Today, I celebrate 37 years of life.

Honestly, this past year was not easy for me. There were moments when I felt lost, tired, and uncertain about what would happen next especially after losing my job in 2025. It challenged me emotionally, mentally, and financially. There were days I questioned myself and my future.

But despite everything, I’m still here.
Still standing. Still surviving. Still fighting.

And for that, I’m grateful.

This year taught me that life will not always go the way we planned, but it also showed me how strong I can be. I realized that even during my lowest moments, God sent people who truly cared for me my family who never left my side, and the few real friends who continued to support, encourage, believe in, and love me when I needed it most.

Thank you to everyone who stayed genuine with me through the highs and lows. Your presence, prayers, messages, and simple reminders that I’m not alone meant more than you know.

At 37, I carry more scars, more lessons, and more wisdom. I may still be rebuilding myself, but I’m proud of the person I’m becoming. This birthday is not just a celebration of age it’s a celebration of resilience, survival, growth, and hope.

Here’s to new beginnings, better opportunities, genuine happiness, and a stronger version of myself.

International Dance Day.

Returning to the stage of the Metropolitan Theatre was more than just another performance it felt like stepping into a living piece of history. As one of the Philippines’ most iconic cultural landmarks, the space carries stories in every corner, making each moment on stage even more meaningful.

I had the privilege of being part of the International Dance Day celebration under the International Theatre Institute (ITI) Worldwide and UNESCO Patronage a global reminder of how dance continues to connect people across cultures and generations.

Performing with Kontra-Gapi made the experience even more special. Playing indigenous instruments and sharing rhythms rooted in
tradition, we celebrated not just movement, but identity. It was a full day of music, dance, and cultural expression one that reminded me why these art forms matter.

Moments like this go beyond performance. They become a celebration of heritage, passion, and the shared human experience through art.

Such a fan moment 🤍

It was such an honor to have lunch with veteran theatre, character, and international actress Rubie Ruiz. She was also featured on Prime Video in the series Expats.

Please don’t miss her latest movie on Netflix, Everyone Knows Every Juan. So proud and inspired! 🎬✨
