Yes, it's you, the man who got God's yes. But maybe it's not yet the time to step up to the next level.
Perhaps this is still the season for us to embrace our singlehood, appreciate our friendships, and learn to persevere in the presence of God alone.
It is my excitement to...
All of us had our fair share of pain, disappointments, heart breaks, failure, losses and struggles on our journey. I know that none of those things I mentioned gave us a good time right? Experiencing those eventually results to breakdowns, tears and we end up getting lost; if...
Yung salitang mahal kita, kailan ba dapat binabanggit.
Kapag ba andito na siya at nalapit?
Dahil ba na attached kana kaya mo nasambit?

Gusto mo lang ng ...
I didn't realize who I was almost 7 years ago since I came from long-term relationships. I was too co-dependent with my two exes. The pain inside the relationship is very addicting, mapapatanong ka if mahal mo pa ba yung taong katabi mo or you just need that person. Magkaiba kasi...
Sa bawat rebolusyon ng mundo sa araw,

At first, I thought making people believe in something you say or do is hard,

Sa lokasyon nang 'di mawaring anggulo.

Mahal, lalaban ako.
Pero hindi… Para sa'yo.

You're always available for her, alam niya 'yon at sinabi mo pang "andito lang ako for you"; pero at the end of the day, it's who she chooses to be available for her.
Ang panalo ay kaninong "andito lang ako" ang pipiliin niya.
Ipinagtagpo pero hindi itinadhana, pwedeng ipaglaban pero hindi pwedeng ipagpilitan.
