A year ago, I didn’t have a choice but to make a sacrifice for my health. Hindi po sia masaya and it was super frustrating. 😅
But looking back now, I’m so glad I did.

After 5 years of feeling like my body wasn’t mine, I finally feel like a normal human again. And I celebrated that by running the 16KM at Sante Barley Trilogy!

From 3km to 16km rilkwik! 😆🏃‍♀️

A proof that I’m here, that I can, and that it was never too late to take my life back.

𝑴𝒂𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒏𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒈

That’s what I’ve been calling myself for these past few weeks.

Sa sobrang init, I can’t help but hide and try to recharge as often as I can.

Because of this, I was less productive, always tired, and most of the time had no idea what to do (Hello, brain fog).

Syempre, kasama na diyan ang paninisi sa sarili, self-pity, and the belief na isa kang ‘mahinang nilalang’ just because matindi ang trigger for us na may lupus this summer sea*on.

But, I was also reminded of how to be gentle with ourselves during these times. In each sea*on of our lives, we are called to embrace and learn the lessons it offers.

For now, we are called to be gentle and kind to ourselves.
It’s okay to feel lost and unsure right now..

Our body is doing its best to survive, so let’s do our best to support it as much as we can!

Drink lots of water, give yourself permission to rest, and ask for support from loved ones.

You're doing the best you can, and that's enough. 💜

- A letter to all lupus warriors out there

13/02/2024

One of the main rea*ons why I created this account is to spread awareness about lupus and what it's like to have a chronic illness, especially since many people are not aware of it, particularly here in the Philippines.

I understand why only a few are willing to share about their journey, and THAT'S OKAY!

This is why I chose to step out of my comfort zone to shed light on all warriors who feel alone and lost, while also helping those around them understand what they're going through.

It's a tough ride, and words alone can never fully explain what it feels like to have something like this.

However, knowing that the people around us can see us and choose to understand our journey, even though it's something they've never experienced, makes this journey and healing much easier.

So, if you are confused or don't know what lupus is (yet), here are some things you need to know!

𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒔𝒂𝒅, 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒚, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒏𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖?

I was spiraling down yesterday and I knew that I had to go outside para huminga.
So, I decided to go walking with my dog in an empty space here in our subdv.

When we were about to go down the road, I noticed a big biiig dog with its owner coming from the opposite direction.
So, what I did was.. I took my dog and waited for a while in the car hanggang sa makaalis lang yung malaking a*o dahil we never know.. baka kung anong mangyari kapag nagkasalubong sila.

And I love my doggo so much that I don’t want him to be put at such risk. huhu

While we were in the car, umiiyak na yung a*o ko HAHA
He’s crying kasi excited na excited na siya bumaba at tumakbo sa road na yun 😆

Everytime kasi na pumupunta kami sa empty space na yun, pinapakawalan ko siya para makatakbo sia without a leash.

While waiting for them to pass through, kinakalma ko lang yung dog ko telling him that he can run and play later, and like really explaining to him kahit na di nia ko naiintindihan lol (uyyy, aminin.. I know ganyan ka rin sa mga alaga mo 🫶)

And just when we were sitting there, bigla akong nagkaron ng realization dahil kanina lang, I was feeling the same way my dog was feeling!

Yung tipong nasa harapan mo na pero di mo parin makuha
Yung alam mong “Andyan na oh!” pero may something talaga na parang pumapagitna.

What if? What if that was God holding us.. telling us na wait lang, it’s not yet the perfect time..
Kasi He knows something that we do not.

Alam Niya na kapag hinayaan Niya tayo to do or get what we want, it will end badly or there’s a greater risk that may happen?

And He loves us so much that He wouldn't put us at such risk..

But that doesn’t mean that it’s not for you! It just means that we have to wait for the perfect time for it to happen.

All those times, I just hugged my dog, thanking him kasi he became an instrument for me to find the answer I was looking for.

And just when we’re about to play sa empty road.. THIS RAINBOW HAPPENED.

Grabe, I was teary eyed.. It was indeed a message from Him.

I had to share this with all of you because I know hindi ako nag iisa..

A great reminder for all of us

Each month looks different, and I'm so happy that January is one of the months where I got to do more of the things I love!

- Going to the gym is always a 'feel good' achievement for me, and the more I accept that my gym routine will always look different from most people, the more I get to enjoy my journey ✨
- Meditation and journaling are some of the most energy-lifting activities I do that help me continuously heal and make better choices for my body.
- Cannot emphasize this enough, but CHOOSE YOUR CIRCLE. Being in pain due to chronic illness is already hard for us, and having healthy boundaries and relationships will help us focus more on our healing than stressing out because of other people.
- Painting, playing more with my dogs, content creation, learning something new... these are just some of the things I did for fun!
- Walk with nature. Make sure that your mind is focused more on the beauty of it, and trust me... it does wonders! 🥰

I promised to dedicate this year to my healing... and yes, I will not give up on my goal of being in remission.
How about you? What better choices did you make for healing this January?

