main characters of the film are high-schoolers. But no matter what age bracket you are in, I guarantee that you're gonna love this movie.  Na Bo-ra (Kim Yoo-jung) and Kim Yeon-du (Roh Yoon-seo) are best friends. But due to a heart condition, Yeon-du needs to fly to New York to have a surgery. Before she left Korea, she met a guy who she instantly liked. She asked her best friend to keep tabs on him. Na Bo-ra haven't met the guy, yet. Yeon-du only gave her his name, or at least what she presumed his name was, that she saw on his jacket that he's wearing when she saw him. They go to the same school, so Na Bo-ra easily found him. Again, with only his name patched on his jacket. She update her best frie...
