I may have lost my faith in some (people), but never my faith in You, my Lord. ❤️

As she sat on the edge of the rocks, in the twilight zone, she gazed up to Him and whispered,

"Abba, thank you for making me realize things, and my worth. I may have prayed for something in the past that probably was against Your will, but I'm truly grateful that You said no. I fully entrust my heart into Your mighty hands. Thank you for never leaving me."

A moment of silence, in the quietude of the night, crickets were humming to the sound of the sky.....

Thank you for this, Artist Na Walang Ruler!! ♥

The past few days/weeks, I'm overwhelmed. I'm stressed.
But I don't want to say that I'm tired kasi ayokong isipin na napapagod ako kahit napapagod yung isip ko.

I kept thinking that I got no one to talk to when I'm at my lowest, that I almost forgot, I have "The Great One" by my side, all the time.

Thank you for this reminder!
Sana magkausap tayo sa isang episode ng Elle Cafe. ♥

FEELINGS
___________________

Isa na yata sa pinakaFavorite kong Bible verse ang Psalms 32:7.

It says, “For You are my hiding place; You protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory.”

I'm used to hiding my feelings, especially those who might cause trouble for me and the people around me.

Nasanay na ako na masaya dapat lagi, hehe, chill ba.

Kapag sobrang lungkot, iiyak ng patago.
Kapag natatakot, kunwari ndi natatakot.
Kapag nagagalit, mas damihan ang patience.

I'd see to it na hindi ako magiging cause ng trouble or worry ng ibang tao. So I can say that I'm a bit of an expert on hiding my feelings.

But there are few times in my life, na nagpapatong patong sya, at nao-overwhelm ako. At dahil ayokong maging cause ng trouble sa iba, or baka mahusgahan ako, or baka mapagalitan ako (dahil sa feelings ko) ~ ako nalang at si Lord ang mag-uusap.

Pero, minsan, ayoko din i-share kay Lord ang nararamdaman ko. Mayabang kase ako, feeling kaya lahat ng bagay. Kaya ayun, before I knew it, those hidden feelings blows up in my face real time.

Bakit ko 'to shine-share?

Kase naiintindihan ko kung bat minsan ayaw nating iconfront ung feelings natin, gets ko when we want time to heal and process our feelings.

At gusto ko lang malaman mo na, GOD is ready to listen and sit with you on this. Ano man yang nasa puso mo ngayon, He is ready to talk about it with you.

Walang judgement. Walang Arguments.
Just you, your feelings, and your God who listens.

He is your hiding place.
He is your safe place.

Kahit minsan, hindi mo sure kung gusto mo bang pag-usapan ang feelings mo o hindi, make HIM the first one you run to kapag overwhelmed ka na.

So kung ngayon ay nasa point ka na naooverwhelm ka na sa buhay, sa problema o sa kung ano-ano pa. Hide in Jesus. Take comfort in Him and may He heal your heart according sa timeline Niya.

"A conversation about your feelings should not end in arguments."

Tulog na ako. :)

I'm laying everything down at Your feet, Abba. You know what's in my heart, and You know what's best for me.

I owe my happiness to You. ❤️

In memory of Ate Salve, a sister in faith, a mother (of my teenagehood friends), and a daughter and servant of God. Lahat ng efforts and sacrifices mo Ate Salve will never be in vain, in the Lord..

If there is one thing that I can say about her, hers is one of the few faces na kapag nakikita ko sa church or sa gatherings, I feel at home.

I'm so in love with this worship medley! ❤️
Happy weekends, cafe goers! 🫰

We all wanted to be that one person that we’ve always been looking up to. The tycoon, the superb, the powerful one in every sense. There’s nothing wrong with admiring other people because that’s part of us being human but what saddens me is the fact that most of us think that magnificos are male. Just male.

I’m not misandric nor am I being gender biased.

It’s just that with today’s generation, where women are being empowered, we should all learn how to look on both genders equally. Tycoons can be a he or a she. The powerful can be a she or a he, and the dictionary doesn’t just contain “magnifico” but “magnifica” as well.