Remember to celebrate even the smallest wins, so comment down below!

𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.

Growing up with body dysmorphia, appreciating my body has been a big challenge.

And it became even more challenging when I was diagnosed with a chronic illness.

Dealing with various medicines and constant fatigue, it's a rollercoaster journey – either being underweight or overweight, finding yourself unable to eat or trapped in the battle of not being able to stop. Plus, the fact that it's going to be with me my whole life.

Moon face, lots of bruises, and weight gain slowly took away my confidence, causing me to hide from the world. It even reached the point where I avoided every mirror I saw.

But this year, I'm giving myself a chance to fall in love with my body again. To be proud of every curve and every imperfection, as everything about it has its own story. To love every bit of it and not be ashamed of the struggles it went through.

To everyone who knows someone with a chronic illness, please be kind with your words. They may not voice it out to the world, but their struggles are already heavy, and their self-esteem is probably at its lowest. Hearing harsh comments about their appearance is the last thing they need from this world.

Let us not be one of the rea*ons why they choose to disappear and hide just because their struggles are far different from the majority.

And to warriors out there (lupus man yan or other chronic illness), take your time. Don't rush and someday you'll also learn to love every bit of you.

With or without medicines. 🦋

𝐍𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐤𝐨 𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐑𝐓 😬

… and I wasn’t able to get off sa station na dapat kong babaan.

Honestly hindi naman siya big deal talaga. but as a probinsyana gorl, medyo kinabahan ako ng very slight dahil first time mangyari saken yun and alam kong kailangan ko pang bumaba ng station para bumalik sa dapat kong babaan.

Plus the last time na sumakay ako sa lrt was a year ago pa!

While on the train, syempre todo reklamo pako sa isip ko
Kesyo bakit naman ang bilis magsara ng pintuan or ano ba yan, magbabayad nanaman ako ng pamasahe pabalik.

But little did I know, may purpose pala yung moment na yun.
As I went to the other side of the station, napansin kong wala nang nagbebenta ng ticket (panic mode again).
And I saw many people na nagkumpulan sa may automated ticketing booth.

Now these people, I think, are in their 40s to 50s (not sure about this), working people and they have no idea what to do. Mahahalata mo talagang nag aabang lang sila ng marunong gumamit nun and no one is even helping them.

Since medyo may idea naman ako on how to do it, ako na unang gumawa para masundan nila yung gagawin ko. I even heard some of them saying natatakot sila maglagay baka di na sila masuklian. Which is very normal kapag first time mo palang gagawin ang isang bagay.

After that, I can sense their relief and sunod sunod na silang bumili ng ticket.

Going back sa station na dapat kong babaan, natawa nalang ako dahil parang a few minutes ago reklamo ako ng reklamo pero yun pala, kinailangan talaga ako don.

Even if it’s just a verryyy small thing, it really boosted my overall mood and energy.

Nakakatawa din minsan si God, nuh?
A lot of times, may plano ka naman, nakahanda ka naman, pero di parin nasusunod sa plano mo yung nangyayari sa buhay mo.

Pwedeng sinipagan mo naman pero di ka parin nakapasa sa exam
or sinusunod mo naman lahat nang advice ng doctor mo, pero di ka parin gumagaling..

Syempre reklamo here and there na ang peg naten, but have we tried to look around and see what kind of impact we have sa mga taong nakasalamuha naten if it wasn’t for that reroute (small or big)?

We can always choose to complain
But we can also always choose to be grateful no matter the circumstance is.

Ikaw, ano and pinaka unforgettable ‘reroute’ na nangyari sa buhay mo?

My week started off as not so great.

It was actually one of those weeks na lagi kong natatanong sarili ko if I’m doing the right thing or leading to the right path.

But then, this storm happened.

Along with the storm came internet interruptions and I have no idea how to work effectively with the internet not doing so well.

So, instead na magmukmok at magalit sa WiFi, I decided to take my big yellow raincoat, wore it, and went outside to enjoy the rain.

Hindi naman ako naligo completely, gusto ko lang talaga siya mafeel 😆

Then a question suddenly popped into my head, “When was the last time I enjoyed playing in the rain?” 🤔

You see, ako yung tipo ng bata na kapag nakarinig ng ulan, pinakaunang ginagawa ay tumakbo palabas para maligo 😁

And thinking about it, when was the last time you really enjoyed having fun even in small things in your life?

Growing up, having a lot of things to do, deadlines to meet and goals to accomplish, we sometimes forget the fun in little things that life brings to us.

This is a reminder to all of us that no matter how busy or how old we get, we can still enjoy the things we used to enjoy back when we were still little.

