The Bigger Picture

A lot has happened since I last posted an entry here - some unprecedented, enlightening, bold, tiresome, educational events that had truly shaped the first few welcoming weeks of my new coming of age. I've ascended over 2 weeks of (supposedly) unnecessary national standardized computer tests, finished 3 seasons of watching Madam Secretary (and is …

What You See Is Not Always What You Get

Last Thursday, as my full-day school finally came to an end, I urged myself to talk to my school-driver along our way home. There were no other children for her to pick up that day, so it was just the two of us in the vehicle - which was a call for my inner journalist …

A Fresh New Take On Passion

I was lucky enough to have found a passion in writing at such a very young age, though having to like it so much, I have never actually got the guts to post any of my work in a public platform like this (i.e. wordpress), at least, not alone. And not since last December. Anyway. …

A Story of A Rose

This is a story of a rose, who was watered quite enough to have blossomed like any other flower we all know and love today.  She accepts the ration she's been given, and uses it with all her might and strength to grow to her very fullest, each and everyday. She grew and grew, day …

A Game Changer

Earlier yesterday, I attended my usual Sunday service at church, and has yet heard another wonderful sermon coming from a lively speaker from the community which I lived in.

You are loved. You are blessed. Don't even think about anything otherwise. Pray often. Worship frequently. Never stop praising. Remember that God is with You, through all of life's never-ending trials and tribulations.  You are enough. Growing takes time, so instead of whining on how swift everyone else is actually doing with their process, you …

Inspiration Tuesday: Moana

Fair enough, this post may seem a little out of date. But as a writer, I couldn't really stop myself from thinking after seeing the movie yesterday, and figured that I could relate to what she was going through a lot more than I expected enough, to not write about it. #perks As I grow …

A Writer’s Prayer

Dear Lord, Before I ask of anything else that may sound serious and/or demanding, I would like to first thank You for Your presence among me and my family today. Also, thank you for letting me live by yet another glorious day. Thank you for all the food, beverages, shelter, and all things sanctuary You've …

The Savior and The Blind Man

How do you start believing in something that a majority of people around you think is impossible? The answer to that is quite simple, really: faith. Today's post coming from what I got during my weekly youth community sermon in church, Impactors, had managed to really equip me with something coming out of the ordinary, that …
