Lolo Kiko ♥

Pope Francis is in the country right now for a 5 day visit, and he's bound to leave for Vatican tomorrow morning. I cannot put into words how thankful I am to God for bringing this man here in our beloved country. I can't help but cry whenever I watch him on TV hugging and kissing the children. His humility and compassion is truly admirable. He has the gift of touching the hearts of the people just by his presence. He certainly brought hope to every Filipino. 

I am a baptized Catholic but a Christian by heart. But with Pope Francis, I learned that religion doesn't matter. What really matters is our relationship with God. The pope said in an interview with an Italian newspaper, “I believe in God, not in a Catholic God. There is no Catholic God, there is God and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation.” I am blown away! Really, religion just differs in the way we worship God, but we are all serving One God so we are all the same. 

Thank you, Jesus for Pope Francis. Bless this man's heart. Give him strength, wisdom and grace to be able to touch more lives.

Thank you, Pope Francis. I thank God for your life. You have touched not just our hearts, but our lives as well by strengthening our faith. Thank you from the bottom of every Filipinos heart. I will always include you in my prayers. We love you Lolo Kiko! You are always welcome here in the Philippines. Viva il Papa! ♥

A yellow raincoat will always remind me of you. :)


XOXO ♥

O.M.G. I can relate to this. Food for thought about being single. :) Everyone’s Getting Engaged But Me: 4 Reasons To Embrace Being Single Repost from HERE. It seems that an epidemic of engagements is upon us. Relationship status updates and engagement photos have begun to plague my news feed at an alarmingly rapid rate. Never before have I seen so many people under the age of 25 saying yes to the dress, forcing me to do what social media subliminally begs us all to do: compare and evaluate my own life decisions. Should I be wanting this? Is there something wrong with me because, not only am I completely content with my current relationship status, but also wholeheartedly believe I’m too young for marriage? I’m the first to admit it: When I think of eternal love, I associate it with my dedication to Netflix, loyalty to Starbucks and love affair with pizza, so surely this means I’m not mature enough to handle seating charts and house hunting yet. Though the idea

Something to ponder upon.

If you're feeling frightened about what comes next, don't be. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path towards happiness. Don't waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next action. Enjoy the present, each moment, as it comes; because you'll never get another one quite like it. And if you should ever look up and find yourself lost, simply take a breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart, where your hope lives. You'll find your way again. =) XOXO ♥
