Three years of Blessings: Celebrating our Not-So-Little Angel

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since my last blog post. I've noticed that I often find myself writing during difficult moments, and I’d like to shift that perspective. Instead, I want to focus on the joyful times and celebrate God's glory in our lives. Recently, our only son MJ celebrated his 3rd birthday on September 29, and I’m truly amazed by how much he has grown. For those who may doubt the existence of God or a higher power, I hope my story can inspire a change in your perspective. For those who may not know, I was diagnosed with Clinical Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APAS) when I became pregnant with MJ. Antiphospholipid syndrome is a condition where the immune system incorrectly produces antibodies that attack the body’s own tissues, which can lead to blood clots in both arteries and veins.

Aside from the lopsided script and unrealistic time element, it was just a closure for both parties done for the big screen. It again subtly and subconsciously suggested that cheating is okay. And that Joshua Garcia is now big enough to do love scenes and show his chest again and again, sometimes for no apparent reason. Slow motions can also emphasize dimples and hair flips aside from lengthening nonsense clips, including stopping midway at airports and having small waves. So anyway, that's it. Got my closure too by posting this. So don't be like me who goes out of the moviehouse clouded with disappointment and unhappiness. And oh, Rico Yan is still dead. So is his love team with Claudine. So is m...

13 Life Lessons I Learned from Itaewon Class

All these community quarantine extensions has compelled me to finally give in to watching K-Drama series on Netflix. My brother (among all people) recommended Itaewon Class for me to watch. It took a lot of self-convincing as I wasn’t a fan of what they did to my oppa, Park Seo-Joon’s hair in this series. Yes, I admit I was low-key pre-judging the series based on the hairstyles. Sue me. Add alt text But anyway, one episode led to another and before I knew it, I graduated with flying colors watching Itaewon Class (see what I did there?). I finished the series in less than a week, sacrificing hours of sleep as Park Saeroyi left me feeling vengeful, worried, perplexed and hopeful after every episode so yes, it got me hooked. Here are some lessons I have learned from this K-drama and if you have not watched this, it is highly recommended and be assured that the hair concerns will eventually fade away as you get attached to its characters. Be warned, though, that there may be some ...
