During my 13th birthday years ago, I made a wish to have the first ever released “Air Jordan” shoes. In those days in the Philippines, when you wished to own an “Air Jordans”, you might as well wish for the moon. (This is where the Filipino phrase “Suntok sa buwan” comes from.)

In the Moment
I clasped my 4 year old Franco in my arms at the break of dawn today. He woke up ahead of his siblings and went up to our third floor study where I was having my prayer time. Seeing him up so early, I decided to spend some time with him. I lifted him in … Continue reading In the Moment

For that career breakthrough. For that prosperous business. For that ideal partner. But in our desire to get our “tomorrow”, … Continue reading Living For Now
