After eating breakfast, I took my bible and journal outside our home and did my quiet time. One of CCF's Dgroup leaders asked us to read through Psalms. As I was reading through it, one verse spoke to me: Psalms 4:4 'Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hears on your beds,… Continue reading Quiet Time: Apr 8
Pursuing the One Thing
New Zealand's lock down started midnight of March 25, 2020. It's been 2 weeks since it started but I'm only experiencing the full force of it now since I've continued working through it. But now that I've been asked to stop working because of my heart condition, this is officially my First day of lock… Continue reading Pursuing the One Thing
Lock down
6:00pm New Zealand time. I found someone to cover my shifts for the next 2-3 weeks. I have done all the paperwork that the acting house leader has to do every month. I've sorted out the roster. I've done the house grocery shopping. It's official. I'm unemployed...well, just until the lock down ends. Here I… Continue reading Lock down
Surfing at Muriwai
December 5, 2018. The day we decided to battle the waves. Elijah, being the extra person that he is, decided to spend his birthday by crossing off one item on his bucketlist: SURFING.

Wellington Film Photodump
Last November, some of my friends and I decided to go to Wellington,the capital of New Zealand. I thought that it'd be a great opportunity for me to use the $15 point and shoot film camera that I bought at the flea market. I used up 2 rolls of 400 ISO film. It took me… Continue reading Wellington Film Photodump

Life Update
It's been AWHILE since I last posted. Don't come for me! I've just been really busy and well... I honestly didn't feel very motivated to post anything. I don't want to post anything even I wouldn't read. I'm not sure if anyone reads my blog, but to those who do take the time to read… Continue reading Life Update
Cathedral Cove PhotoDump
After Hobbiton, we decided to go to Narnia next.😂 It's been a long time since I've seen the Chronicles of Narnia and I have to admit that I forgot which scene showcased the location. 😅 Cathedral Cove is a 3-hour drive away from Auckland. It takes 45 minutes to reach the beach from the parking… Continue reading Cathedral Cove PhotoDump

3AM thoughts
It's exactly 3AM when I decided to write this post. Here's proof: That's my Angkong. My grandfather. I just finished watching Freedom Writers for the nth time. The movie is about how a teacher was able to change the lives of her students. What the movie impressed on me was that we have the power… Continue reading 3AM thoughts
