Merry Christmas 2025

 

🎄✨ Merry Christmas Every Juan and mga Ka-Tariray! ✨🎄

May the joy of Christmas remind us of God’s greatest gift—Jesus Christ, our Savior and King. As we celebrate His birth, may our hearts be filled with peace, love, and gratitude, and may we share that love with everyone around us.

📖 “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given…” — Isaiah 9:6

“Christmas is not just a season—it is the story of God’s love made visible through Christ.”

May your home be filled with hope, your family with joy, and your life with God’s unending grace. ❤️

Forgiveness🌷

“Forgiveness isn’t approval of what happened—
it's the decision to stop letting what happened control your heart.”
-iSTariray23moments

When someone does something to you that feels unforgivable,
there is really only one path to freedom—forgive them.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean staying in a toxic space.
We must remove ourselves not only physically,
but mentally and emotionally as well.

Because carrying hate is a heavy burden.
Wishing someone harm, hoping they “get what they deserve,”
believing that their suffering will make us feel lighter—
it never works.
It only makes our hearts heavier, weighed down by bitterness.

We imagine that withholding forgiveness somehow punishes the other person.
But you cannot force conscience onto someone.
If they are not troubled by what they did,
then your anger hurts only one person—you.

When we refuse to forgive, it simply means we are the only ones still caring.
And in that caring, we continue to bleed.
If you’ve already suffered once because of someone’s actions,
refusing to forgive is choosing to suffer again…
and again…
and again.
Even if they’re no longer in your life,
the wound reopens every time their memory crosses your mind.

“Healing begins the moment you choose peace over pride,
and freedom over bitterness.” - iSTariray23

When someone wrongs you, consider how much pain they must be carrying.
Happy, whole people don’t hurt others.
Every insult, every outburst, every act of harm
comes from inner brokenness, emptiness, or misery.
But their pain does not have to become yours.

The best thing you can do is this:
Don’t become like them.
Live a joyful life.
They may have left physical scars—
don’t allow them to leave emotional ones too.

Forgiveness is hard only when we think of it
as giving up our pride or surrendering justice.
But forgiveness is simply letting go.
We forgive to release ourselves.
Letting go is not for the person who hurt us—
it is the greatest gift we give to ourselves.

“Letting go doesn’t erase the past; it simply refuses to let the past erase you.” - iSTariray23

You have already suffered.
Do not continue to suffer.

Forgive.
Let go.
And allow yourself to move forward—
lighter, freer, and able to be happy again. Always.

The Philippine Political Circus

 

The Philippine Political Circus:
And Yes, We Bought Tickets… Again

Kung may award para sa Pinaka-Paulit-ulit na Pagkakamali ng Bansa, panalo na agad ang Pilipinas. Hands down. No competition.
Kasi heto tayo uli — nakalubog sa political drama, incompetence, at epic-level disappointment courtesy of the very leaders na ibinalik natin sa kapangyarihan. Ang saya, ‘di ba? Para tayong nation na mahilig sa pain. 

The Comeback Nobody Needed—but Millions Chose Anyway

Hindi ko alam kung collective nostalgia ba ang nangyari o mass hallucination, pero somehow, despite history screaming at the top of its lungs, the country decided:
“Sige, balik natin ang Marcoses. Maybe this time, it’ll be different.”

Ah yes, the classic toxic relationship mindset.
Kung sa love life ‘to, best friend ka nang nag-a-advise na:
“Bes, huwag na, please. Hindi na ‘yan nagbabago.”
Pero ayan — nagbalikan pa rin. And now we’re surprised? Really?

Welcome to Season 2 of ‘Marcoses: The Return’ — Now With More Chaos

Ang dami nang issue. Ang dami nang parinig. Ang daming alegasyon.
Parang teleserye, pero low budget — kasi ang binabayaran natin hindi ang acting… kundi ang damage.

Kung dati ay external critics ang kalaban, ngayon?
Plot twist: mismong pamilya na ang naglalabasan ng baho.
Kung makagawa ng gulo, pang-MMFF. Kung magpatakbo ng bansa… next question please.

Leadership? Governance? Sorry, currently unavailable.

Ang masaklap?
Habang abala ang taas sa drama, ang mga Pilipino?
Nagbabayad ng mahal na bilihin, nagtitiis sa stagnant na ekonomiya, at isang buong bansa ang naka-hostage sa circus na ito.

