Today (and always 😀) I honor my father-in-law for being the super great father he is to me and the best he was, to my love.

Artie and I are beyond blessed to be spending days with him, beyond blessed to be learning from him & most especially, beyond blessed to be loved and taken cared of by him & mama.

I wish papa a long, healthy and happy life. 💙

Ich liebe dich, Papa. Immer. Happy Father‘s Day! :)

I am so glad that my soul chose you to be my mama in this lifetime.

It is truly the greatest honor of my life to be your daughter and I look forward to spending more quality time with you, to going places with you, to chilling out with you, just laughing so hard, just talking about life, love, grief, happiness and all the things in between.

I get to survive and thrive because of you and for you.

I love you very very much, Mama and always remember that I gotchu.

My heart is full of gratitude and love because of the immense success of the 18th PHILSME Business Expo & the Launch of the the Magazine as well.
There are so many people to acknowledge and stories to share but I know that can wait as I catch my plane to return to Köln.

However, this one can’t wait.
I‘d like to dedicate this post to my big little boy Artie who had to celebrate his 3rd birthday while his mama (& everyone else!) was working at SMX. 😆
Artie has been very patient, so understanding & considerate.
At such a young age, he‘s already so thoughtful, very maparaan at all times & he always listens & obeys.
This little boy kept me going, inspired me every step of the way and had been my source of just every thing I needed whenever I was about to go down the hole.

Artie, you will always be mama‘s number one priority & the reason why she does things the way she does it. You are mama‘s greatest blessing!

To everyone who‘s shown Artie love, care & friendship, thank you so much. 💙

A big shoutout to his super grandparents, Ninong, Titas, cousins and ates who are always there for him. 💙 Maraming Salamat.

I was in the shower when I realized something funny.

I think I have 2 personas.
😳😳😳

One side is always eager to share.
You know those moments that feel big, like realizations, like downloads.
The kind that makes me think, this is too meaningful to keep to myself.
Like somehow, if it was given to me, it’s meant to be shared.
Like it would be a waste not to turn it into something others can learn from.

So whenever something happens to me, good or bad—I get this giddy feeling, my instinct is always:
I have to write about this. I have to share this. This is something I should post about.

And the, there’s the other side. 🙃🙃🙃

The one that pauses and says,
This is rare. This is sacred. Maybe this is just for you.
The one that reminds me I’m just too tired.
That I don’t always have to turn every moment into content.
That the world is already noisy.
That people are already going through their own things. That someone out there is already saying a lot with the equal importance or gravity of what I am about to say.
That maybe… I don’t owe the world every version of me.
(But Oh my. I know, I know. Most of what this 2nd persona says- they are so untrue!)

But really, these two sides show up at the most random, unpredictable times.

And I find myself choosing between them… over and over again.

So today, me speaking this out loud—this tension, this truth—
I guess you already know which side won.
😁🥰😍

Are you also like this sometimes? Are you?!!
Please tell me I’m not the only 1. 😅🤣😂