My Own Story

I grew up in a family where my parents were both doing their own way of earning money for a living. My mama used to, and has always been in the buy and sell industry ever since she was a kid. My papa was a company guard back then, and after receiving the separation pay from the company he worked with, purchased a motorcycle-turned-tricycle that was used to generate income for the family.

I never had any idea as to how we were living before. Were we being looked up to? Were we being criticized? Were ends meeting? Were we okay? I never really knew, and I never really cared because the only thing that I cared for was my studies. Not that I’m an honor student though. I’m just a mediocre student who was an avid fan of Tweety Bird and Hello Kitty. That was in the year 2000.

3 years after. 2003. My papa was stricken by Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, and 1 month after being diagnosed with the said illness, he passed away. Since then, mama was the only one who raised me and my brother. I really didn’t care that much about how our lives were going, not until 3-4 years ago when I started to meet random people that unconsciously enlightened me about anything and everything in life.

I started to see how strong my mama was, how sturdy she was amidst all the trials, failures, and persecutions, and that very moment when the light bulb in my head started to blink, I knew for a fact that we were raised by a king. A female one. A tough, lady king.

I saw how much of a failure I am, and how weak of a person I was, and still even am.

Criticisms are everywhere. Failures keep on trying to knock me down. Trials are trying to demotivate me, but hey, I was raised by a king, and so a tough lady king I am going to be.

The tough lady king’s castle were being torn down by the negative vibes that surrounds it, but I would never sit down and prattle with them just to prove them wrong, but rather I’d pile bricks up and help strengthen the empire that the tough lady king has created.

We may not be a tycoon, nor a magnate, nor even in the Philippines Top 10,000,000 Richest People, but to have our own powerful empire built on strong foundations would surely be more than enough.

Cheers to all the lady kings out there!

Yesterday, it was Papa's 19th death anniversary. Just in time when my Trust God Ring got delivered.

If there's one great thing that I would say Papa has left in my heart, it's the seed of faith. It was him who planted that little seed, and it grew and became strong as trials and hardships went by.

This ring isn't just a ring for me, but is also a reminder that whatever happens, I will always trust in God. I wouldn't put my trust on anything less. It will always be on Him.

Thank you for planting this seed of faith in my heart Paps! I will always love you! Always. ❤️

Waiting.
While waiting for the laundry, tamang tambay muna tayo dito sa 7-11. I've never had a me time sa labas ng room ko kaya this, I consider somewhat a me time. Kape, hotdog, wifi, powerbank, and my power duo na lagi kong kasama, notebook and pen.

Laundry.
Business mode tayo after ng work. Been preparing the first collection for Ystela MNL. Was supposed to divide the bale in half para 1st & 2nd collection but I realized, mas maganda na isahang release, that's why nagka-delay delay ang posting natin. But surely, first collection will be posted within this week.

Business.
Yeah. My heart longs for it. Maybe because I grew up na mama is doing business din. From my lola, na nagbi-business din. If i'm gonna recall my childhood, what I remember mostly are memories of me helping my mama sa palengke. We rented a stall before and nagbebenta kami ng rtw and bigas. After school, sa palengke ang diretso ko. Prior to having stall sa palengke, mama and papa would do rolling store with our tricycle.

That could be the reason why hindi ako super exposed sa games and movies when I was a kid. I grew up na nagnenegosyo ang magulang ko.

College days, I used to resell contact lens. Hehe. I think I started in 2007. I started an online shop in 2009 where most of my buyers are my classmates and friends. I was sooooo happy kasi nakabili ako ng electric fan from my profit. Happiness yan. 😅

Yan muna ang kuwento ko.

One day, I'll make another kuwento of the struggle that I had sa food business.

And yes, I've always shared na nalugi ang negosyo and utang ang naiwan, but that won't be a reason for me to stop doing business. Hangga't may A-Z and 1-100, i won't stop doing plans.

Hindi ko alam kung hanggang saan ang mararating ng goals that I've set, but I'm praying na it could go beyond what I aim for, and when that happens, wag sana maaalis ang paa ko sa lupa, and for me to be a channel of blessings.

