Welcome to my writing place!

I didn’t doubt even once ‘cause I knew that it isn’t mine nor other’s work, 

it’s Yours, oh Lord. It’s been a month now since I flew out of my comfort zone and started taking all the risks toward pursuing my dreams. Making a big decision that can greatly affect my life isn’t really my forte. 

I am an over thinker, that’s a fact. It wasn’t easy. 

Now that’s an understatement compared to what I had experienced getting to where I am now so far.

Not to mention of course the process of completing the necessary documents which I believe every OFW can relate to. Plus, the “waiting period” which made me more patient and understanding than before.

Above all that, There were countless of times when I cried not because I was on the verge of giving up or that I found the process so stressful — NO. 

But it was actually because of all the answered prayers I deeply asked for and waited in each and every step of the way. I’m so showered with overflowing blessings because my life has been filled with all the kindest and most loving people who I really need.

To everyone who became my prayer warrior, thank you so much. 

I’m forever grateful to my families and friends especially to my loving mother and father as well as to my ever supportive man, Ian. They never stopped me in choosing this path even for a second, no matter how worried they are for me. 

And of course, to the one whom I surrender everything. 

Him, who made it all possible in His right time, I honor you most, oh Lord. Indeed, whatever we’re going through, whatever we’re praying for, let’s just keep holding on and no matter how difficult the situation may be, let’s never ever doubt His plans. 

Remember, it may only be a tough day. It shouldn’t define what more life has too offer. Wherever I go, I promise to always bring with me and share all the values I embodied since then. YES to more helping, inspiring, and teaching! 

Also, it’s a great opportunity for more self-love, self-care, and self-discovery. To the land of the rising sun, let’s continue getting along well together! Love, 💗

“Everything was so sudden.”

I can still remember my reactions the first time I held you. 

That, for me was the sweetest. Even in the shortest span of your life, you made me so happy. I couldn’t ask for a better pet as you were to me. You gave meaning to my life as both of us didn’t know it would only be for a short while. 

Till now, I can’t forget the very last time I held you.

That, for me was the most painful memory I have now. I have never imagined that I would also feel just like what I usually see in movies when pet-owners cry so much for their dying pet. That moment, I wished I could press pause on time and just make more bonding moments with you. But it turned the opposite of what I wished for. 

Time went by so fast; so fast that I just couldn’t stop my tears from falling. 

I am missing you more each day, Happie. I know now that your name suits you well cause it’s not just a name now, it means literally you. 

I love you so much, my baby. 

My sincerest and deepest love emailed from here to wherever you are now. 

“But we shared a moment that will last ’til the end.” 

Truly, the feeling of being loved and appreciated is undeniably wonderful.

Who would have thought that from these bunch of students I would receive the kind of happiness only them could actually give. That, no matter how tough my day would become, I have them to lighten up the mood and make me believe that I am beyond blessed.  

It is wrong to compare but definitely, being a teacher, unlike any other job is a very challenging one. It is not only your time and effort that are needed but your whole being that could partake in the growth of each unique individuals hungry for learning. A creative mind, infinite patient, ability to multitask, corny jokes, good acting skills, unselfish love, etc.are actually the most essential needs that call to be possessed by a teacher like me. 

Basically, everything that you know and you think you must know must be put into one “you” and be shared to everyone.

Some may even underestimate it since good teachers make teaching looks easy, but above such pressures, still, here I am. Never getting tired because of my students, I become as human and humane being their teacher which I did not even expect and think that I could in the first place.

My loves, thank you for making me feel that I’m doing my job just as well as I can. You inspire me to really be the teacher that you deserve to have too. I am beyond blessed for it is because of you all that I can do everything as much as how my chosen vocation calls me to respond.

We have already started this moment, so let us just continue to conquer and make the best out of every journey we will share together. 

Always remember, “Once a family, always will be a family.”

Here I am. 

This is my story. Welcome!
