Those Who Stay Will Be Champions
Anyone who knows me on a personal level clearly knows that I love the Michigan Wolverines. But out of all the sports that really brings out the fanatic in me, is their football program. And this year, The Michigan Wolverine’s Football is at the top of the mountain. With their most recent win against Alabama Crimson Tide to get to the College National Championship which is set for next Monday in Houston. To say that I am excited for this opportunity to watch Michigan truly be at the mountaintop, I just never thought I would see it in my lifetime. The University of Michigan, known for their rich sports legacy,…

The Art of Senior Living
Leading a growing company in the field of Senior Care has been a welcome challenge for me personally. Of all the endeavors that life has given me, I believe this challenge and opportunity is one that is of the utmost need in our society at this very moment. And in fact, it is a challenge that I have come to realize has provided me a sense of satisfaction, enjoyment, and gratitude. The opportunity of taking care of seniors, it seems, is something I am really good at. It’s not without its challenges, but anything worthwhile will never come easy. It’s even more reason to fully and wholeheartedly accept this as…

Master of My Fate, Captain Of My Soul
Growing up in the vibrant culture of the Philippines and later finding my way to the welcoming embrace of Michigan has woven a tapestry of experiences that shapes my unique perspective. Pursuing a degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of San Carlos marked a pivotal chapter in my life, one defined by academic challenges, cultural exploration, and the foundation for the entrepreneur I am today. INVICTUS Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the…

Focus, Happiness, and a Birthday
This week will mark another year notched on my belt. The perfunctory salutations will arrive this week, from friends and family, and all will wish me a joyous and happy birthday. Fortunately, happiness really is already there. My benchmark for happiness is not too high. As long as I am focused on the things that matter to me, I already know that I will be happy. It is as direct a correlation as anything I could think of. I’m a very big proponent on focus. The lack of focus, especially in our current day of direct, constant, and faster consumption of information. Sometimes, we can focus on things that are…

Things I’ve Come Across
It’s amazing to me that I can often find myself wandering the myriad of inspirational quotes, posts, and articles that are strewn all over the internet. I rarely do it mindlessly, but often as a way to draw inspiration into my own life. Here’s a couple of things that I have come across, but would like to put into this online journal for my own wonder when I look back at this year 2023. Here’s an example of something that came across my screen, that I just had to put down here. Wanting a reminder of simple wisdoms that seem obvious enough, if only it were front of mind at…

Courage Is A Muscle
Like most things in life, the more you use it the easier a skill can become. Courage is such a skill. I can truly attest to this. Many people will be surprised that courage in itself is a skill, because to many it is a one time action that is something that many people instinctively are or they aren’t. The first misnomer is that courage is an attribute that some people either have or don’t have. But if you truly think about it. courage is pursuing any action despite of our inherent fear in moving forward. But anyone can remember a time in their lives that they just chose to…

A New Year. A Renewed House
With 2023 already here, I’m always a big proponent of keeping things simple: and nothing makes a bigger impact than simplifying our home. Here’s something I came across Facebook that I’d like to keep here as a reminder to myself, of THINGS that can bog down our own creativity, our own peace of mind, and our own well being. Attachment to worldly THINGS is one real challenge that I try to work on, because nothing in this life is permanent, and many THINGS take us away from receiving even more blessings… Many of these things are self evident, probably tackled in many organizing blogs, books, and articles. But, this is…

Mama
Mama, I wish I was by your side as our Lord claimed you back into his arms. I wish I had another day with you, another day to see you with my own eyes. The days will no longer be the same, no matter how I try to dream that they be. I wish, but it will not come true. I did not think this would be my fate, that I would never see you again, that I had thought there would be more days and years to come. I took for granted the days that I had an opportunity, but I guess we never know. My heart aches, my…