Hi cafe goers! We'll have ELLE CAFE by 9AM today.
Medyo humaba ang tulog ko, which I like, kasi I always have problem sa pagtulog especially on workdays.
See yah! 🫰

Oftentimes we're so afraid to take that one big leap, na para bang nakakalimutan na nating God is bigger than any fears we could ever have in our hearts.

Wag tayo matakot.
Let's take the risk.

It's either we succeed, or we learn.

Tiwala lang. ❤️

It is when we get deeper and unbordered that we realize, it is faith that sustains us and will keep us alive.

May we all have faith that can move mountains.

I can't waste more time.
I already wasted years, but I can't keep on regretting, so I have to move forward.

I can't keep being disappointed.
Had I not wasted so much time before, life could've been better, I'd say.

But it is what it is now.

Regrets and disappointment won't lead me anywhere but down. Kaya naman, I've buckled my seatbelt and I'm ready for this one heck of an adventurous ride, with everything on the photo as my ride elements.

And just a bit of an advice, for everyone, and for myself:

No matter how hard and how many times we fall, isa lang ang makakatulong sa atin: ourselves. Kaya natin to! Lezguuuu!

The waves are calling meeeeee!

So last night, iniimagine ko yung Elyu. Nakakamiss yung dagat, yung waves, yung sunset, yung stargazing sa tabindagat. I really don't care if I do solo travel this time. Sabi ko, I need to make things happen na.

I've been following Siargao's lady surfers since 2016 dahil gusto ko matuto mag surf. I wanna be a wave rider. I wanna feel the waves, dance on and with it. Basta, gusto ko matuto mag surf. 🏄‍♀️

It has also been one of my goals, or dreams, to have my own line of swimwear na equipped for surfers. [You can check 1 of my posts here on IG]

Then here comes Harbor, the latest agent in Valorant. Imagine, nakita ko lang yung trailer ng skills niya, i got so excited dahil dagat. 😅 Kaya feeling ko, the waves are calling me! It's a sign! I need to unwind after 2 years na nasa bahay lang ako.

So, imma plan a DIY travel soon. It may not be as cheap as before dahil doble na ung pamasahe, but I think I deserve this naman. I've been soooooo kuripot to myself pero di naman siguro masama na mag spend ako minsan, lalo kung alam kong unwinding will help me unclog my mind and heart sa mga stress na naganap over the past 2-3 years.

Kailan ako magsu-surf ulit?
(since i already tried it before pero funny experience)

Kapag maliit na ung tiyan ko. 😂
Ang hirap tumayo sa board kapag hinihila ng gravity yung bilbil mo. Heluuuuuuu!!! 🏄‍♀️

I've been to several places before and I'd say each place has its own majestic beauty. And while I haven't been to most of the places in the country, for some reason, Elyu captured my heart.

I can't explain why I loved, and love Elyu.
Should I say dahil maganda ang vibes?
A lot of places has the same vibe.
Should I say dahil maganda ang sunset? or maganda ang waves?
Patar Beach has that wondrous sunset too. Baler has waves too.

I really couldn't explain why I love Elyu.
I don't know how, but even if there are a looooooot of beautiful places in the country, if given the chance to travel, I would always choose Elyu as my go to place.

I realized, maybe that's what love is.

You don't know why you're loving that someone, but no matter what, siya pa rin yung pipiliin mo, with their flaws and all.

Maybe because you found your home?
And Elyu is my home. ❤️

Happy Monday morning everyone!
Lit the fire and keep it burning! 🔥

And as she sat on the edge of the rocks, in the twilight zone, she gazed up to Him and whispered,

"I've been learning to start trusting people again, but some people, of whom I trust much bigger, seems to be untrustworthy. Will I ever complain? No. I'll hold my peace and just watch how they respect and value things and people's heart. Thank you for uplifting my heart, Abba."

Therefore, sabi nga ni Jay D, our today's session got cancELLEd. 😭
