He has risen.



This year's Holy Week here in Metro Manila is the one that made me feel like I am reborn. For after so many years I successfully took the courage to talk to a priest and made a confession heart to heart.

I talk to God every night before I sleep, silently. I thank Him for all the blessings we have and for my family's good health and safety, but most importantly, for forgiveness. But I know, a confession with a priest is better.

My eldest joined his school's event for their level's first confession and communion. We attend Sunday mass, and he's keep asking me why I am not having a communion. I explained to him that I do not deserve to receive the body of Christ. I told him many times that I must make a confession first. That is why I decided to do it before the Holy Week.

I was also able to attend the Last Seven Words during the Good Friday and heard life sharings from different people. Their story moved me. It was my first time and it did a great impact to me.

For the past years, I have encountered so many challenges in life that almost made me decide to give up. But just last year, He made me gain my Faith again. I was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst in my right ovary. And on January this year, it was gone. Without any medication. With my prayers and my stronger Faith, I am healed.

We attended the Easter Sunday Mass, and the readings, the homily, the prayers, and the ceremony during baptism where the priest blessed everyone while holding a lighted candle, made me feel I am a new person. I do deserve to receive the body of Christ again.

And so, after so many years, I once again feel that I am a good child of God. On Easter Sunday. On the day Jesus has risen. I have recieved His body again.

Easter Sunday is truly the new beginning. New Hope. New Faith. New Life.

The life sharings and the Easter Sunday mass, made me realized that whatever challenges you're facing today will be gone tomorrow. All the sacrifices will be rewarded with God's love on his right timing. All the sorrows, the pains, and sickness will pass. Just make your Faith stronger.

I feel so blessed for another chance He had given me to fix myself, my Faith, my Life. And hope that I will be forgiven.

God Bless everyone.

My Love for Huawei

Before I was convinced by my husband to buy a new phone, I have been using my Sony Ericsson for 7 years. Yes. Out of trend phone. But it is still working great. No doubt of its brand quality. But since I am jobless now, I cannot afford any of its latest phones. So we decided to buy the Huawei Y6 ii in gold. Simple, trendy, and affordable. Plus the quality. The time we bought my Huawei Y6 ii, my husband has been using his Huawei Honor 4c in gold for over a year. Charging time 2.5 hours. 24 hours or more usage time. He dropped it many times. Still, working good. He have it for more than 2 years as of today. In short, quality of his mobile phone is already proven and tested. Which also helped me decide to choose the same brand. Here's my Huawei Y6 ii Lots of Free Themes on Huawei Themes itself. Camera is so good. With features to love. I got mine from Sm Megamall with some freebies. It's cost that time was 7,999. Comes with a bag, free ...

Mom's hands are always full.. and so her heart.

My family is my life. Especially my kids. Like most moms say, I will do everything for my children. At the age of twenty, I gave birth to my eldest, Five. I have no any idea about being a mother at that time, aside from I need to feed and take good care of my son. Thanks goodness to my mom, for  the one on one hands-on training she gave me. I am so lucky I have her at my side and guided me on my first ever mom life experience. Just like other new moms, I have struggled doing what's right and be aware of the no no's. Everything is new. So much failures and self doubt. I failed to breastfeed my son. I don't have enough knowledge about breastfeeding that time as well as a support team. But still, it doesn't mean I was a bad mom, right? I did everything I can to become the best mom for my son. Each day is all about learning and practicing all about motherhood. I am so proud, I was present during those first crawl, first word, first steps, and with his every miles...

Ten years a wife.. A very lucky wife.

On May 13th, we celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary. Years ago, we planned something special for this occasion. Sad to say, we were not able to make it happen, but it's fine. We're okay. What matters to us is, we remained in-love with each other. Ten years. This is an achievement for me to be proud of. Thank God. We made it. We are truly blessed. When we're just starting, people says, young couples like us will end in a failure marriage. Well, to be honest, I never expected that we will reach this stage. For we both have flaws. And starting a family at our very young age was a struggle. We had misunderstandings. Which is normal I think. We both experience bad moods because of stress from work, life, and our kids. We have been through some arguments too, many times. But we never let it end into any physical fight. We always make sure we will talk about it and fix it as soon as we can. As years passed, we both turned into a matured spouse and parents. Our childre...
