“I knew all the verses. I’d already recited them to myself a million gazillion times. I’d already told myself all the cliches we single women spout out to somehow appease the longing brought about by the curse given Eve and all her daughters when she was told that her desire will be for her husband…
I knew the underlying truth in them, but I must admit that there were days when these lines simply didn’t work. They just didn’t.”

Words kill. Words give life. They’re either poison or fruit. You choose. - Proverbs 18:21
Sometimes a friend will ask me for advice because they feel like they’re going nowhere in life. They tell me their whole story, whether for two minutes or two hours, and I listen.
I can see they’re totally dead inside. Their eyes are hollowed out. Their hands shake. They have that…

Who Killed Philippine Cinema?
Here’s the talk I gave at TEDxADMU, about the “death” of Philippine cinema, who’s to blame, why we should support our film industry, and how Pinoy films are coming back to life.
Felt an overwhelming sense of pride that I am a Filipina as I watched this video. This young director’s love for the Philippines, its heritage and culture, and the upcoming rise of its film industry oozes through every word.
I actually felt ashamed that I don’t go watch Filipino movies. Well, that’s about to change. :)
Mahal kita, Pilipinas!
How do you clothe yourself with Jesus Christ? In the same way you cover yourself in the natural with clothing — by putting something on. You have to daily “put on” the Word of God. You have to cover your ears by listening to the Word. You cover your eyes by watching only what is pleasing to the Lord. You cover your mouth by speaking the Word and encouraging those around you. As you cover yourself with Christ, you will be strong against temptation, and you will walk in the victory the Lord has planned for you!

My life mission statement: "To know Him and to make Him known."
Loved by a Love Divine. Captivated when He said, "You're mine." Forever grateful, ever-changing... Mirroring... reflecting...
I write because I love Him. I write because He loves me.
