Why do we call it Good Friday? 🤔

It's because of what Jesus has done on the Cross. Because of His sacrifice, we are now reconciled to the Father. Our sin, shame, and guilt have no power over us anymore. His sacrifice is greater than all of that. Because of His sacrifice, we don't have to question where we're going after our life here on Earth, just receive the gift of Salvation. Our debts are paid because of Jesus ❤️

It is finished. We got new life in Him! 🌅

It's always cringy and awkward to do something for the first time, but as they say, people shame it until it works. For this round, I tried making a long format video. It's definitely easier to make short form, in my experience, and I haven't even mastered that yet, to tell you the truth.

I'm hyper aware that I'm opening myself up to criticisms, constructive or not, but that's how we grow. I think I still prefer short term format but testing the waters of vlogging exposed me to pressure...to finish the edit as soon as possible, how challenging it really is to consider audio levels, transition effects, and most importantly — the story and context.

So here I am, sharing this with you. I'm tempted to say "subscribe to my channel" this early. Well, I already did. So will you? 😜💃✨

I know someone out there will always cringe for the things I do and want to try, but that's alright. I finally found the confidence to start and continue doing them anyway. I've spent years people-pleasing and I have downplayed my capabilities long enough. I have gained so much wisdom and skill because of actually trying this year. I made sure to include them in my 2025 vision board.

It's heartwarming to see and hear people dear to me cheer me on, louder than how I imagined it. It definitely makes everything worth it and it encourages me to continue, hoping it would inspire others too. I'm happy that I stepped out in faith. The perspective that I've also gained this year has been incredible and I'm excited for 2026, which is why I've prepared another board 😁

I hope I get to see you trying new things, too! Surround yourself with Godly community because that helped me be accountable too! Happy New Year 🥂✨

Say olé to Spanish soul food right in the heart of Alabang! 💃 At .cuenca that vibrant Madrid charm definitely shines through in every plate 🍷On the table, we have:

🍤 Sizzling Gambas, a staple served with pimentón in olive oil

🥓 Jamón Iberico, Spain's take on Prosciutto, flown directly from Spain! Hand-carved in-store!

🐂 Rabo de Toro, a slow-braised oxtail in red wine sauce

🐷 Pugon Lechon, signature pork belly roasted in old brick oven

🥩 Rib-eye Paella, their best-selling US Ribeye Prime Steak resting atop the classic Paella — the epic combination!

🍎 Tarta de Manzana, deconstructed apple pie, a right blend of sugar, spices, and ice cream!

🍷 Sangria, a sweet, fruity comfort in a glass

Muchos gracias for the good food! I came hungry, and I left saying "màs, por favor!" 🥰 Find them at Molito Alabang and get a taste of the legend yourself. See you there, amiga! 🌞

Adding another custom knick knack to my collection, budol moment was reel! This bag tag will definitely go on my backpack! 🎒

They also have pouches and stuffed toys that you can customize, perfect as gifts for the little ones! 🐰 I'm getting that one for my goddaughter next time ❤️

I was actually aiming for a custom bag for personal use, unfortunately they didn't have a red one. I've been loving the colors red and burgundy recently, so I went for this. And since I'm working on a secret but not-so-secret project (I've told a few people lol), might as well use its name on this bag tag ❤️‍🔥

If you're like me who enjoys custom gift items like this, head to and find by the entrance of the department store (next to EO Optical) or find National Bookstore 📚✨

Hope to see you there, Southies! Because I'm definitely coming back 😉🤟

Throwback Thursday to the night Southies Jianna, Mikah, and I enjoyed local bands play at located at Tagaytay. It was so much fun singing along with and 🥰 Most of their songs bring back plenty of memories! 😌

Our night wouldn't be complete without having a taste of their food. My favorites were the Twice-Cooked Pork Adobo and Chicken Rendang, they were perfectly tender and seasoned well, I wish I could have it all for me 😂

I hope to return soon to get a glimpse of more artists playing live and to try their other dishes, too! Will you join me next time, Southies? 🎵✨

Yesterday was the first day of and you still have 2 days to check them out at Ayala Malls Manila Bay ☕🥳

This is my first coffee event in this scale and setup. I have to admit, it's really a fun experience learning. It was quite intimidating for an enthusiast (initially!) but I have no regrets coming here 💖🔥

What is this event for? It is to showcase solutions to the industry, a platform that will show what’s new and provide learnings to further advance the coffee, cacao, tea and bakery business.

If you agree that coffee is life, you still have plenty of time to catch up! Just head over to the activity area, right across Landmark. Approach the registration table upfront if you want the limited copy of the Philippine Coffee Guide, the initial published material for the expo, which costs P350. VIP tickets are available too!

Will I see you later? See you around, Southies 😜✌️☕
