I also have been tempted to turn away from Him in my pain, wondering why a good God would let his children suffer. Yet the Lord has proven abundantly, as He has filled those hollow places faithfully. I am convinced that God ways are far better and wiser than my Continue Reading

Kalma

Ikaw ang pinaka masaya at pinaka masakit na istorya ko. An open letter for the best love story I never had. Nag umpisa tayo sa kape na nasundan ng isang boteng beer at mga lakad na hindi planado tulad ng pagkahulog ko sayo. Hindi ka kasama sa plano ko nung Continue Reading

A Letter to the Girl in the Mirror

DEAR YOU, Today, I looked at you and I saw nothing but flaws – I have forgotten how to accept the beauty that you are. I focused too much on that saggy skin, those zits threatening to pop out, that unruly hair, that more-than-average body frame you have, and so Continue Reading
