About Tomorrow

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. Proverbs 27:1 This was the word I meditated on yesterday during my quiet time. We should really be careful in (vainly) planning for tomorrow. A good example would be, I thought and planned to finish at least 2 long videos […]

Here on Earth

Why are days flying so fast? I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I posted my last podcast episode. My train of thoughts looks like this “I missed yesterday’s episode.” “Oh no, I can’t do it today.” “Maybe tomorrow” “Promise, tomorrow I’ll record.” “My listeners would understand” “I have to prepare to go […]

Time in Karuizawa

Note: Long blog 🙂 “For the moment, just let me know your willingness”, Janet wrote in her email as she asks for volunteers to clean OMF’s guest house in Karuizawa. We are located in Chiba, that is about 2-3 hours drive to Karuizawa. I was more than willing! To help and to go. So and […]

A New Beginning

Blog slightly taken from my personal quiet time. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.  27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to […]

First Day at Home

I had a vivid dream after a long time. It was about something simple and funny — I went to an event in Japan without a proper attire. When I woke up, I realized I was back home in Manila. My mom’s house, in my sister’s room, my niece waking up at the same time, […]

DisneySea 2025

I met Ate Cristina through our church’s online meeting. She sent a prayer request for “Destiny Japan”. That’s a huge prayer request, almost like an impossible thing to happen in our generation (lol joke as of writing this i feel like it’s totally possible but at that time, it felt like it wasn’t okay). Anyways, […]

Song of Songs

It’s February! It’s the love month and Valentines is just around the corner. For the last days of “new season” series from January, I’ve been praying to God what Sunrise Podcast’s next series would be. I got His answer while reading a book on the way to my ministry work. About love! It’s in the […]

7 Things I Learned in the Mission Field

I only have a few weeks remaining to finish my mission trip in Japan. There are more than 7 things, of course, that I learned in this journey of following God and serving His kingdom. I’ll make sure to write more when I get back to the Philippines. Godly families are God’s design Growing up […]

The Lord is at work in Japan

Before going to Japan, one of my prayers was “Lord, allow me to see Your kingdom in Japan”.  When I prayed this, it was a hopeful thinking to see all of Japan worshipping God. Or that God would show me the salvation of Japan as a nation. Guess what? God answered. God answered my prayer! […]
