How I Spent Last Weekend

Im not an early riser and Im a heavy sleeper. But last Saturday, I..

.. Woke up 2am for our 5am volunteers' call time
.. Attended a bit of the family conference for godly parenting insights
.. Met up with my DGroup Leader
.. Supported as volunteer coach for football and futsal to kids and teens

.. Went straight to CFL for the week’s back-to-back matches and ..

(CCF-FTW Elite Team
We are one for Jesus,
And getting one for Jesus
CFL Match Week 3 Results:
2-2 Suicide Squad
4-1 ProFit FC
Thank you, Lord! No losses so far!)

.. Went home to an energetic Lukas who waited for Mama the whole day
and spent the evening storytelling

“Mama, this is your car para di ka na ride Angkas.
And look at your tires, merong heart (upside down).”


I dont know how.
Yet I know it’s not I
but Christ in me

Training-Ready!

 

adidas F50 League Firm/Multi-Ground in black (Bootcamp)
adidas F50 League Firm/Multi-Ground in white (Bootcamp)
Super Sala II Indoor (Adidas Ph)

Dati nagpapabili pa tayo sa parents natin ng shoes, kasi sobrang mahal ng mga cleats for us.
Ngayon, kaya na nating bilhin sabay sabay...

Finally got myself multi-ground cleats! Thank You, Lord, for this provision! 

Bootcamp took a complete 7 days to ship, while Adidas only took 4.
They both got to my doorstep within the same minute, however.

I'll Always Love You

"The kindest thing you can do for yourself is to let people go when they want to go. No chasing, no begging, let it hurt and then let it heal. When we stop forcing people to choose us, we make room for the people that were made for us. Allow yourself to embrace the natural flow of relationships.

Understand that not everyone is meant to stay in your life forever. By letting go, you respect their journey as well as your own. It creates a space for mutual respect and genuine connections. Trust that the right people will come into your life at the right time.

Focus on self growth and nurturing the relationships that are reciprocated. In this way, you cultivate a community that truly values and supports you.

Remember, every ending is a new beginning in disguise. Embrace change with an open heart and unwavering faith in the journey ahead. Letting go with grace paves the way for deeper, more meaningful connections in future." - Denzel Washington

Admittedly, I botched this song - I was already crying at the beginning. Ang hirap kumanta habang umiiyak ha! Hahaha. Di ko na napigilan, iniwan ko na 'tong gitarista namin sa stage.

BSF 2024: Revelation



BSF this year has already began! We're onto the book of Revelation!

The book of Revelation is God’s promise to us that He will be victorious and that sin and evil will be defeated once and for all. This book provides hope not only for our eternity, but for our daily lives as well.



Feels like I have a roster of life mentors, coaches, titas and ates - I learn so much from these women! Their rich experiences serve as guide for me and I feel embraced by this community!

Blessed to be again journeying with this group of women to study the book of Revelation. 🙏🏻

Back on the Pitch!

When I became pregnant with Lukas, I was still enjoying my youth and exploring what singlehood can offer. One of the things I had fears of giving up was football. Heck, I was weeks into pregnancy and I was still playing in tournaments. In my head, I had to give up football for life and dwell in motherhood. Admittedly, I know that my disobedience came with heavy consequences. I had to accept those and live life straight moving forward. Iyak na lang and hanggang inggit na lang sa mga kaya pang maglaro. So, I surrendered all my hobbies in order for me to glorify God in the new role He assigned to me. But God doesn't treat us the way our sins deserve! That's what God's grace is about! All the while I thought I already ruined my life. I honestly believed I've blown God's plans for me. But I got humbled and reminded - I am not that powerful. God is still sovereign. Fast forward to this year - I got rostered again and set to play in one of the largest football leagues in Metro Manila - Corporate Football League (or more popularly known as CFL). But wait, there's more! I am now playing under the banners of CCF, aiming to give glory to God in the pitch! Thank you, Coach Ric, for being a channel of God's mercy! Hindi naman ako magaling sa sport na 'to. That upgrade could only be God’s work! Pero it's both a privilege and a responsibility at this point! Such great honor to be used by God in the pitch! Additionally, prior to today, I prayed to God for help to get my son into sports or live actively. With this opportunity, I am able to take him out to the field, train, and serve together as a family! ANG GALING NI LORD - It feels like everything is coming together. Diba ang sayaaaaaaa. There really is blessing in obedience and surrender. Ang galing ni Lord to honor the desires of repentant hearts! Obey muna bago ang saya hahaha! I thank God for always giving me the space to make mistakes but also mercy to seek Him in the midst of all that. Salamat din He doesnt count my mistakes.

Pero wait wala pa. Hindi pa ako nakakagoal. Kaya wait lang! Peyshens. My heart is just really happy kaya excited ako to share with you all

All God's grace.

When You Say Nothing
At All 🎵



So.. I unearthed this video from 2010 - yes, Facebook existed then. This was from when cameras were at their 2MP resolutions. Hahaha! Joke. This song still brings the kilig to this day! Hopefully I gave it the justice it deserved. ❤

PS - Had a hard time trying to sit on the stool, I swear! It was.. tall and my dress was silky. Also, I felt like my dress was so short that if I sit.. you know.
