Meaningless


Even the most beautiful place on earth
diminishes to nothing… without you.

Recuerdo de Coron










Coron, my love for you
is higher than cliffs,
deeper than lakes,
and knows no boundaries.

Closer to Nature, Closer to God

Silence, solitude, harmony, the enchantment of creation, the freedom of Light, and the passion to share God’s Word – this is Caleruega, the seedbed of preachers, the cornerstone of spiritual inspiration.









Caleruega is a house of prayer and renewal. Its doors are open to retreats, recollections, study and research, youth camps, marriage and family encounter celebrations, and other meaningful activities.

Come, explore the peaceful mystery.

PS.
Unintentionally, there are times I find myself asking my little brother questions once hounded to me by our parents when I was his age - "So are you still seeing this girl?", "So what's your plan now?", "When was the last time you went to church?". Sometime not realizing it was already ages before I myself took a holy communion and confessed my sins.

Think of how differently it would be if you never met the person who changed everything


Somewhere, someday in this uncertain world
if our paths ever cross again, I hope I already have
the guts to tell you more 
than I can right now.

The first page of my life history


Dear Dad and Mom,

I love myself
because you loved me first.

Your firstborn,

Potipot Island

Best things sometimes come in small packages.










A six-hour bus ride from Manila and another five-minute boat ride from Uacon, Candelaria in Zambales, the small but beautiful island of Potipot beckons weary souls of people from the metro.

I Left my Heart in San Francisco

The chilliest winter I ever spent was the first day of summer in San Francisco.
















It was a dream come true to visit the Land of Milk and Honey, see the Golden Gate Bridge, and finally set foot to the major destination country of Filipino migrants. I love SF every moment, every second, every rewind.
