strength within

thank you

thank you that amidst anything and everything...

strength and love becomes you

all so naturally

love springs eternal

because you have it in you all along

so, when everything seems dim and hope appears to be bleak

look within

He has gifted you with an eternal supply

of love

of understanding

of strength

of compassion

of wisdom

of resilience

and thank you

for I am blessed because of you

better days ahead

in His name

quantify. love.

o.v.e.r.w.h.e.l.m.e.d.

you never fail to overwhelm me with your love
whether it's your caring ways
or your effortless funny gaze
basta


kaya kahit emo ako na napapagalitan mo ako
i know better that that's love expressed intensely
basta.


i love you


i'm lost for words to define the happiness I felt
basta.


i love you
basta.


thank You, Lord
we may not quantify the reason
but that's the main reason
love cannot be quantified
it can only be given and received
it can only be expressed and appreciated
basta.


and I am reminded once again
to love without measure
to love more purely
to love more deeply
to love even without recompense

women. inspiration.

Today, I'm celebrating the gift of life through two of my most inspiring women...

mamu chrissy's birthday is today

and it's my boss, tita lou's birthday on Saturday

Thank you for the graces that I continue to receive through them.

let go. when comparing. child within.

found a new hobby...

all. forever. always. courage.

It took me some time to recognize the song.
I knew it was a 'song' because it was playing properly in my head.
But i just couldn't figure out the entirety of it.
So, I just focused on the lines that was on 'repeat' mode.

Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

all that you are
that IS brave
but I got the courage from you
it was so innate in you
and somehow it rubbed on me

and when you replied
I love you always forever
Near and far closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you

I just found myself praying
that this will be my forever prayer
to love always and forever
to have the courage to love even when it's difficult
to have the courage to love even when it seems unlovable
to pray for always
to pray for forever
courage

I know my fears
I know my fears about forever
I know I still have to define my always

As always
I find myself settling in the thought of living it one day at a time
and believing I will get to my forever
and I will love always
courage

onward to forever and always
for all that you are
courage