And honestly:
Ang bulok na pamamalakad hindi na nakakagulat — nakakasuya na.

And let’s talk about the voters… yes, YOU.

Sige na, pag-usapan na natin nang diretsuhan.

May mga botanteng proud pa rin hanggang ngayon. Yung tipong naka-all caps sa comments section, handang makipag-away for free, parang may loyalty card sa political dynasty.

Ang tanong:
Nag-improve ba ang bansa? O nag-advance lang ang level ng kahihiyan?

Kasi kung titingnan mo ang nangyayari ngayon —
ang chaos, ang incompetence, ang pagbulok ng sistema —
parang obvious naman ang sagot.

Hindi ko sinasabing perfect ang past leaders.
Pero come on.
We literally jumped back into the fire we escaped decades ago.

History isn’t repeating — WE ARE.

At this point, hindi na kasalanan ng kasaysayan kung bakit tayo stuck.
Kasalanan nating lahat na alam ang mali, pero inuulit.

“Ang bansa na paulit-ulit na bumoboto ng mali, huwag magtaka kung bakit paulit-ulit ding naghihirap.”

We deserve better — but do we CHOOSE better?

Ito ang real question.

Hangga’t mas inuuna natin ang blind loyalty kaysa critical thinking…
Hangga’t mas mahalaga ang apelyido kaysa competence…
Hangga’t mas inuuna ang nostalgia kaysa accountability…

Then yes — the circus will continue.
And the worst part?

Tayo pa rin ang magiging clown sa dulo.

Happy 18th Jedi!!!

 

🎉✨ Happy 18th Birthday, Jedi! ✨🎉

Today marks a beautiful milestone — not just in years, but in grace, strength, and wisdom. Watching you grow into a kind, confident, and God-fearing young woman has been one of my life’s greatest blessings. 💖

As you step into adulthood, may your heart stay pure, your dreams stay big, and your faith stay strong. The world is waiting for your light — so shine brightly and never forget that you are deeply loved, valued, and destined for amazing things. 🌸

"Eighteen isn’t just an age — it’s the sunrise of independence, the bloom of purpose, and the beginning of your most beautiful chapter." 🌅

Choose Kindness: Stop the Hate, Start the Healing

 
People really need to pause and reflect. 🙌

With Izza Pressman bravely speaking up about her relationship with James, AJ Raval finally revealing the truth about her kids, and even the heartbreaking situation with Eman Atienza — isa lang talaga ang pinapakita nito: ang bilis ng tao manghusga kahit WALA NAMAN SILANG AMBAG sa buhay ng mga taong ito.

We live in a time where bashing is so easy and kindness seems too rare. Some people forget that behind every headline, every TikTok clip, every post — may totoong taong nasasaktan. Public figure sila, yes, but they’re not punching bags for everyone’s anger, frustration, and insecurities.

Imagine having to hide your relationship…
Imagine having to hide your own children…
Imagine being afraid to live normally…
Dahil lang sa takot sa bashers who feel entitled to tear them down.
Grabe, ang bigat nun. And yet many still choose judgment over understanding.

People should realize that being loud online doesn’t make you right.
Trolling doesn’t make you brave.
And cruelty will never make you superior.

What the world needs right now is more empathy, more grace, more kindness.
Kung di ka makapagbigay ng love or support, pwede namang manahimik.
Hindi kailangan sumali sa negativity. Hindi kailangan mag-ambag ng galit sa mundong punô na ng sakit.

Be the kind of person who lifts others up, not one who adds to their burdens.
Choose compassion even when it’s not popular.
Choose decency even when others don’t.
And remember: you don’t lose anything by being kind — but someone else might gain the strength they need to keep going.

Let people live, let them heal, let them love freely.
Life is already hard; let’s stop making it harder for others. ❤️✨

✨Nostalgic Moment✨

 

Just stumbled upon our High School Class Picture — Batch of 1997! 🏫💫

Can’t help but smile remembering those carefree days filled with laughter, crushes, chalk dust, and endless dreams. 😄📚🎶

Time really flies, but seeing those faces again brings back so many unforgettable memories — the fun, the friendships, and the simple joys of youth. ❤️

To my batchmates, wherever life has taken us, you’ll always be part of one of the best chapters of my life. #Batch1997Forever