I hope you never lose the child within you, the child who enjoys the little things no matter how hard the storm is in life. ✨

PS. Giniginaw nako when my mom took this picture kaya ganyan na itsura ko lol 😂

Cheers, Warriors!

✨ SA SUSUNOD NALANG ✨

The word “Later” may seem like an innocent word, but it has killed so many dreams already.

Grabe nuh, thinking about it, people have already said that word too many times in their lives.

Every time an opportunity comes in, People would always say ‘’Later” or “Next time”
But there’s no harm in saying that, especially if you know you really can’t do it now.

Three meanings can be behind the word “Later”

1. It could be that many priorities have been set already that we cannot squeeze the new ones into our schedule.
2. Fear that you’re still not ready or worse,
3. Fear of what others will say to you.

Now, the question is, what is the meaning behind the word you gave? Was it because we really mean to do it next time? Or maybe because we are just too afraid to do it now?

“Masyado pa akong bata jan, next time nalang”

“Hindi pa ako magaling/talented para jan, next time nalang”

“Sila nalang muna, susunod nalang ako jan.”

For sure, you’ve heard these phrases or maybe ikaw mismo nakapagsabi na nito.

But, what if that “Later” becomes “Never”?

Time is ticking and every opportunity passes by.

You’ll never know when’s the very last time you will say that word.

I hope that we all realize that and never set aside the things we really want to do in life.

Grab the opportunities that you want as much as possible

Live life the way you want because you know you can.

Cheers, Warriors!

LAHAT NALANG NANG GINAGAWA KO, PALPAK. AM I MEANT TO FAIL? 🤦‍♀️

Kapag nagisismula palang tayo sa kahit anong larangan, there will always be that feeling na ‘baka hindi ko kayanin’ or feeling mo ‘I will eventually fail’ 😩

Starting out in everything can be quite scary and overwhelming.

Maging sa business man yan, relationship, investment, or kahit ano pa yan..

And that’s okay!

Do you know why? 75% of our brain tells us we are meant to fail. Imagine, 75%!! 😨

No wonder every time we try to do something, automatically, our brain tells us that WE CANNOT DO THAT.

Although we cannot blame it because it is our brain’s way of protecting us.

For us, NEW means OPPORTUNITY. But for our brain, NEW means DANGEROUS.

Buuuut here’s the thing, who’s the bigger boss? 🤔

Is it you or your brain?

👉If you let your own brain rule your life, what do you think will happen next?

👉If you let yourself rule your own brain and how you think, what do you think will happen next?

Yes, you are meant to fail but you are also meant to overcome that failure.

Overcoming this might be a challenging task but being aware of it is already a stepping stone.

Try to assess how you think and you might find the answer to whether it is you or your brain which rules your life.

You can do it, Warrior!

“Ang hirap naman mag adulting!”

Nasabi mo na ba to sa sarili mo?

These were the words I kept telling myself after graduating, and I know I’m not the only one! Ang hirap manghula ng next steps lalo na kapag all your life you think graduating college is ‘the finish line’.

Assuming na after graduation, things will be better. Magsstart na makaipon, makakapagwowork in a company or maybe create a music studio para makapagteach ng piano and voice lessons. I thought all of these would automatically come to me. (Just like puberty! srsly.)

Back when we were still young, decisions are not really for us to make. Basically, ito yung mga bagay na dapat sa mga ‘adult’ na pinapahandle.

👉Sanay tayo na binibigyan ni teacher ng assignment
👉Sanay tayo na binibigyan ng prof ng requirement or project
👉Sanay tayo na sumunod lang sa kung anong sinasabi ng parents
👉Sanay tayo na sumunod sa schedule na gawa ng ibang tao para satin

We were told to just follow and obey the rules. That’s why when we reached the ‘adulting stage,’ nganga na tayo.

It’s like driving a car in the middle of SLEX na wala kang alam sa pagddrive, and you have to figure it out on your own WHILE DRIVING. (!!!!)

But life has a way of letting you see the truth. For me, it was this. The moment I started complaining about how hard adulting is.

That was when I started looking for books na related to adulting, and as I was looking for answers, I stumbled upon a quote in a book, and it says:

“ Adulting is something that you do to make things right in your everyday life “

Yes! Adulting is taking the proper steps (slowly but surely) every day.

👉It is acting as if you know what to do already (or if you don’t, then wag mahihiyang magtanong!)
👉Giving credits to the things that you do to achieve your ideal life (maging maliit man yan or malaki)
👉Accepting that things may not come easy or that some things may never come (AND THAT’S OKAY!)

I admit, hindi siya madali. But think about it. The only person that can help you with adulting is yourself. If you won’t take actions to make small changes everyday para sa ideal life mo, then sino? Sino gagawa niyan para sayo?

And for that, I hope that you may find clarity in every confusion you have with your adulting life right now.

Laban!
