Faith : Misconceptions of Christianity
I’ve intentionally prepared this blog for Easter Sunday! When everyone else thinks of Easter egg hunts and parties or just simply going to church and complete an obligation, I on the other hand – have been contemplating another “faith-based” post that I haven’t done for a while. A week ago I had a chance to deliver a talk (for the 2nd time with this topic) – CLS Talk #2 – What it means to be a Christian. I want to focus more on the facts of misconceptions for all Christians/Catholics that many of us fall into the trap of understanding barely the actions, without contemplating what it really meant. So,…

What I Learned in our 2016 Sri Lanka Trip
A question, not many would probably ask… most of the time, people ask about “How’s the _____ (country/place) – asking how’s the view, the experience, the food, sightseeing spots, the people and more. On this blog, I would like to answer this in a different perspective. I would like to answer this with what I truly learned and realized when we were in Sri Lanka – September of 2016. Culture, Food, Places, People and more! These are the common “what I learned” many would probably share. Indeed I learned about those different aspects of this place that used to be called CEYLON. So I’m skipping this part as I believe, if you…

The Fear of Losing Jobs
As many of you know, I am an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) – one of the so called “Bagong Bayani”. I am in Abu Dhabi UAE for the past 8 years and 2 months (never thought I’d go this far…) Like many OFW I have gone through the ups and downs of this life which many of the people in the Philippines especially those who haven’t been abroad don’t know, understand and realize. It pains me to hear and see family, friends and relatives (or even Facebook friends who are not that close) thinking that someone who is abroad is “rich”, that money is effortlessly gained. That if “naka-abroad…

CROSS: The Sign of our FAITH
CROSS: The Sign of our FAITH In Ancient Greek, a sign is known to be a mark of ownership. Thus doing the sign means we are letting yourself to be owned by God. A seal we that we acknowledge being a warrior of Christ. This sign in itself is already a prayer. Doing the sign means we open ourselves to God’s grace. Moving our hands from the forehead to our heart/womb, then to our shoulders, we are asking God to bless our mind, our body and the very core of our desires and passion to Christ. ” Pope Innocent III wrote in his instructions on making the Sign of the…

I am Catholic
When our fellow believers start to question us about our faith, most of the time we tend to back down because our faith seemed to be just a “hand-me-down” culture/religion… It is important that as a faithful believer, we don’t only follow blindly but we follow with a grateful heart because we know deep in our hearts the reasons why we do these things. So here’s a list/guide of the bible scriptures that will answer the cabwebs on our heads related to the Catholic faith. Important things we should know as Catholics. – CATHOLIC DOCTRINES ARE IN THE BIBLE – Catholics are always intimidated into believing that we do things…

I Live to Fulfill His Call
I Live to Fulfill His Call I live to INSPIRE ODW – 17.June.2015-Wednesday (NDC Office) An avalanche of ideas comes into my head whenever I am asked what I am living for. For a long time I have often believe that I am such a lucky girl to be raised by a good pair of parents, a happy childhood, a completed degree because of the people who supported me all the way and indeed gained my kindergarten dream of becoming a nurturer of minds – a teacher! But I realized, I’m not lucky, I am BLESSED! Eight years ago I wouldn’t thought of myself being away from home,…

Reposted: In my mind I was lucky, #InMyHeart I AM BLESSED!
Reposting this sharing (witnessing) that I have submitted to CFC-FFL Fliq Media. This was featured in one of the sharing walls of WSC 2014. “ I’m Okay, I’m good. I pray, I do good things to others. My life is beautiful! I am lucky! ” These were my statements all my life back then… Life before getting to know Christ deeper was actually satisfactory and typical. I go to mass, I pray the rosary, do novena and indeed I was a regular Sunday Christian. All the aspects of my life were pretty in good shape; a great loving family, an amazing set of friends back home, finished school, able to…
