God is so good. 🙏🏼

It feels just as meaningful as any championship trophy.

Because just being here, just showing up, just living, that's already a win for me.

Not too long ago, I was lying in a hospital bed, wondering if I'd ever get to do the things I love again. Cancer took so much from me, but it never took my faith. And God, in His infinite grace, gave me another chance at life.

Now, I step onto the pickleball court not as a victim, but as a victor. Every swing, every laugh, every high-five with fellow players, they're all reminders that I'm still here. Still strong. Still blessed.

Thank you, Lord, for this unexpected gift.
Thank you to the Sabangers Pickle Club for taking me in as a family. And to everyone who has supported me, prayed for me, and believed in me—you are my real reward. You give me strength every single day. ❤️

This paddle isn't just equipment. It's a symbol of hope, healing, and new beginnings. 🫶🏻

Congratulations!

Claudia Atienza for winning the raffle!

More than a club. We're a family!

Choosing Joy and Happiness! 🌟

As someone walking the path of cancer, I'm reminded that happiness isn't just something we wait for—it is a choice we make every single day.

I just watched this beautiful and inspiring homily by Fr. Jowel Jomarsus Gatus, and it really touched my heart. It’s a gentle reminder to guard our thoughts, practice kindness, and hold on to the ultimate source of joy and peace.

Let's choose to be joyful, no matter the season or the challenges we face!

1 Year of Strength, Faith, and Victories! 🌊☝️

My heart is so full today. As I celebrate my birthday here on this beautiful island, I am reminded of how far I’ve come. Life has thrown its hardest challenges my way, but through every trial of my cancer journey, I chose to stay positive and keep fighting.

This birthday isn't just a number—it’s a testament to God’s grace and the incredible support system I have behind me.

To my family, my friends, and all the supporters who stayed by my side from the very beginning until now: This +1 year is for all of you. Your prayers, kind thoughts, and unwavering support are the reasons I am standing here today, celebrating life and all its blessings.

Please forgive me if I can’t reply to each of you right away. Signal here on the island is very limited, and I am taking this time to truly soak in the peace and celebrate these wins. I see you, I feel your love, and I appreciate every single one of you.
I am praying for all of you today, just as you have prayed for me. Mahal na mahal ko kayo! 😘

Thank you Lord, for another year of life. ☝️

𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐛-𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐲 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 🏍️❤️

I thought the early bag of chocolates and our family valentines "salubong" dinner were already the main event, but this guy had more up his sleeve! He really had me believing he was doing Grab delivery because he "accidentally" took the car keys to work... only for Kuya Grab to show up at my door with these beautiful flowers! 🤣

Mahal, thank you for all the effort. I know surprises aren't usually your "expertise," but you absolutely nailed it again 🤭 You’re so corny, but you’re my kind of corny. 🤣

Despite everything—the cancer, the treatments, the tired days—you make me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world even when I don’t feel like it.

Thank you, Lord, for giving me an "un-perfect" person who fits me so perfectly.

I love you always! ❤️

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone! ❤️ Whether you’re celebrating with a partner, your noisy but loving family, or that one friend who always knows when you need a hug—I hope your day is filled with love. You don’t need a ‘date’ to feel special; you just need the people who stay by your side through it all. Cheers to the love that shows up, no matter what form it takes!

And most especially to my fellow warriors who are still fighting the big C🎗️💪 This day is for us, too. I know the journey is exhausting and the treatments are tough, but I hope you have someone by your side who reminds you how beautiful and strong you are. Keep fighting, keep smiling, and let yourself be loved today. We’ve got this! 🥊✨
