I have a confession to make: I know nothing much about skin care products. I just wasn’t exposed to them, I guess? I didn’t experience a zit phase and having dark spots on my face (other than my freckles) and body wasn’t something I had to contend with until I got pregnant with our youngest son, Judah at the age of 35. I practically got away using whatever soap there was on the soap dish although I did try a couple of local moisturizers, a toner, and (beats me why!) that peeling liquid you put on your face? I forgot […]
I grew up exposed to worship hymns. My parents were members of a Catholic charismatic community and they had weekly worship services and activities that used a lot of these songs. Being musically inclined even as a child, I easily absorbed the melodies and more importantly, the words. Traditional hymns were heavily based on the scriptures and unconsciously, I had memorized numerous verses to heart. Music stays in the heart Years gone by and those verses never left me. That time, despite having read all the stories in the bible at a young age, I wasn’t aware that I had […]
Kasambahay Bill is 2-way after all So, I’ve heard that the Kasambahay bill has now been made into a law. Many people have raised protests over the passing of the bill, seeing it as one-sided in favor of the helper (kasambahay).

Just recently, a post has been circulating about a maid who pushed her employer down the stairs and smashed her head bloody with a […]
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged about my faith. I had some growing up to do. As people close to me know very well, I am very passionate by nature. I’m the crash and burn type. When I came to receive Jesus into my life, I pursued sharing the gospel to women, children and to those who have lost hope as I had, once. I still believe that the desires that I have, the dreams and ambitions that I have for our family and for the the ministry that I believe that we are called in are from God. […]
I want pictures of our family with ME in it! I kid you not. I take most of the pictures of our family moments so I end up not taking part in the pictures. Yeah, yeah, my kids will remember, so they say, but I want to make sure that they do by documenting it! You know those scenes with grandpa and grandma sitting on their rocking chairs by their porch, browsing through some old photo albums? Jay and I would probably be one of those couples when we grow old to be in our 60s. Of course, I want […]
