We all wake up daily and promise to be better versions of ourselves. Often, we fail our own expectations and then become cruel to ourselves. I have been in that situation so many times that I lost count. Still, life has its own way of surprising us every day.

In a few weeks, I will be starting a new season in my life and I can't wait to share all the details with you. I just wanted to savor this triumph for a while, without anyone lurking in the background. I am at a point in my life where I just wanted to enjoy things quietly for a while before I share it with the world.

Please continue to pray with me as I work my way towards a new chapter of my life and when I'm ready, I will happily share all the details with you.

Xo,

Social Media has been feasting on celebrity break-ups left and right. As a swiftie, I also mourned the news about Joe Alwyn and my girl Taylor. But the break-up that strikes me the most is of Moira Dela Torre and Jason Hernandez.

I am not that big of a fan of Moira but I have listened to a couple of her songs. I was of those who reacted positively to their engagement announcement through a music video. I was one of those who shed happy tears in their wedding SDE. So when the news blew up that they were separating, I was taken by surprise. How come this happy Christian couple decided to separate ways? What exactly happened? 

I thought it was long over, that news was so 2022 when the ex-husband decided to post teasers of a random girl, adding fuel to a fire that has been so long over. People thought that he was soft-launching a new flame which turns out to be a teaser to a new song, a new song implying that he was still not over Moira. I was one of those who somehow didn't like how it seems like he is commercializing the break-up but then I realized, Moira wrote songs too about it too. But, it somehow feels so disrespectful to add snippets of the proposal and the wedding on the music video when the other person is trying her best to heal. To make it even worst, people from their life started posting online apparently to break the silence.

I've seen all the posts and started wondering how can anybody justify cheating, especially in marriage? How can people blatantly say that the only mistake of the other party is to listen to the call of the flesh like he just lied about spending Saturday night with the boys? And not just with this current issue, we all have witnessed a lot of celebrity cheating issues, spending time with a friend out of town, and eventually admitting to being a couple. I don't get it. If you want out of the relationship, then leave. 

Another thing that concerns me is forgiveness. "You're both Christians, why don't you just forgive each other, work it out, and move on" is what I always hear from people who wanted to help couples work it out. It pisses me off somehow because how do you just repair a trust that has been broken? And also, trauma after trauma, how does a person heal?

I am deeply sorry for this couple -- it's hard to heal and I know that, what's harder is they have to deal with it with everyone watching. I just pray that in time, they will both find peace in whatever path they will choose to take in life. Right now, I just wish that people around them will just shut up.

Hello, luvs! I am back with another escape diary. 😀 I recently went on a quick beach trip with none other than my high school bestie!!! Yayy! We have been wanting to go on a beach trip since we were in high school but we couldn't afford it back then now that we both have jobs, maybe it's time to make this trip a reality!! Yey! 😀

I was in the UK when we started planning for this trip. Lol. I am not keen on using the word "plan" lol because this is more like a spontaneous trip for both of us. Although we talk about it a lot, it's not really like we planned anything about this trip except the flight dates hahaha. 😂😂😂

So we have decided to book our tickets first. We chose February 8-10, 2 nights in Bora. This is also the same schedule as her quarterly vacation. And from there, we had nothing else planned. 😂😂😂

Mhai booked our hotel tickets on January 29th (just a few days before our actual flight! hahaha). Booked 2 nights at Crowne Regency Hotel and we both don't recommend it, staff was all really great people but the hotel itself is just blah. Anyway moving on.

We realized 2 days before our flight that we still haven't planned our transfers from the airport - the jetty port - bora. Well, no problem cause we had TikTok to the rescue and to be honest it was all so easy. 

We don't even have any activities planned but no worries, there were a lot of people offering activities in the island. You just have to use your haggling skills because some of them will charge you more. We ended up joining an island tour which is kind of disappointing because our boat keeps on messing up and we weren't able to see Puka Beach.

But what's important is this:

Hello beautiful people!
